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.

FFS, trust Haystack to start a bloody war!

The point I was making (post 30525) ..... I am certain that IF (massive if at moment) the Conservatives were to win with a clear majority, repealing the hunting ban would not be an immediate priority. Agreed? Next!

It is a scientific decision. I am convinced by the evidence that I have seen to think that testing culling in a controlled environment is worthwhile. Badgers are very attractive and this is always an important factor in their support. Baby seals etc evoke that same ooos and aaas but need culling also. If people were presented with an ugly animal that needed culling such as malaria fleas then there would be less fuss. We don,'t mind eating cows, but dogs are a step too far. It is a cultural thing. It may be that badgers would appear to be ugly to some population and they would be pleased to cull them.

I am sure repealing the hunting act would not be a priority, but hopefully they would get around to it at least in their second term. There are are far more pressing problems such as more austerity.

The tories should like rats.

Think how many there are in the con party.

You are talking rubbish.

Poisoning can be relative humane compare with dogs chasing down and tearing a fox apart.

Unless of course that is your Sunday morning enjoyment.

DYOH homework and look at the efficacy of various methods killing vermin.

As I said correct methods of Food and Waste disposable would reduce the amount of vermin.

Not feeding or feeding gardent birds appropriately would reduce rats and mice for starters.

Whatever. My immediate concern on a friday night is whether Citeh will stuff Everton tomorrow and how I'm going to play the new winter course down the Links. Or whether to just go the pub (don't have BT Sport) to watch the match and sack the golf :O)

poisoning foxes would also poison a multitude of other wildlife + dogs and cats and goodness what else .... any more sensible suggestions to come from you?

I saw that story. It just shows what a reputation the UK has as a soft touch.

More votes for UKIP

Cynic,

In passing.

"classist" remark.

I thought many members involved with this form of barbaric sport from even the lowest stratosphere of country society.

Are you suffering from introjection due to exposure.

I was being descriptive of its supporters and many would agree with me.

I hope!

For Hays and Cynic.

for once, it's rather witty, though it can be applied to all strata of society across all countries throughout the world as well you know

given the implied corporal punishment of the cartoon, perhaps it was written for Saudi or the Indian sub-continent or a number of other regions where such is still permitted - even for husbands to inflict on their wives

Who makes the software that drives cloud computing, is it many or one? micro chips ect this could make the readers of talk to youreselve a lot of money ends

Labour still on course for an overall majority. Up 2% from last week.

We will hit the like of Haystack very hard us SOCIALISTS instead of foxes we'l have Haystack drenched in a foxy smell and give him a 30 min start and then set the hunt off.

If the dogs dont get his ass the big gay huntsmen on the horses surely will.

(ps, nothing against gays)

Cynic,

Is this more to your liking?

According to new research from job site, Foosle.com, the most important things employers look for in potential employees happen before they even speak.

The research, carried out by YouGov, revealed that the top four things selected by employers as most likely to create a good impression are punctuality (68%), dressing smartly or appropriately (52%), making good eye contact with the interviewer (51%) and appearing tidy and well groomed (33%).

YouGov revealed that it polled over 500 employers and 2,000 UK adults, and questioned employers about the worst things candidates have ever done in interviews. A number of employers reported disastrous errors such as using foul language, badmouthing former employers, calling the interviewer ‘mate’, being unprepared, and lying about their experience without being able to back it up.

It was also revealed that employers have been offended by potential employees who were chewing gum and taking calls on their mobile phone during an interview.

When asked, ‘what was the single worst thing a candidate had ever done in a job interview’, one employer responded by saying, “brought a glass of beer into an interview, which was held in a hotel”, while another said, “a candidate asked if they could come in an hour later as they were getting their nails done”.

Is this support for the Right winged rag.
