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.

Not this but just on SKY........... 9 month high SP on OIL

I an just having a messy lunch of chicken fajitas at Chez Bob in Belsize Park, Hampstead. Those food bank customers should lunch here, much nicer. The white wine was excellent.

Trussel Trust is cutting back on food banks. OECD has said that people are finding it easier to pay for their food.

42441 - didn't you keep posting similar for weeks weeks and weeks weeks ago?

and your point about a spike in the oil price is what exactly?

I wonder what GUY FAWKES is doing this weekend.

Hays, Domestic property Rates and the Rateable Value of a house was based on among other things the number of bedrooms a house had.

This was the forerunner of the community charge (poll tax).

And who introduced it.......yes the Tory Party

Hence you the Tories invented the Bedroom Tax

Comprende??????

go and take a powder sticky
you're getting very defensively aggressive on this gloriously sunny afternoon and one of your yorkies has just scored a double century too

Cynic you talking to me???? Ive already said .........increased inflation and increased interest rates.

Surely you can understand that.

Are you getting worried about that groveling apology you have to give to the whole thread????????????????

Rooty yes hes a relation of mine.

GF,

Paragraph 8,

Do we still have more than a gunboat left?


I thought Cameron and Osborne had flogged the rest to pay down the UK debt and bolster exports, which should improve with higher interest rates etc..

GF,

Cons don't apologise.


That is part of their indoctrination.


I wonder if we could have an enquiry about what is taught at Eton.

Think there is some far right indoctrination carried out there!

Cut their tax relief, charity status and subsidies at the expense of the poor tax payer!

Rates have always been based on bedrooms etc. It is nothing to do with Thatcher or Poll tax. Poll tax was based on working age occupants.

Im led to believe Fred we have 2 cariers but no planes to put on them.

I think Teresa May as her eye on them as provision for floating prisons when the Riots start this summer.

Problem is Boris's cannons dont fire that far, so I understand Theresa is secretly negotiating with Call Me Dave to set them up as temporary fountains to be sited in Trafalgar Square.

i sometimes despair of you two numpty comedians :-)

fred - i know you tease, and no i didn't go to eton, but it really is a very very good school indeed even if badly and sadly maligned by you lefties with severe shoulder-chips

The Rates were the brain child of the tories the fore runner of the poll Tax , so their you are, you have admitted the Tories invented the bedroom tax.

Your just playing with words hays.

Forget anything H/S has to say today if I was you, as he's posted this twice within a couple of hours on here.

"I an just having a messy lunch of chicken fajitas at Chez Bob in Belsize Park, Hampstead. Those food bank customers should lunch here, much nicer. The white wine was excellent."

I would have some more food with that wine if I was you -):

At least it makes a change from the repetitive drivel you've been posting recently about going to live in the Shetlands (or wherever it was) then!!!

One of these prisoners on the run, serving a LIFE SENTENCE.

Just been on radio 5.

89 escaped in total.

Oh dear Theresa what on earth are you doing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Domestic rates based on your property has been around for many years before Thatcher. I used to pay it in the 1960s. As far as I know it has been around since before WWII.

i do wish you'ld try to post stories accurately for a change
