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.

It seems to be all to easy to flout the laws of this country these days and I suppose it doesn't help that we have some numbskull, overpaid footballers getting caught driving flash cars without tax or insurance, it sends out all the wrong messages to the young yobs.

Its all kicking off in court...........

Sefton Resources does not want you seeing this video

Wednesday 31 July 2013

Sefton Resources (SER) and I will be seeing each other in Court in just under three hours. But the company has today wasted more shareholders cash and contacted ADVFN asking that it remove the spoof Sefton downfall video arguing that it is a bit naughty... Ooooh er missus.

I have advised ADVFN to take it down. This is my battle. But I’d hate for you not to enjoy the video and so in case you missed it first time around. Here it is. As financial comedy goes it is pretty good IMHO. Almost as funny as the Sefton RNS 24 hours before its last placing when it said output had risen when in fact it had fallen.

Sefton...I do not think you understand this interwebby thing do you.

See you in Court at 2.30 PM bitchez!

Don't you love this country, which brain surgeon worked this out :-

Fuss about nothing. A speciality of gf.

skinny, at least this country isn't quite as bad as the USA - yet. People with all sorts of psychological problems run around with guns over there. I have two nieces living in that nuthouse of a country and it's worrying. Gun laws - what gun laws?

for years now stan .... hard to believe i know, but i used to be a really miserable and curmudgeonly sort of chap until i found that being jolly was more fun

Not if it makes you look like post 27702 :-))

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-23224826 these two should be strung, burt at the stake and ashes fed to pigs for what they've done.

Far better for the glass to be half-full than half-empty cynic and on that note I'm off to the fridge! Laithwaites have a very nice Sauvignon Blanc, Gooseberry Bush ( 11.5% alc) a very lovely, every day drinking, wine.

try a viognier for a change perhaps from oz .... those from southern rhone are generally too complex (and expensive) for everyday

You've lost me... Baffled.... I'll stick to Guiness I think

viognier, like sauvignon, is a grape variety and very different in character

The cheapest Viognier I can find on Laithwaites website is £8.99, Gooseberry Bush is £6.99 - I don't find it complex, it's quite light and refreshing, the only complaint I have is that it's far too drinkable!

sauvignon is, de facto, very light and tending to too great acidity
buy quality, not price!

Mugabe beats Tsvangirai in Zimbabwe election - ZANU-PF source

JOHANNESBURG | Thu Aug 1, 2013 8:03am BST
(Reuters) - A senior source in Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's party claimed a resounding victory in Wednesday's parliamentary and presidential election against Prime Minster Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

"We've taken this election. We've buried the MDC. We never had any doubt that we were going to win," the source, who could not be named, told Reuters by phone on Thursday.

Releasing results early in Zimbabwe is illegal, and police have said they will arrest anybody who makes premature claims about the result.

Consumer confidence in the UK jumps to 39-month high

Consumer confidence across the UK has risen to its highest level since April 2010, according to the latest GfK NOP Index.

The Index, which is carried out on behalf of the European Commission, had seen confidence jump from -27 in April and -22 in May to -21 in the past month (July 2013). These figures are a further rise from the -26 recorded across the entire first quarter of the year. In total, this is a marked improvement from the 2012 average of -29.

Industry analysts have suggested that this boost in confidence has come from consumers re-assessing economic forecasts and generally being more positive about where the future lies. Looking specifically at how individuals felt about the health of the UK economy, the outlook for the next 12 months increased by seven points and was actually an increase of 21 points when compared to July 2012.

The naming of business chiefs who have donated millions of pounds to the major political parties as new members of the House of Lords has provoked accusations that money is “polluting” Parliament.

The donors are included on a list of 30 new peers who will take the total membership of the Second Chamber to nearly 850 – the biggest number since it was reformed 14 years ago.

The swathe of appointments brings the number of people entitled to sit in the Lords to 838 (although 53 are currently absent), the largest figure since most hereditary peers were removed in 1999.

The new peers could cost the taxpayer about £1.2m, plus travel and other expenses, leaving Mr Cameron with awkward questions over his promise to cut the cost of politics.

Some of the new peers...!
1. Sir Anthony Bamford (Con) Veteran industrialist whose family is a long-standing, generous Tory supporter.

2. Danny Finkelstein (Con) Times columnist, below left, and old friend of George Osborne. A youthful supporter of the SDP.

3. John Horam (Con) Britain’s most travelled politician sat in the Commons for Labour, the SDP and finally the Tories.

4. Howard Leigh (Con) Chairman of the Leaders Group, a network for supporters requiring members to donate at least £50,000 a year.

5. Olly Grender (Lib Dem) First worked for the party in the 1980s and was Paddy Ashdown’s chief spin doctor. Has just stood down from a Downing Street stint.

6. Brian Paddick (Lib Dem) Former senior officer in the Metropolitan Police, above right, has twice been a candidate for London Mayor.

7. James Palumbo (Lib Dem) Friend of Nick Clegg and has lent his nightclub, free of charge, to the Lib Dems.

8. Sir William Haughey (Lab) Glaswegian businessman above right, who built a fortune in the refrigeration business. Has given more than £5m to charity.

9. Jon Mendelsohn (Lab) Chief fund-raiser for Labour who set up his own lobbying company with two party colleagues.

10. Jenny Jones (Green) One of their most prominent figures on the London Assembly for 13 years.
