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.

On the subject of Polish people....

From what you have to say about 'them', well, for a start, I'm pretty sure you are getting 'them' mixed up with Albanians and Romanians. These latter are fairly 'scum baggish', I'll give you that.

The Poles? DEFINITELY NOT.

The Polish people in the majority are a people of good ethics, they are mostly reasonably well educated and very hard working too. Their sense of the family value is also very high. They were also our friends and allies in World War 2.

Indeed, I sincerely welcome the Poles to England. not so the Albanians and Romanians and it is these guys who you will find at the car washes. At least, in the car washes they are working their balls off and have come over to get a stake together to take home to better their lot for their families back home. You actually have to admire them for doing it too.

But the apparently uncontrollable levels of immigration from the EU does MASSIVELY DISTURB ME. I am greatly against it and find it ridiculous. Perhaps we can control it better, but only indirectly and by say, toughening up with the Benefits system?

I like to see you reminding us about the cost of Health care for us Brits in European countries. The fact we do this for free for all visitors but have to pay when we want it ourselves in their countiries, is also ridiculous! We are idiots and our government should stop it over here. All three major parties are to blame here for their idiotic weakness on it.

It is simlar with dog poo and litter. The government and our Councils do nothing. There is a complete lack of political will to do anything about these two problems . Similarly with our roads and all the pot holes in them and the litter at the side of our roads. Our politicians want a good kicking for it.

Another or my pet hates is the lack of good street lighting. Damn it! We have half our street lights turned off and are giving away £billions to despotically run countires with our massive levels of Foreign Aid. Stupid or wot?

Your bang on Execline .

I am not sure about Romanians, but I know several Albanians. Two in particular are at good universities here.

I don't get these polls....this morning the BBC had Labour 1% ahead of the Tories .....now the blues are 6% ahead of the reds...???

The polls have quite a bit of variation due to general randomness and different methodologies. Some are face to face, some internet and some are telephone. Each has its problems with the sample selection process. The internet is potentially the most dodgy as the poll sample is self selecting to some extent. It is a bit like polls on Sky News. Their sample is based on viewers of the program and those that can be bothered to vote. This means that the ones with the strongest views tend to join in.

The recent polls are complicated by the Easter holidays as the schools only went back today and many people have been away. It is not clear which party in the polls benefits from people on holiday. The results could be skewed as a result.

Did you say Poles were shoplifters or shop fitters ?

goldfinger has just had one of his posts moderated on advfn for being abusive. No change there.

i think he said shirtlifters :-)

One of my mother-in-law's favourite words.

58556 - dozo - it's a self-moderated thread so your comment is about as accurate as some of the tripe posted here

btw, it was (unsurprisingly) DB4 who was banished (moderated), so makes your observation even more silly
