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.

Busted vote next time out methinks.

None of the main three are worth a toss, and their promises are worthless.


UKIP is almost certainly rubbish as well, but it might cause enough trouble to break up the cosy consensus of the present offerings.

You mean the Tories Max.

The electorate know not to vote labour if they want out of the EEC.

Everybodys called this wrong, Milliband despite having critics on his policy as played a long term blinder.

They know not to vote Labour, but vote Conservative if they want out of the EEC. UKIP won't get any MPs so pointless to vote them. That will become obvious as the election approaches.

From the joke for today thread

Scottish Independence Map

Ukip is the bin for worn out rejected tory far right, blue rinses and little englanders, I would be surprised if they get one MP in the next election for a UK government.

But the arrogant torrid party are underestimating Miliband I think he is playing his hand very shrewdly and I don't think the country is a euro-phobic and the tory elite who I guess don't want regulation of the city and the money laundering which is carried out there.

Hard luck.

Hazy One.

Cameron himself wishes too and knows he will have to stay in the EU if god forbid he was reelected.

Boris would also would stay in the EU.


But Cash would be a perfect tory leader to take you into the next election.

Post 38138 - I was born in Donedee and the map completely missed out Carnoustie, which must have one of the best golf courses ever designed!

Is the Skintland golf course at Carnasty nearer to Glasgone or to Edinborrow?

It's nearer to heaven than a lot of the silly pumped -up, over rated golf courses in Engerland that's for sure !

US sends 12 F-16 fight jets to air base in Poland

13 March 2014, 02:56 — The US Defense Department confirmed on Wednesday that it is sending a dozen F-16 fighter jets and 300 personnel to the US aviation detachment at Lask Air Base in Poland.

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced last week that the United States would augment the aviation detachment in light of the situation in Ukraine and Pentagon spokesman Steven Warren provided details Wednesday in a meeting with reporters.

TONY BENN
i'm amazed none of you have commented on the passing of this most honest - i was tempted to say towering, but thought that a bit ott - of politicians
most certainly i rarely agreed with his views, but at least for the most part he was thoughtful and measured and consistent, which is more than i think can be said for ANY today

Indeed c.

cynic
I agree. I didn't agree with him, but he was pretty straight and overall an influence for good. He was pretty extreme in left wing views as are other champagne socialists who were born into the aristocracy: in his case, he was Viscount Stansgate. He did manage 50 years as an MP.

He wanted to do away with the Trident system....look at the Russians now....perhaps a nice man in character..... but I have no confidence in Labour at all : they just blunder from one idiot decision to another and are even more corrupt that the right and that's saying something ....(I always think of Mike Yarwood and the generation game sketch as well...)...

Absolutely, left and proud. Unlike our host you wouldn't see him in a Conservative or Liberal club drinking ale or otherwise. GF floating voter, Benn's answer to that? I'll be polite BOLLOCKS! :O) But then what can you expect from a plastic Man U fan :O)

I remember that when Labour came to power...one of the first things they did...was to cancel the Acton bypass project (A40-M40)..which would have made the drive in and out of London towards Birmingham very easy......now look at it :...endless tailbacks and waits....and no sign of it getting any better .....one daft decision after another...always the same...always will be...
