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.

Why the bastards will never win:

more to the point - they should never be allowed to win
the only problem is that undoubtedly there will be an upsurge in (unwarranted) anti-moslem and right-wing sentiment and movements .... they are just as scary in their own ways

George Soros has suggested a new policy to to assist Ukraine.

It involves a shift in focus from 'punishing Russia with sanctions' to balance these out with 'assistance for the Ukraine on a much larger scale'. (An investment of $50 bn larger, actually)

Here is his proposal by way of an essay:

George Soros - Ukraine Proposals

Not much to say except : I had a very bad feeling around Xmas-New Year...... I hope the French catch those bastards.....

The bad feeling you had, required field? Was it a dodgy ruby?

LOL hils, your sarcasm kills me at times. What do you reckon Messi at the Bridge? Suarez would probably be happy If Chelsea signed him, listening to comments on Talksport.

hilary - i thought ermintrude as a(nother) sobriquet fitted you well :-)

I hope there's no truth in the story, Chris. As much as I respect Messi, I don't think he's the answer.

I think you're far more likely to see Luis Enrique go before Messi.

He says he is quite happy at Barcelona.

My son rented a villa in Barcelona in the summer and he went to see a Barcelona match with ten of his friends. They were all very pleased to watch Messi. They bought the match tickets online before they went to Spain. It is a pity that it is so difficult and expensive to get tickets for major clubs in UK.

Looking like one or the other hils.

Hilary : read my menu new year's eve.....(no joke and I'm not in the mood...)....I dream ahead of terrible events that occur later....(I'm not joking)....sometimes the events are clear sometimes not.....sometimes my thoughts become reality....(I'm not joking)....

You want me to scroll back through umpteen pages of drivel on this thread to try and solve a cryptic clue about what you may or may not have eaten on New Year's Eve???

Nah. I'm not joking, but I'm not in the mood. :o)

Try and work it out....have to go now.....

Magic mushrooms?

hils - it wasn't far back ..... try 54542 ..... i rather though this thread resembled the magic roundabout in its antics

Apparently these two psycho's heading back to Paris , stole from service station seen with rocket launchers and Kalasnikovs . It ain't over yet.

Will the war against terrorism ever be over VICTIM?

If you ever watched The Magic Roundabout, it was pretty obvious that Spliff i.e. high on or maybe some other chemically induced substance was prevalent on every occasion! :o)
