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.

LOL.

merely expert opinion
as for the dog ends, who's to say who left them there or exactly what they are ..... i also see 3 wine glasses

i confess i'ld be very chary of making unsubstantiated slurs on public figures on a BB

Just trying to listen to various comments outside the court following the Plebgate ruling and there is a dog barking constantly in the background - perhaps it's Tanker!

Unless it is the Eds or some labour plebs!

If you haven't already read it get John Mortimer's "The Summer of a Dormouse".

At your age and with time to reflect you may find it very perceptive and amusing.

If you are into books and don't already use the site, try Abe books site. New and Old delivered quickly and generally lower price including postage.

Use it frequently, but often read books I have read before and then realise why I can't remember them!

OPEC meeting
no cut in production, so further slump in crude prices .....

Analysts suggest the strategy of maintaining output may be aimed at retaining dominance of the market in the face of increasing shale oil production in the United States.
The shale boom has been one of the drivers behind the decline in the oil price.
But as the oil price dips, shale becomes less economical to produce.
If oil prices are allowed to remain low for some time that could cap shale production over the longer term. So keeping oil prices low may in fact make sense for Opec.

"The Saudis want Opec to remain relevant,'' said analyst Phil Flynn, speaking before the end of the meeting in Vienna. "The only way in their mind is to subdue the US shale producer."

Opec accounts for a third of the world's oil sales.

Just a thought about Osborne, is he a diabetic???

NO just a druggy.

Teresa May is a diabetic.

Goldfinger's comments about George Osborne on this thread clearly contravene Moneyam regulations. ( Content Standards)

"Contributions must not:

Contain any material which is defamatory of any other person"

don't much care (as a rule) about "friends" sensitivities being touched, but public figures on very public boards .... caveat scriptor

So the obnoxious low life is off to Switzerland is it, should be in dubious company then.

Talking of dubious company, what a you up to these days Alf -):

she's ok actually, and far more knowledgeable than most here
anyway, lucky girl, even though switzerland would not be my first choice

stan - i know a great many people in a great many walks of life ..... we all tend to have a very narrow circle of friends and acquaintances, usually from our own social level ..... much is therefore missed

Assuredly.. your judgement is bonkers -):

i'm very happy for others to think what they will of me as i'm very comfortable with myself - within my own skin as is the rather horrible current phrase

re #51556


Is that Tanker to the bottom left of the photo?

Seems like your to frigging comfortable to me, when are you actually going to do any work to earn your crust eh.. come on answer the question -):

The court case about the pleb comment does NOT mean Mitchell is guilty. It was a civil case and it was just the judge's opinion. What the judge said was that he 'probably' said it. As it was a civil case there is no burden of proof. It is about a balance of probability in the judge's eyes. The judge has to choose one or the other. I hope he appeals the verdict.

I hope this one isn't Max.
