Mouser

I appreciate that this may not have been covered in 'Saving Private Ryan', but what about the men of the other countries who took part in D-Day?   "On D-Day, the Allies landed around 156,000 troops...

Hey, he apologised (or at least his Deputy did)... what more do you want?  :p

OK, back to the topic:  My answer was that it doesn't matter what you or I think... individual EU member states are not allowed to make their own decisions on trade matters.

The Chinese say the same word (tā) whether talking about a 'he', 'she', or an 'it'. (They do have different written symbols for each, though).

Well, if we became simply a member of EFTA (rather than the EU), like Norway etc., we would retain this ability, as well as be able to negotiate our own deals with other nations. Sure, I wish we...

Sorry, this doesn't make sense to me.  Surely we are even more capable of standing alone (compared to Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland), given that we have a larger economy?  There are plenty of...

That's not quite true.  The number four and the word "death" have different symbols in Chinese, but the same pronunciation.  As a result, four is seen as an unlucky number (just like the number 13...

And what about Sweden or Finland, for example?  They may not see much value in the EU's current solar panel argument with China (given their geography) but are prevented from making their own trade...

"Susan Rice 'to be named to top post' Susan Rice, US ambassador at the UN, is to become President Obama's national security adviser, officials say." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22783877

Sorry, but EU rules mean that only Brussels can make trade agreements, and not individual states (unless you are in EFTA - rather than the EU - like Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, who are putting...

Don't you know that a "mouser" is a cat? I posted it because I found it "a-meow-sing".  :p

Don't you believe in equal marriage, Chato?  Surely Lagerfeld, being a fashion designer, is simply ahead of the times?  Although, for the cat's sake, I hope this is from the heart, and not just a...

"'I never thought I would fall in love like this': Karl Lagerfeld reveals he would like to marry Choupette, the one-year-old cat who has two personal maids and dines with him at the table Pampered...

Apparently British, Danish, and Swedish MEPs pay income tax at regular national...

It makes perfect sense to me.  The European Parliament is a fact, and has real power - are they to ignore the institution and let it continue to pass laws without any dissenting voices?  From their...

But not insignificant if they win.  ;-) Agreed.

Pah!  Have a quick look at this video from a recent UKIP public meeting, and tell me how many "hooligans" you see...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlIor2U6etw

But if UKIP do well in the European elections will you see that as significant or another "protest vote"?

+1.  Exactly right.

What makes you think that UKIP is not a democratic party (which is what you are implying)? Whereas Dicky did so after the catastrophe of the EU regime?
