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.

Tanker,
Check the crime rate of Polish immigrants against that of the "indigenous" population.
Many consider the English as "bloody" invaders, have look at the crimes they have committed and commit everyday and all over the world.
Disgusting, no wonder the Scots want to escape.

Talking of liars:
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony,
That where there is error I may bring truth,
That where there is doubt I may bring faith,
That where there is despair I may bring hope,
That where there are shadows I may bring light,
That where there is sadness I may bring joy.. or words to that effect.

It is a prayer called the prayer of St Francis and there is no evidence that it is attributed to him. It only appear in the early 1900s. That version is 'I may'. Thatcher's 'may we' refers to her government and not a sort of royal we.

Nutty Nigel is at it again
Nigel Farage has insisted he would scrap the smoking ban and has pointed to Germany for support, claiming the country had realised how "silly and illiberal" the ban was.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the Ukip leader, who smokes himself, claimed the German solution of separating smoking and non-smoking areas would be Ukip's sop to the clean-living.
However slowly but surely Germany is bringing some of the toughest anti-smoking laws, despite having one the highest numbers of smokers in Europe.
On 1 May one of the strictest non-smoking laws comes into force in the North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state of Germany, with Cologne at its capital, which makes it illegal to smoke in separate rooms and smokers' club.
Both Bavaria and Saarland have imposed a total ban. There are different rules in different areas in Germany as the law is decided at state rather than federal level. However Germany is far from deciding banning smoking is "silly and illiberal."
Germany has had a ban on smoking in public buildings and transportation for five years, with the ban also applying to government agencies, courts, buses, trains and airplanes. Glass lungs filled with cigarette ends have also been installed in front of public buildings in Germany to encourage people to quit smoking. Smoking has been banned at Munich's Oktoberfest since 2011, although it was first brought in voluntarily, it is now enforced.
