THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

I use my free travel pass all the time. I am about to use it for bus and tube.

I hope as a member of we are all in it together you put your cost of fares into the “we are all in it together charity box”.

But somehow I doubt it.

I couldn't agree more, we are all bearing the cost of Labour's spending.
=========
Do you mean labour had to pay for the Con party purloining of the Nations Silver and avoiding repairing the infrastructure, while at the same time paying tax benefits to the idle rich on holidays in the Cayman Isles.
Again this bunch of Etonian school boys repeat their stupidity and are strangling the economy.
Due to the incompetence, banks aren’t lending, businesses can’t borrow and the businesses with money aren’t investing.

They don’t trust this disastrous government
-----------------------------------
With the rate of U-turns this government are making don’t have a coronary to-night, as there may not be an A and E or an ambulance for you.

PS. I know the U-turn which Cameron made yesterday, but haven’t read to-day’s yet.

None of Cameron's U turns can compare to the 'road to Damascus conversion' that the two Eds have made over welfare reforms and cap. The only proper comparison to be made is that St Paul was a well known con man leading up to his revelation. It seems likely that his conversion was a lie to get elected. No, oops, I meant to spread Christianity. Paul was known up to that point as 'Paul the liar'.

I am in a cafe, but about to use my free travel to get home. I deserve it because of all the tax I have paid personaly and as an employer that my staff have paid. In total it comes to well into 8 figures.

I only got my bus pass last year purely out of devilment - not used it yet so may give it a go before it is too late. As I am restricted in walking I found the tokens which were taken away from us more user friendly i.e. taxis. Will certainly endevour to hobble on a bus and try to enjoy the gerky ride. Ha Ha! No comments from the back benchers please!!!!

cynic - 06 Jun 2013 19:36 - 25811 of 81564

as i don't live in london, i am not even sure if i'm entitled to a free bus pass - not that it would do me much good, nor for the matter, free tube pass which i think one also gets as an OAP

Haystack - 06 Jun 2013 19:44 - 25812 of 81564

Your London borough pays for it, so I guess you wouldn't get one.

cynic - 06 Jun 2013 21:14 - 25813 of 81564

glad i was in front of the screen while watching espn rugby .... phew! that could have been very hairy scary .... as it is, i managed to bounce in and out and am now in with small longs both dow and ftse and both in the money, so i'll keep my fingers x'ed and leave them open o'night

How often are you in Central London?

Haystack - 06 Jun 2013 21:26 - 25815 of 81564

There is a very odd cafe called the Rapha Cycle Club. It is at 85 Brewer St. They play cycling videos or live cycle racing on a big screen. You can take your cycle in and there are virtical racks at the back to put it on.

Bikes? not one of your interests are they H/S?

cynic - 06 Jun 2013 21:46 - 25817 of 81564

dreamcatcher - 06 Jun 2013 21:48 - 25818 of 81564

post 25805, made my day. :-))

Haystack - 06 Jun 2013 22:26 - 25819 of 81564

No, but cynic's I think.

cynic - 07 Jun 2013 07:01 - 25820 of 81564

there was certainly plenty on the hoof ..... warm sunshine sure brings them all out on the street

skinny - 07 Jun 2013 08:34 - 25821 of 81564

Mervyn King is on Desert island discs this morning.

Stan - 07 Jun 2013 08:55 - 25822 of 81564

But he was there last Sunday.. still not been rescued then -):

goldfinger - 07 Jun 2013 09:05 - 25823 of 81564

hays..... poll taken 4 hours after ed Millibands speech on welfare.......

electionista ‏@electionista 6 Jun

UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 30%, LAB 39%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 14%

Labour up to a 9% lead on Tories +1%.

Looks like your theory is already backfiring.

skinny - 07 Jun 2013 09:06 - 25824 of 81564

Stan - I listen (on now) on Fridays :-)

cynic - 07 Jun 2013 09:19 - 25825 of 81564

leave poor old hays alone, though i must confess he does take the bait every time .... you're a bad lad!

aldwickk - 07 Jun 2013 09:47 - 25826 of 81564

Will there be a CON/UKIP Government ?
