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.

Pub booze is too expensive, a lot of the young-uns are pissed from supermarket vodka before they ever get to the pub.

Just watching Nick Cleg on BBC 2...........what a wet letuce he is. So soft.

Im going to send Rachel Reeves a tweet and ask her to get in touch with Milly and make sure we never ever go into coalition with that cissy boy.

Better to go with the independants and UKIP if we have to.

Even the tories would be an alternative, daft that it sounds. So patheticly soft the lot of them and just like sheep. God get me a sick bucket. puke puke puke.

And theirs Vincy Boy in the audience clapping but ready with his dagger as soon as the speech is over. God help us.

Thats true Max, but you just dont serve them in the pub and stop entry on night club door.

Too many cop progs on TV now showing how coppers nab them on the streets when they are chucked out.

What was the bar staff doing serving them in the first place.

Like Hays says close some of them down make an example for others to be afraid of.

To do that properly, you would have to search them going in...for that small bottle of rocket fuel.

Fraught with problems.

Well most pubs and night clubs have a team of bouncers these days in fact a mate of mine says they have to be lisenced and do a cop course, and most are members of a national association.

Just wondering if its the bosses who are turning a blind eye fearing fall in trade.

am i actually meant to care one iota whether or not i am on findus+chips "naughty step"? ....... please advise

Referring to a comment by the welfare minister and former investment banker Lord Freud last year that “people who are poorer should be prepared to take the biggest risks – they’ve got least to lose”, Rowling wrote that it showed “a profound disconnect with people struggling to keep their heads above water”..........ends

PATHETIC.

And to think Cynic and Hillary support people like this idiotic out of touch Lord.

Both men should take a close look at themselves.

Hic,


I blam Cameron for get Manels dronk!


and Bliar for soking up the pobs.

fred - do your local pubs have bouncers? ..... i'm pretty sure ours don't even on a saturday night, though some of the less salubrious places in wycombe or even maidenhead may

Only go to a pub about 3 times a year and the with Stan.

As he is 6ft 4 and when fit about 16 stone, we don't have problems and he carries me home.

All in all a good night out.

Now watch for the stalker.

You called Fred -):

When I said pubs had bouncers i was meaning town centre pubs on a thurs fri sat evening, not the local just up the road.

Which idiot thought I meant local pubs?.........let me guess......his handle begins with C ......C for

Fred, Stan are you the chaps that set up the pie and a pint thread?.

Oh no the Pickler wants to come to my pub!

The Department for Communities and Local Government have confirmed that the DCLG Secretary of State, Eric Pickles, will be visiting The Ivy House, Nunhead.

Ohhh Minister with portfolio for dustbins.

Make sure youve got your wheely bins clean and off the pavement.

Better have loads of pies ready for him.

Pies for the Pickler sounds about right GF.

Was when he was in Bradford Stan.

Pork pies mate plenty of brown sauce.

Q: Why did God create alcohol?
A: So ugly people could get laid too

Shame.



Alex Salmond on course for defeat in independence referendum

Alex Salmond is on course for defeat in the independence referendum a year to the day before Scots go to the polls, according to a series of opinion polls and a damning analysis by his former policy guru.

Alex Bell, who until recently was in charge of writing the Scottish Government’s forthcoming White Paper on independence, said the First Minister was “wrong” for relying on “old songs and tired policies”.

He said the SNP has chosen to provide a “tactical answer” to the difficult questions around independence, in the hope of winning hearts, instead of a “profound assessment that will persuade minds”.

But Mr Bell, who stepped down as Mr Salmond’s special adviser in July, said there was little evidence in the opinion polls this strategy was working.

A slew of surveys published this morning to coincide with the year countdown to the September 18, 2014 referendum gave the pro-UK Better Together campaign commanding leads.

A YouGov poll commissioned by The Times showed more than half of Scots (52 per cent) wanted to remain part of the UK while 32 per cent backed independence.
