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 didn't know this , Australia's state pension system operates on a non-contributory basis and is financed by general tax revenues. The Age Pension provides means-tested benefits for men over 65, but at different ages for women, based on their date of birth. By 2014, however, the age limit will be set at 65 for both men and women.

what a thin-skinned little pillock sticky is at times
i certainly told him he was a bully, which is a character defect he seems to have in abundance - e.g. if you don't show me respect, i'll punch you
dyslexic? ..... never aware of it anyway .... most here can't spell or write grammatically

specifically - did you know what he meant by "ingenuine"?
sure as hell i didn't!

Right off out fishing.

Going for Carp with bread floating.

Laters.

Isn't it dyslexia rules KO?

I don't see dyslexia as much of a disability. One of the highest incidence is amongst architects. They seem to manage fine.

and numerous actors, steve redgrave, richard branson and a great many other high achievers

my children are dyslexic to a fairly minor degree, and the best thing we ever did was to put them all through a pitman touch-typing course ... a huge help

Hays back.

Cant get a peg, and thats on my own mill dam,.......never mind.

Hays I have diabetics 2, for some reason this group have a much higher incidence of dyslexia.

Anyway Im not bothered about that I just dont like the way Cynic who knew dam well what he was doing set me up. Public School Boy games arent for me.

The little man can rot in hell.

Fred as been right all along.

gf
I see you are talking your usual brand of nonsense as usual.

Guardian, Telegraph and YouTube launch bid to host 2015 leaders' debate

Debate before general election would break broadcasters' monopoly and allow innovative audience participation


Patrick Wintour, political editor


theguardian.com, Thursday 15 May 2014 16.59 BST



The cross-platform collaboration would be aimed at engaging a younger and more interactive audience




A proposal for a party leaders' 2015 election debate to be staged on the internet is being launched by a unique alliance of YouTube, the Guardian, and the Telegraph.

The initiative for a debate broadcast through YouTube would break the monopoly of existing broadcasters and allow innovative forms of audience participation for the political parties. The proposal, using the hashtag #onlinedebate, has been in preparation for months and was sent to the main party leaders on Thursday following informal talks with politicians.

The cross-platform collaboration would put an online debate before the vast majority of the UK's 55 million internet users, and would be aimed at engaging a younger and more interactive audience.

A live feed could be embedded on any media site and be carried by any broadcasters on traditional TV and radio.

Until now, there has been an assumption that any 2015 election debates will be screened by the existing range of TV channels. But the new alliance claims this is to misunderstand the degree to which traditional boundaries between TV and the web, including newspaper websites, have eroded. For those aged under 44 the internet is now the main source of news, the three news media groups say, arguing that the format would reach an audience often alienated by traditional broadcasters.

of course he's talking nonsense, but if he doesn't like being told he's a bully, then he shouldn't act like one

as for diabetics having a higher incidence of dyslexia, i have never heard such total and utter rubbish in my life

a high % of diabetes is the result of a lousy diet and lifestyle and being overweight
that many then fail to control their blood sugar exacerbates the situation and leads to an even earlier death - my late business partner was a typical example

diabetes really is rather nasty and pernicious, for it slowly eats away from the inside, and there's no actual cure
however, with a proper diet and exercise, it can be very well controlled

Hays so you filtering Fred is a positive action but me filtering Cynic is nonsense, yes I see Hays.

Double standards from yourself as usual.

Nothing changes ehhh Hays.

The only way Ill unfilter him is if he gives a full and unreserved public apology here on this board.

He certainly knew i had Dyslexia Ive told him and the whole thread at least half a dozen times, ask Chris Carson, and Chris had the balls and decency to apologise.

Anyway I like Chris hes like me rough around the edges but you know what your getting.

Everyone here thinks Fred is an idiot. It is just you that has a problem with cynic (apart from Fred).

No they all dont think Fred is an idiot.

Its the likes of Cynic yet again using other people who have built that image up of Fred.

Anyway I look upon Cynic as a coward using actions like he did yesterday evening.

ohhhhh and by the way Cynic as his fair share of detractors they just dont sAY ANYTHING BUT HE KNOWS i RECIEVED A BOX FULL OF COMPLAINTS (pms) AGAINST HIM VERY RECENTLY ON A CERTAIN THREAD and their were some very prominent names from this board amongst them.

Hays Question time coming up,

Caroline Flynt V Ester the poisonous dwarf. Should be very interesting.

Flynt is a street fighter, shel murder the dwarf.

Ester Mcvey getting slaughtered and the guy from the right wing press, moans and groans in the audience. ..........Free Schools.

Mcvey well out of her depth.

Flynt running rings around her.

Tim Stanley was brilliant. When asked why Gove hadn't listened to various people, he said "well he listened to you and listened to other people and did what the other people wanted. That's the way it works".

Flint is just trotting out the usual left wing dogma.

Rubbish Hays Mcvey well out of her depth booing and hissing earlier on same for telegraph bloke.

Scotish asian guy started very well but went downhill after .

Ashdown his normal boring self.

Flynt consistent throughout takes it.

The audience were a bit shocked as Stanley told a few home truths that you can't just have a petition signed by 200,000 and expect to get your way as the other 60m didn't sign it and maybe disagree. It is the typical left wing petulance when they dobpn't get their way. The answer is they were wrong!

Q T

Flynt is a street fighter, shel murder the dwarf. Flint lost a onesided fight.

Paddy Ashdown outclassed Flint and the Scottish guy

Ester Mcvey done ok overall

Tim Stanley was the best , Ashdown a good 2nd

Britons have shifted in favour of voting to stay in the European Union, an exclusive poll reveals today.

More than half the public, 54 per cent, would vote to remain a member of the EU if an in-out referendum was held now. Only 37 per cent say they would vote to leave according to pollsters Ipsos MORI.

The finding is a dramatic turnaround from the voters’ verdict in November 2012 when 48 per cent wanted to leave and 44 per cent to stay.

It means opinion has turned around since David Cameron responded to the rise of Ukip in 2013 by pledging to stage an in-out referendum before the end of 2017.

Britons are deeply divided when offered a wider range of possible options for Britain’s future relationship with Europe. Only 13 per cent want “closer political and economic integration” and just 20 per cent say quitting altogether would be their first choice.

Some 30 per cent would like to return to being part of an economic community, without political links, while 32 per cent would keep things the same.

The survey found evidence that many people who intend to vote Ukip in next week’s European elections may defect to other parties or abstain when it comes to next year’s general election.

Nine per cent were “certain” they will vote for a Ukip MEP next week, but only four per cent felt sure they will back a Ukip candidate at the general election.

In a blow to party leader Nigel Farage, 57 per cent agreed that a vote for Ukip in a general election would be “a wasted vote” — a figure even higher than the 54 per cent who felt the same about voting Liberal Democrat.

But the poll found many people think Ukip has championed issues that the bigger parties ignore.

Some 51 per cent agree Ukip is “highlighting important issues which other parties are not taking seriously enough”.

The figure includes 59 per cent of people who voted Conservative in 2010 and 43 per cent of those who voted Labour. However, over four in 10 people think Ukip is “out of touch with the modern world”.

Gideon Skinner, head of political reseach at Ipsos MORI, said: “Many people clearly can’t see themselves casting a vote for UKIP, especially once the European elections are over.
