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.

Doh!

Ed Miliband admits: We won’t reverse cuts if we win in 2015

In a speech to his party’s national policy forum about the “hard reality” a Labour government would face, Mr Miliband will say: “We won’t be able to promise now to reverse them because we can only do so when we can be absolutely crystal clear about where the money is coming from.”

Does the "Bullingdon" boy have any genes?

Morning Fred.

Talking of Bananas...........

One for cyners and his grammar. thlurrrrrrrrrrrrrrp.

Morning Fred. :-))

everyone has been berating the new "111" system, but my own experience just this morning was a really pleasant eye-opener

i brought back from dubai some sort of silly respiratory infection ..... as we are off on jolly hols next friday, it seemed sensible to get it checked out ...... very efficient 111 "receptionist" took a whole raft of necessary particulars nd told me a doc would phone me back ..... this he did within about 20 minutes and gave me an appt at 11:36 at wycombe general.

get there; appt on time; nothing of concern (as expected), so home again by end of first half.

Conclusion: Assuredly cynic has now been put down as an NHS time waster.. and quit rightly in my impartial view -):

i confess i did feel somewhat guilty as i was certain is wasn't any desperate .... but then 111 is defined as being for NON emergency ..... has we not been going on hol next week for sure I'ld have waited until monday for normal surgery hours

The best place to invest now is in the Philippines, even with the dice loaded againest foreigners and the amount of form filling.

The new President is going all out to attract oversea's investment . Its one of the fastest growing economys in Asia.

Tell the the truth Cynic, at your age, you were frightened you wouldn't make it over the weekend.

8-)

I see cynic has taken advantage of the great advances in medicine brought to you courtesy of the coalition.

if i was cynical, i'ld say i lust wanted to test out NHS which i pay for, but never seem to use

Cynic, I think anyone who spends time on 'planes these days picks up respiratory infections. The quality of air is appalling now and actually seemed to be much better when people were allowed to smoke during flights! Short haul flights are not quite so bad, but long haul flights are a nightmare, I always seem to pick up some sort of chest infection after a long haul flight.

nah! just very hot outside in dubai (40 or so), cold a/c and usual desert dust in the air .... don't worry; i shan't die just yet :-)

Miliband has said he won't borrow anymore and won't reverse cuts made. He doesn't want a referendum on Europe. Why exactly would anyone want to vote for him?

Fred's not going to vote for him

Fred do you think Jimmy Savile is guilty ? all the newspapers say he is and they got it wrong before REMEMBER

I think the Jimmy Saville you refer to is dead!

Why not ask him!

Ed’s U-turn


IS it a miracle? Has Ed Miliband finally woken up to the parlous state in which Labour left Britain?


After three years of opposing every Coalition cut, he now backs the lot.


Even the ones George Osborne is announcing next week.


It’s a welcome step towards some sort of credibility. But two big tests remain.


First, he must admit he and Ed Balls made calamitous mistakes with our finances in government.


Second, he must convince his MPs, his party and the unions bankrolling Labour that the Tories’ “wicked” cuts are in fact unavoidable.


Sorry, Ed. We can’t see you doing either.

I had a bottle of Cannoneau this evening in a restaurant. Do you know it? It is from Sardinia. It is 13% and some varieties are up to 15%. It is oaked for a year.
