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.

Re: 57854. I think you are wrong.

Unless you've got any kind of a link to show me to prove otherwise?

I am connected to Mike on LinkedIn and he is MD of A J Bell Media, who took over MSM Media at end 2013. MSM Media owned MAM, shares magazine etc.

OK. Thanks.

Jeremy Clarkson is to be sacked as Top Gear presenter after a BBC investigation concluded he did attack a producer on the programme.

Lord Hall, the Director General of the BBC, is expected to announce his decision on Wednesday after considering the findings of an internal investigation.

Clarkson, 54, will be thanked for his work on the hugely popular motoring show, but will be told such behaviour cannot be tolerated at the Corporation.

It is understood a report into the so-called ‘fracas’ at a North Yorkshire hotel, concluded that presenter spent 20 minutes verbally abusing producer Oisin Tymon, before launching a 30 second physical assault on him.

According to well-placed sources, senior executives at the Corporation have been wooing Radio 2 Breakfast Show host and self- confessed ‘petrol-head’, Chris Evans in the hope he will agree to take over.

Good news for Sky/ITV, good news for the lawyers as well.


It really must be time to blow out the licence fee...this is getting beyond a joke.

That would save time and money!

SNP to govern UK
an interesting thought, but in essence true
if SNP is kingmaker, and that is not impossible, then of course it will not be done without a heavy price
thus, there would be the incongruous situation where the party that is fighting hard to cut its ties with the rest of the country, will effectively be able to tell westminster what acts it can pass and which it will not allow

Brilliant... I can't wait.

Codswallop !!! and i'll be next President of the USA .

Be careful what you wish for Stan.

Wishing's for wimps George?... Wana buy a jumper JJ -):

following on from 57870, the obvious question then raises itself as to whether or not SNP MPs should have any say at all in issues that are not of scottish concern

The answer is yes.

SNP threatening to vote down the Quern's speech if there is a minority Conservative government.

That would trigger a serious constitutional crisis.

It would be a serious problem for other parties as there would be another election, probably in the autumn and only the Conservative could afford it. The other parties are pretty much broke.

Irrelevant, The usual scaremongering/negative post from the extreme right.

stan - is that yes that scots should have a say in non-scottish debates, or yes that they should not?
