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.

Mandy Rice Davies dies aged 70

am i not correct in thinking she married well?

Mandy Rice Davies was famous for saying in court, ""He would, wouldn't he?"" and it entered common usage. It was added to the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

When the prosecuting counsel pointed out that Lord Astor denied an affair or having even met her, she replied, "He would, wouldn't he?" (often misquoted as "Well, he would, wouldn't he?" or "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?")

the edifice of the old jewish soup kitchen of 1902 in whitechapel high street still stands

that was "proper" welfare state where each community looked after its own without an overweaning and interfering nanny

That was during the period of work houses or Work to Death houses.

Perhaps they should bring those institutions back.

Perhaps, building some on the playing fields of Oxford, Cambridge or Eton.

Might even be a mattress for Manuel and Haze there. When the next revolution comes.

"Haystack - 18 Dec 2014 20:39 - 53319 of 53333

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."

I have no idea about Leon Brittan. I doubt it would affect the current parties as it is all historic.

it seems workhouses, having been established at the end of 14th century, were not finally abolished until 1948!

I wonder if the MET would be interested in the above details given by Hays.

Any thoughts Fred?????

Do you think this statement from Hays would help the police out???????

Certainly seems to know the crack at that time.

Used to drink regularly with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's not the Messiah

But Hays if Maggie knew what was going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hays trying to change the topic.

Just wait and see. Being arrested is not an indication of much. It is a procedural process to question someone.

Will Leon Brittan be OK to play for Swansea this weekend?

Attempted murder or not?

"Being arrested is not an indication of much. It is a procedural process to question someone"............
