    Well one way of looking at it historically is:- we got through two plagues and this is nothing in comparison.
    2nd computer gigabyte P965ds3p, 7770 E2140@2.9ghz, corsair HX520 6 years stable, replaced now with E8400@3.9ghz and will overclock more when I'm bored.

    I am looking forward to a new hospital every week though.

    Oh, what? They're all distancing themselves from it?

    Re: On this day...

    On twitter I've just seen a video of a bloke in Manchester saying he voted Leave because he didn't really think it'd happen, and now he's really worried.

    so .. yeah.

    That saddens me so much I can't express it.

    Does he also take that approach with other things? Say by running red lights, putting electric sockets in his bathroom and poking a sleeping bear with a stick?

    Apparently there's been another one saying the same thing elsewhere. Wonder how many people thought Leave was a safe protest vote with no real chance of winning...

    can you post a link?

    Edit: Found it

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entr...b08d2c5638ee29

    Incredible. I wonder how many other protestors there are who have done similar but are keeping quiet.

    Re: On this day...

    Finding it sad that people are saying the older generation's vote shouldn't count and that the future belongs to the young. Certainly the older generation could have chosen to vote irresponsibly and selfishly, but isn't it also possible that they voted as responsibly as they could and sought to secure the best future possible for their children and grandchildren?

    Finding it quite dark that all sorts of camps are suggesting the votes of different types of people shouldn't count.

    Ugh, I had retweeted it but the original tweet has been deleted, frustratingly. Will see if I can find the clip again.

    Ahha, google works for me: http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/24/man-wh...award-5964450/

    On this day, we voted for change , we showed the middle finger to our incompetent Prime minister and government and the blood-suckers in the EU council. On this day, we see hope that our country can be great again.

    ah blind hope. What a fickle mistress to pursue. Just like a certain person entered the white house trumpeting, only to find hope doesn't necessarily deliver in reality. Hope? Hope gets you nowhere. Hope clings to untruths and deception if it wants to hear them because it hopes for something better than reality offers. Hope holds out clutching at straws when all the evidence states it will not work. Hope whips a man up in a frenzy should he let it in anticipation of a dream that he desires to be realised, and so he might hope, and weary himself in his longing. But hope without basis, without evidence to support it is worthless. A pipe dream. Anyone who voted in the face of the evidence and FACTS on the basis of hope alone has done great harm to our country today. Like the man who puts his house on red and hopes it will come up - that is the gambling action that has taken place with our country.

    You must be seeing something quantifiable.

    Please share, a lot of us are feeling very down today and could do with a glimmer of hope?

    I'm not bothered either way really its all been blown out of proportion by the press. Britain will continue trading immigration legal and illegal will continue your day to day routine will not be altered. The elite 0.5% Bankers Rothchilds ECB Goldman Sach Fed Reserve will still run things.
