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.

And what about sporting golf genius Rory McIlroy then?

Following up his victory at the Open Championship he now wins the USPGA Championship!

This was his fourth major championship win out of the last 15 played, and all at the age of just 25.

Utterly brilliant, eh?

Is Warsi splitting the con party like peas from a pod.





I wonder where Boris Karloff is?

Joining Farage in the party of kippers.

Rory McIlroy
i had every intention of watching this through to the end, but when the heavens opened and play was suspended for 2 hours, and then Rory looked totally out of sorts and had fallen 3 off the pace, i decided, absolutely wrongly, that staying up until 02:00 was not worth the effort.

what amazing strength of character, and what a cracking finale it must have been to watch; real nailbiting stuff

MaxK,

The most important war is Ukraine and Russia.

Europe believes that whatever Russia says is lies and anything Kiev says is 100% accurate and should be acted upon. This trend is very dangerous for the whole Europe and, unfortunately has reached to the point of no return for Europe!!! Most unfortunate is that Kiev government is given all the power to lead 400mln European to ... any direction it likes. IMHO

Kiev does not need to do anything, just a couple of more accusations against Russia ....

What do you think?

Whoops!.. Simmons has gone now http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28737781

Unrelated to anything current as he was minister for Africa.

LOL.

Just one more deserting a sinking vessel.

A little rant.

N-Power are messing me about.

I've just moved away from them with both Gas and Electricity and so require a Final Bill. My account when I moved showed £275.50 in Credit. It now doesn't show that and only refers to my last D/D payment and its date back in June.

To compile my Final Bill, then of course Final Readings are required.

Since the new supplier has my Opening Readings (called 'Industry' Readings as against 'Customer' readings) then it is clearly obvious that both of my meters have been read and NPower do have this information.

What is the hold up in sending me my Final Bill and the change from my £275.50 Credit?

My Direct Debit with NPower is still 'open'.

I am beginning to start blaming the Tory government for letting these useless, administratively incompetent Energy companies get away with scamming and usurping from the general public.

There are millions of us now suffering from deliberately contrived incompetence to maximise profitability to the 'Nth' degree. We have had it from banks and we get it from the Energy 'Big 6' and I suspect we are soon to get it from the NHS (Yes. It has been privatised I do now believe)
One more month and I will DEFINITELY be turning my vote over to the Labour Party who I sincerely hope will nationalise these industries.

THEY WILL, THEY WILL.........WELCOME ABOARD COMRADE.

ExecLine - I've just changed suppliers as well and was asked by my new supplier to supply a photograph of my meter readings in case of any dispute with my old supplier regarding the validity of the readings ! I would have thought it the responsibilty of the suppliers to validate the readings.

Exec,

What have you been putting in your water.

Whatever it is give some to Haze and Cynic.

8-)

LOL.

UK - YouGov poll: if Cameron resigned after 2015 election, preferred party leader by CON voters:

Johnson 41%
May 15%
Osborne 11%
Gove 5%

That's a very silly poll. It is more important who the MPs want and Boris is not that popular with them.

Is it worth changing ? the only change i made was going from Southern electricty to British gas for duel power, on their website you can just click on to get your credit sent to your bank account.

For the average user its not worth changing, one drops their price then a few weeks/months later your old supply does the same.

I vote for Boris , even London Labour voter's like him.

Haystack

It is more important who the MPs want and Boris is not that popular with them.

That's were you are wrong , he has a lot of surport on his anti EU stance and he is their only chance of staying in power.

The voting system is such that only candidates that pass the MPs' vote are put forward to the local activists for their vote. In the last leader election, there were lots of candidates such as Ken Clarke, Liam Fox etc. Only David Davies and Cameron got through the vote from the MPs. Ken Clarke was the favourite amongst the local activists, but the MPs thought he was too pro Europe.

At least you knew where Ken Clarke stood.
