Possibly - but no. Post ad-hoc nocter proc is my invention to cover various after the event situations.
The "possibly": Maybe subconsciously I've heard your excellent saying and *******ised it somewhat. I've no recollection of that but it's too close a resemblance to fully deny.
Well before Brexit I coined a German sounding phrase Gestrugenes Abgeschlossigskeit. That one fools all but the Germans/Austrians

I cook curries and my party piece is to speak Polish (such as I can) in a South African accent.

Erudition is optional, but good red wine is compulsory…
If you’ve not spent a night on the booze with a failed medic (5th year, who then went on to get his B.Sc, M.Sc, and a D.Phil in Computing) and corrected him on his Latin, you haven’t lived…

Re: Britain outside the EU
The truth is starting to come out
Quote:
Boris Johnson ‘buried head in sand’ on Covid to sort Brexit, ex-Tory health minister says
Speaking to the Institute for Government as part of its ongoing series of in-depth interviews with former ministers about their time in office, Lord Bethell said: “No 10 didn’t want to prioritise the pandemic in early 2020, even though the evidence was mounting – there was a post-election, ostrich, head-in-the-sand mentality, which I saw again around the invasion of Ukraine.
“Its priority, and what we were told many times, was Brexit and levelling up. ‘We have to deliver Brexit, so could your pandemic quietly go and mind your own business, please,’ we were told.
“So we had several weeks of this brushing off, and then they switched into it eventually. After that, we got a lot of erratic dipping in. In Yiddish, it’s called ‘kibitzing’: erratic and ill-informed interference.”
Lord Bethell said the government’s coordination got “a lot better” after Mr Johnson’s former top advisor Dominic Cummings left Downing Street in November 2020.

Funny, they seemed to have more than a few piss ups whilst the rest of us weren't even allowed to go to funerals...

Re: Britain outside the EU
Great news!
Quote:
UK to re-join EU's Horizon science programme
The final deal is set to be agreed within hours and could be announced on Thursday or at the weekend's G20 summit by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as first reported today by Bloomberg. Sources have confirmed the report to Sky News.
The issue has been on the prime minister's desk for weeks while he attempts to negotiate a higher sum for British scientists to ensure they catch up after the two-year absence.
There had been fears the deal between the UK and and the EU may stall over the sums involved.
Sky News understands that Mr Sunak has authorised the deal in principle and is likely to speak to Ursula Von der Leyen, the European Commission President, to finalise it within hours.
Britain benefitted more than any other EU country from grants handed out under the Horizon programme which offered funding and leadership of pan-European research groups and access to equipment and facilities.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Here will be huge sighs of relief across the scientific and industrial communities on the news of rejoining Horizon and Copernicus. This is absolutely brilliant news.

Re: Britain outside the EU
It will take time to build up with the right level of EU cooperation, an expanded business activity away from the EU.
It just needs a business friendly tax regime from the government and the rest will follow.
You rabid Remainers take no positive attitude at all. Yet you and I both think the government is crap. There is no future in taking orders from Brussels. But there is a business future if government makes it possible.
