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.

Fred hasn't got the same sense of humour as Arkwright - not that we know of anyway. Retiring now. Nite nite.

Sorry I got that wrong -

Night, night 3m

I seem to have woken you lot up, it must be time for the nurse to give you all another sedative each and tuck you in for the night.

As far as increasing taxation on the rich is concerned, as long as they are moderate, I would doubt that many would flee the country, after all who would want out of work unsuccessful bankers and the like.

Even in the States members of this group of individuals are becoming unemployable due to lack of needed skills and lack of jobs.

Let them go.

Where to? Europe is increasing regulations on tax evasions, and even Zurich joining in.

The states will get round to doing the same. They are considering Europe more important than the UK already.

Personal information is becoming more and more available to the tax man and everybody else.

Data bank’s on cash and its movements are becoming easier to access and trace.

Also, more people prepared to reveal the information.

The responses by some remind me of an owner of company, who in his office had on the wall opposite him when he sat at his desk, a little poster with the following words written on it:-

“Whoever thinks them self indispensable, should put their finger in a bowl of water and notice the hole it leaves when they take it out.”

He said that he read it to himself every morning when he sat at his desk. Also, he said that he asked anyone who sat opposite him and threatened to resign, or give notice, to turn round and read the notice, before they started negotiating.

I think many people in this country overvalue themselves and consider themselves to be far more important than they actually are.

But, that is just another’s opinion.

Dreams. Sleep tight, but try not to get up on the wrong side.

It is bad for you!

DC,

I like dreams and try to remember :
---------------

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Vietnam to ban short, fat traffic police in Hanoi

HANOI: Short, pot-bellied policemen will be banned from traffic duty in Vietnam's capital Hanoi and given office jobs in a bid to improve the force's public image, police said Wednesday.

Details of the new height and weight restrictions were not available but the head of Hanoi's traffic police said they were working on a list of cops who didn't measure up and would be redeployed out of sight.

North Korea says to exercise right to preemptive nuclear attack against U.S. - KCNA

SEOUL | Thu Mar 7, 2013 9:20am GMT
(Reuters) - North Korea threatened on Thursday to exercise its right to stage preemptive nuclear attack against anyone who attacks as Pyongyang ratcheted up its rhetoric against "hostile" countries as the United Nations readied new sanctions against it.

"Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest," the North's foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.

The North has accused Washington of using military drills in South Korea as a launchpad for a nuclear and conventional attack on it and has threatened to carry out more nuclear weapons tests in response to sanctions promoted by the U.S.

China backs stronger N Korea sanctions
skinny's post perhaps explains the above ...... china might well be an "enemy of the west", but it is also pragmatic and will not appreciate NK's potential destabilisation of the whole region, or in deed the world

Kenny Ball snuffs it.

This markets like watching paint dry. Do know if its just me but this increase in indicies doesnt seem to be coming down to my stocks.

Thought Id come up here for some excitement.
