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.

Rather than be polled which police commissioner we'd like to vote for the government should maybe ask us to declare which country we are in allegiance with. If the answer isn't Queen and country then surely the question of residence should be asked.

Further to this one could also argue that benefit forms should only be published in one language.

Friends of mind over the weekend informed me that their midwife told them that she used to be able to fill 5-6 appointments a day. Now she struggles with 2 due to either language barriers or questions such as benefits being asked for which she doesn't know the answers. Clearly if one doesn't speak the local language then maybe one should reside in a country where they do.

MJ - behave yourself! .... in fact, it is the mother in jewish households who often or even usually holds the greater sway

lawyers have an absolute obligation to work the law/system as best they can for their client
judges have an absolute obligation to pass judgment according to the law, which is too often shown to be neither fair nor even common sense
if the law is an ass, as is all too often the case, the it is the fault of the legislators, though it is all too easy to be frightfully clever with hindsight - as with share trading!

Postal Scam:


Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:

A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact the m on 0906 6611911 (a Premium rate number).

DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize .

If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

Try checking your facts before you post rubbish.

Sorry I wasn't aware it was rubbish, this came from a reliable source. Considering some of the stuff that is posted on this thread, I think it is a bit mean to call it rubbish. Entitled to your opinion 'tho. Actually I don't know what you contribute to this bulletin board/website - apart from the occasional know-it-all, smart a--- post. Are you always grumpy, or did I just get you on a bad day?

Hi Doodlebug,

I doubt This is me, is referring to your post, as I heard about the same scam a few days ago.
He is probably commenting on someone we both have on ignore!

That scam has been posted about for a few years now so if it's true it's just a re-incarnation of the original.

Alzheimer's detected decades before symptoms

Some of the earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease have been found in a US study more than two decades before the first symptoms usually appear.

Treating the disease early is thought to be vital in order to prevent damage to memory and thinking.

A study, published in the Lancet Neurology, found differences in the brains of people destined to develop an early form of Alzheimer's.

Experts said it may give doctors more time to treat people.

Alzheimer's disease starts long before anyone would notice; previous studies have shown an effect on the brain 10-15 years before symptoms.

It is only after enough brain cells have died that the signs of dementia begin to appear - some regions of the brain will have lost up to 20% of their brain cells before the disease becomes noticeable.

A devout Muslim enters a London taxi;
once seated he asks the cab driver to
turn off the radio, because he says he "must not hear music,
as decreed by his religion and, in the time of the prophet,
there was no music, especially Western music which is
music of the infidels and certainly no radio ........."

So the cab driver politely switches off the radio,
stops the cab and opens the back door.

The Arab asks him:
“What are you doing, man?”

The cabby answers:
“In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so wait for a camel.”!!

A record 81p of the cost of every litre of petrol goes to fill the Government’s coffers, figures reveal today.

For every 138.3p motorists typically pay per litre at the pumps, almost 59 per cent goes to the Treasury in the form of fuel duty and VAT, according to data obtained from the House of Commons Library.

Campaigners said it showed the strain on the UK’s 33million drivers was already too great – and called for Chancellor George Osborne to further postpone next year’s planned duty increase

David Beckham, the British born soccer star, is admired by legions of fans around the world for his skilful moves and powerful kicks on the field. He is a great Ambassador for this country and sport. He does not have to be brain of Britain.

Tanker first of all please book some spelling lessons. You have no right commenting on David Beckham when you cannot even spell his name correct.
