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.

you should go fishing for hammour as you'ld then be in this region and warm! ...... lovely time of year

hi Cyners I wish I was there, Id take you for a beer....... perhaps a few beers even a good -iss up.

Forget the fishing yesterday was freezing. My bones are aching to the core and only caught a 4 inch roach all day and a bit of night.

Too cold for them to feed.

Anyone know exactly how much extra these corrupt tossers get payed for sitting on their fat back sides on these "so called" committees? Pontificating about the "bleeding obvious" rather then just governing effectually and responsibly for "all" and not "themselves" and "their mates"?

The chairman of a select committee gets an extra £14,728 per year.

Stan I dont think they get anything extra, I think its all covered in their salary. Perhaphs they might be able to claim extra travel expenses.

Good watching though on parliament channel or sometimes SKY .

I remember when John Mann labour MP absolutely destroyed Osbourne in a treasury select committee on budget cuts and the lowering of the 50% tax rate.

First class TV.

WOW Hays thats way over the top.

What about the others then??.

They have to work much longer hours, especially in the evening.

Was that a Freddie roach ? Did you watch the Groves fight , should the ref have stopped it.

Stan

You know your football , who was the first refferee to book a gaolkeeper in a World Cup match ? I knew him , he worked at same company in London has i did.

Bless their little hearts.

Probably sliding up and down the greasy pole buying drinks in the subsidise bar and dining room.

Groves reckons not, but people in the crowd who saw his face at that side of the ring said his eyes were spaced out, so that sounds to me like the ref was right.

Question alders anyone, name Englands sub during the world cup win in 1966, clue it wasnt Jimmy Greaves.

No he shouldn't have been stopped at that second he wasn't badly wobbled ,probably would have been beat in the next minute or so who knows ,but after the way he fought and kicked the crap out of Froch for most of the 8 rounds he should have been given every chance ,bad call by the ref at that second .. Would add though Froch was completely gone when he got up after the knockdown in the 1st and there would have been a better case for stopping him then ,problem was everyone knows he's a warrior and can come back from that , Groves wasn't given that chance .

Chris, thats factualy wrong. They didnt have subs in the World Cup until the one after in 1970 in Mexico, they reckon because of the humidity and heat.

Was a trick question.

I think thats showing the squads of both teams.

MK,

I am sure I can see Manuel and Hays in that image.

8-)

My advice to Bishop 22 is 2 keep his comments to South Africa, with their shanty towns , AID's and massive crime wave to deal with.

Desmond Tutu said Britain must recognise the 'opportunity' presented by immigration

Zero-hours workers are more likely to be happy with their work-life balance than other employees, new research has found.

The study from the Chartered Institute for Personnel Development comes amid mounting controversy over the widespread use of these deals, which offer employees no fixed hours of work or benefits from one week to the next.

Just over half of the 456 zero hours workers questioned by CIPD said they did not want more hours, with 38% saying they would. Four out of five said they were never penalised if they were unavailable for work. Workers on zero-hours contracts said they were just as happy as the average worker, and are happier with their work-life balance.

CIPD chief executive Peter Cheese said: "The use of zero-hours contracts in the UK economy has been underestimated, oversimplified and in some cases, unfairly demonised. Our research shows that the majority of people employed on these contracts are satisfied with their jobs.

Desmond's views should be ignored on all topics except discussions on how gullible you have to be to believe in extra terrestrial beings who are watching over us.
