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.

I see Noel Edmonds wants to buy the BBC.....heavens forbid...it's mostly crap already....except for a few exceptions...their news/weather/sport website is first class...

Max under labour never had it as good.

A loaf of bread then was 19p at Sainsburys now same loaf 129p.

T Shirts at Primark £1 to £3 now same ones about £15.

Them were the days.

The £66 million man buying t shirts from Primark? Cllass gf Class! :O)

I could hold my drink in one hand!

No wonder the likes of Lidl and Aldi are doing so well, fractions of the price.


There again, almost any of the main supermarkets will beat those price to a fair thee well.

£2.50 to you gf.





£15 quid indeed, you could buy a whole outfit for that if you aint fussy.

Didn't realise Manuel was playing golf to-day before going back to taxi driving in London as a second job.

About time he did something useful.

Missed his inane remarks, made me realise everybody has a chance to survive to 70.

Feeling sore, just lost at chess to somebody younger than myself.

Strange isnt it how some people think you get rich by chucking money away.

Ohhh dear litttle wonder they never get anywhere and then hang out in the badlands of Scotland (Aberdeen) and support a Eton Boys government so it makes them look as though they are cool and in the 'with it crowd'. Working class stupidity at its worst.

O/Topic Max wheres the T Shirt from????. Have they got a crew neck????

Tight wad - Could be worse, grateful i don't live next door to you.

Primark gf, I get most of my teeshirts and socks from them...via the wife.

The quality is ok, but not great. But I'm tight about stuff that aint gonna last anyway, so cheap and cheerfull does the job.

Same here Max not only that but I like casual all the time.

Why chuck money away at Teddy Boy when you can get if for a tenth of the price at Primark.

There are about 45 million fake £1 coins in circulation (approx. 3% of the total) and the Royal Mint has issued guidance on how to spot one of them:



1. The date and design on the reverse do not match (the reverse design is changed each year).
2. The lettering or inscription on the edge of the coin does not correspond to the right year.
3. The milled edge is poorly defined and the lettering is uneven in depth, spacing or is poorly formed. The obverse and reverse designs are not as sharp or well defined.
4. Where the coin should have been in circulation for some time, the colouring appears more shiny and golden and the coin shows no sign of age.
5. The colour of the coin does not match genuine coins.
6. The orientation of the obverse and reverse designs is not in line.
7. The best indication is that the Queen's head and the pattern on the reverse of the coin should both be upright when the coin is turned over. If not -it's a fake.

Best Tip: Fake £1 coins are obviously worthless so if you find one, then simply spend it, otherwise it will cost you £1 if you simply hand it in to the bank.

Also FYI: The new ones, see below and which get launched in 2017, won't fit shopping trolleys or coin slots and so at a cost of £10-£12 per coin slot, it will cost the economy around £20 million to cater for them.

Good news again!

The number of people out of work in the UK fell by 63,000 to 2.33 million in the three months to January 2014, according to official figures.
The unemployment rate now stands at 7.2% of the population, down from 7.4% in the previous three months, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The number of people in employment rose to a record total of 30.19 million.
Average earnings also increased, with pay in the three months to January up 1.4% from a year earlier.
