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.

Interesting statement from Hammond:

""The role of British troops…is clearly not a combat role and will also not extend, as we envisage it at the moment, to a force-protection role," he told Parliament. "We are very clear about the risks of mission creep and we have defined very carefully the support that we are willing and able to provide to the French and the Malian authorities."


=========

It seems Cameron is going to oversee the French.


Probably, to avoid the Lib Dems. or is own party.

The question of Fred going cannot be considered because of his well thought out considered and intelligent posts.. I'm afraid he just can't be spared, and then there is his valuable contribution to Money AM's profits to consider, The advertising ticks that he generates being substantial.. So Tanks what do you say?

Apparently the wind caused such a stink, it left them with little choice.

USA had George Bush,

We have David Cameron and a poor parody of Tony Blair.

Hope he doesn't cause as many problem in Algeria as he is responsible for in the UK.

Yes, George Bush said that God told him to go to war with Iraq and Tony Blair thought it was a good idea as well. What a legacy those two have left behind.

Hallelujah!

Ticketmaster dumps 'hated' Captcha verification system



The world's largest online ticket retailer is to stop requiring users to enter hard-to-read words in order to prove they are human.

Captcha - which asks users to type in words to prove they are not robots trying to cheat the system - is used on many sites.

But Ticketmaster has moved to ditch it in favour of a simpler system.

It means users will write phrases, such as "freezing temperatures", rather than, for example, "tormentis harlory".

Oh good, about time.

It is good to know we have the UK's two best over paid second hand car dealers wandering around the Middle East looking for contracts.
