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.

McDonald's horse visit in Whitefield: Woman fined

A woman has been fined for taking her horse into a McDonald's restaurant in Greater Manchester.

Police said the woman, who has not been named, was in the saddle when she was initially turned away from the drive-through kiosk on Bury New Road.

The woman then led the animal inside, where it "ended up doing his business on the floor", a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesman said.

it would match the shit they serve

This is what you get with a left wing government

Pew Research has recently published a report showing that the French are amongst the most pessimistic about their country's future with only 9% believing that their children will have a higher standard of living than their parents. The general concerns of the French about high unemployment and debt are more comparable with the attitudes of people in Greece, Spain and Italy, than the optimistic Northern European nations of Britain and Germany.

France's political institutions seem paralysed by the challenge of reform, with the left still believing that they can redistribute wealth that the country no longer creates. Former president, Nicolas Sarkozy has recently lamented that France appears to be the only country which is 'afraid of progress'.

His pessimism is shared by some of France's business leaders. Maurice Levy, the head of the Publicis communications network has complained that the county's economy is 'cumbersome, with archaic and incomprehensible administrative structures piled on top of one another.'

The French actor, Gérard Depardieu left France because of its high personal taxes, telling the prime minister in a letter that 'I'm leaving because you think success, creation, talent and anything different should be punished.'

hay in the uk it would be less around 5% the working class are over paid
