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.

no it was the one of them sitting in the pub

Listening to Ed Ballsup this morning, he sounds as if he has either been to anger management classes or sought the services of an image consultant. My guess is both!

having read bits and pieces of EB's offering, much of it could have been spouted by any party in opposition ..... it is virtually inevitable that they end up saying pretty much the same, including "Of course we've costed it properly and can be afforded" ..... and of course, as and when that party comes into power, it will immediately state, "Oh dear! We didn't realise the coffers were THAT empty, so many of those promises just cannot be fulfilled, or at least not for a few years yet"

You would prefer to listen to;

Or is that a Stalker?

Manuel,

and of course, as and when that party comes into power, it will immediately state, "Oh dear! We didn't realise the coffers were THAT empty,

Is that your expectancy of present group of economic incompetent incumbents of N10 and N11.

Actually think Ed Balls must have had a little coaching on his delivery of his speech.

Interesting, but HH2 seems a little out of touch. Should of talked about pruning the cost of it.

Triumph Herald covered 20 miles in 52 years

It is described as a "classic car with one careful lady owner".

But what makes this Triumph Herald so unusual is that it has covered just 20 miles since it rolled off the production line 52 years ago.

Still sporting its original 1961 £15 tax disc, the blue and white car was delivered to the buyer's home by trailer.

The Triumph is to be auctioned on Saturday by East Anglian Motor Auctions in Wymondham.

Hic,

I wondered where I parked it!

Cynic,

If you have time read this and the 3 short letters attached and you will see, amongst other things, why I think Osborne is mislead:

Buy-to-let is inflating a potentially calamitous bubble


Even your Hils was thinking along similar lines a few months back.

Egypt has announced banning all activities by Muslim Brotherhood and the confiscation of all its assets.

Some of the terrorist in Kenya were men dressed as veiled women to smuggle in grenades, weapons and ammunition. Maybe there is a case for banning the veil here.

fred - whichever party wins the next election will quickly find excuses as to why it can't perform to its promises "just yet"!

Or the hand grenade or hands.

Or anything anybody may use against us.

What are people paying for petrol. It is 135.9p here for unleaded.

134.9p is the cheapest I can find here at Sainsburys petrol stations, with double Nectar points.

Good point Hays. I believe its already been used to smuggle people out of the country to terrorist training camps.
