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 know I stabbed my brother David in the back to gain power, but don't worry I will look after YOU. Yeah right.
Hypocrite Harman, I don't know why I singled her out the Labour party is full of hypocrites, anyway she's been keeping a low profile lately.

My point was Fred that we are swamped with immigrants more than defending any party ...
And you can see we are !!!! millions !!!!!

I am growed up, Fred.

That's why I don't trust those scum bags at the top of the current Labour Party, who are promising anything and everything to everyone, hoping to gain power at any cost.

I actually want more of the same until Boris Johnson gets to be PM. Then I will be very happy - and also very well entertained by some very interesting politics.

I would also like to see some Polish people in our goverment. I think they are mostly fantastic.

JB,

Reflect on your words chosen.

Perhaps, reflect on 1930s in Germany and the rhetoric of that period.

Many might think the words reflect your core values.

Exec.

I would like to see the Berlusconi of British politics as leader of the torrid party.

With luck he would lead them further into the wilderness chasing chickens.

Promises, check Cameron's hand outs to the hedge funds (tax reductions) and the Golden Oldies (promises) in hope of bribing them.

Check out the heritage of many of the MPs in the present government and you may find some Poles amongst them.

The tory party is a busted flush.

By the way who busted Maggie Thatcher's flush.

I believe is was some of her "close" friends in her own cabinet who discarded her.

Bring back Heath, I say.

Can't remember what he signed or sank!

For decades, planetary scientists have suspected that ancient Mars was a much warmer, wetter environment than it is today, but estimates of just how much water Mars has lost since its formation vary widely.

Now, new isotopic measurements by researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center reveal that an ocean once covered approximately twenty percent of the Martian surface. This new picture of early Mars is considerably wetter than many previous estimates, raising the odds for the ancient habitability of the Red Planet.

bollox - that's just a photo of the north african coast and the med :-)

Nah.

It is the planet he lives on!

Just because you guys don't know Jack Shit about Mars, there's no need to be jealous and afraid.

In fact, if Mars were to ever adopt Christianity, it might never look back. Not a lot of people know that.

The others are already in the lunatic asylums or think they are running them!

Wonder why Dodgy Dave want the debate/s before he launches the next book of party lies. Sorry his personal manifesto.

Is it before he wants the "package" open to scrutiny.

I hope the the Broadcasters have the guts to tell him to think again and prepare for a debate 1 month before the election and leave an empty chair for him.


He and his advisers are even lousy PR agents.

Hmmm? I think I'm a bit bored.....

Actually, I've just had a refund from a guy who sold me a 'part used' £200 M&S Gift Card. The card had £185 left on it according to the seller, who had quite a good trading history too.

When the envelope containing said gift card arrived, duly posted 'Signed For', guess what?

Correct.

Someone had forced open the end of the envelope and removed the gift card from the envelope. Of course, you find out the envelope is actually empty after you have 'signed for' the envelope and the post man has gone past and is well down the road.

How would you differentiate between whether the seller ever put the gift card into the envelope to start with and therefore perpetrated a scam - or whether the envelope was interfered with, say somehow inside the post office? All so as to defend yourself against an accusation that you had taken the card yourself?

To me, this had all the hall marks of a clever and brilliant scam done by the seller. There was quite a bit more 'individual related aspects to the buying/selling relationship, which didn't quite fit together neatly too. I 'smelled a rat' sorta kinda. I totted up about 15 weird aspects to the whole thing.

The amount I paid for the £185 gift card was only £155 and which was a bloody good deal, I thought. It turns out it was too good! Of course it was! How could I not have seen that this was going to one of things that was sure to go wrong?

Looking at the time of the month the deal took place, I do now believe too, that it was actually a 'Pay Day Loan Scam' sale. The discount was far too high and the Seller wanted some 'instant cash' for sure.

You'll have to give this 'story' of mine some thought. Perhaps you might like to think how you yourself would try to perpetrate such a scam and at what time of the pay cycle in the month you would do it?

Do you think you could get away with sending an open ended empty envelope, using insured Royal Mail postage and which had a slit or opened end, so that the empty contents would be discovered only upon very close examination by the buyer well after it had been delivered?

How do you open your envelopes? Do you just turn them over and then look where to slit the envelope with a knife blade?

In this case, that's when you get to find out, that this has already been done!

Well, I did have a bit of a fight on my hands with this guy but did manage to win in the end. I did get my refund from him eventually, although it did take quite a lengthy fight. He is actually a courier by profession too! That stinks too! He didn't appear to be very good at wrapping a Gift Card inside an envelope though - or did he? Where might someone have learnt that trick from, eh?

I am very lucky getting my refund back! But what a fight!

For Exec. Jb, and 2517,

Police Fed reps in 'plebgate' probe
The police officer at the centre of the "plebgate" row has accepted £80,000 in damages from Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell.

A judge ruled last year the MP probably had called PC Toby Rowland, an officer on duty at Downing Street's gates, a "pleb".

Mr Mitchell accepted using bad language but said he had not used that word.

The ex-chief whip has already paid £300,000 in legal costs to the Sun newspaper and the Police Federation.

He lost a high-profile action against News Group Newspapers, publishers of the Sun, in November.

A judge said he had reached the "firm conclusion" that Mr Mitchell had used the "politically toxic" word "pleb" in September 2012 when he was not allowed to cycle through the main Downing Street vehicle gates.

Toby Rowland
PC Rowland brought a libel action against Mr Mitchell
PC Rowland's lawyer, Jeremy Clarke-Williams, told Mr Justice Warby that since that judgement Mr Mitchell "has abandoned the other defences he had raised to my client's claim and consequently terms of settlement have been agreed".

The solicitor added: "The payment of £80,000 damages by Mr Mitchell sets the seal on PC Rowland's vindication, as well as providing compensation for the injury to his reputation and the distress caused to him and his family over many months.

"PC Rowland never felt that the events in Downing Street were anything more than a minor incident.

"He was not responsible for the publicity which followed and would have much preferred that the whole matter had never entered the public domain.

"He now simply wishes to be left in peace to continue his police career."

Neither Mr Mitchell nor PC Rowland was in co
