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.

Perhaps it should be a 7 day constant blue one and perhaps it would take our minds off the bloody stock market - joke, ha! a! ha!

When down always remember the ones worse off than ourselves - sometimes though when one is down then they cannot see that escape, thank you for reminding me.x

TO ALL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ADS THIS IS FROM Rocky on the FTSE250 thread it works !!!

OK, did some research into this and found the following solution. For IE, go to 'Tools' - 'Manage add-ons' - click 'Tracking Protection' then in the pane below click 'Get a Tracking Protection list online' In the page that opens I selected the second entry down 'EasyPrivacy' by clicking the 'Add' button next to it. Make sure it it then enabled in the 'Manage Add-ons' entry list.
That will zap the add box completely and peace and quiet will resume.
Hope this helps. I imagine a similar fix can be used for google Chrome. If I get time I'll look into it.
I did a bit of research for 'Google Chrome' users and came up with this:
In Chrome to the right of the address bar click the 'Customize' button then select the 'Settings' option then click on 'Extensions' on the left side. - Click 'Get more extensions' There is an app called 'Adblock Plus' which claims to zap annoying ads. Presumably if you install that it will do a similar job. I don't use Chrome so haven't tried it myself. Hope this helps

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyyoung/100236749/conservatives-and-labour-neck-and-neck-in-latest-opinion-poll/
Today's YouGov opinion poll for the Sun has the Tories level pegging with Labour, the first time that's happened in a YouGov poll since March 2012. The topline figures are CON 36, LAB 36, UKIP 12 and LD 10. That means Ed Miliband has frittered away a 14-pt lead in the past year, quite an achievement for an Opposition leader at this point in the political cycle.
This is the latest in a slew of bad polls for Miliband. Last week, Ipsos MORI revealed that half of Labour's supporters are unhappy with his leadership, while a YouGov poll in yesterday's Sun disclosed that a majority of Britons now support the cuts for the first time in three years.
Hard to imagine worse news for Miliband on the eve of Labour's annual party conference. By now, it must have dawned on even the most die-hard Labour loyalists that their leader is a dud. I still think he's odds on to lead the party into the 2015 general election, but those odds are narrowing by the

Venice is voting to separate from Rome. Who was (is) behind it?

I think Europe should either hurry to invest in or help mainland Ukraine and match Russian's investment in Crimea OR face problems during election in 60 days (A pro-Russians may win the election)!!.
Ukrainians don't know English enough to follow the US media.

i don't think the eu should interfere in the politics at all
if ukraine chooses to join eu, then i guess it's fine to offer the country all sorts of incentives to help it get its economy on its feet .....
it's been bankrupt for many many years, primarily due to the hangover of russian communist hegemony in the region, meaning no one had any incentive to be efficient and work hard; there was no benefit or incentive (similar result if a gov't imposes too heavy a tax regime)
the election will no doubt be a very close run thing, not least because of the heavy russian-speaking preponderance in the east, though i dare say that does not necessarily mean that they will want to lose their ukrainian identity ..... crimea was slightly different in that it was an add-on in 1954, though i do not know why that came about

The election should be pro western. In previous elections the vote was more pro Russian because of Crimea. Without it a huge number of pro Russian voters will be gone.
