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.

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.

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.

Get some candles bought then George, Labour only need between 38% and 40%(confirmed on Newsnight last night) to have an overal majority in power and its looking that way, even the far right poll below has them on 39% the others will be far higher........
UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 34%, LAB 39%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 10%

Brussels does some totally appalling and profligate things
the trouble is, is that they are judge and jury in all things, an no outsider has any recourse
btw, everyone knows that (a) small section polls are unreliable and (b) the results presuppose that those numbers, come "the real thing", are repeated throughout the country - which they never are
