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.

Yes well said.

We want our money back as tax payers.

And thats the VERY LEAST............................

anyone hear on SKY NEWS last night how Camorons own web site that receives these 100,000 signed petitions that have to be heard in the House of commons kept deleting the one I put up here on this thread yesterday with well over 100,000 signatures.

Is Camoron playing God now??????????????

Milliband should attack him immediatly on this alone in PMQs today.

Its a farce if he gets away with it, dont forget the petition called for her to be prosecuted.

GF

You say : "anyone hear on SKY NEWS last night how Camorons own web site that receives these 100,000 signed petitions that have to be heard in the House of commons kept deleting the one I put up here on this thread yesterday with well over 100,000 signatures."

Sorry, what do you mean? Can you please explain this again?

Right a job is done, but if she has "fiddle" the books, the money should be paid back and allow her to move on.

I think she price paid the price of her vanity!

Are any of you fed up with the BBC coverage of th Pistoriius Trial.

I have never watched so much Aljaserra and RT.


Interessting contrast though.


GF,

Better luck in the market today.

Cynic,

Are you advertising a tight arse?

only when picking up the soap when in the company of some :-)

====================

maria miller
what natural justice dictates and what is set by her peers are clearly at more than at considerable variance
it highlights why MPs are clearly incapable of policing themselves, not least because I gather that the lay members of the committee aren't even allowed to vote

Good luck with that one Exec!

Latest YouGov / The Sun results 8th April - Con 33%, Lab 37%, LD 10%, UKIP 13%;

The prosecuting attorney has shown the court a video of Pistorius shooting at and completely explosively blowing up a melon at a shooting range.

In the video clip, Pistorius also explodes, with utter delight at his achievement.

Then to the total amazement of everyone, the attorney also shows a picture on the monitor of Reeva's head, the top of which has also been blown to bits during the shooting in the flat. The image is gross! It is utterly shocking! The attorney then asks Pistorius to look at it and admit and accept responsibility for what he has done.

Pistorius screams back that he doesn't have to look at the picture. He says, "I was there! I know what it looked like!"

I guess we all know that the prosecuting attorney is going to try to make Pistorius lose his temper or his cool. This was an illustration of just how far he is going to go in order to do just that.

Will Oscar Pistorius manage to maintain his discipline? I wonder.

The court was temporarily adjourned to allow Pistorius to regain his composure. There are numerous breaks and pauses in this case to do just that. The time wasted doing this, is beginning to be well past a joke and a phenomenal waste of the court's resources.

Wonga payday loan ad banned for implying 5853% rate was 'irrelevant'






Rob Williams Author Biography


Wednesday 09 April 2014


A television advert for the payday loans company Wonga has been banned for implying the 5853% interest rate was "irrelevant".



The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) agreed with 31 complainants who claimed the ad confused viewers about the applicable interest rate on a Wonga loan, implied that the representative APR was irrelevant to a short-term loan and was irresponsible because it encouraged consumers to disregard the representative APR and thereby trivialised the decision to take out a short-term loan.

The advert featured a conversation between two puppets, who said: "Right, we're going to explain the costs of a Wonga short-term loan.

"Some people think they will pay thousands of per cent of interest. They won't of course - that's just the way annual rates are calculated. Say you borrowed £150 for 18 days, it would cost you £33.49."

Reeva's mother was warned about the picture and evidently wanted it to be shown so that Pistorius had to look at it. I agree with you ExecLine about all the time wasting going on so that Pistorius can regain his composure.

Apologies,

A bit late like the PM.

But I was told by haze that all was going as planned!

Mind he was up all night!




PS.

Did you pay for that banquet?

Old News back from 2006. Is it still valid? Is it already happening on here?

Human species 'may split in two'
Different human sub-species predicted by Dr Oliver Curry
Humanity may split into an elite and an underclass, says Dr Curry
Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.
Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.

The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.

The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.

Race 'ironed out'

But in the nearer future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall, he predicts, while life-spans will have extended to 120 years, Dr Curry claims.

Physical appearance, driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility, will improve, he says, while men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises.

Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features, he adds. Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people.

However, Dr Curry warns, in 10,000 years time humans may have paid a genetic price for relying on technology.

