What time will it be in Thailand as I'd like to be up and about when it happens. Bring it on. I've been waiting 40+ years for this.

Betts your going to get a nasty case of the Loms
Funny how, when the shoe's on the other foot, diplomatic immunity suddenly becomes sacrosact:-
Britain has scolded the United States for refusing to extradite a US diplomat's wife who was involved in a car crash that killed a British teenager.
"I called the US Ambassador earlier to express the government's disappointment about this decision," Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said.
"We feel this amounts to a denial of justice, and we believe Anne Sacoolas should return to the UK," Raab said. "We are now urgently considering our options."
Dunn's family has said Sacoolas was driving on the wrong side of the road at the time of the crash near an air force base in central England used by the US military.
British prosecutors requested the extradition of Sacoolas over the crash in which 19-year-old Briton Harry Dunn was killed while riding his motorbike.
"At the time the accident occurred, and for the duration of her stay in the UK, the US citizen driver in this case had immunity from criminal jurisdiction," a State Department representative said in a statement on Thursday.
"If the United States were to grant the UK's extradition request, it would render the invocation of diplomatic immunity a practical nullity and would set an extraordinarily troubling precedent," the statement said.
US denies Britain's extradition request
Such amazing hypocrisy. Can they even lie straight in bed?
wtf does that have to do with BREXIT?
Nuffin, wrong thread. Rhubarb
So the the diplomacy starts on trade negotiations.
EU leaks on a quid pro quo re fishing for finance, France Belgium and Denmark set to be the focus for this part of the negotiation and the EU insisting the Court Of Justice has a role in overseeing trade disputes. Now of course the ECJ will have a role so that's just silly.
The outgoing Irish PM is being used as a mouthpiece to lay down some "hard" facts about little Britians place in the world and that the EU will remain as one in the negotiations so small countries will not be sold out by the larger ones blah blah blah.
The farce begins.
nothing is going to happen until the 11th hour,
typical lazy British MO

Nigel Farage gave his final speech in Brussels (Image: European Parliament )
The leading Brexiteer said the UK had shown it was "too big to bully" by sticking to the result of the Brexit referendum.
Mr Farage said: "I want Brexit to start a debate across the rest of Europe
"I'm hoping this begins the end of this project. It's a bad project, it isn't just undemocratic it's anti-democratic."
Mr Farage added: "There is a historic battle going on now across the West - in Europe, America and elsewhere.
"It is globalism against populism. And you may loathe populism, but I'll tell you a funny thing - it's becoming very popular.
"And it has great benefits. No more financial contributions, no more European Court of Justice, no more common fisheries policy, no more being talked down to, no more being bullied, no more Guy Verhofstadt."
...and with a bit of luck no more Farage...
I think Nigel should be knighted.
The UK will soon find out that it is a teeny-tiny island on a big planet. Trump owes the UK nowt in terms of a deal, America First!
