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.

EU seeks to standardise the flush on lavatories
European Commission to unveil new EU rules setting a standard flush for lavatories
By Bruno Waterfield, Brussels
6:14PM GMT 29 Oct 2013
The European Union will next week unveil new rules to standardise the flush on lavatories despite the admission that there are "very significant variations" on flushing habits across Europe "including cultural aspects".
Plans for the harmonised euro-flush will be tabled by the European Commission as part of an "Ecolabel" acting as a gold standard for officially approved lavatories aimed at cutting water use.
Martin Callanan MEP, the leader of the Conservative bloc in the European Parliament and Tory spokesman on EU environment measures, condemned the proposals.
He accused the commission of breaking a promise made by its president José Manuel Barroso, in a Telegraph article last week, to cut red tape by not meddling in "small things".

The most likely conclusion of the Privy Council papers system is that the Guardian, Independent and others will ignore it. At some stage they will be hit with a very large fine and appeal to the EU court and win. That will leave the system in ruins and show that it is pointless.

I remember the debate we had at the time.
Well done to that young lady for sticking it out and proving I D S is nothing but a bully boy who blames the working classes for his fall down the Tory Ranks.

Yes Fred, Fat Dave was trying to win some much needed ground today after his last 4 apperances in PMQs, but sadly yet again failed miserably in fact at one point I thought he was going to blow up. Lynton Crosbys aggresive tactics are failing.
Milli is very crafty in that he is keeping the energy debate going, expect the polls to show labours lead stretching further this weekend.

Its beyond me that true Tories like Hays continue to defend him.
Cameron and Osbourne plus Id Smith are the Tories biggest liabilities.
Still time to get shot of them and get new leaders in before the election. Its the only way they stand a chance against labour now.

the one thing going strongly in the conservatives favour is the economy both worldwide and in the uk itself
i know fred likes to rubbish that, but he's obviously very out of touch while ensconced in his padded armchair
however, the chemical industry never lies
