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.

A man bought a farmhouse, which had lay vacant for many years, for himself and his wife. There was a bit of a problem in that it came with a barn which was completely welded shut. No one knew what was inside.

He took a chance and bought the Portuguese property at a knock down price and then picked up a grinder to open the barn door....................

"US Will Feel Tangible Losses,"

Russia Prepares To Unleash Retaliatory Trade Wars


Tyler Durden on 07/30/2014 12:33 -0400


"It's a troubling continuation/expansion of trade as a geopolitical tool," warns one Washington-based consulting firm as Russia prepares to unleash retaliatory actions to US and European sanctions. As Bloomberg reports, Russia said yesterday it may ban imports of chicken from the U.S. and fruit from Europe and is investigating McDonald's cheese for safety. In addition, a Russian lawmaker has drafted legislation that might result in U.S. accounting firms being barred from doing business in his country. All of this is odd given Jack "trust me" Lew's reassurance that Russian sanctions would have no impact on the US economy. Russia's response, US will feel 'tangible losses' from 'destructive, myopic' sanctions.

Ed Miliband's shadow cabinet sound like they are giving postgraduate lectures, Frank Dobson says

The former Labour Health Secretary, who is stepping down at the election, warns the inner circle of the party's leader are 'useless'






6:41PM BST 30 Jul 2014





Ed Miliband’s inner circle are “useless” and his shadow cabinet are only capable of delivering “postgraduate lectures” instead of simple policies voters can understand, a former Labour cabinet minister has said.


Asked if those closest to the Labour leader are useless Frank Dobson, the former Secretary of State for Health, agreed enthusiastically before clarifying that “not of sufficient quality and clarity” was a more accurate description.

Great News for Hard Working People, Inflation has risen by 14.5% since 2010... while your wages have gone back to 2002 levels #votetory

The table above shows the trend going away from Labour. UKIP will crash and burn.

ha ha ha he he he ho ho ho ho.

Labour just need a 9% UKIP GE share and they are home and dry.

Hays you have again like your leader been telling porkies.

Naughty naughty boy.

You should apologise to Max for misleading him, though I suspect Max knew all along you were a fantasy merchant.

Osborne has the autumn budget adjustment event and a real budget just before the GE. Plenty of scope for a few feel good giveaways.

Come the election everything will return to good order. UKIP will collapse, the Libs will rise again. Labour will show themselves as bufoons and Cameron will win.

LOL, brilliant one Max.

hay, you are a simpleton

Why do the words 'pot', 'kettle' and 'black' spring to mind?

Fishfinger,

The only thing your table shows is that Conservative support halted its decline a year ago and has been rising ever since, and that recent UKIP support has been coming from disillusioned Labour and LibDem voters. UKIP already had their share of the Conservative vote from back in 2011 and 2012, it's not going to rise any further, and it will decline in the run up to the election as the right-wingers realise that UKIP won't get any seats and return to the Tory fold.

As a die-in-the-wood commie, I'd be afraid if I were you. Very afraid.

hilary their you go again. It was inevitable that labours early large lead would be cut back, and this as happened throughout the history of polling. The party in power regains the protest votes from the other large party.

The UKIP vote as recently got stronger not weaker, put your specs on.

We are now at the stage where you wont take any more votes from labour so you have to make inroads into the UKIP and Lib/Dem camps.

Will you do this?, perhaphs youl get a few, very few UKIP votes back but not the contraction to 9% of the vote that would put labour into an overal majority.

TANKER is seeing exactly what Im seeing at my local Tory club, frustrated long life tory voters sick to the back teeth of Camoron and his parties limp response to the EEC bafoons and prepared to take the chance labour will get in. They have had enough of Europe, its the same everywhere you go in the North and the Tories to win the election HAVE to do well in the North. They wont.

Lib/Dem ......I suspect youl lose a few disolusionised voters back to them, yawn, wet libs have always been the same.

The fact is you CANNOT GET OVER THE LINE..

It will be close and Hays is right for once Giddeon will action a few give aways which will be more than matched by an increase in interest rates, possibly 2 hikes.

On a personal note Im a supporter of responsible Capitalism and have always been a floating voter, But I wont put rich lying boys back into power, The Tories have only themselves to blame.

The trouble with that's stance gf, is that Millibandus is a rich boy too!

Lots of Miliband's party its supporters are rich. This is why there will be no tax on assets. Labour may posture about mansion taxes, but they won't happen. There will just be hikes in income tax as usual.

Max he went to a comprehensive school. Big difference betweent that and ETON.
