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.

Thanks ExecLine....saw the baby elephant story on the internet...cheers...

Have another read.

I don't think you can have seen, that this baby came from a 'slaughtered by poachers herd', which had a size of 100 elephants.

:-(

On the BBC internet news site.....I watch that more than the TV news....not too keen on seeing the slaughter....the rescue yes.....something needs to done about the murdering negro poachers out there...

It stretches back to the murdering Chinese who buy the ivory. You won't stop the poaching while there is a market for the tusks. The poachers have no interest in the elephants and just want some money. There will always be be people willing to do something illegal for cash.

Haystack is that the right person for Clacton.

Hmmm?

On the one hand you say:

"Heavens help those who badly treat elephants and I catch up with them...."

And then on the other hand a little later, after you've read about a big herd of 100 elephants being slaughtered, you say:

not too keen on seeing the slaughter....

Hmmm? Your opinions just don't seem to equate, IMHO.

Ten Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia, announced during a visit by John Kerry, secretary of state, that they would join the US in a strategy to destroy the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, known as Isis, “wherever it is, including in both Iraq and Syria”.


oh really?????
and from where do ISIS get swathes of money?

Stop asking awkward questions c.

i assume you also noted that, inter alia, russia opposes air strikes against ISIS
why would that be?

No idea c.

Buit it could be a touch of the old "my enemies enemy is my friend"

Russia is opposing strikes against ISIS in Syria as they support Assad. Russia is worried that US involvement in Syria may spill over into fighting Assad. Syria is almost Russia's only sphere of influence in the ME.

My tip for today

Buy shares in a company that make's Union Jacks , because they will get a lot of order's if the vote is YES.

HAYS....sad news........
