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.

Anyone fancy a coffee?

i really cannot see the attraction let alone sexiness of that self-publicist with or without photoshop

Anyone know anyone on here with half a dozen foreign villas or similar?

I cant see why that kardashian bint gets so much publicity.

Especially about her Boris bus sized arse....deformed imo.

It seems both of you know her bottom well.

Good to see Wavy Dave throwing his sponges at Putin.

I wonder if Putin will park some of his toys in the Thames estuary as a parking.

Or perhaps Carmeron and Hammond look for the carriers and Defence forces who haven't been retired to man the boat.

Cameron behaves once again like the school play ground bully, ready to hide behind Nursey.

What a ????

Perhaps, they can send Nigel and his group, who should be pensioned off, to form the New Home Guards with fixed bayonets and pints of beer!

Big arses like that have a strong appeal to some people. I can't see why.

Fred's a little arse

Hays,

There must be somebody who even you appeal to.

Doubt that many would understand why?

Trust Aldgit to have an opinion on arses.. I wonder why.

SNP name their price: Abandon Trident to put Miliband n Downing Street.

They are as funny as Labour. SNP will have no more power than they did at the last election. The total of SNP + Labour will be the same whether SNP gets Labour's seats or not and that total will probably not be enough. Apart from anything, Labour support Trident.

Do you think a minority Conservative government would work better than a coalition Haystack?

If people thought Salmond was a barrowload of monkies then just wait until Nicola Sturgeon gets stuck in!

ComRes/Sunday Indy – CON 30, LAB 34, LD 8, UKIP 19, GRN 3

Populus’s Friday poll had topline figures of CON 33%, LAB 35%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 13%

It is going to be an interesting couple of days after the GE. The party with the most number of seats irrespective of a majority will have the first chance to form a government. There is a good chance that it may be the Conservatives, especially if the SNP takes many seats from Labour. Of course, the Conservatives may not have a majority. It might just be the most seats. They could form a minority government. It would be difficult to operate that way.

If the Conservatives were the biggest party due to Labour losing seats to SNP then the Conservatives could form a minority government that could survive for a long time as the law says 5 years to the next election. There could be a vote of no confidence or 2/3 of the house could decide on an election. Either way a minority Conservative government could only be followed by a new election.

A number of other things could also happen. The Unionist party would be a natural partner. They might well still not be enough even with the various 'others'. They then might try a coalition with the Libs again. If no coalition could be formed then the next biggest group could try and form a government if the Conservatives didn't want to be in a minority government. That would be Labour. The Libs might go into a coalition although Labour wouldn't do deals last time.

Call Me will be no match for gorgeous, pouting, Nicola !


The Jock Borgias come to town :-)

As you say Haystack it will be interesting. I think the Conservatives have achieved quite a lot in this government although I don't think the coalition with the Libs has worked very well. The prospect of a Labour/Lib government is just too awful to even contemplate!

One of the good things about a minority government from the Conservatives point of view is that Labour, Libs, SNP can only get rid of them with a new GE. None of those parties could afford another selection soon after next year's.

A very typical Guardian article. It is an obvious result of austerity. It is not a policy that had that specific intention, but a natural byproduct.
