Good Morning All (or in your case - afternoon). With only 2 weeks to go I imagine that the Brexit and Bremain campaigns are heating up. I'd really love to vote but the postal voting system just does not work for ExPats. The ballot papers are sent out about a week before the election and need to be back within a week of the election. With post here being fairly non existent, not to say downright unreliable, there is no way I could get a postal vote in. Still I am enjoying the usual mud slinging and aggression in the media

Still I am enjoying the usual mud slinging and aggression in the media It is getting quite heated, and as a lefty green type I'm finding it most entertaining, seeing the Conservative party at each other's throats. I'm a Remain supporter, but I wish both sides would stop exaggerating the figures (in particular, the Brexiters' blatant untruth regarding the £350m/week).

Dave I would be interested in your opinion of 'Brexit - The Movie' (1h 11m on You Tube). The Brexiters seem to have got their ducks in a far better row than the Bremains as I have seen nothing equivalent (quality or quantity) from them with the exception of Gordon Brown (an asset for the Bremainers?) from Coventry Cathedral.

Congratulations Thargor. Your next (really) big milestone looks like you 5 year Diamond Run Time / Project. With .19 years to go by my calculations you will need 24.57 years of CPU time which you should easily achieve in a year.

Morning team!
----------------------------------------![]() The Diamond globe sounds good, Rod, although it does depend on them not adding any new projects in that time. In the meantime, a slightly smaller milestone added in the overnight-update - Emerald OpenZika! ![]() OpenZika : 1,782,090 : 4,802 : 1:006:11:09:44 ![]() |

Good morning everyone.
![]() Congrats Thargor on 130 years crunching. ![]() Dave, seems that I, my family and friends in this part of the green & pleasant land are left wing, bit of a pity that we are in 'Blue Rinse & ex Colonels' area. |

Good Morning All.
----------------------------------------Start of the Canadian F1 GP weekend in Canada today. Can Lewis win it? It is one of his favorite tracks and I'm sure that he has regained motivation since his splendid (or gifted by Red Bull) win at Monaco (although he should have won last year). I promise no spoilers. Not sure if you would class me as Left Wing (description of the government here by the west). I think that responsible socialist with environmental concerns would be a better (if not more long winded) description.

Yes, Canadian GP this weekend. I'm rooting for Nico, as usual. Football too. I have Portugal in the office sweep, so I will be cheering them on. I'll only care about England if Hodgson doesn't play Rooney.
----------------------------------------Politics... yes, your classification of yourself Rod is fairly well aligned to my own. I'm environmentally Green but socially and economically Labour. Sadly I live in a Tory area, and in thirty years of voting have never had an MP I voted for. Anyone who claims we live in modern democracy should be shot.
