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.

Falklands War: UK and Argentina mark invasion 30 years on

A single candle is to be lit at Britain's National Arboretum to mark the 30th anniversary of the start of the Falklands War.

Argentina invaded the islands, which it calls the Malvinas, on 2 April 1982.

My wife told me to go to the doctors and get some of those tablets that 'help' get an erection.

You should have seen her face when I came back and tossed her some diet pills!

I'm still looking for a place to live.

Skinny, Skinny.

Your dinner and your bed is in the garden shed.

Hays,

I see another cunning plan!

If "they" haven't got anything on you yet, "they" will find something, after the E-mail I am sending you.

PS>

When the next labour government, I wonder how they will use all the juicy information.in the data bank.

It may be a slippery slope.

bradford birmingham leicester to vote to rid them of brittish gov ,
the start of the break up of the uk and all down to liars at the top
you can not believe anything they say .

Just realised, the "juicy information" will be leaked daily like the Budget!

---------------------

Tanker,

Bradford was perhaps a vote of despair.

The present government is just poorer at lying than previous governments.

(A remark I heard last week with the last U-turn and the statements over the fuel supplies, was that "the present government aren't even competent liars.)

That is causing the loss of faith with the tories, even within the party members.

======

I can see Scotland going for greater independence than they have now and there are some elements in Wales who would like a greater degree of self government, but the latter are unprepared for it.

When parts of England had a chance for regional government they rejected it.

Interesting in Maggie time the tories centralised responsibility as the local forms of "governing" couldn't be trusted. It was the "We, in central government, know what is good for the periphery".

Now, because the government is incompetent, the attitude we will divest "responsibility" to the periphery but try and hold on to "power" and appear, hopefully, to be in "control".
---------

There seems to be a denial of the reasons for political and governing evolution in this country.

Why the sudden fall in share prices?
Any news, etc!

Can anybody tell me the cost to the UK of "running" the Fortress Falklands Islands?

Interesting to see the repeat of "defence mistakes" of the Maggie government, which led up to the Falkland war, being repeated by Cameron.

My key board is becoming as odd as I am.

Not quite!

Shakespearean fools: Their modern equivalents

Shakespeare loved a fool and not just on 1 April. He used them in most of his well-known plays, but who would their equivalents be today?

You couldn't make it up!

Priest in 'indecent images' row at primary school in Pomeroy

An investigation is under way after indecent images were "inadvertently" shown by a Catholic priest during a presentation at a primary school in County Tyrone.

Father Martin McVeigh projected the images onto a screen during a meeting for parents in Pomeroy in preparation for First Holy Communion. One child was also present.

.

Were they from his private collection ?

Just watched a 1940s propaganda film, where they were blaming "red tape" , bureaucracy and lack in research for their problems.

History repeats.

You do lead an exciting life
