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.

Above post 20348 (chuckles) copied and reported. No need for that language when somone is losing a debate.

Just cut and paste my so-called "rant" gf. I can remember having a laugh about Milliband and Balls on some occasions, but who wouldn't. Hardly a "rant". No point in you posting comments on a forum if you can't back them up.

Absolutely right skinny, Scargill never called a national ballot. He was a jumped -up, Communist backed, militant, brainless idiot. The hard working miners deserved a better representative at that time and with one they would have managed to get their message across to a more sympathetic audience.

Cheers, Good reads, the bit below just shows what a waste of money it all was and how deceitful and devious Thatcher and the Tories where back then and properly still are.

The Tories later admitted that it cost nearly £6bn to win the dispute, which they saw as a political attempt to break the power of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM). In the ten years following the end of the strike, the continued war against the miners cost a further £26bn in redundancy and benefit payments, keeping pits mothballed and lost revenue from coal.

Like I said Goldfinger, the term 'twat' wasn't intended as an insult, just a view of how your sycophantic support of Scargil is coming across. On reflection I should have used the term 'twattish' but it's not in the dick and harry.

I have copied and reported your post 23050 to my cat as I don't think its very fair, I'm miles ahead in this debate. The cat just hissed, does't seem to rate your comments either.

The cost was worth it as the destructive power of the unions was broken. The closed shops, restrictive practices, secondary picketing, forced union subs, strikes without ballots were all stopped.

How many of Thatcher's laws were repealed by Blair/Brown? - NONE!

My cat didn't like them either. He just threw up!

Please fill in the Maggie survey.........

Goldfinger is sounding more more like Fred , and we all know what a joke he is.

He said we should email him to resolve any conflict , then he goes running to his pal's at moneyam when i started a Fred free talk to your self thread. and now he his reporting chuckles for abuse when clearly it wasn't anymore that is posted on this thread every day, why does he not report Tanker ?

aldwick........ read the thread header.

And yes I saw your earlier dig.

This past summer you were in effect stealing copyright/B Board generaly accepted proceedure. And what on earth makes you think Fred wouldnt have posted on your new thread?????.

I have not recieved an e-mail from you or anyone else for that matter.

Am I supposed to be telepathic!!!!!

And by the way tanker is not guilty of reposting squelched posts (as per chuckles) and nobody has reported any problems to me about him.

Stealing copyright!!!!!!

This gets more bizzare by the minute.

Posts on most forums become the copyrighted property of those forums according to the terms of usage.

There is little chance of a copyright case for the above as judges would tend to take the approach of "what harm was there".

We did have a penalty system very much the same as in football on this board in the early days. ie, 2 yellows and then a red and you were off. I think Ian handed them out.

In fact I received a yellow myself back in 2003.

I dont know that its ended??.

Since the market perked up at xmas we have had it appears more activity and on some threads more un-gentleman like behaviour.

Perhaphs thats what you would like to see the penalty system again?, why not approach management and ask for it?.

penalty system , copy right ? lol

I thought it was Simon Cawkwell [ E K ] who exposed Robert Maxwells accounting not you

I keep seeing posts about lying deceiving Tories, then some about lying deceiving Labour.
Funny how there are no posts re lying deceiving Lib Dems, obviously because they have not been in power in our life times, that is until now with the coalition.
These generalisation posts are rather pointless as if you can show me a politician who does not lie and deceive and I will show you a politician that has never and will never get into power.
The only difference is some lie and deceive more than others!

Politics lies and deceit go hand in hand!

"Politics lies and deceit go hand in hand!" in general yes.. but some more then others.

This bloke came across as an exception though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Bell

neatly put greek, though arguably a little cynically phrased!
