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.

Sorry, but I must ask, how long is their winter?

Fishfinger,

Maybe you should remind Clare that, to get that great quality of life, she'll be paying some of the highest taxes on the planet, that her winters are some of the most miserable on the planet, that the Swedes are just about the sickest race on the planet, and that Sweden has a higher immigration problem than the UK. 15% of Swedish residents are foreign nationals, and, in some suburbs, up to 80% are 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants - that's what the high taxation is paying to support. And here's a picture of the great life that Swedes living in Stockholm get to enjoy:



But I'm sure Tanker would like it there.

Hairy one, are you an emigrant?

Has this CALAIS stuff just taken off again , or is it just the Press picking up on it again. I think those Afgans in the container may be the reason . They should have gone straight back , but have applied for Asylum, sounds harsh but this is going to get very bad.

Something for you to look forward to when you return to the UK!

I thought Sweden they had one of the highest suicide rates in Europe ?

The Greens Committee will be going nuts .

Yep Hilary, but the Birds are the sexiest on the planet and arent slow at coming forward.

Alders yep you are right its all that sex they get , they are totaly shag-ed out most of the time LOL, nope I hear its because its mostly light all year round, some how it depresses human beings.

PS, looks like I missed the Scottish yes vote off Clares tweet, sorry about that, it was probably saying this is how Scotland COULD BE if you vote yes.

yes just checked on twitter, she had it in a small caption.

Should have used Spec Savers.

Why would anyone with even half a brain cell store naughty pictures of themselves on a remote computer?




Apple tightens iCloud security after celebrity nude photo hack

Sorry saga here: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/05/apple-tightens-icloud-security-after-celebrity-nude-photo-hack

this is clearly the very silly season as this discussion went round and round and round a couple of months back ......

legal tax avoidance
HMRC is not remotely interested in morals or morality

if legal tax avoidance is legal, then it is a personal choice as to whether or not you pour your money down the gov't's throat, or avail yourself of those permissions and give it to your children, battersea dog's home or whatever

if you don't like the legal tax avoidance currently in place then become an activist and vote to change it

Tax avoidance is sensible and not immoral. Income tax was introduced as a temporary measure to fund a war. There are plenty of people who do not agree with income tax at all. If you cen get away with paying less or no income tax then you should. The fuss about tax is big at present because we have been in a recession and people are earning less in real terms. It is the politics of envy again. If we were in a boom, tax would not be a story that anyone would be interested in.

Amazon, Starbucks, Google and other companies are just doing what all multinational companies have done for at least 100 years.
