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 have just watched "Off Their Rockers" on ITV.

Could not help thinking of Manuel and some of the crew on Moneyam.


Hilarious.

Apolitical and one of the funniest programmes I have seen for a long time.

Nice to see the acceptance by participants. Don't know how much filming was cut.

Sometimes, being old is fun!!!

Which one was you Fred ? Turned it over half way through before I fell asleep.

When it comes down to the nitty, the only one of the big three who doesent speak with a "huge" forked tongue is Nick when it comes to €uropa.


Cameroon is Lying.

Millibandus is saying nowt, which is as good as lying.

Cleggy is the only one willing to stand up and state his case.


It deserves some respect imo.

Cameron is the only one telling the truth. Clegg is a wimp, Miliband is pretending that there might he a referendum under special circumstances, Farage can't deliver anything. Cameron is saying that there will definitely be a referendum after discussion about changes.

Miliband is pro-European and would be reluctant to exit from EU unless the price was too high.

That is what he has suggested.

Common sense.

Haystack.

Farage is going to decimate your party (and mine) in the €uro elections, you cannot keep dismissing peoples concerns as if they have no import.

He will do very well in the EU elections because it is proportional voting. It won't help him in the general election. I am not fussed what happens in the EU elections.

haven't you lot got anything else to ramble on about?

Yep looks like its going to be one hell of a sh-te start to the week on the market.

Batten down the hatches.

just wondering how many stocks IG Index will put on PHONE ONLY orders.

not many i should think .... it usually only applies when their specific book is overloaded in none direction
fingers x'ed that this is just a very short and sharp blip

Techs are getting hit bar my weekend chart one. just have a look cyners, up 18% from the off.

leaving on some travels later this morning so a bit short of time especially as have to complete a tender before i go ..... missing you already :-)

This will cheer you up...........

McVey and her underground TAX
Uncategorized April 6, 2014

How many times dear reader have you heard Esther McVey say the bedroom tax is NOT A TAX. TAX IS WHAT YOU PAY ON INCOME IT IS NOT A TAX IT IS A SPARE ROOM SUBSIDY. Yes that would be the same McVey in whose constituency we find that 94% of all new HB claims since the election have come from private tenants who get £3.2m more each year in LHA than social tenants would get in HB (Now that is what a real subsidy is!)

ITISNOTATAXITISNOTATAXITISNOTATAXITISNOTATAXITISNOTATAXITISNOTATAX – ok you get the picture.

In fact you should really get the picture below!!

You may well know that McVey is the MP for Wirral West which is separated from Liverpool by two road tunnels for which you have to pay a toll. The tunnel toll is supposedly going up again and so today at a protest we see McVey holding up a banner and posing for a photograph.

What do you think it says on her banner?

Yes it does say “Axe the Tunnel TAX “

You could have chosen to hold up a banner saying “Say No to Tunnel Tolls” and as you can see there are SEVEN such banners to hold up and pose for the picture; yet you, the very media savvy Esther McVey chose to hold up one of just two banners calling this a TAX!

Is the gentleman behind you is looking at your other face? Poor chap!

Feel quite strongly about this, to the point I felt sufficiently galvanised to email the PM's office re misappropriation of public funds, ie, theft. I'm pretty sick of the 'noses in the expenses trough, syndrome.

I'm sure Call Me Dave will be on the case as soon as he gets your mail.

"I see the idea of free schools as a very positive one - the one that can run in parallel to the state schools, unions and the vested interests and eventually out-compete and make state schools redundant.
Particularly if the State is prepare to throw money at them it refuses to spend on other schools"


Cash for the icon to tory failing ideology, none for the weakest in society.

These are the torrid days.
