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.

Cynic well your wrong because I watched it life most of the night and UKIP gains by and large were Tory losses.

Ok they have taken a few off labour but by no way on the scale as tory to UKIP.

conservatives had most seats to lose and any incumbent party rightly expects the opposition to make significant gains .... however, even labour are forced to admit that their success has fallen well short of what they could reasonably have hoped

hung parliament remains strongest bet

I'd hang them all...

lol

Conservatives have won Kingston upon Thames from Libs.

It is now yes I agree but dont forget the bet is still on for the apology 'I got interest rates wrong'.

Its gong to happen cynic sooner than you think.

Underlying inflation RPI is roaring away.

Carney cant keep ignoring it and wages will fall once again below prices.

Those who had a good feeling about recovery will change overnight.

Ive been very consistent on this, and you know that.

absolutely old chap :-))
i have no problem apologising when i'm in the wrong - i've had plenty of practice!

Gawd this is going to be an exhausting next twelve months , my fingers needing some physio.

Prediction hung parliament with Labour short of majority by 18.

Shortie is that an ACTUAL picture.

I believe a great many ordinary people are also sick to death of being told they're racist bigots, when all they want is to live in a Britain they can recognise as Britain, not a suburb of Islamabad or Peshawar.

Labour

Hays theirs plenty of results to come in yet.

Lots of bad results for Labour!

MaxK isn't that a sight to behold someone saying that .

Im not in politics but by maths I dont how bad result is this 1400 seats, 28 counsils ..no one get close to it.

It looked like a picture to me...

max - but they like their corner shop, indian and chinese (and japanese) restaurants, and of course their turkish doner kebabs; the odd salt beef sandwich is also often more than welcome
