Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

State-backed mortgage scheme NewBuy 'threatens negative equity'

The Government’s flagship scheme to revive the housing market threats buyers with “instant negative equity”, a leading analyst warned as it launched on Monday.


“From a housebuyer’s point of view there is a very real chance of instant negative equity, since – if this is the only real source of 95pc mortgages and it is only available on new homes, where volumes are near historic lows – there will be short-term upwards pressure on prices, which like buying a new car, will evaporate when the buyers put their keys in the lock,” he said."

Rebekah Brooks arrested in Weeting probe. Is this anything to do with Weetibix ? Did she shreddedweet the evidence ?

Hi Aldwickk,

Don't know about the Weetibix or Shreddedweet, but you got me thinking.
With all the evidence, she's probably going to end up (Kellogg's) Toast, with a Frostie reception from her boss Rupert Murdock, it will probably be Cheerio.
I always wondered about the close relationship between them both, IE has he seen her in her Shreddies, doing a few Fruity Loops and given her the odd, Hunny Smacks.
At his age it would probably all end in a few, Organic Wild Puffs and a couple of Shreks.
Whatever happens, it will be a Rock Road ahead.

Perhaps we should get together and be the 2 new Ronnies, but there again, looking at these 2 posts, probably not!

Hi Mnamreh,

Typical forgot the most obvious.

Perhaps, she will have to get her oats somewhere else.






I mean fodder for the horse.

Encyclopaedia Britannica ends its famous print edition

After 244 years reference book firm Encyclopaedia Britannica has decided to stop publishing its famous and weighty 32-volume print edition.

It will now focus on digital expansion amid rising competition from websites such as Wikipedia.

The firm, which used to sell its encyclopaedias door-to-door, now generates almost 85% its revenue from online sales.

It recently launched a digital version of its encyclopaedias for tablet PCs.

Looks like I made a big mistake yesterday when I told an Encyclopedia Britannica Salesman to 'B****r off'.
He had the usual patter, you know, 'This set is the last numbered edition. It will be worth a lot of money in a few years as there not printing any more'.
You don't want to miss out on this opportunity'.

Must go now, there's a bloke at the door selling subscriptions to Readers Digest, don't want to miss out twice!
They could be the next to go!

As a side.
Just think if 'Playboy' went digital.
Wouldn't be the same, sneaking behind the bike sheds at school with your mates.
A piece of chewing gum a gob stopper or a fag, for a quick look (at Playboy, I hasten to add), just wouldn't have the same feel.
Anyone like a quick look at a dirty pen drive or SD card, just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Looks like the days of, 'Would you like to come in and see my etchings have long gone'.

Hmm I remember walking to school via a slightly dodgy paper shop who displayed "Health and efficiency" Mags full of robust ladies lobbing beach balls around, on his shop door!! Very unhealthy for a lusting schoolboy!!