Spoiled by gadgets designed to meet their every need, they could come to resemble domesticated animals.

Receding chins

Social skills, such as communicating and interacting with others, could be lost, along with emotions such as love, sympathy, trust and respect. People would become less able to care for others, or perform in teams.

Physically, they would start to appear more juvenile. Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food.

There could also be health problems caused by reliance on medicine, resulting in weak immune systems. Preventing deaths would also help to preserve the genetic defects that cause cancer.

Further into the future, sexual selection - being choosy about one's partner - was likely to create more and more genetic inequality, said Dr Curry.

The logical outcome would be two sub-species, "gracile" and "robust" humans similar to the Eloi and Morlocks foretold by HG Wells in his 1895 novel The Time Machine.

"While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance on technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along with each other, said Dr Curry.

He carried out the report for men's satellite TV channel Bravo.

The morlocks are here already, just look at the inmates in the house of commons.

When you said 'here', I thought the reference was to some of the occupants of this BB.

Haze,

Do you consider yourself a sub species?

Perhaps ready for extinction!

Exec Line your post earlier today, just got back from a fishing trip sorry for late reply, 39391.........

Please sign the petition, Maria Miller To Face Crimminal Charges...........

https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/maria-miller-to-face-criminal-proceedings

The above petition signature was presented with 100,000 plus signatures time and time again to Camorons own online site but his administrator kept rejecting it as he as done again today.

Theirs the small amount of £40,000 she should pay back but more importantly the petition as secured the 100,000 plus signatures Camoron gurantees for a house of commons debate on wether Millers case should be handed over to the police for consideration of prosecuting her.

The matters not over yet, tweeters on twitter are scathing that the petition hasnt been accepted by our PM who set up the system himself.

.

Exec Line when you click on the link it doesnt show 100,000 signatures at that time I posted it, but just 80 minutes later it had the 100,000 required.

Camoron is supressing his own form of democracy that which he created, what does that say of him???.

Last night on Sky News 'what the papers say' picked up on this and said it would be front page news tonight, wether that still happens(it should) is a different matter, with Miller resigning, but at the very least we should demand back the £40 grand she didnt pay.

Miller resigns at last – now it is time to call in the police

Going (unpunished): Maria Miller has made a huge profit from her misuse of taxpayers’ money while in public office. Now is the time for her to face a criminal investigation.

Maria Miller resigned as Culture Secretary today (Thursday) – after a week of hanging on by her fingernails in the hope that everyone would suddenly forget that she fraudulently claimed mortgage interest on a south London house that she wanted the authorities to believe was her second home (when in fact it was her parents’ first).

During that time she has managed to reignite public disgust at the many expenses scandals in which Parliamentarians have been revealed to have been involved since the Daily Telegraph first lifted the lid on them in 2009.

She has also managed to undermine public support for comedy Prime Minister David Cameron, whose continuing support for her has shown just how weak he must be. He needed Miller because she was a woman in a predominantly male Cabinet, state-educated in a mainly private-school Cabinet, and an avid supporter of Cameron himself in a government that is beginning to realise that he’s a dud. In supporting her, he showed just how precarious his hold on the leadership really is.

Of course, she also generated a huge amount of hatred towards herself. Remember, this is a person who used taxpayers’ money to pay for her parents’ house – a building which she subsequently sold for a profit of more than £1 million.

Miller is not the first Cabinet member to make a million with taxpayers’ cash either – stand up George Osborne, who formerly had us paying for a paddock, a house and other scraps of land in his Tatton constituency on which he falsely claimed expenses, saying they were vital for the performance of his duties as an MP. He later sold the lot for around £1 million, having spent not a single penny of his own on the property – it all came from the taxpayer.

Osborne was protected from prosecution by the Parliamentary Standards Authority – a body that appears not to be as independent as it claims.

Now is the time to report Miller to the police.

A Parliamentary inquiry is not the same as a criminal investigation and it is important for her case to be tested in a court of law. This woman was part of a government that has had no qualms about using the law to take taxpayers’ money away from people who needed state benefits in order to survive; now let us see how she fares when the law turns its attention to her.

Who’s up for it?
