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.

certainly it would seem that certain russian oligarchs who may (or may not) own premiership football clubs have not had their finance sources questioned very hard ...... i'm not sure that the chinese and arab cliques are quite so umbrageous, shall we say :-)

this has to be totally moronic .....

1) move for minimum price of alcohol unit abandoned ..... admittedly it meant that the effect would have been much more draconian that i realised, so why was no homework done???? -DOH!

2) cameron rumoured to be going against everyone's advice by supplying arms to the syrian opposition (rebels) ..... has he learnt nothing at all from the iraq disaster????? - CLEARLY NOT!!

minimum pricing on alcohol would have no effect. Alcohol is far cheaper in several EU countries that do not have our problems. It is our booze and pub culture. Better to close pubs that serve drunk people.

Hays,

The Yes/No man.

Another U-turn.

How many now.

Cameron couldn't run a party in a brewery.

Perhaps, he needs what he used in the Bullingdon Club.

A good U turn, just tighten up the pub trade.

Cameron at the wheel with Ozzy on the brakes are burning their rubbers.

Poll tax, sorry bed room tax U-turns, members running to the hills, but as usual blaming everybody else.

Hear EU is going to have to revise their budgets.

Ummh!

After appointing him, is Cameron going to duck the Leveson inquiry's report?


How much public money has that wasted?

Saw Teresa smiling at PM questions.

At least, I think it was a smile. (Although it looked pretty gruesome.)

But Hays, you could send your buddy some of your better jokes, I am beginning to feel sorry for him.

Leveson was a waste of time sand money. There will be no legislation nor should there be. It was all a storm in a tea cup. Who really cares if a few messages were listened to belonging to the likes of Hugh Grant.

Perhaps, the McCanns care.

Perhaps, Christopher Jeffries cared.

Perhaps, Milly Dowler's parents care.

Etc.

Perhaps, the public care.

Perhaps, you wouldn't like the press raking through your private life and publicising any of the "good" bits.

I know, you punched keys for a living, but engage a little grey matter sometimes, or perhaps, modify your values by buying a few moderate newspapers to read rather than the Murdoch, or Barclay press.

Mind you, it was interesting to see Cameron cosying up with Rebecca and Murdoch to get a few votes and maybe more.

I can see why the tories don't want the Leveson's report to be implemented, I suppose representation of another morality when it suits their needs.

More and more humbug from the Humbug party.

--------

Why would Milly Dowler's parents care and the others? He was friends with Rebecca because her husband was a school chum.

I suppose it was "birds of a feather ride together", but they all seem to have left the nest.

The Milly Dowler thing was a complete nonsense. The fact that the NOW played her messages was not known until after the case. The reports that the NOW may have deleted her messages was shown to be nonsense. The police said later that the messages just automatically deleted themselves due to expiring. Playing back messages is not any more important than overhearing someone's conversation in say a restaurant.

A puff of white smoke. ;-))

Is that the cardinals burning a witch for a bit of entertainment?

Any me nutw now!


A black popec?

A female pope?

Looks like a South American pope.

A Jesuit pope!
