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.

Its a lovely day Fred, go and get some sun or mow the grass. :-))

Ah! wonderful wonder how much it would cost to get three of them..... hahaha!

Scargill tried three times to get a vote in favour of a strike and the vote vote failed each time. He then called a strike without a vote effectively ruining many people's lives in the long drawn out dispute. He refused calls for votes to end the strike from miners who wanted to go back to work. The Conservative government has freed us from evil people like Scargill. No wonder Labour has never repealed even one of Mrs T's laws. All Thatcher did was bring democracy to the unions. A similar attitude to that of Scargill still exists in the person of Bob Crowe and a few other union leaders.

Totally agree.

Hays,

Like Cameron and his crew you are living in the past, rather than learning from.

Your blinkered visions, don't seem to coincide with reality, which is perhaps your problem.

The days of gun boats and "up and at them" politics are gradually diminishing.

But, even in those days it was "Tommy this and Tommy that" led by the stupid and the bills paid by the poorer of society, in "deaths" and "social" conditions.

I will be interested in the results of the local elections, which I think is the reason for Cameron's latest squalid attempt to gains support, by the parading the remnants of Maggie for her last public event.

The only problem for Cameron is that it is reminding the public of the extremes of the Nasty Party's viciousness and the failed policies.

Also, drawing attention to their present policy failures.

I await the next General Election and the back lash which may occur.

I can see the rush of the tory "elite" to the Cayman Isles to regroup around Aschcroft, the present puppet master of the your party.

Party at the Cardiff City Stadium Tuesday evening , anyone else going ?

Full Communism Now

fred - at times you're as blinkered an ass as your m8s MrT and sticky, or hays in the opposing camp .... and boring and repetitive as you are, i shall be equally boring and repetitive by stating that people like you who don't vote, deserve the gov't that you get .... to then complain incessantly about pretty much every single thing that that gov't does is surely verging on the hycrotical

at least hays votes!

================

hays - much more interestingly, back to golf rules ..... the argument runs that tiger (knowingly) signed for a wrong score, and thus disqualification is (or should be) manadatory

cynic
I am not condoning the Tiger decision. I was merely identifying the basis of the decision that they claim to have used. The rule does mean that any offence that would require disqualifying can be overruled by the committee.

From the official rules of golf

33-7. Disqualification Penalty; Committee Discretion
A penalty of disqualification may in exceptional individual cases be waived, modified or imposed if the Committee considers such action warranted.

means and ends comes to mind! .... not one of the rules committee's most glorious moments

Cynic.

If you don't like my postings, don't read them and then you won't feel any need to reply.

Have a better day!

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE COLOUR BLIND?

Take the Ishihara colour blind test

I am colour blind and my son is as well.

Dil.

The last party I attended in Cardiff, was when Wales trounced England.

Wales 30-3 England, 16 Mar 2013.

Looked so easy!

I think they are building a library to commemorate the victory.

Mind in England they are closing them.


8-)

Fred
I remember when we closed the mines in Wales

Looked so easy! (and it was)

And they ARE building a library to commemorate Thatcher

I did say blinkered, but does the colour blue stand out to you?

Or has Cameron's attempt at going green caused a problem?

How much did he pay for the logo designed by a 6 year old.

Another sham which is backfiring!

Hays,

Is that to replace the ones they are closing.

The councils are closing the libraries.

The actual figure is less than 60 libraries actually closed. That continues a trend already existing under Labour. Visits to libraries have been declining due to e-books, internet etc anyway.

If the latter is so, the tories could have stopped them. With future cut backs in education "expenses", they will be needed more and more.

Which councils are closing the most libraries, Tory, Lib Dem, or Labour?

-----------

Probably Labour councils. Conservative ones are run better.

In 2012 there were 41 libraries closed by Labour councils, 14 closed by Conservative. There were 40 new libraries opened.
