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.

Ladbrokes has cut the odds on David Cameron going back into Number 10 as prime minister from 11/8 to to 6/5.

A Independent Scotland that wants to join the €uro..

You couldn't make it up if you tried.

Worse than that!

To join the Euro you have to join the EU. The EU is heading towards federalism, further integration of bank controls, fiscal control, centrally set budgets and loss of sovereignty. Hardly aspirations for a country that wants independence.

One bookmaker has Cameron on evens and Miliband as 4/5

http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/british-politics/next-uk-general-election/prime-minister-after-general-election

Yeah and another bookie has them at 5/4 and 4/7 !

The best odds available are Cam 5/4 and Milli 4/5 , a slight narrowing from the best odds available a couple of days ago.

I suspect the Tories will gain an overall majority.
2517

Did u read my comments above regarding the Scots joining the Euro?

Sorry Haystack, yes I did, and you summed it up...I didn't think it required any comment cos the obvious is right in your face.

Of course, we do have Stan and Olly, so perhaps explanations are required.

ps, I didn't realise how heavily this board is moderated.

Why do you say that?

Bad news Haystack the Duchess is in Labour , whats Dave gonna do . I'd have thought UKIP but ah never mind .

The Duchess is in Labour? Best be long in Mothercare is obviously the answer then! LOL!!

Cameron mocked after describing election as 'career-defining'
Opponents claim prime minister’s third gaffe in recent days reveals the Tory leader is more concerned about his own job prospects than the future of the UK


David Cameron addresses staff at Asda headquarters in Leeds. In the past week he has forgotten the name of the football team he supports and the date of the general election.

David Cameron has accidentally described the 7 May election as “career-defining” when he meant “country-defining”, his third gaffe of recent days.


His mistake on Friday was immediately jumped on by his opponents as unintentionally revealing that he was more concerned about his own job prospects than the future of the UK.

It is likely that the prime minister will step down as Tory leader if he is voted out of Downing Street.

“This is a real career-defining … country-defining election that we face in less than a week’s time,” he told an audience at the headquarters of Asda in Leeds.


Over the past week, Cameron has also gotten the name of his football team wrong, saying West Ham instead of Aston Villa, and has forgotten the date of the general election – saying 9 May instead of 7 May.

His premiership has been remarkably gaffe-free, with the notable exception of allowing a television camera to pick up his regaling the former New York mayor with how the Queen “purred” down the line to him about the outcome of the Scottish referendum.

Cameron’s flurry of recent verbal slips might indicate that the strains of the election campaign and his heavy tour schedule are beginning to show.

Labour immediately mocked Friday’s slip, tweeting: “It’s all about Dave.”

Jon Ashworth, a shadow Cabinet Office minister, added: “The problem with David Cameron is he always gets his priorities wrong. He puts his career before country, just as he puts a privileged few before working people.”

This week, the comedian Russell Brand, who interviewed Labour leader Ed Miliband, tweeted: “CEOs like Cameron are what make Britain a great company, I mean country.”
