Great support from the icelandics at the euros tonight. I imagine hrolf the ganger to come from that tiny viking gene pool.....

The actual Hrolf came from Scandinavia and went on to become ruler of Normandy.

I certainly have some Normans in my family tree but I also have a lot of other people as well. I have not done one of those DNA test things but I expect my genes are much the same as many other Brits.

There is some doubt as to whether Rollo, the Scandinavian who took over Normandy and was William the Conqueror's great great great grandfather,was the same person as the Norweigian Ganger Hrolf.

Seems DNA tests are being carried out with Ganger Hrolf's tomb in Normandy having been opened for this purpose!


Interesting though,in any event, to see the HOL Hrolf naming himself after the dynastic founder of a lineage containing such a prominent early exponent of union between European countries, albeit union against the will of the "English"

Turkey fails in many areas for the basic criteria needed to be able to join and those areas are not going to be suitably adjusted anytime soon. You are ScaremongeringIsNotGood.

Explain, please. They joined in 1981. What did they fail on back then but were allowed in anyway?

Deal. *crossing fingers behind back*

I may have been thinking of them joining the euro, so I concede I didn't have a point. Still believe turkey will be allowed to join however, especially in light of the leaked documents the other day.

There are other boys and girls that also did this. They are called the Treasury (no, Kermit, nothing to do with treasure, sorry). They also made guesses about what might happen in the future.

Why do they use all these "ifs" and "coulds", Kermit asks? Because they don't have a crystal fkucking ball.

Idiot.

You'll be disregarding the treasury report as well. It contains plenty of "ifs", "likely" and "coulds".

David.... I've told you many times before - stop taking down Kermit's trousers and pants and spanking him!

I believe he is the basis for Ragnor's brother in the rather excellent 'Vikings' series.

What was this today in the news about Gove and BJ saying that an exit would require 30-60bn in cuts. I thought that it was established that the UK would be 'massively' better off without contributing to the EU.

I only caught it briefly, does anyone have any further details, because to me that sounds like the opposite of being better off, if we have to make large scale cuts in public services. Especially as one of the classic leave arguments deals with the 'pressure of EU workers on public services'

25% of GPs in the NHS were born outside the UK.

What happens when we as a result of Brexit, the 1 million (often retired) older Brits living in Spain come back?

Don't you think that's going to have a bigger effect on the NHS when they need to be cared for as well, as opposed to younger, working migrants who contribute to the NHS when paying taxes and frequently work in the service themselves?

Valid argument which highlights the fact that the only thing these expats take from Spain is the use of their hospitals which are notoriously bad while anyone could come and sign on eventually. The net difference in the costs to each country would be a few mil at most but the disparity is my issue, the principle of the EU preventing us restricting from EU visitors what we're not entitled to over there.
