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.

It is not your hearing difficulties which are the problem, but your understanding of the information before you.
Vote green, the colour will suit you.

when (fos)fred's well-padded backside speaks, there is no question that it and its owner thinks all faults are the gov't's fault, whereas those with a gram of brain are fully aware that there are a great many unpredictables in both life and politics that create problems
and i see (fos)fred is now deciding to promote the idea that polls are an infallible predictor, which of course they cannot be, thought they may reflect a view of the moment - e.g. the great majority of the uk populace would currently like to opt out of EU .... that of course is a very far cry from believing that UKIP has an arsenal of electable and workable policies

This would be an interesting thread were it not for the incessant rambling posts by fred1new, who i think is perhaps the most deranged obnoxious poster on any forum I have visited. Ruins this thread and any other he appears on. You can understand the left wing nature of his posts when it is has mostly been the left which has supported his family of benefit scroungers through university. why would he ever want that luxury turned off for the next generation of the family? I think I was probably still at school the last time I witnessed anyone so puerile to take pleasure from distorting other poster's names. Shows a total lack of common respect. But what else should be expected?

chuckles - he's not particularly obnoxious, any more than he particularly believes even half of the left-wing (loony left some might say) views he promulgates from his cosy middle class residence .... indeed, you will note that he likes to wear "not voting ever" as a badge of honour .... tells you plenty, inter alia that he is merely "sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal"

Dreams,
I am beginning to understand your problems.
You seem to be developing Alzheimer's.
The picture you posted 22216 has already been posted early.

Shuckles.
Well said!
I see the polls are on your side.
Go God, even the Church of England is supporting your position now.
The Nasty party is now being renamed the soulless party.

cynic, i'll stick with obnoxious. I cant really understand why someone who is apparently universally disliked on this forum should continue posting on such a regular basis. I suppose it's a sad, desperate need to be heard by someone, attention seekers, who needs them?

Is that an image of a Golden Calf the torie voters pray to having been deluded into thinking they have found a cash cow
Shame, looks more like the cow is backfiring over you.
By the way, has Ashes return to the Cayman Isles?
Apparently, he doesn't think much of Cameron.
(Who Does?)
You don't have to answer that question.)
I do hope that he has paid “all his taxes” first.

Falklands votes in sovereignty referendum rejected by Argentina
STANLEY, Falkland Islands | Mon Mar 11, 2013 4:12am GMT
(Reuters) - Residents of the Falkland Islands started voting on Sunday in a sovereignty referendum that seeks to counter Argentina's increasingly assertive claim over the British-ruled territory.
Diplomatic tension between Britain and Argentina has flared up after more than three decades since they went to war over the South Atlantic archipelago, and that has unsettled some of the roughly 2,500 islanders.
With patriotic feelings running high, Falklands-born and long-term residents will cast ballots in the two-day referendum in which they will be asked whether they want to stay a British Overseas Territory.
Officials are expected to announce the result at about 8 p.m. (2300 GMT) after polls close on Monday.
An overwhelming "yes" vote is likely, prompting Argentina to dismiss the referendum as a meaningless publicity stunt.
A high turnout is expected, however, as islanders embrace it as a chance to make their voices heard.

There seems many who have been writing similarly.
Perhaps, you don't like it because you have backed a bunch of losers:

It seems that the subject of your cartoon rose above those around him and had quite a large following.
Interesting pick of cartoons.

Manuel,
Another interesting article, which may be to long for your span of concentration:
but supports your position,
"David Cameron may last even as he leads his MPs to their doom
Tory backbenchers fear a repeat of 1997 at the next election. But that doesn't mean any of them have the courage to act on it "
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/mar/10/david-cameron-backbenchers-fear-courage
It even has an image of the your dear leader, which you could print out as and icon.

Fred
The article in the New Yorker should appeal to you, as the writer is from the left and is a Keynsian believer plus he is a democrat. I have read two of his books and he spouts the Keynesian nonsense that requires further borrowing and spending when you are in debt. He complained in the article about Osborne using pre-krynsian economics. In reality it is post-keynsian economics, which came in when borrow and spend was found to be suicidal in times of recession.

There is no point in even reading the Guardian article. At least quote from a newspaper and not a left wing comic.

fred - at least i shall VOTE, unlike prigs like you ..... if the present crew get voted out, as today's polls would heavily indicate, then so be it .... but never forget that old truism - a week in politics is a very long time ...... you will no doubt remember that MT was the most unpopular PM of all time, and then along comes the FI conflict, and lo and behold, she goes from zero to hero o'night and is voted back in (with a landslide i think)
