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 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.

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

cynic
How often are you in Central London?

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.

No, but cynic's I think.

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.

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

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

Will there be a CON/UKIP Government ?

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

Latest Poll

A majority still said they would prefer to have Mr Cameron than Mr Miliband in Downing Street, and the Prime Minister and Chancellor George Osborne retained their lead over Mr Miliband and Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls as the best team to manage the economy.

of course bill and ben would score better than wallace and gromit
