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.

Miliband to ask unions to save his bid for Number 10
Francis Elliott, Michael Savage and Lindsay McIntosh
Updated 18 minutes ago

Ed Miliband is set to hold talks with union bosses within 48 hours of the polls closing as he tries to shore up support for entering No 10 without a Commons majority. As a row broke out yesterday over the legitimacy of a government led by the “losing” party, it emerged that Mr Miliband would seek union backing at an emergency meeting of the national executive committee (NEC), which could be held as soon as Saturday, according to a member of Labour’s ruling body. Under new internal rules, Mr Miliband also needs to consult Labour MPs before trying to form a government without an overall majority. Shadow cabinet members admitted that he would need to “build legitimacy” if the opinion polls are correct and he wins fewer seats than Mr Cameron.

The odds on a second General Election in 2015 are falling.

This scenario I can well see happening as I believe while the Libs are led by Clegg then Labour will do no deal with them and vice versa.

Clegg gets the boot and we get a Lab minority on the second attempt but they then do a deal with Libs (other small parties agree first time round).

Who or spokesman for which party said in yesterday's FT
"Expect less from NHS. It is not an on-demand service"

===============

Who or spokesman for which party is reported in today's press as saying .....
"....... two-thirds of hospital trusts face having to make “swingeing cuts”

The really sad thing about this election is it could drag on a lot longer after polling day than it even did last time and everyone is already fed up with it.

Great article by Hodges on St Nicola







“I’ve just had a phone conversation”. He counts a beat. “Nicola is coming to visit us again tomorrow”. A burst of electricity surges through he audience.

She is coming.

The Khaleesi of Scottish nationalism is going to personally lead the charge on the final redoubt.

Might you want to rent a car when on holiday abroad? The rules have changed concerning Driving Licences in that there will no longer be any Paper Driving Licences produced by the DVLA.

Previously, these Paper Licences could be guaranteed to hold any conviction details, whereas the Photocard Licence could not. Hire car companies would therefore generally insist to see the paper copy at the time of the rental request.

Since there is now only a Photocard Licence, this is what you need to know about and now be able to do:

To all drivers: The new rules you need to understand if you want to hire a car after June 8 2015

Important advice to all drivers looking to hire a car after June 8 2015

THE DVLA have issued important new advice to all motorists intending to hire cars in future.

From June 8 2015, the paper counterpart of UK photocard driving licences will be abolished.

The paper counterpart has always contained details of any driving convictions or penalty points, but from June onwards, this information will have to be obtained online before you try to hire a car.

The DVLA has produced this video to help drivers ensure they are prepared for the changes:



The changes also mean that drivers looking to hire a car overseas may need to take a special code with them, so the hire company can check for details of any convictions or penalty points.

Drivers will need to log on to the DVLA website in advance, but each code is valid only for 72 hours, so anyone looking to hire a car more than three days into a trip overseas may need to source the code abroad.

The RAC has said more than half of drivers are unaware of the changes and they are keen to increase awareness before June 8.

Drivers have also been given mixed advice about what to do with their paper counterpart. The DVLA has recommended destroying it after June 8, but the AA has advised anyone wanting to hire a car to retain it, in case they encounter difficulties with hire firms.

To view their records, drivers will need to visit:

When I posted that the odds were evens, that is what they were at the time.

Cameron is way ahead in popularity compared to the other choices. Cameron looks like easily winning the most seats. Labour is being comprehensively rejected in Scotland. The net result is that the public clearly want Cameron to be PM. It looks like they will get exactly that.

More nonsence from the good for nothing Tory party EL.

... I suppose the next waste of time news from this "Con" party government will be that they will be bringing back the "Cones Hot Line" that soppy Major wasted money on in the 90's !

The only hope for the Labour party long term in Scotland is to break away. They need to form a Scottish Labour party as happened in NI.

That's qiute irelevent yet again H/S.
