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.

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.

Yep push off and start your own thread cynic.


When I did that you went crying to Ian , Someones stolen my thread , I have copyright on it . And it was deleted.

Anyone watch Question Time last night.? yes

What i found funny was that Rachel was flinging her arms and hands around has if the audience were deaf. Must have been watching to many of Tony Blair speeches , Just like the Blair babes were trained to do.

The Philosopher on the panel kept calm and was good .

GF,

Yes, did watch QT.

There was not much sympathy for the torrids.

But, I think Philip Hammond is underestimated and does not seem to me a rampant ideologist like some of his present "leadership".

Disagree with some of what he says, but appears moderate and usually talks sense.

The lady in question was Jeanette Winterson. A very feisty Lancashire lass. Frightens the wits out of many men.

It was quite an entertaining program.

But the torrid party is on the run.

=============
Hear Farrage has accepted a challenge to a debate on the EU with Clegg.

Bet Cameron ducks Farrage once again!

Probably, he is still hiding behind Alistair Darling.

Aldwick simply not accurate what you said in post above ie......

All,

We are closing this thread down.

Bulletin board etiquette would dictate that if you wish to start a new discussion thread, then by all means do so, but do so as an entirely serparate entity i.e. new ideas, new title etc.
