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.

Greek - in your analogy above, you assumed that all European are stupid enough to pay Greek any further even if Greek does not meet the criteria set by the EU.
I think some of you Greeks wither slept too much and dreaming or in denial.

Hi Ahoj,
Actually I am not Greek, I just love the country, the culture and language and if it wasn't for family, I would live there.
It is not the people that are stupid enough to pay Greece any further even if Greece does not meet the criteria set by the EU, its the politicians.
And that is what has been happening for several bail outs now, as the bail out agreements continue to be re-written.
My previous post was 100% tongue in cheek. And yes, I agree that the Greeks are very in denial

David Cameron was visiting a Glasgow primary school and the class was in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked Mr Cameron if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'.
So our illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a 'Tragedy'
A little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.'
'Incorrect,' said Cameron. 'That would be an accident.'
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff, killing everybody inside, that would be a tragedy.'
'I'm afraid not', explained Cameron, 'that's what we would refer to as a great loss'.
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Cameron searched the room.
'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'
Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand and said, 'If a plane carrying you and Mr. Clegg and Mr. Milliband was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'
'Fantastic' exclaimed Cameron, 'and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?'
'Well', said Johnny, 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be a f**king accident either!'
I'll get me coat.

It is more amusing than the Leveson enquiry.
Listening to the "evidence", I had to look to see how many of the participants had their trouser legs rolled up!

Not sure why, but Cameron reminds me of Henry 2nd and Thomas Becket.
But he does demonstrate a very flexible memory recall.

I don't mind tolerating a News Paper owner with a porous memory, but having a Prime Minister with Alzheimer's disease is going to far!

Nice to hide a program on BBC4 re The Falklands anniversary, probably too anti PC for BBC 1 or 2, still I suppose its better than nothing.
Now, transport yourself forward another 30 years.
Programs across the board, re 30 years today 'Leveson Enquiry results', 'Gay marriage between 3 or more people is legalised', EU representatives meet in Brussels to discus saving the Euro, the 2 British Aircraft Carriers near completion, cost estimates now £1,000,000,000,000,000,000 and the big one, A Panorama special on 'Why is Abu Quatarda' still in the UK.
Teresa May, adviser to the Home Secretary states from her care home, " We have every confidence, in our ability to deport him".
You have to laugh or you'd cry.
