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.

Fred, if you are going to Portugal then check out Alvor, in the Algarve, it's a bit special, some great fish restaurants. jmop

DB.

Know the Algarve well.

Spent about 4 months a year there for four years.

Probably, if I decide to go will spend time at Tavira and Lagos as well as drifting around.

Just wondering if the Chicken Shack is still open at Almancil?

Not sure yet, trying to get enough energy to do so.

PS.

Also know Alvor when it was just a dusty fishing village.

A former Syrian forensic medicine expert has provided evidence that the Assad regime used chemical weapons, opposition forces say.

Abdeltawwab Shahrour, head of the forensic medicine committee in Aleppo, claims there was a chemical attack in Khan al-Assal, Aleppo, on March 19, said Istanbul-based opposition coalition spokeswoman Sarah Karkour.

Mr Shahrour, who has defected to Turkey, has documents proving the attack took place and eyewitness accounts from police authorities that contradicte the administration's version of events, a second opposition official said.

Both the government and rebels have blamed each other for what they say was an attack involving chemical weapons. More than two dozen people died.

Fred - Alvor isn't a dusty fishing village any more, sadly, but it still retains a lot of its charm despite that. There are still dusty fishing villages in Portugal, but they are becoming harder to find. Lovely country, lovely people and a great place to visit - if you can get away from the more popular tourist places favoured by beer-swilling Brits!

Once again Ed Miliband has laid an egg!

We did say, did we not ? :-))

Why does everything I do turn to sh*t?

Because you are.

"Both the government and rebels have blamed each other for what they say was an attack involving chemical weapons."


So who are they going to bomb?

It has for Cameron.


Cameron seems to have disappeared following shooting himself in the foot.

PM questions should be interesting to-morrow.

Ps/

Forgot we have an overgrown school boy acting as a clown for a PM.

I wonder when the tories will dump him, before or after the election.


Farage is laughing in his socks.

Miliband needs dumping.

Fred, Yes a pint is overdue, will let you get the Portugal trip arranged and then we can make arrangements.

BILL aka haystack......... your fav poll SUN........ conmen....

Now U were saying 3%................... sorry bud.

electionista ‏@electionista
UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 33%, LAB 40%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 12%

Labour lead 7%.

Oh dear.

Camoron IS FRIED.

That's back to the polling figures before Syria vote. So it has done no harm to Cameron. It is beginning to look like Miliband will come out worse over the stupid Labour vote.

H/S,

Are you having trouble sleeping?
