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.

You do seem to be involved with you bowels.
Almost as constipated as your present tory "leadership".
Suggest you need a good laxative.

Leaving a sinking ship.
Good to know your friends.
Ashcroft pulls plug on Tory donations
THE peer who spent £10m of his personal fortune bankrolling the Conservative party has declared he will withhold funding for its next general election campaign.
Lord Ashcroft, whose finances played a crucial role in Tory efforts to win marginal seats in 2010, has told friends he has given enough money and is unwilling to devote further resources to securing an overall majority in 2015.
It comes amid mounting pessimism among Tory supporters about the prospects of victory. Although Ashcroft has not publicly expressed doubts over the party’s ability to win, privately he is said to fear Labour is likely to secure more seats.

My cousin (not the same surname as he my mother's brother's son) did an investigation on Ashcroft for one of the major papers and TV, He angered Ashcroft so much that he mentioned him in his autobiography by name and implied that he would get his revenge on him.

Took the dogs for a walk around the fields and back through the village. The fields have dried with the winds. Hands were frozen as I got home as I forgot gloves.
Cynic I bet you was warm with all that on and on the move. Did you win ?

About time Fred came on the thread :-)) -
•The term used to describe someone who hogs the conversation. Who just won't shut up, babbles on forever taking over the conversation and really has nothing important or interesting to say (rather like a filibuster)

indeed, though it was just a typical sunday (un)friendly 4-ball ..... i'm lucky enough to play at one of the "name" clubs ..... we played the championship course, and though only off the tees-of-the-day, it was still long and very tough, especially the last 4 which were straight into the breeze

I think George deserves better.
Hear that the party faithful are asking him to give up his day job.
A bit like they did with Norman.

i note that (fos)fred has selective reading or reporting, otherwise he would have noted that CBI and many business leaders believe that softening the current austerity programme would be nothing short of disastrous - seconded
