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 mind the Germans , except they speak a foreign language . Which I don't understand .

He is the guy you may wish to leave on a desert island!

Is he a headmaster somewhere.

More from Ben Riley-Smith

Is it the heat? Or is it the PM? We are 20 minutes into Mr Cameron's question and answer session in Leeds and already ten O2 employees have headed for the doors.

"I've had enough", says one middle-aged woman as she leaves a space right next to the PM. Another swiftly follows, telling journalists: "I've had enough too."

Others soon do the same. "I've got work to do," says a middle-aged man as he leaves to get back to his computer, joined by a colleague.

Apparently the allure of having the Prime Minister in your office three weeks before an election is not quite enough to keep the attention of some O2 workers here.

He has just seen Haze:

so fred, are we all expected to swallow your socialist diktat?

i merely posted that The Times leader was well worth the read

you then chose to cherry pick a very small extract that suited your doctrinal agenda, though it rather missed the point of the article - well you would, wouldn't you

the small snippet that i subsequently posted had no specific party political point attaching - something of which you are totally incapable

He seems a bit naggy since he came back . I don't mind the French to be honest .

Lovely weather out today , been planting out some stuff .I need some Alpines , I do like a rockery. Full sun .

I see Labour planted an ''ordinary bloke'' in their party political broadcast who turned out to be a high ranking union official, talk about trying to deceive voters.

and i've been working, but it's very nice to be able to enjoy time duting the few short weeks here when the weather is hottish but low on humidity

Can you use Cynic and working in the same sentence?

8-)

only the cynical would suggest otherwise :-)

I bet you two are neighbours but you don't know it .

It is amusing that after a ballot for positions in tonights debate, Mikiband is on the far left and Farage is on the far right.

Fred is somewhere 'oop north' and cynic is 'daan saaf'.

No way Fred is called Tarquin and Cynic's real name is Erstwhile.

Cameron negotiating skills in Europe!

And one for Max and 2.5

HAVE YOUR SAY
LABOUR received more than £1 million from Unite, as well as over £500,000 from Unison in the first week of the general election campaign, new figures on party donations showed.

Ed Miliband’s party recorded more than £1.8 million in donations out of a total of almost £2.5 million to the main parties for sums above £7,500 between 30 March and 5 April.

The Conservatives received just over £501,850 during the same period, which is the first of four weekly donation periods covering the election campaign that will published by the Electoral Commission.

The biggest donation to David Cameron’s party was from investment banker Michael Tory, who gave £75,000.

There was £20,000 gifted to the Liberal Democrats, £35,416 to Ukip, £8,400 to the Greens and £13,792 to the Co-operative Party, which is linked to Labour.

However, the SNP did not record any donations over £7,500 in the first reporting period.

Parties do not have to publish any donations between January and March until after the election.




waste of union members money .


Vote Labour if you want marxist dinosaurs like Lenin McCluskey causing strikes and power cuts.

No thanks

are the rules not being changed so that union members can deny permission for their subs to be used in donations to poltical parties?
