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.

Ed balls you may not have any soon, or will your head be on the chopping board ?

Your leader looks none to impressed. :-))

I have been out for my 4 pints
balls must of been be earlier than me today

You must have been drinking with Dreams and doodlebug.

They say birds of feather stick together.

Interesting to see the breakdown of Osborne's confession.

He has failed in meeting his targets.

No gloss paint will cover that up.

Await rating reappraisal.

Fred you are more farcical than Ed balls.

I think most observers were stunned by Ed Balls lack of homework today . Then the
terrible and unprofessional way he presented himself and thirdly took in what the chancellor had to say. Cannot see him in a position in the Labour party before the next election and as for him in government running the country. (no comment)

Pinocchio effect" means people's noses heat up when they lie (Or drink to much wine lol) Fred ?

Temperature scans using a thermal camera show that the area round human noses tends to heat up when we lie, say University of Granada researchers.
By Rob Waugh | Yahoo! News – Tue, Dec 4, 2012.. .


A thermal image (hot areas are red) shows off how lies affect the face

In the children's story, Pinocchio's nose grows every time he tells a lie - but real noses can also give away when we're telling fibs.

Temperature scans using a thermal camera show that the area round human noses tends to heat up when we lie.

The effort of concealing our feelings seems to cause the area to grow warmer - and it is very difficult to mask. The finding could have important implications for lie detection and interrogation of suspects.

A team at the University of Granada are pioneering using a thermograph - the infrared cameras used in night vision cameras - in psychology.





When a person lies they suffer a "Pinocchio effect", which is an increase in the temperature around the nose and in the orbital muscle in the inner corner of the eye.

In addition, when we perform a considerable mental effort our face temperature drops and when we have an anxiety attack our face temperature raises.

Thus, sexual excitement and desire can be identified in men and women using thermography, since they induce an increase in chest and genital temperature.

This study demonstrates that –in physiological terms– men and women get excited at the same time, even although women say they are not excited or only slightly excited.

Thermographic cameras have a wide range of uses such as measuring energy loss in buildings, indicating respiratory diseases in cows or rabies in raccoons.

Thermography was developed in the USA during the II World War to detect the enemy (night vision) - but has rarely been applied to psychology.

Scientists have discovered that when a mental effort is made (performing difficult tasks, being interrogated on a specific event or lying) face temperature changes.

When we lie about our feelings, the temperature around our nose raises and a brain element called "insula" is activated.

The insula is a component of the brain reward system, and it only activates when we experience real feelings - the insula is involved in the detection and regulation of body temperature.

Therefore, insula activity seems to be 'inversely' related to facial temperature change - ie concealing your real thoughts makes your face heat up more.

The more active the insula (the more 'real' the feeling) the lower the temperature change, and viceversa, the researchers state.

I would guess you have a similar nose Fred ?

osborne had the chance to cut benefits and should of cut them not put them up
1% it should be down.
family allowance should be reduced to two children for all familys
the girls breeding like rats for benefits must be stopped for the childrens sake
they are unwant kids by most just a ticket for benefits.
come on osborne ciut the family allowance and forget thechild poverty people
get them to tell these girls to close there legs

Dreams,

Continue your delusions.

-----------------------------

Seems that the majority of economists are thinking of Osborne as the "hollow man".


Don't listen to him waffling and trying to defend his failures on the To-day programme this morning.

-------------------------

Has he lost the UK Triple A valuation?

He is an embarrassment and should be singing "we will all go down together".

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9775000/9775980.stm

fred yes he is hollow he should of cut benefits by 10%from today
make the lazy sods work or sweep the roads .

The Egyptian army has deployed tanks and armoured troop carriers outside the presidential palace in Cairo after clashes between supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi left five dead and hundreds injured.

But, despite their presence, there are reports of a fresh outbreak of stone-throwing between the two sides.

Egypt is seeing growing unrest over a controversial draft constitution.

The government insists that a referendum will go ahead this month.

The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says the clashes are possibly the most dangerous development in Egypt's growing political crisis.

fred are you on benefits a lad about

Still see you make no comments on labours shambles of a talk yesterday Fred ?

Tanker,

Yes, I benefit from the the advances in society, which have occurred due to the introduction of the Health System, Welfare System, Education System, etc. which have added to the general well-being of the majority of people in the UK over the last 100
years.

Also, I am glad I paid my taxes to help pay for those facilities and don't begrudge doing so.

Unfortunately, in your case it seems that you have been failed by Educationally and Medically facilities.

That is a pity.

Dreams,

Try engaging the remnants of your brain, read and then try to understand what Osborne was saying and the consequences.

I know you will find it difficult but try to engage the little you seem to have.

There were two people in the debate,one being Osbourne and one er called Mr Balls up. Its Mr Balls your brain seems to elude.

Fred why do these cartoons exist then, I bet you just do not understand it as you seem to think the sun shines from his a***

Dreams.

For me, you seem to be having wet ones and belong to the same group as Georgie Boy

As you are good as C+P trying reading this reasonable summary of your favourite:

"The smirking class … George Osborne leaves Downing Street before delivering the autumn statement. Photograph: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images


Gosh, George Osborne looks smug. As Labour's John Denham pointed out, the worse the news he brings us, the more pleased with himself he seems. He was smirking before, during and after his autumn statement. Hasn't he heard about the smirking ban? Why can't he just huddle in the cold outside with a tight little group of other smirkers?

And the news was bad. No chancellor in modern times has had to admit such a complete failure to get his numbers right. (Though some might have shown a little more humility. I name no names but Gordon Brown knows who he is.)



"Potemkin village" is political jargon for dressing something up to look much better than it is. On the wasteland of the British economy, Osborne has created the world's first Potemkin desert. A few green shoots of recovery are scattered forlornly across the wind-blasted sands.

Or to be more topical, his speech resembled the Cratchits' Christmas tree – dead, bare sticks with a few baubles hanging limply down.

He got off on to the wrong foot by declaring at the very beginning, "it's taking time, but the British economy is healing!""

fred have not worked for 10 years and have not had ONE PENNY FROM THE STATE
and have never claimed a penny in my life
and still pay over 33k a year in different taxes stamp last year 31k
the country is now full of lazy bastards would have the idea that the tax payers should keep them in luxurys the train is going to stop and the sooner the better give them charity vouchers for clothes and food .

fred as you have posted i have NO education .
so why are all these people who have been to uni school educated
on the benefits .
and a un educated person like myself are NOT claiming benefits
where have i gone wrong .
ha . I should never have gone to work 10 hours aday and should of stopped in bed making babys .

is that about right fred
