Well, we are not going anywhere. I think you guys are always welcome back.
Hopefully, in future, all that buerocratic nonsense gets scaled down, too, so the EU actually becomes useful instead of just a lumbering behemoth. The pendulum will swing back, it won't stay like how society is at the moment. After all, the problems humanity faces today can only be solved as an international team. One day we just have to be United Earth, if only for the reason that the other option is extinction. Brave heart.
This, so much. If the EU had done even limited reforms, I'm sure we would still be a member state.
And on the comment by JHD - it should be obvious that one result of Brexit will be far more immigration of highly-skilled (many technologically so) people from outside the EU, which is hardly isolationist or 'Little Englander' or turning back the clock. It's the inevitable result of a 'points-based' system - not prioritised by where you come from any more, but by what you can offer in skills.
(I'm sure some of the same critics will then accuse Britain of 'poaching' graduates from developing countries and say it's 'unfair'...)
Well put, number 13- what changed my mind to voting to exit was a piece by James Dyson about the difficulty in securing talented graduates from Asia due to visa restrictions and EU regulations permitting European nationals to travel here to seek low skilled work, whilst non EU graduates had three months to secure post graduate work before having to go home and thus provide skilled industrial competition in another continent. That was his reasons for moving his HQ to Singapore, to my understanding. Pragmatically moving to where the talent is. So to me its the opposite of inward looking Little Britain to myself, and more in line with what Boris keeps stating - that we need to more of a global reach. The EU has become too protectionist and this has been holding us back. It is (was) essentially a trading block, nothing more. Lets also bear in mind what Federalisation did to the British Car industry as a case in point.

Just had the one of the worst moments of my entire life so far, my boyfriend of five years just broke up with me ðŸ˜He’s the first person I have ever had a serious relationship with so it’s very very hard. I know it’s down to both of us being in different places with our lives. We are still going to be good friends. I am trying to stay positive I have resolved that I need to make a change in my life and be like the Doctor, I am going to start traveling and exploring the world more and make some friends along the way. I am going to try to take some classes and get back to studying my passions in life: get back into acting (something I was pursuing but got sidetracked),writing (something I rediscovered recently) and anything else artistic and fun I might discover along the way. I will always be grateful to my ex introducing me to world travel and we plan on staying good friends with each other. I am not going to lie him breaking up with me felt like being stabbed in the heart twenty times in a row but in an insane way I am glad that it happened because although we still always care about each other maybe I am meant to just explore the world and see what happens. I am sure I will have other relationships in the future but right now I am just going to explore the world, with passion, creativity,and kindness see what happens. Also I am already now planning on going to big finish day if I can get tickets, that way I already have something to look forward to 😊
Sorry if this sounds like incoherent ramblings but I feel simultaneously horribly horribly sad like I have been hit by a bus but at the same time bizarrely excited (something I didn’t expect to feel) where my life could take me next.

I am sooo sorry. This can come as a massive blow. Well, at least it seems as if you broke up amiably and still can be friends.
It is the absolute worst when you end up enemies and there are all the front lines between all mutual friends and the whole affair becomes a quagmire and hell to traverse. So that is a BIG plus. You might not appreciate it yet, but believe me, this is a BIG plus.
I am also glad that you can see a silver lining and obviously have some coping strategies in place.
Well done. I know how this feels, but honestly, it might have been for the best. And who knows what will spring from this. Hopefully you will stay very good and reliable friends for the future. It might be invaluable. And at least you were both honest with resolving this, not ending up in cheating and backstabbing and the whole nightmare which makes everything a 100 times worse.
I am sending you many virtual hugs. And I wish you a lot of strength to walk into the future.
And by the way, I am really jealous that you can go to BF day. It would have been my wish, too, but my brother as well as a colleague are getting married right around that time so there is no way I would be able to leave here to head to the UK.
Which is actually a happy reason for why I won't be able to go and not just some sad job related annoyance.

Timelash is wonderful, very oldskool convention and very welcoming. I loved every second last year.
However, maybe you are lucky and you can score some last minute tickets from someone who cannot attend? They often pop up on this forum and on social media.

Hello again Tuigirl, The German Dr Who convention you're going to as Sixie and where Colin Baker himself is attending is called Timelash?! That is hilarious! What a great name for a Who convention. Hope you have a great time.

I'm sorry to hear that this part of your life has come to an end. That first time is certainly the roughest. Sounds as though you're on the right track, though. Doing what's best for you at the moment. Contrary to some rather toxic social assumptions, friendship isn't a "consolation prize", so much as a change of context. It certainly doesn't erase the five years you had with one another. If anything, the fact that you're both planning to stay good friends reinforces it. I hope it all turns out well, this new period sounds rather exciting.
