That's possibly how they deliver things today, when I see the state of the box on arrival (and sadly sometimes the contents too).

Perhaps we should start our own courier service. The Amibay Mars Express!
P.S. Please pack things well and make prepared for a low gravity, high speed delivery.

Also I heard "The little green men" like kick them around on the barren red wastes of mars while singing their anthem " Mar attack ,Mar attack !"
I must say I am surprised by how many shared traditional thinking about breaking from the union. Sure, no union / organisation is perfect, and every union / organisation is doomed to failure, because human beings are imperfect. Favouring separation by making a new, better union is actually good, healthy thing, but here are expressed ideas of nationalism, which IMHO is wrong in this day and age.
Does humanity as a whole gain anything by posing virtual boundaries such as national borders, currencies, nationalism, regionalism and religion? Are we back in the 20th century or even further back? Oh, right, we favour gadgets from '80s.
I am saddened by the reactionist view of immigrants. We all were immigrants once, came from Africa to settle in Europe. Of course not all immigrants are nice and humble, some are lazy, greedy and will stab you in the back, but so are some natives, whoever native is. Classifying all immigrants as bad is bad. I am not naive in thinking that immigrants will be better for the country/economics/whatever in the long run, but they are human beings being toyed by politicians, corporations, and warmongers. Think if the situation was reversed.
Funny thing is reasoning of breaking up - because other countries forced conflicting decisions on the UK, which I find hard to believe, because UK is (was?) one of the major powers in the EU. Of course in every union everyone has to make a sacrifice. If you are led to believe UK had to make the most sacrifices, then you must have elected the worst politicians to represent your views in the EU. Don't you think these politicians will badly run the independent UK? Wouldn't it be better to just replace the politicians?
No man is an island, and neither is UK.

If they kick my Amiga stuff there will be war I tell you. The biggest worry is them hijacking it for personal use, I've heard they go bananas for advanced technology like our Amiga's. We'd better use armoured transports for delivery just in case!

Don't believe everything you read/see in the media. It is they who made this a immigration issue and decided to call folk racist! It was about a LOT more than just immigration. That was just a small part of it.

@ Boomer you have it wrong my friend we are not anti EU or think we are an island or dont like immigrants, its based on purely economics , pre 2004 before Mr Bliar had a brainstorm and let unmitigated people in the UK was fairly stable , then the problems started , Health service felt the strain, jobs felt the strain, wages, the list goes on, so actually your assumption is wrong my friend.
To ask a question how many EU people came to Slovenia ? during this period as we have had a few million and I think its safe to say any country cant keep taking these influxes its unsustainable which ultimately triggered our Brexit

I agree, it's easier to talk about immigration when your country is not affected by it, and my certainly hasn't been. Immigrants will choose the country, where they have the most chance of success, and I don't think leaving the EU will take off the burden. Actually, if you think exiting the EU will improve your chances, the influx would be even greater. Ideally, all EU countries would have the same economy and language and would be equally interesting for all immigrants. Still, the USA handled quite ok the influx of people and even emerged superpower after that.

b00mer please read the comments again. It was about a lot more than just immigration, though that was a part of it. You can't keep ignoring other things and just put it down to an immigration issue, that's what the media has been doing and brainwashing people with it.

The question is who is gonna finish ban of high-energy dryers, toasters, kettles, ... in the GB now? World will collapse and global warming will destroy entire planet if you dont do it.
Maybe one day EC will focus on old computers and ban them too or add ecological tax at least.

@ptyerman: Sorry, I was replying to supaduper, not to both of you, I thought this was clear from my first sentence. As for the media, I am not reading/watching any news regarding this or any other issue, so I don't think I am brainwashed. I only came across this thread, which has somewhat took me by surprise. I didn't think so many are against the union.
I have applied to the Greek Embassy for my Greek Passport and I plan to get crap out of this madhouse asap.
In a weekend this Country has been thrown back 50 years in time.
The Racist incidents being reported disgust me and as of today I surrender my British Citizenship and will relocate to Europe at the soonest opportunity.
Migrant waitress serving in a café in South Wales asked why she is so happy as she is being thrown out soon

It's a shame the UK is full of so many ill-informed people like yourself who genuinely think "immigrants" are to blame for the sorry state of all of those things. Migrants make a net contribution to the UK, they put in more than they take out. So the only people to blame for our lack of housing, NHS etc are the government that take our tax and don't spend it wisely. you will not benefit from this referendum, I guarantee it.
Sending new politicians to still be one of 28 making decisions doesn't really help.
I thought it was!
Bas dude, seriously? I hope not in Corfu, looking forward to meeting you in person if you decide to settle in Athens or some place near!
I'm looking to relocate to Thessaloniki
So yes we will meet up

Yep, we are an island, and a relatively small one at that. I don't understand all this hoo haa that's going on since the result. Not a lot is going to change, except for the money men and big bankers. And Bas, really? These things have been going on for years country wide, even worldwide! It's only because the BBC is currently on a crusade that it's being reported more, some of it exaggerated too I suspect. Expect more of it for the next couple of week until they get bored and start on something else!
Mass immigration is a symptom of the problem but not the actual cause. I don't blame Eastern Europeans for coming to the west for better wages. I'd of done the same myself. The problem is that the establishment wants mass migration simply to drive down wages and push up costs. The people at the very top are the winners in all this. They are the big business owners. They are the asset owners. More people means more demand for goods and services = more profits. The negative effects of mass immigration such as more demand for houses, extra strain on public services like Schools, Hospitals, roads and transport - these people are immune to all this. Our leaders are suppose to represent the interests of the people who voted them in. Instead they are doing what's best for vested interests - the banks, the multinationals. What we need, somehow, it to get rid of this endless shower of s***e we call politicians and replace them with people who want the best for all of us and not just the few. I'm not quite sure what it'll take to get that though...

Hopefully not as much as it took Oliver Cromwell! :shrug:
Quite, as I like Queen Liz the second...
I am a devout Monarchist and will always have immense respect for the Queen and immediate family
