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.

FOOD.

Breakfast...... boiled egg

Lunch ....... Beans on toast

Tea......... Salmon paste sandwich

supper..... piece of toast

Multiply by 7 times per week, at most £15 per week.

ENERGY, heating and hot water. £15 per week at most, 1 bar on fire.

PAPER....just weekends 70px 2 =£1.40

ANNUAL CHARGES, insurance, water rates, phone £2 per week.

Total =£33.40p.

PENSION £113

Therefore £79.60 for savings each week.

LOOKS A DAM GOOD DEAL TO ME PERHAPHS IDS SHOULD THINK OF LOWERING IT £50 per week.

That could go to Foreign Aid help India fatten the cows up.

See TANKER all a Fuss about nothing.

ed waving the white flag not a leader a wimp who should be in a hospital ward for the insane .

TANKER TANKER, I worship the ground Milly stands on.

Dont forget hes going to help you with Gas and Electic costs by putting a cap on them, and Ive heard whispers that the cold weather payment will go up from £300 to £400 plus the xmas bonus is being doubled to £20.

Tories wont give you that.

I will never forget how it was Gordon, that rescued my IceSave savings too. And how Dave and Dave, well, just gave me lousy rotten low interest rates.

Yes. I may well vote Labour or even UKIP or even Tory if they increase savings rates.

Hmmm?

£400 you say, GF?

And a free cap to wear for your electric and another one for your gas too?

By 'eck lad! I'm in! Well, I'm near to at least sitting on the fence. Please tell me some more.

BOVRIL vouchers. 5 per week.

Xmas bonus too, Mili - Claus no ring to that, unless that well known hard man of football Vinny Ed Balls brings Mili a sack full of money to pay for it all, but you would have to wonder where it came from.

2517,

I don't think Miliband is a con artist.

Actually, I think he is bright and trying to consider and frame future policies.

He has a hostile media, who I think have bought and been bought by the Right winged reactionary lobby.

He would be a fool to spell out the details of "projects" 9 months ahead of the G.E., even if they are fully considered and formed, especially when the rags and gutter press are out to denigrate him at any opportunity. Also, nobody knows including the tories, know what chaos the present coalition will leave behind them.

But I guess he is kicking himself for his apparent "stupidity" over his recent speech, and I can remember, from running two day workshops years ago, I had my program and notes written our in detail, because I was apprehensive of doing similar. I rarely referred to my notes but checked my program

From what I heard of the speech, it wasn't one of his best, but some of it has gone down well with parts of the probable Labour voters.

I think Miliband, if PM, will attempt to produce more consensual form of government and attempt to address some of the fragmentation and alienation which has been caused by the present mob.

======

I find it is interesting how the press and individuals like haze are more interested in killing the messenger rather than reading the message.

The message is that the public think this government is a bunch of liars and they don't trust them.

FRED SPOT ON.......

"The message is that the public think this government is a bunch of liars and thy don't trust them".

''what chaos the present coalition will leave behind them''. It won't be any worse than what they (coalition) walked into.

''attempt to address some of the fragmentation and alienation which has been caused by the present mob''.
You mean by not having an English Parliament?'' and not support Help for Heroes. Good luck with that.

i think the public is disillusioned with ALL politicians, which is what gives farage and his bunch of merry men a toehold

No just Tory politicians.

believe that and you'll believe anything, but then perhaps you do :-)
