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.

gf my pensions and my good lady clear over 45k after tax and most index
then our divs of over 35k a year that is why we have a great life and give loads to hospice and blind never give to children in need

My God man your the one begging for a bigger pension. What does that say of you!!!!!!!!

You should have made provision for your elder years when you were working.

It all your fault nobody elses.

You shouldnt have gone out to the pub 7 night s per week.

Well what are you complaining at then.

£60 quid and a ration book is what Id give you.

Nice warm blanket, one band on the fire and a packet of Fishermans Freinds.

A tin of toffees at christmas.

I also have and my good lady the full amount in isa and will never need to touch it but ever so often draw out 48k my two girls get their tickets for Cheltenham and always win 24k each lucky girls have done this also may times now do it for my grand children who are over 18 they also win at the races very luck gamblers

was going to cost del sol Friday now gong back to Portugal on sunday a friend in need of my help

YOU NEVER GIVE TO CHILDREN IN NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how dispicable. SHAME ON YOU.

I always give, thousands of pounds awel, and I tape it. Im on about the the third DVD of 1999 and I watch them at least 5 times over.

Shame on you, shame on you.

CiN is not on my list of charities which i support either
i also refuse point blank to support any african or indian or similar based charities (too much gets filched), nor any that are religiously tagged (christian aid; youth aliyah)

my own faves are macmillan and admiral nurses, airforce benevolent, lifeboats, poppy appeal, air ambulance and st mungo's

I always give to the poppy appeal and children's charities.... I used to support the rainbow trust until I realised just how badly they manage their funds... I never give to cats and dogs or in general any foreign charity..

Sally Army

if you can not feed them do not have them . stop breeding like rats and they will not suffer

cynic for once I agree

Oxfam only 5% gets to the poor fact read about were the money goes in Oxfam all facts

oxfam is on my banned list too but should have added british heart foundation

gf tell a look at what the chief gets at CHILDREN IN NEED then comment and not before

Considering the size of the charity and everything it does the chief should be rewarded..!! I'm sure the chief earns every penny, unlike the CEO's within half of the FTSE 100 companies..

Tanker - Bet your the kind of person that doesn't buy sweets or put out a pumpkin for the kids at Halloween, celebrate Christmas, Easter or Guy Fawkes... Bah Humbug!!

worth reading the whole of this article which i just came across on Yahoo - editor's picks......

Crime-fighting London Jews claim model for Muslim cooperation
The work of the 25-strong "Shomrim" patrol in London has caught the eye of US Secretary of State John Kerry, who praised the neighbourhood patrol group's "remarkable courage"

Members of the Haredi Jewish community in Stamford Hill formed the group -- named after the Yiddish word for guards -- in 2008 in response to high crime levels

The unusual sight of crime-fighting Orthodox Jews pounding the streets of a tough London neighbourhood after dark has captured the attention of grateful locals, but their ongoing protection of local Muslims has seen their profile go global.

It seems that Cameron was shouting his mouth off on "devolution for Scotland" and now can't deliver.

U-turn after U-turn. Lie and lie. U-turn after U-turn. Lie and lie. U-turn after U-turn. Lie and lie. U-turn after U-turn. Lie and lie.

The Scots won't forget!

As a Scot, I totally agree Fred!:-)
