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.

Ps.

How many chances are the cons giving Cameron.

But who is in the party to replace the Captain!

Haze,

I not sure what medication, if any, you are taking, but when I hear some of the R/winged media editors and you talking or posting about the Leveson enquiry and the interpretation consequence of the acquittal Rebecca Brookes, I would suggest a quick review of treatment, or the absence of such.

Leveson's recommendations must be fully implemented. If the tories duck it, then Miliband will make it part of the next G/E manifesto.

Loan firm’s wonga buys the ears of ministers
Interesting connection.

Conservative ministers agreed to hold meetings with the controversial payday loans company Wonga in exchange for payments to the party, The Daily Telegraph has learnt.

All boys together!

But they are dumping the wrong sailor!

what a mess they've made of all sorts of things in this last week alone

He will be eating his Junket in Jankers later!

Must be very frustrating being a Tory Boy at present after this weeks escapades.

They're all at it gf, the toyrgraph cartoon summed it up nicely.

Reptiles, the lot of them!

GF,
Just C+P from Youguv comments:

"just listened to PMQ's for the first time.

I heard a guy who is not remotely sorry. I heard a guy who was quite clearly offering no apology. I heard a guy try to justify his position more than three times by saying that Levenson had found no cause to criticise him.


Now correct me if I am wrong. Isn't this the same guy who rushed out an unreserved apology for his part in this fiasco?"

=====-


Also many are considering voting "UKIP to get rid of Cameron".


How true!
=======

Ps.

Now he has to apologise for the apology.

No wonder Europe doesn't want him!

Is that Gordon Brown standing in the middle ? Fred's working class hero with the moral compass.

should be good 2nite if they have a few top names on it

cynic

You go to Dubai often , is that what it's like ? Some of it sounds more like the Philippines.




The Dubai Nobody Tells You About



Dubai is the land of the biggest, tallest, longest, widest, richest,fanciest,fastest...everything is ... in the world

They have the tallest residential towers in the world, the tallest restaurant in the world, the largest number of Malbaris in the world, the highest crane operator in the world.



If it does not grow in Dubai , they'll make it artificially - artificial ski slopes, artificial islands, artificial oasis, coconut trees and lawns, artificial beaches, artificial economy.

Indians especially love it here because of the dirham-to-rupee value. Pakistanis adore it.


The Egyptians come here because there is nothing to do in Egypt. No more pyramids to build either.

The Filipinos come here because they have no choice; there is nothing back home, not even dogs - they've been eaten up.



The Brits come here coz they have forgotten what it is to enjoy 3 meals a day in UK and nobody employs them there for the crap they give.

The Lebanese come here to buy cars, dress to kill, wear Peter Pan shoes 10 sizes bigger than their feet, put 1 kg of gel on their heads and give everyone ball talk. They'll buy a 1980s Merc or BMW for 10k dirhams and drive the car like they​are sitting in the rear passenger seat, stretching their arms all the way to the steering wheel, giving you the piercing bald eagle look.


Russian girls come here as "Hookers".

The Bangladeshis come here to serve you when you honk outside a Baklava (shop), but would not even look at you if you park and go inside to pickup yourself.

Now according to the government Dubai is Tax free. Of course, that is true. You only have to pay for the visa, medical, sponsor, insurance, resident ID, Opening a bank account or even closing an account, Municipality, Sewerage, attestation of papers, translation of papers, driving license papers, lessons, Car license, testing, and ... but the salary is Tax Free.

Only, there is a Pay and Park scheme with 5000 parking lots, and 500,000 cars in the city, so where the hell do you park? And you are fined for wrong parking.

Toll has been introduced on many roads. You can avoid the toll tax by using alternative routes, but you'll end up in a traffic jam because everyone is trying to avoid the toll tax.

If you have any government related work like medicals for visa or immigration, you have 2 options - Standard and Urgent Procedure. Standard takes 15 days and Urgent takes 2 days. The difference is 30 to 40-odd dirhams. Everyone goes for the urgent option and the Dubai government makes money, urgently.

If you switch jobs you get a work ban and to lift the ban you pay a huge penalty.

In Dubai , without a car you are paralyzed (you don’t even get jobs if you don’t have a car). But you 'll get your license in attempts ranging from 2 to 20. Each time you fail you have paid fees for Driving classes & Driving Tests, which are 1000-odd dirhams. Imagine the money RTA makes.


Most of the expats live alone with families back home. So they spend much on phone calls. And call charges from Dubai are high.

Another odd thing about Dubai - no matter where you go or who you meet, you take down phone numbers. Everybody has everybody’s number in Dubai . And everyone has a Visiting Card, whether you are a bootlegger, a masseuse, a hooker, a car cleaner, a watchman or a pizza delivery boy. Everyone knocks around with lots of cards in his or her wallet and one card in the palm. So whenever you shake hands with anyone in Dubai and let go, you end up with a visiting card in your palm.

If you are walking on the road and you ask someone the time, he'll tell you 10:30, give you his card and say, I have new and second-hand watches.

At a restaurant when you are leaving they'll say Here is my card, call us for home delivery.

If you're below your building, you'll meet those Chinese chicks giving you their cards, saying, Call us if you want DVDs.

If you are standing at a bus stop, a Pakistani will pull over in his 1980 Toyota Corolla, give you his card and say, If you want Pick-up & Drop Service, call me.

Dubai has amusing-looking buildings. Some have holes in them, some have giant balls on them, some look like aeroplanes, some look like sail boats, and all of them reach into space with your window right in front of the moon.

Everyone in Dubai goes to malls. Not necessarily to shop. To beat the heat, go to a mall; business meeting, go to a mall; getting bored, go to a mall; want to take a leak or dump, go to a mall; want to do lukhagiri (little in your pocket, little in your mind), go to a mall. If you want to go for a picnic go to a mall.

Some Keralites go home to Kerala, get married, and then come to a Dubai Mall for their honeymoon.

THAT...MY FRIENDS.....IS DO-BUY

Cameron has got to go and so as Clegg , or Labour will win . They need someone without form, from outside of goverment . Boris Johnson would be my choice.

Did I hear that Rupert Murdoch is dropping into No 10 to have a chat with his old mate Cameron about smears for the coming G/E?

I would suppose he wants to know if he can he land on the back lawn of No 10. to save opening the back gate.
