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 wonder how many company secrets were "spied on" on the grounds of "keeping us safe from terrorism".

Manuel, they might have been examining your menus!

Its a bit like those old London buses years ago, you wait hours for one to come along, and then comes five

what makes you think this?

"Interesting the chairman of the committee enquiring into M15 etc, was one of their own"

DYOH!

As usual you are talking out of your arse - something we have come to expect.

The only thing wrong with the pic that Mili is so far in the pocket as to be almost invisible (together with the rest of the Labour MPs)

Hays.

The relationship of the Unions and the labour party seems to worry the con party more than labour MPs in general and seems to me like a large family with occasional delinquent offspring.

Also, relate back to the buying of marginal seats by pre-election canvassing and printed propaganda funded by non-residents. (I wonder what the results would have been without that funding.)

But I forget the present con party is a party of innocents.

By the way when is Limy sorry Liam, coming back into the party fold.

I think the real distaste of the public, is to have the con party manipulated like puppets from the Cayman Isles and consultations through Andy and Rebecca pillow talks with Rupert Bear.

There is a peculiar miasma around present British politics.

That news article on Councils raising Council Tax will cause most concern for Osbourne as it stated most of the councils planning to put up C Tax were Tory Councils.!!!!!!!.

Dont know why, just heard it half asleep.

Perhaphs they have starved resources so much that they cant even provide sand and grit for the roads this winter.

Certainly Giddeon may be looking at this in a months time at the autunm statement.

In fact I dare bet spending will go up.

Certainly no money savings on Benefits in fact looks like £450 million to be written off. I D Smith and Ester from Liverpool !!should get the chop, that dept as gone all wrong since Greyson left it and he was certainly a bit thick.

Good News for Portsmouth as 20 more Food Banks open #votetory

Why dont all these redundant ship builders go and shoot badgers, or pick up litter in the High Street, do something useful #bigsociety

I feel so sorry for the 1,700 ship workers, who the Tories will Tar as 1,700 Shirkers, Skivers and Benefit Scroungers within 6 months

Three-quarters of town halls planning to hike council tax by up to 5% next year after long freeze leaves services struggling

Government says Council Tax freeze has meant real terms cut of 10%
Ministers claim Council Tax rises will pay for administration not services
But councils say demand on services has risen significantly

GF,

I didn't want to make Hays blush by saying it was a tory rush to get back handers from the the government. (Would have been unfair, picking on him at his time of life.)

The tories are squandering tax payers money as if it doesn't belong to them.

But at the same time they are Hard Working and not work shy dodgers.

They can always send Esther to sort the latter outl


She seems a lovely lady:

Somehow Fred I dont think she'l get re-elected in Liverpool next time being part of the DWP team. (silly move for her)

Scousers love their giros woe be tide if anyone takes them off them.

phew! .... thank goodness i missed the afternoon sewage rush and played golf instead

do you mean verbal sewage ? or are you playing golf in a poor third world country

Malaysia would have been quite nice, and assuredly Thailand would have been

I'm afraid Fred's fundamental contributions are perpetually blood coloured, and thus not only tiresome, but worth a detour ..... bit like Village Idiot's in their own way

Cynic - I've just been watching the golf on Sky from Turkey - No1 spitter on the golf course ie. Tiger Woods is playing, but thankfully No2, No3, & No4 spitters are not playing. It's about time the PGA Tour and the European Tour started addressing this disgusting habit. What kind of message is this sending out to our young players just taking up the game of golf?

In case you haven't noticed the Mighty Micro thread (Derek Lambert). He died yesterday.

I remember standing next to him a few years ago when we both signed the Official Secrets Act. A great character. It was his company that built the MoneyAm web site and tools.

He was one of the founders of the computer industry across the world. His software was used to write the first ever browser for instance.

If you look at this customer list you can see the sphere of influence of Mighty Micro
