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.

It is better than a weakend.

Alds,

As insular as ever!

“President Francois Hollande's Socialists and allies look set to emerge with a majority after first round voting in French parliamentary elections, final results show.

Left-wing and green parties won a total of more than 46% of the vote compared to 34% for the centre-right UMP party, interior ministry figures showed. “

============================

Interesting to see the results if there is a strong lurch to the left wing policies.

There seems to be an overall rejection of the far right parties and their policies. The implications of such are that UK may become even more isolated.

Some in France see the UK, with its present policies and “leading” politicians as parasitic on European.

Also, many are irritated by the bickering they receive from “outsiders”, with or without their handbags.

Probably, France’s (possibly with Greece’s and Spain) proposed internal economic stimuli will initially lead to further devaluation of the Euro in comparison to the Pound Sterling, whichwill compound the UK’s economic problems.

The present UK’s policy is an attempt to “protect” the “value” of the pound.

I wouldn't trust the present UK government, or Fauxrage as child minders, leave alone economic gurus.

They consist of hot air and striped suits.

N,

It is a good start to the week. Not had a completely blue day for at least 3-4 years.

If the market continues to improve at this rate I will be able to buy two coffins rather than just one.

Yes, but drove the tank about 1500 miles around Lower Normandy and Brittany. We were looking for a suitable campsite for the grandchildren in late August and September.

Beautiful country, especially the coast line. Very relaxed in the rural areas. Fresh fish from the markets on the coast.

People still generous to one another, majority of small villages looked cared for.

Made me wish sometimes that I was younger and spoke French fluently.

People seemed to have time to talk, listen, argue and laugh at one another.

Mind, the people I met were "golden oldies".

leveson .g brown is the man sane

Perfectly!

Are you?

I see Fred is making up for lost time not posting his U bend and U turn comment's while he was away on holiday with his French chum's

What a liar Brown is. He said to the Leveson enquiry that he never asked for support from newspapers and never complained when it was removed. There are numerous accounts of Brown's homicidal behaviour when Murdoch switched to the Conservatives at the last election. He was throwing things round the room and shouting swearing abuse at Murdoch. I saw a slight ironic smile from the barrister cross examining Brown on several occasions. He has probably been the biggest liar at the enquiry so far.

Fred think's the Sun [ pun ] shines out of his big brown arse

leveson . osborne how the hell is that idiot in goverment the man is simple

Brown was more honest and clear minded than the rest.

Hays,

I see you believe in the truth of the Murdoch's press.

Be careful, you might believe in a God next.

I think Brown, in spite of some well publicised faults and mistakes is on a higher intellectual plain than Osborne, who appears to be hiding behind "loss of memory" similar to his "mentor" Murdoch.

Alds.

I think I would prefer what is expelled from "his big brown arse" than your oral orifice.

Osborne's "evidence" is "horrendous".

"Not that I am aware of!"

He is like a character from Fiction.

I wonder what Flashman's evidence is going to be like.

I wonder if the next tory polls will show the tory party tying with the Libs on 9%.

Thats a shock the OX in from the start.......

Were going to win. think positive.

I think, I have seen barrow boys given evidence in court and appearing more honest than George is at the moment.

Even the QC Jay and Leveson are laughing at him.

I think Osborne comes across as far more credible than Brown. He seems to be doing a good job.

That will be the first time in his political life.
