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.

-6 here tonight, the snow has had a good melt today. Only a thin covering, talk of more on the weekend.

No elephants in this neck of this woods. :-)) being serious thats sad news.

Neigh Neigh! Horse meat found in Tesco beef burgers

HORSE meat has been found in large quantities in a sample of beef burgers sold in Tesco stores in Ireland.

Tesco, which has apologised to its customers, said the two frozen beef burger products in question were sold in both Ireland and the UK.

Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has revealed the presence of horse and pig DNA in a high proportion of products tested in a study examining the authenticity of beef burger, beef meal and salami products available from retail outlets in Ireland.

Traces of equine DNA were also discovered in ‘beef’ products in Dunnes Stores, Lidl, Aldi and Iceland stores, in Ireland, while 85 per cent of samples tested contained pig DNA.

Are you telling porkies.lol

Glad I don' buy beef burgers and if and when I eat one or barbeque I make my own. Don't eat salami anymore because of its fat content -whow great is all this - not. These dam foreigners hahahaa!!!!!

french have eaten nags for centuries .... signs for boucher chevaline are still not rare
is there really any difference between that and eating bambi, aka venison or larry the lamb?

That's the whole point!

And it did change the subject!

Good night.

Must of tasted better than rat

You trying to get cheap Tesco shares skinny.

Nothing wrong with a nice little bit of horse steak.

Just a little sweeter than beef.

Helicopter 'crashes into crane' in London

The emergency services are responding to reports of a helicopter crash in south London.

The London Fire Brigade said it had received multiple calls of a helicopter hitting a crane in Vauxhall.

Ex-BBC producer Paul Ferguson said the helicopter "plummeted straight into the ground". People have reported seeing a pall of smoke in the area.

Police said they first received calls at 08:00 GMT and the London Ambulance Service said it was also at the scene.

Mr Lucas said the men sometimes used extreme physical and sexual violence on the girls.

He said: "The depravity, and I use that word with care, of what was done to the complainants was extreme.

"The facts in this case will make you feel uncomfortable."

The court was told the girls were taken to empty private houses and guest houses where others would pay to have sex with them, often in groups.

The men came from as far afield as Bradford, Leeds, London and Slough.

The girls were also taken to other towns and cities, including London and Bournemouth.

Mr Lucas said: "The girls were usually given so many drugs that they were barely aware of what was going on. Indeed, they say it was the only way they could cope with what was going on.

"Between acts of abuse sometimes stretching over a number of days, the Oxford men ensured girls were guarded so that they could not escape."

The trial is expected to last until April. The defendants are all in custody.

The defendants are:

but i hear of no action against the clients which is almost more disturbing

Or the voyeurs!

cynic that is untrue the police are going to find the abusers who ver they may be
if you are still think not ring the met

And here's me thinking that Oxford came under Thames Valley Police. Morse would turn in his grave...

it was probably dining at The Randolph that killed him ..... what a dump!

the wrighter of morse drank in a small pub that i some times have a drink.
nice little pub

Colin Dexter would wring (or is that ring) his hands! :-)

from memory that was the Trout on the Cherwell (or is it the Isis?)..... however, i think you'll much of Morse was also filmed at The Randolph ..... certainly Dexter used to inhabit the place frequently
