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.

hays youve offended me, Im going to put your name on that new thread.

Hays only kidding LOL.

Be careful, if you lose you job at Fawlty Towers, with your obvious talents you would be unemployable.

Mind you could get increase your GSEs by getting a Economics for Idiots and with help read it slowly and then over a few years of cramming be given your little bit of paper.

I have to say I was disappointed with Cameron's tribute to Nelson Mandela in the House of Commons today, sometimes it would be better if he chucked his script writers out of the window and spoke from the heart.

In that case he'd have to get a transplant first.

I thought the BBC coverage was over the top , seem's i was not the only one.

AGREED.

Also, add a brain to the list of his transplants.

fawlty-one - i have been unemployable for years which is why i became a founder-director of a company

Probably, it would have been more appropriate for you to be part of the foundations.

Just met a kinsman of yours on the boat back from Paris.

He was very pleasant and his wife very beautiful.

Wished I had been a week younger.

======

Strange thing was that he was a moderate Jew from Israel, with the first name of Israel. But even better his wife was very intelligent.

Very enjoyable 2 hours.

======

Showed me his metal leg due to one of the Israeli wars and due to and Israeli misfire". Showed him my bits of metal and we wished we had a hat to put on the floor in front of us.

It is good to know some of you are human!

Nigel Farage: establishment and media are out to get us

Ukip leader makes warning as he defends councillor whose comments on immigration were, he says, 'taken out of context'

The Guardian, Monday 9 December 2013 19.13 GMT



Forget the daily garbage article, read the comments:

The monthly ICM poll for the Guardian is out tonight and has topline figures of CON 32%(+2), LAB 37%(-1), LDEM 12%(-1), UKIP 9%(-2). Changes are from ICM’s November poll

ICM finds 39% backing Dave/George to handle the economy best, compared with just 23% who side with Two Eds.

LOL, it still gives labour a 60 seat majority hays.

that's a broken drum sticky, and i very much doubt its (your) accuracy ..... we all know that % vote does not lead to the equivalent number of seats .... but hey ho, you guys keep handbagging away :-)

on BBC Breakfast this morning, a non-political analysis commented as below (but rather better!) .....

help to buy
not making much impact for first-time buyers as (i think) mortgages still remain tight

bubble?
nowhere near ..... in the last year still only 1m transactions vs average of 1.6m

house prices
rising at about 6% pa, partly due to the improved feel-good factor across the country, so those who have equity are much more inclined to start house-hunting

letting market
remaining strong and likely to stay that way as first time buyers still struggle badly to buy without parental or similar help

Unbelievable, and Hays says these assessments are fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More and more people are calling for ID Smiths head.

Dont forget it could be you Your family your relations your freinds who have to be assessed by this cruel organisation with a butcher as a minister guiding it.

Cyners if theirs no bubble why is Carney and as Carney already taken measures to reign in the governments help for mortgage lending?.

Is this the hazyone, manuel or somebody else?

sticky - there's somewhat conflicting evidence ...... on the one hand .....

house prices are rising at 6% pa; ergo a potential bubble i guess, though if more houses can be built, supply and demand start to equalise

on the other hand ....

it seems that mortgage money for real first time buyers remains tight unless they can use the bank of mum and dad for a decent deposit

in my opinion, the upper limit for help to buy is preposterous, and even for london suburbs, where prices are assuredly far higher than pretty much anywhere else, £450'ish will buy you something very respectable - but the borrower (+ partner?) would still need an income of about £100k to pass the other tests for affordability etc

as far as i can see, many would-be buyers have champagne aspirations and beer income .... if their sights were set at a more realistic level - e.g. a 1/2 bedroom flat perhaps in one of the less gentrified parts - then many more options appear
