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 - the altruistic ideal prevailed as long as there was a common cause (survival), but eventually and inevitably, as night follows day, human nature asserted itself

to pursue your comment further ....
what you perceive as greed another will indeed perceive as just reward
similarly, what you perceive as being careful with money, another will perceive as miserliness

Anyone for cats in the craddle?




Familair ?

it's a learned gesture, probably designed to convey sincerity and honesty

Doesn't work then! :-)

Why do people lie about their age?

British TV and radio host Nicholas Parsons says he has been covering up his real age for years. Why are some people reluctant to say how old they are, asks Kathryn Westcott.

Parsons, who is coming up to his 90th birthday, says that he was worried that disclosing his real age would make him unemployable.

Apple Maps flaw results in drivers crossing airport runway

An Alaskan airport has closed an aircraft access route because of a flaw with Apple's Maps app.

Fairbanks International Airport told a local newspaper that in the past three weeks two motorists had driven along the taxiway and across one of its runways.

Apple's app directs users along the taxiway but does not specifically tell them to drive on to the runway.

A spokesman for Apple was unable to provide comment.

Energy supplier could pull launch

A small new supplier planning to sell gas and electricity has warned that it could abandon the market as a result of Labour's plans to cap energy prices.

David Casale, who is planning to launch a not-for-profit energy business said, "If this looks anything like becoming policy in the UK we will pull out."

In pictures: Pakistan earthquake

After the quake, a small island appeared off the coast near the port of Gwadar, witnesses reported.

Another well thought out speech from Ed, the longer he stays leader the less likely Labour will form the next government.
He's more like Dick Ed, who was the energy minister who imposed the carbon cap, then laid into the gas and electricity companies for passing on the cost to consumers, that's right Dick Ed, where did he think the money was coming from?

Who had a prominent role in Brown's government which got us into this mess in the first place, that's right Dick Ed. Heaven help us if he ever actually gets to be in charge. It'll be back to the dark ages, literally.

UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 34%, LAB 39%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 10%
