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.

One is for his golf swing muscles Stan, there's no point in developing muscle bulk in the wrong places as it would knock his timing to bits.

Poll puts Conservatives in lead with five months to go to general election as Nigel Farage's personal ratings take a hit after Ukip makes the headlines
The Conservatives have pulled into a four-point lead over Labour while Ed Miliband's party could lose four crucial seat to the UK Independence Party, polls have shown.
A third of voters are now expecting to vote for David Cameron's party next May, according to Ipsos MORI – a significant lead on Labour's 29 per cent.
It came as Nigel Farage's approval ratings were found to have plunged in recent weeks following a series of scandals that left the party reeling, dropping 14 points to minus 20.
Voters now almost disapprove of Mr Farage's leadership performance as much as Mr Cameron, who has overseen four years of austerity cuts since taking office.
The Ukip leader's drop in popularity comes after he triggered controversy by suggesting women breastfeeding in public could "sit in the corner" and was accused of blocking ex-Tory MP Neil Hamilton's proposed route to running as for Parliament for Ukip.
In recent weeks the party has also been rocked by a sex scandal and had a parliamentary candidate resign after he mocked gay party members as "poofters" and joked about shooting people from Chigwell in a “peasant hunt" in a leaked recording.
Yet the party is still mounting a serious threat to four Labour constituencies, according the Lord Ashcroft polling: Great Grimsby, Dudley North, Plymouth Moor View and Rother Valley.
The former vice chairman of the Conservative Party turned pollster found that in all four seats Ed Miliband's party is facing a "critical" or "high" risk of a direct challenge from Ukip.
The finding comes just days after the Labour leadership was forced to publicly disown their own party's advice on tackling Ukip on the doorstep after The Telegraph published guidance sent to MPs that appeared to clash with the party's public position.
Mr Miliband said the strategy document, which urged MPs to focus on "moving the conversation on" from immigration if mentioned by voters, used "not very well drafted language" while Yvette Cooper, shadow home secretary and head of Labour's anti-Ukip unit, called it "wrong".
Meanwhile Ipsos MORI placed the Green Party ahead of the Liberal Democrats in the polls once again, predicting they would get 10 per cent of the vote compared to Nick Clegg's party's 9 per cent. Ukip was estimated to get 13 per cent of the vote.

The Greens 10% won't translate into seats due to the first past the post system, demographics and a lack of party machinery at the constituency level. UKIP has similar problems, but will do slightly better due to precise targeting. The Libs do have excellent local party machinery with very detailed databases of previous Lib voters and will still do well as their support is concentrated in a relatively small number of constituencies.

Net closing in on the Tory peodo ring. Will move very fast now like in the Saville case.
Just before the General Election aswel.
I can see UKIP picking up an awful lot of Tory seats when names are named.
Thatcher knew all about it aswel.
Could be the end of the Tories as a main stream party.

There is a lot of stuff about Dolphin Square. I lived in the next street, St Georges Square, and drank in the bar at Dolphin Square most evenings in the early 80s. I had a lot of friends who lived in DS, but never heard of anything funny going on. David Steel had a flat there as dozens of other MPs. I used to drink regularly with Lord Long, who was the Conservative whip in the Lords. There was plenty of heterosexual goings on, but no funny stuff that I came across. I knew of a handful of MPs who kept mistresses there.
