THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

There's another unsolved mystery, Bob,Bob,Bob Maxwell - was he pushed overboard or did he jump?

I thought gf also discovered America, was the first to walk on the moon and could run faster than a speeding bullet.

Cos your guilty!

Vicky Pryce guilty over Chris Huhne speeding points

The former wife of ex-cabinet minister Chris Huhne has been found guilty of perverting the course of justice by taking speeding points on his behalf.

Vicky Pryce, 60, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court of committing the offence over a speeding incident on the M11 in Essex in 2003.

She had denied the charge, saying Huhne had forced her to take the points.

how could she NOT be guilty, any more than him? ..... what a pair of total muppets! .... if they'd fronted up and said "mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" they'ld probably have got little more than a fine and a severe warning

I have just been completing the final bits & pieces for the estate of a friend who's wife had died and left all of her belongings to the surviving spouse. The new rules concerning inheritance tax (2007) state that you can now carry forward the first spouse's tax allowance to the second person's allowance, thus doubling the second person's threshold (certain rules apply). I just wondered what's to stop you living as a single person all of your life and to get married to an 18 year old nymphette on your death bed, thus having no tax to pay on your death and, assuming the totty lives to a grand old age, very little tax to pay ever?

Haystack - 07 Mar 2013 15:13 - 22160 of 81564

Serves her right for not keeping her mouth shut. It is quite common for a one of a couple to take the other's points. Her crime has been getting caught.

skinny - 07 Mar 2013 15:13 - 22161 of 81564

"get married to an 18 year old nymphette" - that bit might be a problem :-)

Haystack - 07 Mar 2013 15:14 - 22162 of 81564

The bit about the 18 year old nymphette sounds fine, forget the tax.

cynic - 07 Mar 2013 15:19 - 22163 of 81564

that would be your deathbed!

Very funny movie along these lines about a guy who dies on his wedding night - Private Benjamin.

cynic - 07 Mar 2013 15:36 - 22165 of 81564

watched that film yet again the other night ..... other silly fave is "dirty rotten scoundrels"

Haystack - 07 Mar 2013 16:04 - 22166 of 81564

When I met my wife I was about twice her age now many years later the gap has closed and I am just about 30% older. Might be time for a nymphette.

I remember Hefner dating a 21 year old and her saying, "I have never been out with anyone older than 23". He replied, "neither have I".

What about Caroline Flack with Harry Stiles about 12 months ago.

A bloke would be looked upon as a peodo.

Haystack - 07 Mar 2013 16:45 - 22168 of 81564

He was 17 and she was 32. what's wrong with that. He might have been almost 18 and that would be just 14 years difference.

I couldn't imagine my wife, another member of the family or any colleagues asking or expecting others to do the same, whether or not they thought they would get caught or not.

I suppose it depends down to what you value.

Referring back to Vince Cable remarks, thinks he is preparing for after the break up the coalition and pointing to the electorate that the failed policies were down to tory policies and not liberal actions and that his arguments were dismissed.

He doesn't want to be blamed for failure.

Can even see the Alexander deserting to the remnants of the tories at the time of the next election.

Fred1new - 07 Mar 2013 17:36 - 22171 of 81564

If a marriage contract had to renewed yearly, I wonder how many marriages would last more than a couple of years?

--------------------

A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?"

Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."

3 monkies - 07 Mar 2013 17:48 - 22172 of 81564

I wonder what the Mother would have said if the Little Boy had asked her!! mmmm.

Fred1new - 07 Mar 2013 18:14 - 22173 of 81564

A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds:

"Husband Wanted".

Next day she received a hundred letters.

They all said the same thing:
"You can have mine."
====================

or


First guy says, "My wife's an angel!"

Second guy remarks, "You're lucky, mine's still alive."

----------------------

Better stop in case my wife asks why I am still smiling.
