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.

Cheers Max. Nice to have some one on your side.
Dont forget Im a capitalist by nature but believe in responsible capitalism.
The present shower couldnt deliver responsible capitalism if they tried.
Its a FRED CARNO, ARTHUR DALEY government this.
Look at Camoron never had a job in his life always had everything he needs given to him on a plate. How the hell can he tell a man whose lost his job through no fault of his own that benefit cuts are good for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its assholic talk.

Thats wrong.
The main figure is unemployment as gone up from 7.1% to 7.2%.
Like Ive always maintained tories are misleading people with statistics.
Not only that but the TREND is set to go higher.
Wonder what CARNEY is going to do about this, another U turn like Giddeon.

gf
Sorry to have missed you this morning. I was up very early to get to the hospital for a cataract appointment. I must say what a pleasant experience it was to be treated by the NHS. Nice staff, efficient, hardly any waiting time. Now it will be new lenses for me in a few weeks. I only had to wait a week for my appointment after referral by optician. As I have an adtigmatsm, I have to wait about six weeks to be operated on. If I had normal eyesight I would have been done in three weeks. There are three nice restaurants in the hospital, excellent coffee at 90p.

Haze,
Did you have to slip them bob or two or were they trying out new techniques?
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/13/patients-nhs-waiting-list-coalition
The number of people waiting for NHS hospital treatment has risen by more than 300,000 under the coalition, amid concern that NHS rationing is forcing patients to wait longer for operations.
NHS data shows that 2.88 million people in England were waiting for consultant-led treatment in December 2013, up by 310,000 or 12% on May 2010.
"It's worrying that the number of extra people waiting is that high. That 310,000 is a huge number of people who are waiting for what is quite often life-changing surgery," said Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association.

Don't take too much notice of the Guardian, especially articles written by activists.
