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.

Chris C read the header and stop being ignorant. It doesnt suit you.

The problem with bigots is....

The problem with lung disease is, you kind of have to breathe. At least a bit regularly.

And the problem with heart failure is hearts can't really fail. They're just not optional.

The problem with bowel disease is you have to eat. Quite a lot. I've tried stopping, it doesn't really work. And food is incredibly yummy. And it nurtures our souls more than our taste buds let on.

With kidney failure, hours dedicated to satisfying the great dialysis beast allows you to process liquids, which is fairly non-negotiable by anyone's standards.

And the problem with cancer is it doesn't give the tiniest shit which one of us it invades or where.

But the trouble with bigots is, they ignore all of that. They can only see one problem.

"Why is that bloke down the street getting something I'm not? And why should I pay for it??"

sticky - CC has a perfectly valid point ....

this thread is indeed not meant to be subject specific, but it is fast turning (or even has turned) into a tiresome, verbose, political soapbox monopolised by real or pretend or even pretentious socialists, and of course hays, who rises like a trout to every mayfly offered

Manuel,

No. All governments and managements make mistakes.

It is the conceited arrogance of the "Odd Boys" which many object to. Directing policies and actions within the services without respect of those who have worked in the "industries" for numerous years. Basing their changes on ideological miss-theories and diktats and ill-conceived dogma

The so called "health tourist" costs are minor, when you take the overall costs of the NHS.

Also, consider the approximate 2.5 millions Brits floating around abroad in the EU who also may receive medical care and medications.

What this government is doing is scapegoating the bloody "foreigners" (previously. at other times the Jews), the "idle", the socially, or medically impaired for their own failures and greed.

Manuel.

If the thread doesn't come up to your expectations. Bye Pass It.

Yours thoughts on the this thread won't be missed by many and your vanity could probably survive doing so.

If we had a poll the I suspect that RF (aka Red Fred) wouldn't be missed.

If posters dont like this thread set up your own.

I wont promise not to visit you though.

And Ill post within the terms and conditions of the Board as laid down by the management and not some halfpint upstart.

Haze,

I'd miss me!

That is enough to keep me plodding on trying to educate you!

How is your problem with non-conformist views of others?

Anyway Cynic its up to the individual to set the article and subject agenda.

Nobodys saying to Chris C that he cant say eg, post about Aberdeen..... shit hole that it is mind.

If nobody replies it shows they arent interested in his subject.............or him.

Similar with you, you can always post about your toff sport golf but dont think youd get many replies , girly sport that it is.

Goldfinger ?...what on earth are your blogs about ?...with all due respect...it's like you are going off the rails....and probably sending us all as well....trying to read through all this is desperate !...

Anyway...how about a little bet on Porto (soccer) to win tonight ...odds not bad !...

had you noticed how few replies you and fossy get to your ramblings? ...... hays almost always, with the occasional input from max and and on e or two others .....

in fact, it is just you and fossy who take up about 85% of the postings and SPACE on this thread, which should tell you that .....

FEW OF US ARE MUCH INTERESTED!

Then why comment?

Peculiar?

Yep push off and start your own thread cynic.

RF somebody as to point out the lies and myths this present government spread.

I do hear that they are contemplating setting up a ministry of propaganda.!!!!!!!!!

GF,

They are a ministry of propaganda already.

Please don't encourage them.

Bye the way he Manuel did start what could have been an interesting thread for some on food.

If he had refrained from being obnoxious it is possible that many may have contributed to it.

My skin is thicker than the most and Manuel is often amusing!

Absolutely Fred, see my comments on his fry ups thread.

Those old sayings still have virtue
Empty vessels make most noise

Anyone watch Question Time last night.?

Biggest cheer of night was when the writer on the panel cant remember her name laid into Cameron and his welfare reforms saying "here is a man who as wanted for nothing all his life and is simply not fit to run this country". WOW what a clap and positive response she got from the audience.

I suppose the audience were against the Tory Hammond who repeatedly kept calling LIZ /
Rachel Reeves........hes a minister for christ sake.

Talk of incompetence.
