ugh, Brexit... reason I deleted my FB. No one can debate properly on the subject, the 'stay' and 'leave' camps just dig in and whine at each other.
If they are going to do it.. Do it. Pain in the ass for brits living here. Just renewed my passport a couple of months ago. EU passport and when they do leave i hope it's still valid

They should do it, they have to do it. Otherwise the very democracy our Forces, both past and present, risked their lives for is a farce.
But yeah, complete pain in the ass bro.

That's awesome bro. Wish I had the time to fish more.
I keep my tent, vexlar, ice auger and poles in my truck so when I get a chance I stop at a lake and fish. Not a huge fan of summer fishing, I like the taste of winter fish better. But if you don’t have the setup for ice fishing,just keep some poles and tackle in your ride and boom You have the time your fishing.

how is this affecting you other Brits around the EU? i applied for Dual Nationality here but got a rather nasty letter back today. I phoned with a woman who deals with this here where i live (Auslaenderstelle) and she was really unfriendly on the phone refusing to give me an appointment even though it is in the time limit. so as you know a telephone call means nothing so i put it in writing. Now the excuse is my application is not fully filled out so they can´t work on it before 30.03.19. It´s important because i want to keep my British passport & have a German one. Now they are saying we don´t know & you will have to maybe give your British passport up. I will never give up my UK passport. so i called my Turkish friend who is a lawyer specialising in this. Good that i have Insurance for court costs ..etc. let the fun begin

Actually deleted my FB cause of the Brexit bollocks.
Can't wait for it to happen, never voted for it but be glad for it to happen.

With a “no-deal Brexit”, that appears now as the base-case scenario maybe Trump will make an offer to purchase the UK, after the Danish PM's rebuff on Greenland. :D

The Septics already own the UK

It'll never happen... but the idea of making the UK our 51st state is fun to think about.

Militarily. it would be incredibly mutually beneficial. The British Army wouldn't have to worry about austerity measures anymore, because their budget would increase ten-fold overnight. And for us, having the Royal Parachute Regiment become the 5th Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division would friggin' rock.

Economically, it's a bit muddier. On one hand, the UK would be the second richest state in terms of GDP, second only to California and above Texas. On the other –-- in terms of GDP per capita – they'd be our second poorest state, second only to Mississippi, and just beneath Alabama.

Politically, it would be a colossal mess. But the UK would thereafter dominate US politics; they'd make up both the largest voting bloc in the country and would hold ~12 percent of the seats in Congress.

The irony would be that most Brits would probably vote Democrat, and Trump would, with a penstroke, essentially prevent his own party from winning the White House for decades.

No I think people would vote for Donald 😉... Better away from the EU left / Green New Stasi order. Germany is ruined by Frau Ferkel.. MERKILL. She should be in jail for her crimes against Europe.
