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.

Hi Skinny,

Lol, but it's not fair to make fun of them as things are becoming desperate, as I experienced only yesterday.
Yesterday, I was passing one of those soup kitchens that are springing up everywhere, when I heard someone shout, 'Whats a banker like you doing in here'.
At least I think thats what was shouted!

Greek :-)


Egypt protesters torch Muslim Brotherhood offices

Protesters in Egypt have set fire to Muslim Brotherhood offices in several cities, according to state TV.

They were demonstrating against President Mohammed Mursi's decision to grant himself sweeping new powers.

I am going to Egypt next Wed for a couple of weeks (staying away from Cairo).
What with the Coptic Cristians being attacked and now the Muslim Brotherhood, I will probably be safe wearing my Druid leather, cloth and sandals, although I think to cover all eventualities I will take a prayer mat, crucifix and kippar just in case.

Sensibke comments on last night's Question Time

A fact there is no denying.
Palestinians under Hamas (that's not the average Palestinian) does not want and will never accept peace with Israel.
Their main 'stated' aim is the same as the rulers of Iran, the total destruction of Israel and death to all Jewish people.
So no matter what happens, or who you believe is right or wrong, either the Jewish people fight or die.
I reiterate, that it is not the general population who want death ad destruction, as in most countries, you will find the average person just wants to get on with their own lives and live in peace.

Off topic chaps.

Hi Stan,

This is a talk about anything thread, but I do take your point.
I think many will have differing views re this, but I am sure we all agree that peace is always better than war.
Will try to discuss other things.
Have a good weekend all.

I saw one the those old £5 notes the other day!

So did I hanging off my charm bracelet plus a 10 bob and a £1 one, just wish they were krugerrands. haha.

E. coli bacteria arrested, prospect of 125 years in gaol!

We can report that E. coli bacteria have all been arrested for the heinous crime of sex discrimination. They stand accused of “causing excess bladder infections in women”. The chief defence council told a hostile scrum of journalists from The Guardian that his clients’ defence would be that there are differences between men and women that cause the difference in the infection rate. A visibly shocked Vince Cable stated that there were no differences between men and women whatsoever, men should kiss other men as often as they kiss women, have abortions etc. and bacteria of all types had no right to attack women more often than men. “Lock them up and throw away the key until they reform and promise to attack men just as often as women” he said.

HE AS SAID HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE ,
and
OMNISCIENT

rotherham council now think they are gods

Cynic,

Just got back from France.

Changed my mind about the Beaujolais Nouveau.

When act Beaune drank some. It had the "purplish" tint to it and also some body.

Was going to buy some cases on the way back up through Paris.

Although I tasted quite a few, they all seemed poor, thin and less than fruity.

May use the few I have for light casseroles.

"from sicily, it's worth getting hold of I Vigneri 2010 (about £20.00) ... though it's 14%, it does not drink anything like that heavy .... if you're interested, i'll look out the invoice at my office ..... the uk supplier has a great range of really unusual italian wines

"

If you have time I would be grateful if you could e-mail me the suggested information through Moneyam and I will post it on to one of my daughters in Australia.

She may be interested, but she knows what she is doing, I don't!

One of the ways to get around the "fiddling" and associated "corruption" with MPs' second home in London, would be for the the State to own and provide suitable living accommodation and office facilities for those MPs who at the time are working in London at the time.

Travelling expenses, could also provided at fixed rates relating to distances travelled.

They don't have to go to the Ritz for food. If they do so, it could be out of their own pockets.

I thought the "gravy train" of expenses had been cut back in the 70s and 80s.

Fred : you should try the primeur (in english nouveau)...from some of the camargue viticulteurs.....comes out before the beaujolais..(haven't tried it this year) but have the previous years : it is fantastic...better than the beaujolais, (good however that is), and believe it or not keeps until christmas...now the beaujolais is good, but beyond the second week in december ; it turns to ordinary red plonk without that fruity punch !
