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.

Talking of the Cohens, wheres the delightful Shirley hanging out these days?

Interesting.......

Goat is the reason Queen's Speech cannot be reaction to local elections. It's written on vellum. Ink takes 3 days to dry so written early!

Sir Alex Ferguson is going to retire at the end of the season

Sir Alex Ferguson will step down as Manchester United manager at the end of the season after 26 years in charge.

The Scot, 71, has won 38 trophies since taking over from Ron Atkinson on 6 November 1986, including this season's Premier League title.

His haul includes 13 titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and five League Cups.

"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about. It is the right time," Ferguson said.

"It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so.

Interesting move by Russia.

On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions AR e not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes.

Shocked to see Fergie retiring.

3 years left on the box at OT.

If we get that portugese little numpty I and the lads will be re- selling the box.

We dont want defensive football.

Hope Moyes gets the job, I know Sir Bobby favours him.

Skinny will you stop giving Manure Utd. unnecessary publicity on here -):.. Now where's Shirley?

Sat here on the canal bank in a state of shock. Didnt realise Fergie position was official until 10 mins ago.

Only got 10 cans of stella aswel in the keep net.

Not sure if that will bring me round.

Fergie's retirement must have come as a shock to all who work for him at Old Trafford. Poor Howard Webb.

It would be churlish not to ask - Fergie time: Does it really exist? :-)

Stan , shes here........

Sky Sports News‏@SkySportsNews27m

Sky Sports understands that Manchester United will announce their next managerial appointment in next 48 hours.

Got to be portugese wimp then surely.

End of an era.

Thanks G/F, Writing in The Spectator in 2006, author and journalist Leo McKinstry described her as "the high priestess of Tory sleaze"... Some Lady eh?

To be honest Stan hardly know anything about her. Ill take your word for it though with her being a tory.

I think its called "irony".

Wheres the grusome twosome today??.

Hiding in the queen's train.

Bye the way is Fergie married to a bloke called Andy?

Seen one, the other's probably on the Golf Course.. again! the skiving little Tory employer.
