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.

is it not slightly strange that there is a deafening silence from the labour party on the above .... surely gromit or the witch or some other from left/middle or other should be standing up and supporting bryant or condemning him - or indeed anything!

acer tell him to talk to the irish builders they had polish workers the work was terrible
and the homes are now being knocked down as unsafe to live in .
don't take my word check it out homes not fit to live in poor workmanship .

acer . german workers are excellent at all they do I find your statement worthless .
they would not want second class work done I WOULD NOT

acer - ignore the numpty's post(s) above, as 99% of us here do ..... of course your friend used polish labour BECAUSE they were much cheaper than local .... however, if you get the right polish crew and as i experienced on a development in london, they are indeed first class though certainly not the cheapest in that instance ..... it's worth noting "gastarbeiter" in germany also run into a lot of abuse and worse

is Poland a shit hole because of workmanship why are they doing all in their power to move from the dump .
why do they not try to make their country fit to live in
and yesi spoken to loads of polish girls and they do NOT want to go back
that is why they are having babies they do not want to go back to the shithouse

if you want to stay healthy cook your own food restaurants are dirty places
hundreds of people end up in hospital ever month .
some die . kitchens are full of germs keep clear of small restaurants run by families
as they tend to not wash their hands.
read more on internet

why don't you take an extended holiday to somewhere remote? .... you really are such a silly man

tell the poster above to open is eyes and read about dirty restaurants

I am warning good people about the bad places to eat .
cook your own food not food that is handled by people who are not going to eat the crap

That reminds be, it must be time for the Darwin Awards!!!


"Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it."

Dirty restaurants are to be shamed into cleaning up their kitchens under a ‘scores on the doors’ hygiene rating system launched today.

All food establishments, from restaurants and pubs to take-aways and supermarkets, will be expected to display a sticker giving a rating of 0 to 5.

A zero will carry an ‘Urgent improvement necessary’ warning on the black and green stickers.

no you're not .... you're just talking absolute rubbish as always, based almost solely on prejudice

genuine fact is that far and away the greatest source of food poisoning comes from the home

It is funny, but I have always had the impression that TANKER is an immigrant himself. It would at least explain his poor grasp of the English language.

Our waiters don't wipe down the menus between customers...

...or salt and pepper, or bottles of ketchup and mustard. It may come as no surprise to a germaphobe that restaurant kitchens are bacteria paradise. But bugs dwell on tabletop items too. Good Morning America sent a team of scientists to swab the items on the tables of 12 restaurants, including the items mentioned above. They found that menus carried the most germs, with an average count of 185,000 bacteria—nearly 16 times that of the second most germ-infested item, pepper shakers. (Everyone looks at the menu. Not everyone loves pepper.) Next time you're out, place your order. Then wash your hands before you eat.

Here is something for our older posters.

Cocoa 'might prevent memory decline'

Drinking cocoa every day may help older people keep their brains healthy, research suggests.
A study of 60 elderly people with no dementia found two cups of cocoa a day improved blood flow to the brain in those who had problems to start with.
Those participants whose blood flow improved also did better on memory tests at the end of the study, the journal Neurology reported.
Experts said more research was needed before conclusions could be drawn.
It is not the first time cocoa has been linked with vascular health and researchers believe that this is in part due to it being rich in flavanols, which are thought to have an important role.
In the latest study, researchers asked 60 people with an average age of 73 to drink two cups of cocoa a day - one group given high-flavanol cocoa and another a low-flavanol cocoa - and consume no other chocolate.
Blood flow
Ultrasound tests at the start of the study showed 17 of them had impaired blood flow to the brain.
There was no difference between those who drank flavanol-rich cocoa and those who had flavanol-poor cocoa.
But whichever drink they were given, 88% of those with impaired blood flow at the start of the study saw improvements in blood flow and some cognitive tests, compared with 37% of people whose blood flow was normal at the beginning of the study.
MRI scans in 24 participants found that people with impaired blood flow were also more likely to have tiny areas of brain damage.
"We're learning more about blood flow in the brain and its effect on thinking skills," said study author Dr Farzaneh Sorond a neurologist at Harvard Medical School.
"As different areas of the brain need more energy to complete their tasks, they also need greater blood flow. This relationship, called neurovascular coupling, may play an important role in diseases such as Alzheimer's."
The researchers said the lack of difference between the flavanol-rich and flavanol-poor cocoa could be because another component of the drink was having an effect or because only small amounts were needed.
Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said this was a small study but that it added to a wealth of evidence.
"A cocoa-based treatment would likely be very popular, but it's too soon to draw any conclusions about its effects.
"One drawback of this study is the lack of a control group for comparison, and we can't tell whether the results would have been different if the participants drank no cocoa at all."
But he added: "Poor vascular health is a known risk factor for dementia, and understanding more about the links between vascular problems and declining brain health could help the search for new treatments and preventions."

hay yes it was out last month

the uk GOV keep on about cutting out junk food and smoking drinking
surely the GOV should be WARNING the public about the dirty restaurants
and takeaways which is costing the NHS milions .and destroying peoples health

There are web sites where you can look up the hygiene rating given by councils to restaurants.
