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.

sticky - it may just be the coincidence that much of the oil wealth lies in muslim countries - not that one has anything to do with other of course

btw, monthly bonuses do not really work for all sorts of good reasons ..... also, annual bonuses reward longer serving staff for their loyalty, though in fact we almost never lose any

Thanks Fred, cyners.

Wheres Hays today.......out on the sherberts?.

Just reading the usual drivel.

What's that the Sun or Times?

Been there!

I had to visit a company that was going into receivership to buy some assets. I took one of my directors with me.

We went to a country pub just outside Bradford for lunch with two staff members of the company. They were doing steak sandwiches. As two of us were southerners, we decided to go for the steak sandwich, which is always a good bet in the south.

I had a distant memory of something odd about northern steak sandwiches. Then it came to me. I said in a fairly loud voice to my fellow southerner, "I think they pour gravy over the sandwiches up here". She said, "my god, that's disgusting". While this was going on, one of the other two guys ordered 4 steak sandwiches. The girl behind the counter heard our discussion about the gravy.

On being asked for 4 steak sandwiches, she replied, "so it's 2 with gravy and 2 without then".

I have never had a steak sandwich with gravy on!!! I used to cater and steak sandwiches were on my menu, I would no more dream of putting gravy on than fly in the sky - onions yes, mustard yes, gravy no. Soggy bread, disgusting. Maybe that is a Yorkshire thing - no idea. Each and everyone to their own taste, mmmm!!!

So you do not have Branston pickle with your Sunday roast. :-))

Not nice to take a stroll along the beach and feel as though your in a foreign country!!

I personally do not like Branston pickle dc., I love roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with gravy obviously over the potatoes and veg., etc., accompanied with horseradish and English mustard but that is my taste. I suppose now that the Yorkshires will have to go out the window and the beautiful beef fat gravy. How life changed over night!!!

Lovely.. but not quite enough gravy on the left one.

What was it today then Hays, Gin or Whiskey.

Time you dried out bud.

just 8 mile walk in the hills followed by a couple of well-earned beers for me ..... some gentle Provence rose shortly however

A lot of discontent upset Unite members posting on twitter today complaining about Camerons child like antics in PMqs yesterday.

Watched it again and he was using unite for every question he answered .......pathetic.

not some militant union and its members getting a clogging by any chance?
shame, shame :-)

============

very surprised by the complete disinterest of members here on the much more important developments in egypt ...... never though this place was populated by so many lilliputians

lilliputians? you do come out with 'em, But on to the important stuff, What's the French version of Real Ale like over there assuming that you are drinking some quality stuff or is Real Ale not available there?

i'm afraid only rubbish like Kronenbourg ..... have to wait to get home for Rebellion and the like

It is a shame yes for the Tory party.

Most of them offended were female middle class Unite members from the civil sevice/ local government who just happen to vote Tory.

Really offended by his antics a lot saying they were going directly over to labour or UKIP.

I think Cameron and Giddeon owt to think on before opening their silly mouths and having a child like public school boy laugh on the front benches.

No doubt word has got back to our PM.

Will we see him using the same tactic again LOL..........hope not as hes shot himself in the foot.

all gibberish to me as i am away from Lilliput as you know :-)
