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.

Here's an interesting quote to titillate the imagination.
Hodgson: Rooney is England's 'ace in the hole'

bbc news south africa these people or sub humans .

shocking to watch black people thrashing to death a harmless man and a girl.
instead of tackling the gov for corruption .that is why they will NEVER solve there problems killing the wrong people. the south african gov love this

This is the same thing that happens in most African countries. It is even worse in Nigera. I have a friend who worked there more than 30 years ago at a senior level. Even then, the local peope in Lagos would catch thieves and burn them to death inside lorry tyres on the beach. There were so many bodies on the beach and by the road to the airport that there were lorries driving around with "the department for the removal of bodies from public places" on the side. Most of these countries are lawless outide the major cities. The result is that local people take the law into their own hands.

It is difficult to think of a solution until these countries become better educated and more civilised. The same thing happened in Europe at similar times of development. We have to remember that many countries including India, Pakistan and many African countries are in a state of development that we were in several hundred years ago. Their ethics and attitudes are just as primitive. The difference between the two levels and standards of culture is largely responsible for the rise in fundamentalism, religious terrorism and ethnic schisms.

hay a very good post .and the world turns its back

question time , CAMERON IS A VERY DISHONEST PERSON .

Well said, Haystack,

Also a big problem is that many people from these countries come to the UK bringing their beliefs, cultures with them, hence witchcraft murders, IE the killing and mutilation of the body of the young boy found in the Thames, arranged forced marriages and honour killings etc.
I have no problem with beliefs, culture differences, as long as those beliefs and cultures do not conflict in any harmful way with ours.

As Muslim said to the Sikh and the Sikh said to the Hindu and the Hindu said to the Catholic and the Catholic said to the Protestant and they all said to the Atheist.

As the government is cutting expenses by making the costs of the Armed Forces by making them invisible, will the referendum in the Falklands defend it against Argentina or whoever wants it?

Greek,

The problem with some, is that they don't realise when they are being offensive.

(That is more worrying than the insults.

SO WHY DON'T YOU STOP DOING IT THEN ?

Doing what?


In some cases my remarks can be read as being descriptive, satirical and offensive.

Certainly, some of remarks are attempting to reflect discussion and reflections on held positions.

Although it is difficult sometimes, generally I avoid being deliberately offensive, unless of course, it is in response to what I see as attempts at being personally abusive.

The problem with some, is that they don't realise when they are being offensive.

chuckles - I think it says 'alds' not 'aids'! :-)

I believe it's possible to edit our own posts?

Chuckle.

It is, but I didn't.

But have pointed out in the past that some on this board need help.

However, because I am/was dyslexic I occasionally may edit out spelling mistakes, or clarify my wording.

On the posting you draw attention to, I didn't.

Also, if you look back through my postings of recent times I have use Ald or alds.

(I hope it is not projection of fears.)

It may not be new, but I've just come across the term 'drachmageddon' - well it made me smile.

One tonne kebab breaks record

The world's largest doner kebab has entered the Guiness world record books in Turkey, weighing in at a hefty 1198 kilograms.

Hanging from a crane in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Tuesday (June 12), a Guiness official measured the kebab and confirmed its new place as largest in the world.

The one tonne doner, made from the meat of seven cows, had to be prepared by 10 cooks.

Cooks were forced to stand on special scaffolding to cut the 2.5 metre long kebab as spectators waited in line to try it in a sandwich.

The previous record holder weighed in at only 468 kilograms.
