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.

I was in bed with my new Girlfriend last night, and she said I‘d got the biggest dick she’d ever laid her hands on, I said, “You’re pulling my leg”

Just got back from my mates funeral , he died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball . It was a lovely service.

The latest posts just go to prove that despite gf's silly nonsense about supposedly having some posters squelched ----------------! Prize twit as I just said.:-)

Ryan Giggs today admitted to suffering from homesickness, saying that even though he's happy in Manchester he does Miss Wales occasionally.

My Grandads last words were "you selfish boy!"... I respected his wishes and became a fishmonger soon after.

Common sense is like deodorant, the people who need it most rarely have it.

I went to the doctor, and told him, "I think I might be addicted to twitter", he said, "sorry I don't follow you"

Apologies doodlebug4, I'm being hounded by a certain poster and I'm not having it.

Thank you dreamcatcher, I appreciate that but you don't need to apologise.

Twitter thread for twits lol, who will be the first to post ?

Not me. :-)) Will anyone be the first lol.

Anyone taking any bets here? David Breith, the CEO of COMS, is 4/1 and I will award a bunch of bananas - sorry not an ipad - to the winner.

I notice a couple of the company ceo's I'm invested with post on there. Must admit I don't like it . News is for all investors and in my opinion should be posted by the correct procedures ie RNS etc. A lot of it is small talk as to say, just does not seem to me to be professional. I suppose a bit school like.

A list of every major price rise on life's essentials to occur under David Cameron

Wages have grown at an average of 1.5% a year for the last 3 years, and wages have grown by 6% since the Tories came to power. The reason you have not felt the benefits of these pay rises (or freezes as I recognise for many of you) is that prices have been rising much quicker than wages. Below I detail 8 key sectors of the economy that are essential to our survival. I'm not interested in the rising costs of luxury items, or the profits companies wish to make from things we do not need, the focus of this research is on the items we need to survive. Food, Water, Shelter, Heat, Electricity, Rail, Bus, Stamps are the day to day basics we all rely upon to conduct our daily business, such as traveling to work. Prices in these areas have been sky rocketing far and above wages for the last 304 years and perhaps longer. If you wish to explore the evidence I based my calculations upon then please see the hyper links that you can click on in brackets after each item on the list.

1.Stamps 46%-56% (evidence here).
2.Electricity 22-39% (evidence here).
