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.

I don't have a car. I borrow one when needed. I will be voting Liberal.

I was at a party last night where most of the guests were TVR owners and none of them will be voting for Labour either DC !

Haystack, I always thought of you as the owner of a Rolls Royce.!

I agree with you regarding Saudi. Keeping up dialogue with countries with poor human rights will achieve more than confrontation. Saudi is a sovereign state and has its own laws and customs. They are changing, although slowly. Syria and other similar countries are examples of what happens when dictatorships lose control suddenly.

Your just one of the awkward ones d4. :-))

Ed Miliband's masterstroke to beat the floods? Let's call in a fleet of oil lorries to 'vacuum up' water

'Help!' cried Ed. 'I'm locked out and stuck in my garden... I'll be late to see Gordon': The further excruciating misadventures of Calamity Ed from the blistering memoir that's got Labour squirming



CAROLYNE DRESSES AIMLESS ED

Thursday, March 17, 2005. Our house

Ed has asked Carolyne to listen as he rehearses his speech for about 150 members of the local Labour Party at Sunday’s Election candidate selection meeting. He is up against five others.

After making a few constructive comments, Carolyne asks Ed: ‘What are you wearing?’

Just as I am having to play the role of disciplinarian dad to get Ed to do his political homework, Carolyne has been forced to play the role of the mother getting her son ready before the start of a new term.

‘I thought I’d wear my brown corduroy suit and a blue shirt with a button-down collar?’

‘You’ll look like a music teacher – have you got anything smarter?’

‘I have another jacket with patches on the elbows.’

‘No. You’ll look like a geography teacher. First impressions count. These are good, honest South Yorkshire people you are talking to. You need to look the part: classic, good-quality business attire.’

‘Do I have to buy a new suit?’

‘Yes.’

‘Can you help me then?’

‘Yes. You have lovely skin and you will look terrific in a crisp white shirt,’ Carolyne reassures him. ‘It will show off your eyes.’ She agrees to take him to the shop Suits You at the Yorkshire Outlet, an out-of-town shopping centre near Doncaster.

Looks like the lefty non debt payers are about to romp home in Greece......I bet Paris and Berlin are over the moon with delight not !...

The greeks are in an impossible position, they cant pay that debt off, it's actually growing day by day.

Best to bite the bullit and get out.

I reckon you might be right but our eurozone partners are going to be pulling their hair out !...tomorrow I'd say gold climbs and the euro dives...just guessing but I wouldn't bet against it.....

Well...it's not going to get better....in the short term....

Never in a million years is the debt going to be payed back. The whole system of the euro never worked at the outset, or now or ever will. When will the Germans own up.

I was in Greece a couple of years ago. The Greeks blame their ills on the Germans. The middle classes bought loads of German cars with the cgeao money borrowed from the EU. The EU and Germany in particular don't want Greece to exit the Euro or the EU. the consequences are quite dire regarding the contagion aspect and for new entrants.

Unfortunately Greece and come to that a few other eastern and med countries are deadweights when it comes to a thriving economy.....instead of paying the debt in 20 years I suppose they will try and agree on fifty years....and shove the politicians on the stage all looking supposedly happy and the crowd chanting.......with a few suitcases full of dollars exchanging hands behind the scenes and free holidays on superyachts shoved in as well....come anz vizit uz thiz summerz....that sort of thing because it all stinks we know that....

Farage has been complaining about the 7 way debate. It doesn't suit him as he will get submerged by the others. Cameron has agreed to it. However, the DUP are asking for inclusion.

The Greek PM has accepted defeat. It is now a question of whether the new anti austerity party needs to form a coalition. If it does then it will have to tone down its demands on the EU.

Cannot watch that big brother rubbish. Bring back I'm a celeb get me out of here any day.
