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.

Oil!

.

Perhaps America is acting for the Saudis. The Saudis have been trying to bribe Russia with a oil deal and the Saudis have the oil America wants . Mind you America has a lot more in house oil now ie Texas and shale.

Frequently Asked Questions How much petroleum does the United States import and from where?

no skinny; for once i don't think oil per se is not the driving force ..... it's the danger of a very calamitous escalation of instability within the region of which oil is only part of the equation

and you'll all be glad to know, that's about the last you'll hear from me for another week as i'm off to france tomorrow for our cycling jolly

cycling and jolly! Hmmm a bit incongruous.

Has anybody ever seen persons on bicycles talking and laughing and looking jolly, like persons engaged in any other amusement? Never, I swear. Doubtless they can at a pinch, but in practice they don’t. All their attention is given up to the road and the machine. With set faces, eyes fixed before them, and an expression either anxious, irritable, or at best stony, they pedal away, looking neither to the right nor to the left, save for an instantaneous flash, and speaking not at all, except a word flung gasping over the shoulder at most. It is this strange and unhuman gravity which excites the ridicule and hostility of the street cad and of the dull-witted rustic alike. The enthusiast will indignantly deny the description, but I ask him to look at his fellow. Did ever pastime wear a mien so sombre? The bicyclist has reason, for let the attention wander for more than an instant, an the odds are heavy on a spill. The machine is so excessively crank;11 it cannot stand the slightest shock. To ride it safely entails a double strain—a general one on the nerves and a particular one on the balancing centre. The latter does not affect everybody, but I am certain that it affects some very seriously. People differ in balancing capacity as much as in an ear for music or a gift for speech; and it costs some riders real and constant effort to keep their equilibrium. They show it by suffering from headache at the back of the head, where the balancing centre is situated. The general strain on the nerves affects everybody, but some people “have no nerves,” and therefore do not suffer. The naturally timid and anxious feel it very acutely. Apprehension works their senses up to a high pitch of tension, and puts a severe nervous strain upon them. Then certain persons are specially susceptible to the work thrown upon the optic nerve by the rapid succession of impressions received when moving quickly. Hence the headache commonly caused by looking out of the window on a long journey—“sick headache” or migraine. That is exactly the sort of headache many bicyclists complain of.

I see the Parliament has rejected Cameron and his policies.

Perhaps, they have seen him in his true light.

He has been humiliated.

Now a decent person would resign his position.

=============

Camoron loses the vote as I predicted earlier today.

This they say on newsnight was one hell of a shock.

Where now for Camoron???.

Hes certainly lost a lot of power on this vote and the Theresa May support will be jumping in the aisles.

Fred

Don't be even more silly than usual.

Has Manuel run away?

Cruella for PM.

She will teach thm.

Total humiliation Fred.

He was shell shocked in his reply to Milliband on the closure of the debate.

The arrogant little man has been found out.

How on earth can the USA now have any confidence in him after all his promises to Ohbama.

A very close vote -The motion, calling for a strong humanitarian response which may have included military action, was defeated by 272 votes to 285 on Thursday night.

Shadow transport spokesman Jim Fitzpatrick resigned his position after saying he would vote against Mr Miliband's policy.

He quit after telling the Commons he was "opposed to military intervention in Syria, full stop".

A senior Labour source said: "Jim Fitzpatrick has tonight handed in his resignation as shadow transport spokesman."

Morning papers full of it. Camorons HUMILIATION.
