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.

a minute survey x-section and conducted by an arguably biased charity, though some of the points raised are valid; but such are the inevitable problems when a country (world) is running through tough economic times and there is an ever-increasingly aged population

It's still really hot so I've grabbed some refreshments for Clegg, Osborne and the PM

"biased charity," Yes they are biased towards the aged.. as in the title -):

and will therefore slant its report to suit, just as a report on chocolate or red wine or cannabis, when sponsored by the "interested party", will emphasise the positives and minimise the negatives

We agree then.

FRACK the Tories.

FRACKING on Chris Carsons door step. Wouldnt suprise me if they dug up his bowling green and golf course. SHAME.

Not long before they go over the border mate.

If ever there was an oxymoron - Zimbabwean Election

can someone please tell me why there is such a strong (or is it media hype?) movement against fracking per se?

In this country, Water Course contamination and Earthquakes for starters.

imo, this is just the latest bandwagon on which the gullible public have jumped
protest about spoiling countryside, extra traffic, noise etc etc by all means, but i wonder how many of these local protesters have any proper understanding of fracking at all

"imo," Based on what exactly?

cynic - when you have free time, have a watch - Fracking: The New Energy Rush

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my water not to ignite near a naked flame!

"imo" based on the little i know about supplying kit for fracking in m/e, where ther process also involves hcl

"imo" because i am entitled to it, and also because the public are easily (mis)led

===========

many thanks skinny .... i'll try to have a look later
