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.

I think it used to be used to refer to both the above and more.

On edit :- I mean dago.

ahoj,

"I think there should be a difference between a British who pays tax a live in the country and a foreigner who come here for a short period of time for work or studying in the country."


Also, would like those companies and individuals who live in countries of “convenience”, but make a “living” in the “UK” to pay full taxes in the UK, rather than exporting their wealth to other countries to avoid taxation.

This would probably reward the chancellor more.

Dave Camoron ‏@EtonOldBoys Right-wingers are less intelligent than left wingers, says controversial study - and conservative... http://bit.ly/weeoxs via @MailOnline

Dave Camoron ‏@EtonOldBoys
There are two things people do, and will never admit to, 1 Is Wanking and 2 is voting Tory, I will never admit to voting Tory

The comment about right and left wingers is pretty meaningless and hardly worth quoting.

Is it all such people, is it those voters, was it a scientific study, how was the intellegence measured.

It is the type of study that naive left wingers latch on to.

Hays,

If your lady driver hadn't done a right turn, her husband would have not have "perverted" the Course of Justice.

Mind it could have been worse she might have ended up in the tory club.

PS,

Being intelligent gives you a better chance of doing something stupid.

Michael Foot is a good example of left wing intelligence. When the public is offered real left wing policies they reject them.

The 1983 Labour manifesto, strongly socialist in tone, advocated unilateral nuclear disarmament, higher personal taxation and a return to a more interventionist industrial policy. The manifesto also pledged that a Labour government would abolish the House of Lords, nationalise banks and leave the then-European Economic Community. Foot's Labour Party lost to the Conservatives in a landslide.

Gerald Kaufman, then a shadow minister, described the Labour manifesto as “the longest suicide note in history”.

The British public don't like left wing policies. They only voted Blair in because he was not left wing. That is why Milliband doesn't stand a chance,

No surprise there! Vicky Pryce 'wanted revenge' over Chris Huhne's affair

Chris Huhne's former wife passed the story about his speeding offence to the press in revenge for his extra-marital affair, Southwark Crown Court heard.

Nor there!!

"Mr Edis said Ms Pryce would now use a special legal defence available only to wives, saying that she was coerced by him into taking the points."

Does that mean husbands are never coerced by wives?

I hope she gets her just deserts.

the loneliness of the long-distance camel perhaps?
