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.

I think you spend too much time in the Ty Bach.

You really should get out a bit more and leave the Anal period behind you.

(Stunted childhood comes to mind.)

fossy - let's try a different one ...... are you ever going to answer a direct question, or will you just continue to give a lot of gob?

cynic
You are certainly right about the disruptive effect of the UKIP. However, the actual effect would likely be to split the Conservative vote, letting Labour in. This would be entirely the opposite of what UKIP supporters would want. It rules out a referendum and any possibility of leaving the EU. It also rules out any discussions of EU rules. The final thing is UKIP's worse nightmare and that is increased federalism as Labour are committed to further fiscal and political integration. The last time they were in they gave away our veto. What will they surrender next? Will we be joining the Euro?

A story that got little coverage was the EU requirement to have the head office of a bank in the same state as its registered office. This requirement would mean Lloyds and RBS moving their head offices out of Scotland.

Manuel,

Often, I consider you to thick to be bothered with answering your questions.

When you are given answers your response is either abuse or simpleton's response I can't be bother to read the post.

Whether, you vote, or not, is of very little importance to me and even with your obvious intellect I cannot see that it will materially alter things for me or others.

But you do seem fixated with my intentions.

However, if you wish to have a dictatorial state, where Manuel's law dictates to others that they should vote, good luck.

Again I don't think you will have many followers.

But, as an observer, you do seem to overvalue yourself and your opinions very frequently. It would seem to me that you suffer from self grandiosity

You maybe lucky, as you can have treatment many be possible for your condition.

Check with your daughter-in-law.

Alders CEY.......no. Im getting a bit worried about the outcome of the legal action so I moved to ABG late last week.

Mind CEY have had broker BUY updates today, so they might know something I dont.

Certainly will get back in when and If it goes CEY way.

Haze.

Maybe, that is what a lot of said supporters of Ukippers want.


But you can see from the present problem with Russia and the Ukraine the advantages of a more united and coordinated EU would be.

One which is not fragmented by whipper snappers on the periphery.

If Cameron was PM after the next election, he would do everything in his power to stay in the EU. and a lot of the hierarchy around him would do the same and a lot of the said renegotiation would be window dressing. (Do your own homework.)

Farage and his motley crew knows this.

fossy - your gob issues the standard garbage and no answers at all ..... will that surprise anyone? .... assuredly not

The campaign against Scottish independence retained its lead in the latest poll by Ipsos MORI, with the largest gap in favor of staying in the U.K. among female voters and in more affluent areas of the country.

The survey for broadcaster STV found 55 percent of people wanted to keep Scotland in the U.K. with 29 percent in favor of independence and 16 percent undecided. The No vote was unchanged from the company’s poll in December, while the Yes vote slipped two percentage points.

Among women, 59 percent wanted to keep the status quo with 27 percent backing independence versus a split of 54 percent to 38 percent for men, Ipsos MORI said. In richest parts of Scotland, the gap in favor of remaining in the U.K. was 51 percentage points compared with six points in the most deprived areas, the survey found.

Ipsos MORI questioned 1,001 people by telephone on Feb. 20-25. No margin of error was given. For voters who were certain to vote, the gap was 57 percent to 32 percent and when excluding undecided respondents it widened to 67 percent to 33 percent in support of staying in the U.K.

This Pistorius case in South Africa is a case for Hercule Poirot....a case tres difficile I might add....I reckon he shot his partner in a temper perhaps trying to scare her terribly in a moment of rage confident of missing her and perhaps after the first bullet hit her then realising he had to finish her.....drugs perhaps or alcohol....?....4 bullets fired....would anybody fire four bullets into your own toilet/bathroom ?...insane....the danger of the wrong people owning guns once again....

The danger of anyone owning guns!

I reckon your absolutely right rf, they had a row, she locked herself in the loo for safety and he was in such a rage that he lost the plot. He seems to be quite a creep really, I remember when he didn't win his second gold medal at the Olympics and threw a hissy fit, complaining about the guy who beat him supposedly having blades which were illegal. I think he was tested for drugs and alcohol after he was arrested and both tests proved negative. His defence council seems to be doing a good job at the moment, unfortunately.

I think you have hit the nail on the head rf.


But guns dont kill anyone, as you well know, it's the loon behind the gun that's does the damage.

Yesterday there was evidence about when he discharged a gun in a restaurant and injured his friend in the foot and tried to get someone else to take responsibility. That was a month before shooting girlfriend.

In my eyes hes as guilty as sin.

No ifs and buts, you can tell hes a hot head.

Been like that on the track for last 10 years.

Hays tonight......7.30 on ITV The Rise Of The Working Poor.

Forget watching Eastenders and your favorite soap actor cockney thug.... Phil Mitchel.

I wonder if Pretorius has been on the steroids. They can make you aggressive.

Hazie,

How do you know?

I thought you would be a 5 st. weakling.

Hays - STV headlines just now, Aberdeen City Council are enclosing a letter with Council Tax updates on the benefits of staying in the UK. Mr Salmond won't be impressed with that. :O)

The raison d'être of the SNP is leaving the UK. If Salmond loses badly in the referendum, what will become of him and the SNP? How long before the next push for a referendum? They can't have one every year. Would gap of a generation be enough?
