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.

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!!!!

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

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

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.

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.

As I said before YouGov's Polks are online and attract activists. The polling population is self selected and not accurate.
