THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

PS.

I think this period in the Tory party's history will be seen as a shameful one.

cynic - 11 Apr 2014 16:36 - 39514 of 81564

set an example by MPs breaking the rules ...... you forgot to add from all sides of the house
but other than that, and as i have written before, it worries me greatly that the great majority of people will feel so disillusioned with politics in general, that they just won't bother to turn out to vote ..... then the nutters will gain disproportionate representation to the detriment of the many

goldfinger - 11 Apr 2014 16:51 - 39515 of 81564

I agree with both of you guys on your posts above.

Well thought out.

God forbid if UKIP got an hold in this country. And yep I like it as a protest vote, and Im just hoping most others do aswel...........especialy at the next general election......WINK.

goldfinger - 11 Apr 2014 16:55 - 39516 of 81564

Hays Hays Hays Hays.............

the MARIA effect now working......a lagging indicator dont forget and Davy Gravy is now being looked upon as WEAK........

electionista ‏@electionista 9hour ago
UK - YouGov/Sun poll:

CON 32%
LAB 38%
LDEM 8%
UKIP 14

6 point lead restored to Labour and more importantly 38% of the vote that would get them over the line with a majority.

Lib Dems getting hammered.

cynic - 11 Apr 2014 16:55 - 39517 of 81564

much as you like to tease hays, i really cannot see any way of ukip gaining any more than 5 seats at the general election, and as hays says, probably none ..... however, the collateral damage that votes for ukip may do is something of a worry, and it may well affect both labour and tory

goldfinger - 11 Apr 2014 17:04 - 39518 of 81564

Those 5 seats could be crucial dont forget Cyners.

I wouldnt pay too much attention to hays, he does talk some clap trap.

Probably was saying same thing about the LIB/DEMS when they formed as he is with UKIP now.

Got to be very carefull...............................................................

Off Topic....what a shity week in the market.

Just hope this weekend turns out to be the turnaround. Not done too badly but ive spent a lot of time working out differing senarios on my folio burning the mid night oil searching for hedges/stratergy etc etc for the day after.

goldfinger - 11 Apr 2014 17:07 - 39519 of 81564

ps, .......I meant that about Camoron looking weak after the Miller affair, seems to me hes too dammed loyal to his underlings.

He should engage his boot rather than his heart and a dammed lot quicker than he as historicaly done so.

aldwickk - 11 Apr 2014 17:14 - 39520 of 81564

But with the power the EU has over the laws in the Uk , UKIP will have more power then some Tory MP's

cynic - 11 Apr 2014 17:20 - 39521 of 81564

concur sticky ..... a truly pathetic performance by cameron ..... i agree that you can't have the press running the gov't, but as soon as it was clear there were serious questions to answer, mm should either have been leant on hard to resign or at the very least, to be temporarily suspended

on the other hand, the case of nigel evans casts other pernicious shadows

goldfinger - 11 Apr 2014 17:30 - 39522 of 81564

Alders thats a very good point, especially with Euro MPs which will belong to UKIP given their present momentum.

Do you by any chance think at the next election they may form a coalition with the Tories or is this just press talk?

goldfinger - 11 Apr 2014 17:39 - 39523 of 81564

Cyners seems we agree at last on some political things.

Made me laugh when I posted this tweet on twitter thursday after the deputy Culture minister Millers side kick Fabricant who said she should be sacked got the boot himself aswel.

Bl7C6FBa_normal.jpegMichael Fabricant favorited your Tweet
Apr 10: @Mike_Fabricant.... Sorry to see you got the boot, F them all Shaps aswel. Miller had to go. Keep the good work up......................ends

Parliament needs more colourfull characters like him than the boring stero type we normaly get.

Lets face it a bloke who wears one sock pink and the other sock green as to be a bit of a character no matter what his background.

Fred1new - 11 Apr 2014 18:11 - 39524 of 81564

GF and SINNER,


I do hope this B. market settles down and finds a direction. Preferably up.

One of the worst weeks I have had for sometime.

Holdings some longs base on fundies, I hope the B. projections are correct and Russia doesn't walk into Ukraine over the weekend.

--------

Both, even all, have a good weekend.



Didn't forget labour sins, just prefer to ignore them and suggest they get a better legal representatives.

I was surprised by "result" in Nigel's case, but where was Cameron in the Rebecca's case.


Why wasn't he giving a character reference, or does she believe in that doing so would be equivalent to a death wish.

(I will stand by my aaarrrrrrrrrH!)

Help to buy?



Garage is most expensive in Britain

Disused garage in London sells for £550,000 making it the most expensive in Britain





By Claire Carter, and agencies

2:53PM BST 11 Apr 2014



A disused garage, with cracks in the walls and debris on the floor, has become the most expensive to sell in Britain after it was bought at auction for more than half a million.


The former coach house, which used to house the Mayor of Southwark’s car, exceeded the average house price by more than £150,000 to sell for £550,000.


The empty building in Camberwell, next to an industrial estate in south London, beat the previous record when a garage under the shadow of Harrods sold for £25,000.


The garage, which has vaulted ceilings, a roller steel door and a cobbled drive, was given an estimate of £200,000 by auctioneers Andrew Scott Robertson – but sold for almost triple that amount.


Jeremy Lamb, associate director and auctioneer, said: “It's an empty shell of a building.

Fred1new - 11 Apr 2014 19:18 - 39527 of 81564

GF,

No he is not.


He is down at party HQ being indoctrinated, learning the new mantras and picking up his begging hat to go around the city begging for donations!


8-)

Ps.

Keep it to yourself.

Fred, had mine since 2008, just a little Elddis Suntor 100. Very good at getting down very narrow lanes and tight spots on Exmoor/Dartmoor where I Like to walk and wild camp, but anywhere off the main roads and see the villages and countryside we by-pass in normal life. In short, walk, talk, coffee's and pub lunches.

Fred, on looking at some pics of your van........ think you'd get mine in the garage. lol

Fred1new - 11 Apr 2014 21:16 - 39531 of 81564

Baler,

When I retired in 97 I had not had a holiday for 20 years excluding a few week ends fishing.

I had also promised myself when I was hitch hiking around France in the 60s that I would return and eat at some of the restaurants I couldn't afford to read the menu at when I was there.

When I returned, I found that age had tightened my pockets and improved my own cooking!

I bought the Allegro and spent 5-6 years on and off Wild Camping, and occasionally staying at camp sites when on the hoof at Lisbon Barcelona and Paris etc. and my wife or other members of the family had flown out to tell me that it was safe to come home. 8-)

One of the most enjoyable periods of my life.

Met all sorts of foreigners and found them quite human, a bit like the English.

Sadly, unless my grand children say "please keep the van" this is probably my last year.

Enjoy you wild camping.

France and Portugal are generally tolerant, but Spain a little less so.

Some of the camping sites are beautiful.
