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.

Doc,

Are they offering grouse at any of the food banks, would you happen to know?

It is an acquired taste and a bit fiddly to eat. There also the health and safety aspects due to the lead shot A better alternative might be grouse nuggets. The savoury breadcrumbs would help with the taste shock of real food.

Couldn't they be deep fried in batter? The scavengers would probably prefer them that way.

Gotta just say that I do love wood pigeon. Cooked rare with the blood oozing, served with crispy bacon, parmesan shavings, and a dressed side salad.

Skinny,

Timothy Taylor Boltmaker wins the GBB of the year.

I remember Fat Dave sunning himself on the beaches of France when the London Riots were on.

Took him 4 days to bother and come back. The rain stopped the rioters.

Not much of a leader is he.

Sources say yet again William Hague is having to shore the sinking ship up.

Little wonder Labour are now again opening up wider poll increases.

There was no reason for Cameron to return from holiday. It was a police event. A Prime Minister needs a holiday.

Hilary,

I thought your earlier post was requesting information as you were hoping to get a job as a waitress at one of the food banks.

I should have guessed!

GF.

Think it would give Labour a majority of about 60 seats.

Should be enough to bring in some interesting policies and investigate a some of the dodgier aspects of the city!

It was interesting reading this after what we know now, but if you view the comment's you will find a lot have been deleted because they didn't comply with house rules.Maybe victims of Saville were posting what he was really like. Well it was a BBC website after all.

Hays stop being stupid.

Sad to see Robin Williams took his own life yesterday .

Pressure from Debts Jimmy.

Very sad.

He was a genious.

Debts ?? i thought he was depressed .He must have been loaded .

Ok just looked up the news ,it does seem he had spent and paid out a lot of his cash , i wonder if work was not coming his way ? , you wouldn't think so but who knows .

My favourite memory of him is , i was watching Good Morning America while living in the US and he was making the hosts laugh so much they had to keep going to a commercial break , he was nuts but a real one off and intelligent .

There are 5 Robin Williams films in post production at the moment. He doesn't seem Broke.

2 divorces have cost him over £20 million dollars.

Thats why he was approaching Bankruptcy.

'Good will Hunting' was my favourite.

How taxpayers helped fund £1m home of minister who can't live on MP's pay

Foreign Office minister bought seven-bedroom 17th century abbey set in 15 acres of land after selling his taxpayer-funded home in London for £1.2 million

A foreign office minister who resigned from the Government after claiming his expenses were too meagre used a windfall from the sale of his taxpayer-funded home to buy a £1 million former abbey in his constituency.


Mark Simmonds sold his home in Putney, South London, for £1.2 million in 2010, making a profit of more than £500,000.


He used his expenses to claim the mortgage interest payments on the property for almost the entire time he owned it.


He and his wife then bought Swineshead Abbey in Lincolnshire for £900,000, a Grade II listed 17th century building with seven bedrooms, stables, a heated outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court and 15 acres of parkland.
