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.

Cassini spacecraft captures Saturn moon geyser images
The Cassini spacecraft has captured striking images from flying by three moons of Saturn, including new pictures of Enceladus's gushing geysers.
Cassini made its lowest pass yet over the south pole of Enceladus, at at an altitude of 74km (46 miles).
This allowed it to "taste" the jets of water vapour and ice that the moon spews forth into space.

Snow for Easter after the sunshine
After what has been the third warmest March on record, poor weather will arrive on Monday bringing possible sleet or snow in the north, forecasters said.
Temperatures on Monday could reach 14C (57F) in London, but may be as low as 8C (46F) in Scotland with icy conditions in the mountains.
It comes after much of the UK sweltered in temperatures of above 20C (68F) this week, compared to average March temperatures of 9C (48F).
It is thought to be the third warmest March since records began 350 years ago.
In Southampton temperatures peaked at 23 (74F), equalling a previous March 28 record set in 1965.

"Louse"
He hasn't the "louse" to know how to do "something".
It may be a colloquialism from my youth and possibly derived from a Welsh expression. But, it was a used expression.
On reflection remember my original puzzlement when I heard it.
May have been used in a humorous way or taking the mickey.
Possibly, refers to absence of head (lice).
It would be suitable adjective for one on this this thread, who likes "nit picking".
Twit, also comes to mind.
==============================
Good result for Galloway at Bradford.

Do you think our shambling Cameroon is trying to improve this months retail figures by boosting them by sale of petrol and diesel.
Noticed that one person has already paid a horrendous penalty for storing petrol.
Good advice from this government.
Why don't they think of consequences before they open their mouths.

Skinny,
Agreed. But you could see this coming down the road five miles away.

Bradford was a one off. At worst it means....... nothing.
At best it takes a couple of days pressure off the toffs dave and giddeon.
No mention of growlers over the last few days ....... strange. Dont they attract the new VAT.
Melton Mowbray havent complained....... or have they.

If you check sex change, Iran is the first. Total number of sex change in iran is more than the whole Europe put together... and Iran population is 70 Mln only and Islamic country!!! WOW
Reason: After sex change, they can work as Islamic sort of sex business. Get married have sex and divorce immediately (get money for their cost for a week or so, whatever agreed). Then the next person.

The Pasty's Lament
by Evil Knievil aka Simon Caukwell
I am a pastey pasty a-sitting on the shelf
Though warmed by microwaves and handling I’ve failed to attract some pelf.
I was once a must have munchy stuffed in many a gob.
But now I’m taxed like boeuf en croute and left upon the hob.
Will no one make me crumble as I was born to do?
I’ve got a cheesey innard and I’ll make you just go ooooooh.
For more from Kensington’s most infamous short seller read his thrice weekly diaries only on t1ps.com
Evil will be speaking at this year’s Master Investor conference on Saturday 21st April in Islington. To claim your free ticket SIGN UP HERE
