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.

Doreen Lawrence 'Could Be Labour's Candidate For London Mayor in 2016'

I don't think that would be a good idea , can't see her getting tough on black crime when most gun & gang crimes are by young blacks in London. What other expeairance as she got to run London?

Another topic entirely;;;
Am I the only one irritated by a chatting woman (or man, even) that appears without end... looks like someone using airspace to promote their angle on Finance in the US.

I can switch it off, but Windowes is so dumb that this affects the beeps and other warnings, also on other sites everything is silent. Arrgh.

On my PC she's chattering as I type.... very distracting..... please, let's have an Add-off button.... and make it a large one.

Maybe I've found the Solution....
If you hover over the picture, some control icons appear - slide the VOL to zero. Now on the Desktop, return the VOL to max.

Tried it...but that interruption returns next time you visit another page (or Home etc.)... so you have to move the audio-slider for each page visit..... Grr.

( Pausing it is a simpler operation, BTW ).

Alders,cheers mate..............a big thumbs up.

Isnt it funny how you fall out with someone originaly and then find out you have assesed them wrong on your first meeting/contact.

I took alders to be a kid from a screaming rich family, how wrong I was, just goes to show you have to use a lot of discretion when summing somone up on the first contact.

I mean look at cynic what a tosser i thought,.........and now.........what a tosser........wink, only kidding.................but I know you like it.

hangon.........welcome to the OLD FARTS THREAD............more more more.....please.

You mentioned Ukraine earlier.

Russia asking for a "recall" of UN.

I wonder if Putin has overplayed his hand and realises it, or is he another psychopath and does not care damn?

Just wondering,!!

I think that the Ukraine will split in two....a bit like West and East Germany in 1945 !.

germany did not split itself in two; the east was annexed by russia

in ukraine, there can be little doubt that russia is fomenting unrest in eastern ukraine .... it would not surprise me if putin disingenuously asks un to support a move to allow east ukraine to determine its own future - i.e. to allow it to vote to join russia like crimea

Putin's current strategy is to suggest that Ukraine moves to a federal structure with parts of it having some autonomy similar to Crimea before it joined Russia. This Putin's last chance to get all or some of Ukraine. He knows that it won't be long before Ukraine is part of the EU and then NATO. Either one of those associations would generate a response if he tried to annrxe it later.

That's not my read on this, but I might be (probably) wrong.


Putin will have the last laugh on this, he holds all the cards. (winter is coming)

certainly the markets don't like it ..... both cash dow (15992) and ftse (6504) tumbling afresh

Pixel fault: Nigel Farage was given an unfortunate Hitler moustache

I think Putin would make it through the Bond villain auditions.....I can see it now...Meestur Vond...you shalz not ezcape...

Nice to see the price of crude rising once again....
