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.

Quite right too - I thought their commentary was dire - Mark Thompson: BBC has 'lessons to learn' from Jubilee

BBC Director General Mark Thompson has told MPs that the corporation has "lessons to learn" from its coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

No problem , drink green organic tea . I drink mine with fresh mint from my garden

Looks like less tea and more (5 cups+) coffee then :-)

Can Coffee Prevent Alzheimer’s?

Anyone want to buy 50,000 PG Tips bags?

the rich have made a fortune out of global warming which they designed to make the working class pay for it is a load of crap lies the world tempertures have not gone up in the last 60 years FACT it was a scam by the rich to get even richer

jimmy carr and the rest of the tax dodgers should be kicked out of the uk take away there passports they are SCUM SCUM

That would seem to be a very personal evaluation of the scientific data.

It doesn't mean that some have jumped on and off the the gravy, train which was in the market view.

A bit like swapping horses race to race.

Just for Skinny!

The Traffic Warden’s funeral

As the coffin was being lowered into the ground at a Traffic Warden’s funeral
a voice from inside screams:

"I'm not dead, I'm not dead! Let me out!!!"

The Vicar smiles, leans forward sucking air through his teeth and mutters:

"Too late pal, the paperwork’s already done"

Duly forwarded Fred.

any one who worked for the gov or the bbc
was sacked for telling the truth.
global warming was designed to make money and boost the rich
it is a load of bollocks

they where telling people to turn there stand off buttons off .
then you see 40 buses and ccars and planes carring a bloody torch round the eu
what a bloody joke

There's nothing like a sweeping generalisation!

Jimmy Carr didn't have to pay the tax , no rule's or law's were broken.

Can we look after our own pension, and buy a house or something like that?
Any comment would be appreciated.

ahoj . I control my money RETIRED AT 54 . now 64 never put money into a pension .
that is for dimwits .buy good div shares and always sell before div .then buy back if when they drop twice as much which most do .put as much money as you can in to isa ever year tax free . no charges .if you arte married put them in joint names double CGT you will always get more shares after div so your stock goes up.

ahoj . and buy bank shares they are going to be a lot higher in 12 months at list double trust me on that.

Thank you Tanker. Very much appreciated.

ahoj - Government health warning on Tankers tips, ask him about RSA :O)

Don't mention the war! :-)

Ahoy,

There are many low paid workers. who have worked all their lives, paid their bills etc. and barely had enough money for what many of us consider "simple" pleasures.

There are others who are incompetent and unable for many reasons to think, or prepare for the future if things go A over T. like in the present economic chaos.

I am not sure which age group you are in, but if I had had a major chronic illness in my late twenties or thirties, by style of living and expectations of my family and others would have been different.

A paid for education, welfare, social and medical services paid for out of taxation are the basic needs of a civilised state.

Tanker,

I hope you are right about banks.

I hold a embarrassing number of them!

Jimmy Carr.

I wish Cameron would be as condemning about members of his own cabinet and MPS who were "confused", when claiming more "expenses" than they were entitled and have off shore accounts in their own names and that of their wives or boyfriends.

"
For "confused" consider "hypocritical lying thieves".

With them for examples, who wouldn't expect crime to be committed by the young unemployed.
