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.

what the fuck have sprinters taking drugs got to do with the diarrhea about restaurants being the major source of food poisoning?

separately
if restaurants did generally only mark up wines by 100%, i wouldn't gripe but i think 3x is pretty much the norm and in some establishments 4x, which is a disgrace

I can the restaurants in the 70s. with "bring your own wine" and corkage of 50 p or £1.
A number of French run restaurants introduced food to Brum.
One was delighted when we brought a couple of cases in.

there are still BYOG restaurants around, though not that many
licensing laws over here may also make such an arrangement quite tricky

Guardian/ICM poll this evening. Cons draw level to Lab, 36% each! Looks like the toffs haven't lost their sense of timing.

Tories level with Labour, Guardian poll shows. Get the full results
The Conservatives are level with Labour for the first time since March 2012.
The Conservatives have erased a seven percentage point deficit to Labour over the last month and David Cameron's party is now level with Ed Miliband's, with a 36% share of voting intentions.
Labour's share was unchanged, while the Tories appear to have benefited from Ukip's continued slide. Nigel Farage's party has slipped from an 18% share in May to 12% in June and now 7%.
Labour had led the Conservatives by at least five percentage points since March 2012, at which point the Tories were leading by three points.
The poll also found an overwhelming acceptance (65% of respondents) that the deficit cannot be cut without raising taxes, and that MPs' salaries – rather than being increased – are already too high.
"The fall in the Ukip share of the vote may reflect both the recent comparative decline in publicity for the party's leader, Nigel Farage, as well as Downing Street's persistent efforts to neutralise Ukip's appeal by countering with a series of strong messages on immigration, welfare and a referendum on UK membership of the European Union.
It may also suggest that Ukip support is in part a protest vote exercised in relatively unimportant local elections, and that this support dissipates once the protest has been registered."

Now why would the Guardian fix the figures in favour of the Conservatives?
A left wing paper showing Lab and Con level pegging and UKIP disappearing. Looks like a Conservative majority.

Two Things to Note From Today’s Guardian/ICM Poll
Labour and the Tories are neck and neck with UKIP trailing off in this morning’s ICM poll for the Guardian. Though as Mike Smithson explains ICM was the pollster most out with UKIP at the 2009 Euros, where it undershot their result by 6.5% and had them in fourth place when they came second. Also worth taking into account that at the weekend Survation had UKIP on 20%, Opinium on 19% and ComRes on 18%. G.

Sometimes, I think Hays needs to go home to a good thrasher to put him back in order.
