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.

I suspect I don't c, so why not enlighten us?

Cos the drop price is absurd, what else can they visit on the hapless drivers?

cynic - 25 Apr 2014 14:29 - 39934 of 81564

if i remember correctly
hermes pay very low prices for their routes
demand that packages are dropped off within a very short time frame
are quite likely to take a route away from a driver pretty much on a whim

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

another of these courier companies keeps taking on more and more drivers, though apparently they have insufficient work to keep their current drivers busy

the idea is probably to try to get drivers to accept ever lower rates

Hays Hays Hays, another poll JUST OUT.

Get ready to cream yourself...............

electionista ‏@electionista 30s
UK - Populus poll:

CON 35%
LAB 35%
LDEM 9%
UKIP 13%

goldfinger - 25 Apr 2014 14:50 - 39936 of 81564

Rekon its a rougue poll, due to Easter break.

But you can never charge ME of hiding or supressing the results/truth. I say it as it says.

Pity same cant be said of Davy, Giddeon and more so IDS.

cynic - 25 Apr 2014 14:50 - 39937 of 81564

hey sticky, that 40 seat majority for labour must be a racing certainty now :-)

goldfinger - 25 Apr 2014 14:54 - 39938 of 81564

By the way im sitting on some POTENTIAL mind blowing political/ humane gravy that will rock the established core to the ground if it comes into being and I think the odds are very much stacked in my favour. 21 days to the outcome and counting.

THIS COULD BE MASSIVE.

goldfinger - 25 Apr 2014 14:58 - 39939 of 81564

Cyners these Bank holiday polls often throw up falseys just like Cheryl Coles tits.

Thought id give Hays a sexual lift LOL LOL.

Haystack - 25 Apr 2014 15:02 - 39940 of 81564

No one will care about the FOI case to be ruled on in 21 days time.

cynic - 25 Apr 2014 15:04 - 39941 of 81564

oh well, here's one for a chuckle that's just popped up on the net ......

UKIP has defended a senior party official who placed an advert in a local paper saying women should stay at home and "cash-strapped Moslems" should have multiple wives.
David Challice, an activist in Exeter, also hit out at the "lunacy of multiculturalism" and described Greeks as "vile".

Haystack - 25 Apr 2014 15:37 - 39943 of 81564

If any party was heading down the Fascist route it is UKIP. Funny how NF has just the right initials. Nearly all the similar parties in Europe have those initials such as Nuovo Fronteria in Italy.

EU's court could next week rule in favour of taxation without representation in Europe


By Mats Persson Economics Last updated: April 25th, 2014



The EU’s court, the ECJ, is on Wednesday expected to deliver a key ruling on whether it’s legal for a group of EU countries – including Germany and France – to pursue a financial transaction tax (FTT) which also has an impact on the countries not participating, including the UK. The case is big.

Taxes on financial transactions usually falter – look at Sweden in the 1980s or Italy and France now. Even if you think that "banks should pay for the crisis", which is a perfectly legitimate position, a transaction tax is a terrible way to go about it, since transactions move elsewhere or costs are passed on. In a desperate attempt at avoiding this, the European Commission has effectively opted for taxing the entire universe. Any equity, bond or derivative transaction involving a party in the FTT-zone and one outside will be taxed. So all transactions of this type between, say, Deutsche Bank and Barclays will be taxed with the revenue likely going to the German government. Yet, London no longer has any say on the actual proposal since it is being pursued under a quirk in the EU treaties known as "enhanced cooperation" – allowing a sub-set of countries to press ahead with more integration if an agreement involving all EU countries isn’t possible.

Surely the above represents fundamental change?


Where's the referendum??

No one will care about the FOI case to be ruled on in 21 days time.............ends

ohhhhhh is that so Hays. Well I happen to be privy to further legal developments since the TRIBUNAL yesterday at which the DWP DIDNT EVEN ATTEND.

This is a tinder box ready to go off.

I have been asked to divulge no further information I have received, but rest assured I will report back to you my loyal muckers here on this thread when the shit hits the fan...........BIG TIME.

goldfinger - 25 Apr 2014 19:00 - 39947 of 81564

Osbourne in big trouble with RBS.

200% bonus isnt enough the bwankers say. God help us.

This is a non party political post.........we have to do something and forget party politics and also embrace international cooperation.

Lets face it its now got to the point where this group of people are holding the World to ransom.

MaxK - 25 Apr 2014 19:15 - 39948 of 81564

What would you do gf?

Fred1new - 25 Apr 2014 20:19 - 39949 of 81564

GF,

Agreed.

Europe first.

Those of the "free world" who agree!

Fred1new - 25 Apr 2014 20:19 - 39950 of 81564

.

goldfinger - 26 Apr 2014 00:30 - 39951 of 81564

Max, just report back what as happened, BUT this is explosive stuff. Very explosive stuff when the Media get thet hands on it.

Sorry i cant be more specific at this time.

Hays broadly knows what I mean, but hasnt latched on yet as to why its such a sensitive issue.

Lets just say the DWP didnt turn up to a tribunal and therefore left themselves bare assed open to the attack that took place on them. The tribunal team were to say the least not very impressed by their actions on the day.

Hays says 21 days, it could be a lot faster than that, watch this space.

goldfinger - 26 Apr 2014 00:36 - 39952 of 81564

ps, sorry wires crosssed Max on my post s above.

Your meaning what would you do re- Bankers bonus as is Fred.

Ill post over the weekend.

Im falling asleep here at the wheel.

Been out fishing ohh that fresh air and the ale that follows, lethal combination.
