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.

so fos-fred is still incapable of answering a question for which yes/no would even suffice .... unwilling of course as that does not suit his rather silly agenda whatever he imagines that to be

it's very sad or even a pathetic sight when someone who allegedly had quite a lot of influence finds himself put out to grass and can no longer find a susceptible audience, though his ability to bore to tears has clearly lost none of its edge

A rather bad tempered Alf alert -):

Cynic, who says Fred as been put out to grass!!!!!!

I read his posts and everyone elses posts on here, bar the 6 posters I have filtered. I think 5 of them though are Master RSI alias.

Just because he doesnt fit your stereotype dont think your speaking for everyone.

And why should he answer YOUR questions, youve played that card on me and in my opinion its nothing but public school boy bullying. I ignore you aswel when your being silly, save it for the golf club.

Start acting as a member of the community rather than a distant itinerant who does nothing but complain here and says he doesnt use the thread but statistics shows you use it more often than anyone else.

Well done Sister Christine Frost, she did what the police and LA were scared to do, ripped down the ISIS mudering bast-rds Flag and called them for what they are, scumster thugs.

The sooner people in this country get wise to these minority non supporting British filth the sooner we have a better country. Its playing into UKIPs hands and a lesser amount the BNP.

The relations of these people should OUT THEM.

And if they dont WE should out them and their whole family unit.

GF.

But BNP and libs are a minority, similar to what the con party will be.


Mind, I do see your point!

Ps.

Forget about Manuel, he is just getting a little doddery.

However, sometimes I can see the reasons for euthanasia.

Scottish independence: Salmond refuses to consider currency Plan B

Alex Salmond has refused to be drawn on his back-up plan if an independent Scotland is blocked from sharing the pound and the Bank of England now the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have all ruled out a currency union.

The first minister is facing increasing political pressure to come up with a Plan B after the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, became the latest senior Westminster politician to say he would veto a deal on sterling if Scotland voted for independence next month.

But in an open letter to voters, published in Saturday's edition of The Sun, Salmond wrote: "Plan B implies settling for what's second best. And neither myself, my colleagues in the SNP, or the wider yes campaign will ever settle for second best for Scotland."

He said an independent Scotland would be "willing and able" to take on its share of national debt, but only if it got a fair share of the Bank of England.

The Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Labour have all rejected the idea of a currency union, which would allow Scotland to use sterling and retain the Bank of England as its lender of last resort.

Miliband told Scottish business leaders in Glasgow on Friday that he would make a veto on a currency union a general election pledge if Scotland voted for independence in next month's referendum.

The Labour leader said he saw no case for recommending a euro-style currency union and accused Salmond of wrecking his own case by threatening to default on Scotland's share of the UK's debt, likely to total £1.6tn by 2016.

Asked if that sterling zone veto would be written into Labour's election manifesto if Scotland voted for independence, he said: "Yes. I'm ruling it out now, yes."

because sticky, (a) that particular question was serious and worthy of a proper reply and (b) fos-fred has never once answered a direct question put to him
pah! is all he is worth

also this extract from 44471 was interesting ......
If you don’t like the law, vote in a government who will amend the law to your satisfaction

now it's a funny old life, but when almost exactly that argument was applied about people and companies legally avoiding tax, both you (sticky) and fos-fred jumped up and down with self-righteous indignation ..... a bit strange and hypocritical don't you think, not least because fos-fred is also steadfast in his refusal to vote at all?

Manuel.

An appointment for you is in your appropriate place the kitchen.

As it obvious you may know, unless you are parroting your betters a simple question may have a complex answer and it view of that you would seem likely to be unable to understand it!

I.e to do so for you would seem a waste of time. The latter I haven't got enough of.

I don't vote because I prefer not to and consider it at present to be my right under the present democratic system.

If you wish to change it, so be it, but consider your own position in so doing so.

I don't consider the energy necessary to explain to you things which are probably beyond your comprehension, at any time, especially on a balmy night in the Dordogne, while explaining the differences between tactics and strategy to my grandchild, who is beating me at chess, while being amused by enquiring into the family history of his antecedents.

The responses are adequate to you obtuse question are satisfactory for me, if you don't like them, so be it.


Perhaps, you should concentrate on the world's public response to Israeli's Putin's responses to the Gaza problems.

Have nice dreams.

Ohhhhhhhh come off it Cyners , lets face it all this leads back to that debate....... OK TANKER and I kicked your ass, so what........ your still a great person a chap I think is worth a awfull lot as an individual. (and others nearly all the board think that)

At times we all get creamed, so what.

Lighten up im still your best pal.

Please just dont DEMAND this and that, its not the thing to do.

So come on now and stop being bloody silly.

AND, ps, if Fred did the same Id be kicking his balls.

BOTH OF YOU LETS HAVE A WEEKEND STAND OFF.

i think fos-fred is a total arsehole and i know the feeling is mutual, but hence why i almost never bother to read his posts

Labour fears brain drain with 15% of MPs ready to quit

Doubts about Ed Miliband's leadership are said to be driving an exodus in the runup to next year's general election

More than 15% of Ed Miliband's MPs are set to quit parliament before the next election, raising fears among senior Labour figures of a "brain drain". Thirty Labour MPs – 15 with ministerial experience – have announced that they are leaving, despite polls suggesting that the party will form the next government.

A senior Labour party source said it expected at least 10 more of its MPs to stand down before the election, pushing the proportion of those leaving to 15.5% of the parliamentary party. Before Labour came to power in 1997 under Tony Blair, only 8% of the party's MPs quit. A source said: "There's not enough excitement about Ed. Some worry about him losing the general election, and some worry about him winning it."

Cynic is right about Fred , there are only about 2 to 3 posters on here that don't think he is a arsehole , goldfinger and Stan and one other

Manuel,

You are, as well as doddery, becoming more and more inconsistent.

Claiming you never bothering to read other peoples post, finding any other than your own opinions boring and yet quoting from post written by those who bore you.

Eg, post 44771 when you quote the last sentence verbatim.

I suppose some individuals decline fast than others.

But I think some of the decline is due to your, Hazy One's and some of your cahoots' panicking at the thought of a Labour government with a massive majority after the next election.
======================

Maxk,

Perhaps, after the lousy lying leadership of PR stuntmen Blair and Cameron we would benefit from a more mundane form of government with policies discussed and decided by cabinet decisions rather than the shooting blanks from the hips by the likes of Cameron and Boris who rely on burnt out sycophants for their support.

Charisma is one of the last things we need at the moment.
=========

Mind every theatre needs a clown and the Boris would fill that role at the Palace of Westminster perfectly, perhaps with Manuel as Widow Twankey or a butler.

Max,

By the way, what are the names of the retiring labour MPs and how old are they?

How many of the present Con party member's of the present motley crew will stand down or not be elected?

For Exec and camarades,

True.

We do want the best players on the field.

However, there's nothing wrong with it. But there is if you have a 'lefty' point of view about things all the time, which is 'anti' any kind of competitiveness.

Boris will keep Cameron on his toes for sure. Cameron will therefore try harder to do a better job. Hopefully, we will benefit from it.

The next thing I would like to see our government do is to fight ISIS with 'as much as we can muster and a lot more besides' and try to destroy it.
