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.

these BBs are, i hope, primarily for useful information to give some guidance as to what shares may be worth following

Cynic,

"these BBs are, i hope, primarily for useful information to give some guidance as to what shares may be worth following"

I often wondered why you posted.

But the squelch button is useful, and speeds up scanning of postings by avoiding the postings of those who seem to have the need to be deliberately grossly or crudely abusive.

True, one can read and ignore the abuse, but the temptation is to rebut false, or what one thinks false “assertions”, but doing so just feeds the needs of the perpetrators and increase the level of abuse and is a “waste of time”.

It is interests me that many of this “type” of poster, often show the need to “gang” with others, like bully boys, or girls in the playground. Doing so seemingly gives themselves and their opinions an unjustified validity.

(I am happy for them do continue to post, as it may prevent them from doing worse.)

Did anyone see David Attenborough's African programme on the Sahara a few days ago?

This cartoon in Friday's Times (only now have the time to post it) refers to that - just had to share it with you guys :) Peter Brookes is just brilliant!

Never thought of him as Dung Beetel before. More as a Boys Own reader of history.

Or the party faithful are saying.

Chris Huhne pleads guilty.

Reminds me of Jonathan William Patrick Aitken.

should bloody well think so ...... why on earth should he ever have even contemplated pleading otherwise? ....... he was very clearly "banged to rights" and will now certainly be hit with a harsher punishment

In that it seems the case was based on camera work, he was pushing his luck a little.

"prob because CH is/was a quasi tory secretary of state"

Actually, now you mention it, he would fit into this quasi "government" quite nicely.

Let him go free.!

But his action was the height of "Stupidity"!
