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.

aldwickk - its quite interesting to see how analogies change - from your link -

"Think of a spaceship. It has weapons, crew, shields, velocity and location in 3 dimensions. "

When I was a techie I used analogies based around morris minors and slow lanes on the M1!

My local hospital has been thinning out their managerial staff.

Ten members of staff have been given average pay-offs of £79,000 each after they were made redundant by Northampton General Hospital.

Health bosses revealed numbers had reduced by a net total of 56 staff since last year’s cutbacks began, as the hospital aims to save £30 million over two years.

Ten of them were made compulsorily redundant and collected ‘exit packages’ of at least £10,000 each.

Three of them pocketed golden goodbyes worth between £100,000 and £150,000.

The remaining 46 positions were axed through a combination of retirements and voluntary redundancies.

In the latter case, it is understood that no payments have been offered by NGH bosses, with workers simply getting basic statutory redundancy. The hospital also implied that more positions may be cut, as the process “will continue in the years to come”, but added it did not believe services would be adversly affected.

kick out greece the country is a waste of time coruption is rife .let them sink stop all
flights to greece and give it to the immigrants to make it work

Could you simplify your arguments a little more.

I find difficult to understand how you obtain the solution to the present economic problems of Greece, Spain and ultimately UK by your proposals.

Mind I suppose a devalued European currencies in France, Greece, Spain and Italy will certainly help British Exports.

"a devalued European currencies in France, Greece, Spain and Italy will certainly help British Exports"

No. Devalued courrencies in those countries will make their imports cost more and be worse for us. They will benefit as ther exports will be cheaper for everyone else to buy. That is why Chian keeps its currency artificially low.

Go back to school Fred

Hays,

I was taking the "P" and pointing to the cloud cuckoo land the some are living in when jumping for easy solutions such as "Kick the Greeks and Spanish out! "Let the dogs out!

But really I was having a dig at the Euro-phobics who are calling for or delighted at the thought of a collapse of the Euro-zone and have little thought of the problems which will occur.


Edited!

Wandering, but what will be the effect of the Egyptian military coup on the Palestinians?

Ummh!

Has there been one ?

Breaking news :-)

Birmingham Balti curry seeks EU protected status

Curry houses in Birmingham are applying for the city's famous Balti dish to be given protected EU status.

If the application is successful, the name "Birmingham Balti" would be given EU protected name status.

Adas, the agency which helps in the application process, said it would be a big advantage for the city's so-called "Balti Triangle" district and "pin down" its recipe and cooking method.

greece is a nation of beggers they just want all for seating on there backsides .
the rich greeks pay no tax to any country it is time to act on tax scams .
make the tax system so that there is no claims to avoid paying .

and let us beaware it is not the people on benefits thhat are the major problem
in the west it is the parasites not paying there taxes. the goverments should treble there tax bill if they try to avoid paying .and jail them

birmingham balti cancer is what it should be called . the dyes are killing people
and they are blind to what they eat .

Sense of humour by-pass alert for 2 Tory boys alert

I was talking to a lady last night she can hardly walk she is in constant pain .
she showed me a letter from her doctor saying she must not do any work
which means bending her back because the hospital can do no more .
she was called to the claims department for a interview and have told her she is fit to work .I can not believe that these idiots are saying this .
yet I can walk down the town and no hundreds who are fit as a fiddle and have never worked . the system is a complete joke

Tanker,

Are these the types of schemes you are referring to?

Have a look at the tax arrangements of some members of present UK government.

Have a look at Ashcroft's tax arrangements. You know who he is, i.e. the guy pulling the tory strings from the Cayman Isles.

Another foreign Lord. I wonder, if he claim his expenses, if he appears at the theatre?

Thought he was supposed to be coming "home".

fred we need a leader who will do is job .
the likes of CAMERON are a sick joke .
the man is very dishonest and disgrace to the tory party a long side the liar OSBORNE .they will never get my family and friends votes again .
the party is now the CON party .

Mind they are sticking to their policies.

fred wrong TAX AVOIDENCE is now worse the tory backers are paying no tax .
if OSBORNE wanted to stop people not paying there taxes change the rules the only people paying there tax is the paye . this goverment have no intention of changing the rules because they are all at it . it is not worth going out to vote.
