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".

Another Bully boy attempt by Cameron a PMQs.

The lady is a charmer!

I suppose she is being used a shield for IDS or to toughen him up.

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.

Cameron needs another Rebecca or a bare Rupert.

'Hacking' was illegal! Send the guilty to jail & let the rest get on with their lives! The Press will rise like the phoenix from the ashes!

Not a spoof account either above.

Looks like call me dave is going for broke.

HS2, gay marriage, duffing up pensioners, lying through his teeth re €urope, zero hour contracts....to name but a few.

How does he expect to get re-elected?

So you assume that the "Con" Party do want to be elected then Max?

Is that the U-Turn party, or the ladies not for turning over party.

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.

They always want the power Stan, like moths to the flame.

But I see what you mean, they do like suicidal.

This constant lies he bleats every week about new jobs is losing him many voters. Everyone knows they are Mickey Mouse training positions. Everyone can see right through him 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

No its not, dont mix the economy up with voters living standards.

Its what someone has in their backpocket come voting day that counts.

Its fatal to do what your suggesting Sticky Cynic.

Latest poll.........

electionista‏@electionista28 Oct
UK - ComRes/Independent poll: CON 28%, LAB 36%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 12%

Tories under 30% now.

i wasn't sticky ..... a rise in living standards, and employment for that matter, will always lag behind the improving economy .... the reverse is also true

Cynic,

They said Thalidomide was safe.

3 years of misgovernment and where is the GDP NOW compared with 2008.

Measure rate of growth.

------

Also, as stated 2-3 years ago money should have been put into the infrastructure and cut backs should have been as a slower and THOUGHT OUT RATE.

The recovery can be seen to have occurred in spite of the government initial POLITICAL bent policies, but over the last 12 months they have been pouring money into roads, and other infra structure projects.

Hence the slow recovery.

The only thing is I think that the initial policies were politically motivated hoping to time recovery and "good feel climate" for before the next election, but I think their timing is wrong and they have blown it and at the same time harmed the UK in general.
