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.

TPTB ? who or what are they

The Powers That Be.

With reference to my post 29795, it appears I was mistaken - its was the just the former!


Ed Balls Mocks David Cameron For 'Surprisingly Small' Beach Towel

Ed Balls has shown his political machismo as he subjected Prime Minister David Cameron to withering mockery for not needing much to preserve his modesty while changing on the beach.

Speaking to the Labour Party conference this afternoon, Balls told Labour members of his surprise when his wife, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, said Cameron looked "slim" when he was photographed holidaying in Cornwall.

Referring to the photo of the PM papped changing while wearing a Mickey Mouse towel, Balls quipped: "I just thought for a Prime Minister, it was a surprisingly small towel."

A Tory source told HuffPostUK the quip was "puerile and immature", adding: "When that's all Mr Balls has to say, we know it's because he hasn't got any policies and can't be trusted on the economy."

Quakers were a breakaway group of prostetants who went around the country converting people. Their leader said' "tremble at the word of the Lord". Hence they are called the Quakers.

When did they get their oats?

Buddhism is not strictly a religion.

Religions like to control their followers by various rules.

Some Quakers were put in prison for blasphemy. I suppose you could call it porridge.

I guess from him!

Cynic.

I would think you are an expert on Crap.

A fake Apple advert claiming the new iOS 7 software makes iPhones and iPads waterproof has apparently fooled some users into destroying their devices.

The "advert" circulating on social media sites claims that updating devices with the operating system installs a "smart switch" that cuts off the phone's power supply when water is detected.

This, it claims, "prevents any damage to your iPhone's delicate circuitry".

The advert looks remarkably similar to an authentic Apple advertisement, with the same plain white background and minimalist font and style.

It seems some users have been fooled into dunking their expensive gadgets into water to test out the promised feature, only to render their devices useless.

No shortage of dickheads.

A reporter asked a Kenyian officer if he will forgive the terrorists. He replied that God forgives, he just arranges the meeting.

fred - i sure am when i read it ..... i will accept that the word was perhaps a little harsh, but it succinctly summed up the preposterous utopian vision that you seem to hold

hays - wrong attribution ..... i'ld need to check, but it was probably someone like Stormin' Norman

It was attributed to him but I don't think ever corroborated.

Fred - is that statement a symptom of your dyslexia, do you mean -
