Since the latest brexit fiasco ...
I just have to say something...
Jonathan Pie's youtube piece on brexit was damn funny..
and the top 20 twitter comparable to Brexit made me laugh..
‘Brexit is like...’ The Top 20 Twitter analogies
1/20 The Beatles
"Brexit is like Liverpool trashing all its links to The Beatles and spending all its time and energy building Esther McVey World."
2/20 The number seven
"Trying to understand Brexit is like trying to figure out what colour the letter seven smells like."
3/20 Pilots
"Brexit is like being in a plane hurtling towards the ground with the pilot and co-pilot arguing over who would crash it better."
4/20 Operation
"Brexit is like going to the doctor, being told you need an operation, agreeing to it, then finding out they are going to cut off your cock & sew it to your forhead... ...but refusing to get a 2nd opinion."
5/20 Wall
"My mentions have taught me that Brexit is like Trump’s wall. For its devoted fans it has a symbolic value totally unrelated to its workability, its true cost or the glaring self-interest of its proposers, whereas non-believers see nothing but a deranged and costly vanity project."
6/20 Skydive
"brexit is like a sitcom where at the start of the episode the main character tells a casual lie about being able to skydive to impress someone and now they're at the end of the episode in a plane about to jump"
7/20 Crumble
"Brexit is like if Farage & Johnson said "May we make you an *amazing* apple crumble?” & then 18 months later handed you a leaking bag of maggots & offal. You shouldn’t have to eat it."
8/20 Punch
"‘Asking me to support Brexit is like asking me to punch my constituents in the face,’ said Anna Turley, the Labour MP for Redcar, which voted 66:34 to leave. ‘It doesn’t make it easier if you tell me my constituents want to be punched.’"
9/20 Fire
"Watching this government deal with Brexit is like being locked outside your house while you can see people inside setting fire to the furniture as the law’s telling you you can’t go in and stop them."
10/20 Villains
"Brexit is like living in a superhero movie that has no heroes, just loads of incompetent villains fighting over who is more evil."
11/20 Book
"Brexit is like a bad novel. You are so far into it you just want to skip to the end to see if it ended as badly as it had begun. (You throw the book at the wall when you realise it is the first book in a trilogy)."
12/20 Cricket
"Watching Brexit is like trying to reverse engineer the rules of cricket by listening to the radio. I have absolutely no idea what is going on."Shutterstock / ChrisVanLennepPhoto
13/20 Car
"Brexit is like the UK took a motorway exit, then found the road turning into a rutted grassy track, and now the car's stuck in a muddy field, there's no help in sight, it's getting dark, everyone's shouting at the driver, and the passengers are beginning to worry about food."
14/20 Cable
"Watching Brexit is like watching someone try and plug a coaxial aerial cable into a HDMI port. There is a lot of anger, a lot of swearing, and a lot of remarks about how this used to work before."
15/20 Windows
"#Brexit is like going back to Windows 3.1"
16/20 Liars
"I'm sure most people remember a kid at school who just lied constantly? Who refused to back down, however outlandish the lie, and however it was disproven? Brexit is like all of those kids from every school have got together, and are now running the country."
17/20 Donors
"Trying to extricate ourselves from the EU, and Brexit, is like a multiple transplant patient attempting to give all the donated organs back."
18/20 Electricity
"Paying my taxes to pay for Brexit is like asking a guy on death row if he has any change to put in the meter for the electric chair."
19/20 Bandersnatch
"Brexit is like watching Bandersnatch with your bae where bae is 70,000 Conservative party members hogging the PlayStation controller & choosing the most WTF option every time.!
20/20 Constipation
"Brexit is like the **** that never comes. Total constitutional constipation. Ironically Brexit also sounds like a constipation relief medicine."
Sorry to hear the country is doing the "swirly" down the loo...(toilet for you Brits)
But I have to admit it has spawned quite a bit of humour..
and it wasn't like many didn't say ..."don't go down this road.."
5/20 Wall
"My mentions have taught me that Brexit is like Trump’s wall. For its devoted fans it has a symbolic value totally unrelated to its workability, its true cost or the glaring self-interest of its proposers, whereas non-believers see nothing but a deranged and costly vanity project."
And remaining on the topic, I heard a summary on the radio by some (female) comedian whose name I have forgotten:
"Trump is like having a painful bikini wax. You cannot help thinking to yourself, 'Bush wasn't that bad...'"

I was guided here. To talk about anything. So maybe I come out of closet: I have seen ufo, unidentified flying object, 1995, above Espoo, Finland. A black triangle, coming out of a cloud, stopping, going backwards back in and vanishing with the cloud. First didn't speak about it, then told to some but didn't think about it more. Then at 2010 or something started to search the net about ufos just for fun and bumped into black triangle sights which had started about 1995. Very similar looking thing with stealth plane by US. Which was introduced after 1995.
What happened? Finally a real UFO sighting and Dave999 is nowhere to be seen? What has the world come to?
I just did the stupidest thing in a long time today. Had a demo and needed to connect four development boards. But I was running it in a meeting room and not at my desk where everything is nicely set up. My laptop had only three USB ports. What to do, what to do...? A colleague helpfully offered a USB hub. A powered one. Great, I thought. And look, there is a power adapter with a matching plug! Connect, connect, switch on... Nothing works. Frantic look around... Oh, bummer. The power adapter gives 12V, not 5. Three of my four boards fried. Just like that. I have no idea how the fourth one survived that but it did.
There's this piece of advice for electricians that's part of almost all checklists in finland, "savun hälvettyä tarkasta kytkentä" which translates to closely as "after the smoke has abated, check the circuit"
you know what saved that 4th one eh?
forget rationale ...
forget the super mega giga blood plasma ligament lycanthropic howling wolf moon we just finished having...
