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.

Joe Joe Joe ROOT.

UKIP still stuck at the level of zero MPs.

Wrong, Nigel will take 1 seat.

Going to watch Chas and Dave tonight down the smoke Hays?

Quite a party that has an expectation of one seat!

My expectation is no seats.

Yep but theyl still hurt the tories at the next GE and THATS WHAT YOU FEAR Hays.

Hayys,

Come now.

The Party of Cons should get more than one seat!

Whether they deserve more is open to opinion!

Read majority of the previous postings and "question" the use of the word "sex".

Maybe be one could consider the "acts" as hedonistic acts for personal satisfaction.

If the acts are abusive by either force or coercion in anyway and detrimental to either concerned then the actions should be open to the normal course of law.

But many such or similar actions carried out in childhood and adolescence by many young people with little or no consequences, unless their actions are exposed for more public voyeurism at a later date, and subjected to evaluation.

The public outcry about so called "deviant" sex is out of proportion and demonstrate a degree of prudery which is not always practiced.

Sometimes such moral indignation is disproportionate and seems projected or at least self protective.

goldfinger

Were are Chas & Dave playing in London is it in a pub , a old school friend of mine Mike Quinn know's them well and maybe presenting the show

No I was just pulling Hays leg alders, sorry.

Bank of England chief Mark Carney warns cost of living crisis is threatening UK economy
Aug 17, 2014 23:30 By Jack Blanchard

Mr Carney has threatened to raise interest rates despite the fact that British households are 'heavily indebted' after years of falling wages and riding prices

The Bank of England chief has warned that David Cameron’s cost of living crisis is threatening the UK economy.

Mark Carney said yesterday that millions of British households are “heavily indebted” due to years of falling wages and rising prices.

“They haven’t seen real wages increase,” warned the Governor.

And the situation could get even tougher for homeowners as Mr Carney said interest rates would go up.

He said: “We have to have confidence that prospective real wages are going to be growing sustainably.”

But he insisted that the Bank would not wait for that to happen before raising interest rates.

Mr Carney was clear that interest rates will have to rise from their current historic low of 0.5%.

“As the expansion continues , rates are going to go up,” he said. “People should plan accordingly.”

Prime Minister Cameron has repeatedly trumpeted Britain’s economic recovery over recent weeks.

But official statistics released last week showed average wages are falling while inflation has risen to 1.9%.

Mr Carney said Britain is “more than halfway” to economic recovery but that low wages remain one of the key risks to Britain.

“There are multiple headwinds for the British economy,” he said. “A very weak Europe, the persistent strength of the pound... and British households that are still heavily indebted – not least because they haven’t seen real wages increase.”

A report last month by the Resolution Foundation warned the number of households in “debt peril” could double if interest rates rise. The think tank forecast 1.2million households will be spending more than half their disposable income on debt repayments by 2017.

Senior economist Matthew Whittaker said there was a “real prospect” many families could “collapse” under the weight of their debts if mortgage payments rise significantly.

However, Mr Carney promised that interest rate increases “will be limited and gradual”.

Not everyone thinks Boris is the prodigal son...






Does this man want to be Il Duce Borisconi? You decide

Ignore what Boris Johnson says, but pay close attention to his behaviour



http://hat4uk.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/the-big-boris-question-is-he-one-of-us-or-one-of-them/

On reading it again, I agree.

Yes, a real man of the people!

He just wants power and why not. I don't think he would be be a good PM but he would be popular for a while. Good PMs as often not popular.

Boris Johnson is apparently being lined up for the business portfolio and thus as Chuka Umunna’s opposite number.

Chuka Umunna is being lined up by many commentators as being a future leader of the Labour party. So is Boris for the Tories.



This stuff might happen for real in the General Election after this next one.

Who will win the really the very big battle and cross the finishing line first?

from what i have seen of him, CU would be 20x better as a leader that EM
he dresses well, is eminently presentable and comes across very well indeed ..... shame that some voters will have a problem with his name, let alone remembering it!

Mr CU Later?

I remember Chuka Khan , good singer as well

Chuka Umunna's name is a massive problem for people, in that it is not at all easy to remember.
