on the subject of which, at the bus stop earlier, with fireworks going off all around:

chinese guy (for it was him): is Happy New Year?
me: no, it's fireworks night.
cg (fiwh): ah!! Happy New Year?
me: no, Fireworks Night, every year, 5th November, Guy Fawkes and all that.
cg (fiwh): ah!! Happy New Year!!

bless him :)

# no, his bus came.

# Bless him indeed
For if it wasn't for him and his kind we wouldn't have fireworks and wouldn't be able to celebrate the day in the first place.

Happy New Year.

And I must put my hand on my heart and say (without googling) that I don't know when Chinese new year is, so I am in no position to criticise him.

I think he was very brave actually, trying to converse with a random at the bus stop in a language he was struggling with.

# Isn't it around about now?
Or February, perhaps?

Failing that, March, October, September, May, December, July, April, January, June or August, if I remember correctly.

And it's the year of the squid at the moment. Next up, the year of the spiny ant-eater, followed by the year of the ocelot.

# I think that people should be entitled to vote on the Lisbon Treaty
but only if they can demonstrate that they've read and understood it, and are able to contextualise it within a broad political, economic and legal picture.

I fail to see the problem with this scheme.

# If that was the criteria for voting then fair enough
but to say repeatedly there would be a vote and saying they wouldn't sign anything until the public were happy to do so and then go off and do it anyway is a fucking liberty.

At least thats the way I see it. I might have missed a trick some where.

# Quite.
I was going to change it but decided against it.

Almost like posting what could be seen as an anti-european post and using the words 'faux pas' in a reply.

:D

# Well technically speaking the thing they promised the vote on and the thing they independently ratified aren't actually the same.
But I see where you're coming from.

# They promised a vote on the constitution.
Fortunately, the French rejected that, which saved the UK population the indignity of making a national arse of itself.

The Treaty is different, and there's no reason at all to have a referendum on a treaty. There never has been before, so there's no precedent. And it's a precedent that no government would want to set - quite understandably and rightly, in my view.

# Maybe the question should be in a foreign language.
But written in caps, with big spaces between the words.

Because that's how you make a foreigner understand you.
