When did the Fergie sting take place?

I was at a fund raising party that she attended on Thursday in Battersea - and she seemed pretty cool at the time. She was on top form, with her and Beatrice auctioning off a watch and some jewellery that supposedly had been bought as Andy's birthday present.

She was relaxed and laughing and joking with the bidders - my guess is she couldn't have known this was about to blow.

i confess that i do feel quite sorry for her, though she has and does bring a lot of trouble on herself ..... just naive? - probably

Hey B,
She met her nemesis on Tuesday evening.
No way back from this. Mind you, just look at Aitken and Archer.
I assume she has already taken bribes before so might be up on corruption charges eventually, though I'm sure the monarchy will do its best to bury any such outcome.

bribe? .... yes i suppose so in rather a vague way, but in honesty(!!) if someone is mug enough to part with such a sum merely to gain audience - and it really is no more than that - then it's their own stupidity

I believe the NOTW launched this story very, very carefully, and a tadge bit late with it too, so as not to let their competitors get in on the scoop.

Thus the first Fergie would have know about it, would have been when one of her friends rang her on Sunday morning to tell her what was about to hit the street and be all over the media.

Re: Archer - Apparently Maggie Thatcher has never, ever missed one of his Garden Parties. Hmmm? So that must make at least make him alright with the Thatcherites, then. Oh, and all the charity auction people like him too. And my wife has just rather impatiently bought his latest book.

Re: Aitken - Having done his time and converted to religion, as well as doing charitable works too, he can now hold his head up reasonably well above most parapets.

Re: Fergie - Poor lass. After all she is so short of money. And Beatrice has lost a lot of weight too, so I think Fergie might make a comeback on the back of her two lovely daughters. Perhaps in about a year's time. Meanwhile, I'd suggest she gets a new job in the States.

But more importantly, is there any way back for both Israel and the Palestinians?

What do they have to do to correct their mistakes?

cynic
you seem to have an aptitude for misinterpretation

"Islam you have a problem"

These lunatics with rats in their skulls are causing great damage to Islam
They are setting themselves against all civilised norms and bringing it into direpute

Seems like Thailand, Malaya and Phillipines etc are much in the same boat

It looks to me as though Islam now needs some new secular type leadership to deal with all this rubbish

I thought I saw the makings in Iran but the reformers seem to have been trodden underfoot or executed

iran is terrifying with severe torture leading to death being a hobby to cheer the dull evenings for the ruling cabal

Poor Fergie (myarse), judging by the way she was quaffing the wine a visit to Alchoholics Anonymous looks on the cards. she has obviously lost the plot, she got caught end of!

She must have a reputation for taking bribes otherwise the NOTW wouldn't have stung her.
Greed and corruption. Never mind this, "poor thing, she hasn't enough money for her lifestyle" nonsense.
Don't all our politicians look such bargains in their "introduction" demands now.
3000 a day - chicken feed to Fergie; wouldn't even pay for her alcohol and fags.

SAD SAD look at the link below ....there is no word can describe this torture..

Israel's highest court has ordered stronger charges against two military personnel over the shooting of a bound Palestinian in the West Bank.

The sergeant and his commanding officer were originally charged with improper conduct, which would have carried a maximum penalty of one year in prison.
The soldier, acting on orders from his commander, shot Ashraf Abu Rahma in the foot at point-blank range.

"It is a cruel act that deserves a punishment which reflects this," the judges said.

Now post up a few videos of the hundreds of islamic jihad and Hamas beheadings, whippings, stonings and throat slittings and explain the Hamas judicial processes that follow ......

Was it Jesus who commented on who might be qualified to 'cast the first stone'?

Aha! A job for Fergie....?

Gausie,

Do you compare and accept that Islamic Jihad/Hammas and Israeli military are terrorist, if yes I will post your request.

Will you hell.

Of course the israeli military are not terrorist. Israel, like any other western democracy, has it's loose canons and abu graib's. But these are the exceptions - and the bad apples are prosecuted and punished with the full weight of the law. I, like Israel, wholeheartedly condemn the actions of the individuals involved in the rubber bullet incident.

Do you condemn Hammas and Islamic Jihad?

gausie - beware of lowering yourself into this pit

JESUS SAVES!

ROONEY KNOCKS IN THE REBOUND!

Interesting!

Classic Yorkshire Pudding

Best served with a side of beef on the trencher


Like Grandma used to make - the secrets of success are Hot Oven, Hot Fat and Hot Heavy Pans.

I find semi-skimmed milk is better than full cream. Some cooks use half and half milk and water. Originally the pudding was cooked below the joint to soak up the meat juices which dripped down from the shelf above. Nowadays the puddings are often cooked in the top of the oven while the meat is resting and the puddings can be served as a first course or as an accompaniment. We've got main course and dessert recipes later.

Ingredients

125g / 4oz sifted plain flour
a pinch of salt
1 large / 1 medium egg
300ml / half pint semi-skimmed milk
oil or melted dripping

Make sure the oven is hot - 220C / 475F / Gas Mk 8.

Using a wooden spoon, gradually beat the egg and milk into the flour and salt until you have a smooth batter. Beat well and leave to stand.
Pour a little oil or dripping into each cup of a heavy gauge bun tin (I use a cast iron American Popover Pan). Alternatively use a roasting tin for one large pudding. Place in the hot oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Beat the batter again and decant into a jug for speed. Without allowing the oil to cool, pour the batter into the hot pans, half filling the cups. Bake for 12 - 20 minutes - depending on size - until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
Try not to open the oven door until they're done - glass doors are useful. If you have to, just open it enough to take a quick peek.
