There has been a bigger turnout in Australia’s same-sex marriage postal survey than in the UK’s Brexit referendum.

 

78% of eligible Australians have now cast their vote in the non-binding ballot on marriage rights.

 

(Googles:

 

Population of Australia: 24.1 million

 

Total votes in EU referendum: 33.5 million

 

Conclusions:

 

Either (A) Bad arithmetic (B) Fake news OR © Tower Hamlets has become part of Australia )

Or (D), you assumed it was based on total numbers rather than % of population turning out to vote.

 

SSM voting: 78% of eligible voters

 

Brexit: 72% of eligible voters

I know I have said this before,. . .but since I returned,. . .(by TAXI and relatives I hasten to add ). . . from a Greek Orthodox Funeral service earlier today,. . .filled with Greek alcoholic substances from the 'Wake'. . . .I MUST NOT $hitpost until fully cleansed of the evil effects derived from chemical Government alcoholic comestibles. . . .

 

My Daughter's Partner is a Bloody Greek Git,with a MASSIVE family. . .and this is why Wifey and myself were dragged, kicking and screaming to this funeral service, In Central Birmingham, at a Greek Orthodox chapel. ( God only knows what will happen at my big Daughter's wedding on Nov 5th 2018, when His entire family come to England for the feast. . .. I think we could well have all of the porcelain producers in Stoke - on - Trent very busy for a month or two, replacing all of the broken dishes and plates. . . .) The Greeks have already booked 24 of the 28 room motel spaces at the venue, for themselves . . . .

 

We got back from the 'DO' and the Missis collapsed, fully dressed on the sofa. . . { ***Edted to add,. .I covered her up with a blanket,. . .I know, I know,. . .but with my poor old back,. . .I might well have carried her over the threshold when we were married,. . .but I COULDN'T Possibly repeat the performance now, by carrying her up the stairs to the bedrroom. . . at my age and state of health. . .} .( She can drink Ouzo, but I'm allergic to aniseed. . .) However,. . . . there WERE other options for myself. . . in which I was invited to imbibe, most liberally. . . almost as bad as a Sikh wedding, where every Male guest is given a personal full bottle of whatever 'Top Shelf' spirit takes his fancy. . .

 

This isn't an excuse. for incorrect $hitposting. . .but a pathetic, partial reason.. . .

Feel for you, Phil - coming from Melbourne and having attended a couple of Greek funerals and weddings..

 

But, my advice is to do what I have now done - go long on lamb and goat futures deliverable in B'ham due in either Late October or very early November.... And plates, too.

You can preserve things in alcohol but it's better to wait till (you)/ It's DEAD first. Nev

Like the Irish bloke who drowned in a vat of whiskey at the Jamieson's factory - they tried to rescue him 3 times, but he fought them off bravely.

Nah. I heard that he got out three times to pee before he drowned
