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.

MrT
on the basis that you'ld have me expelled from uk as an immigrant?
i don't think so :-)
=======
more seriously .....
my charming and well-spoken driver yesterday was a kashmiri, married with 2 children
the rest of his family still live in kashmir though he had lived in uk since about 2000
his wife, also kashmiri and who he married in kashmir before coming to uk, is a qualified nurse
very clearly, they certainly pay their dues, and secondly, though for obvious reasons i could not ask, i suspect that the wife was "invited" to uk to fill a much needed role
would you have them "expelled"?
if so, why so and if not, why not?

My one daughter registered to vote in Bristol as she's in uni and it's a marginal. Her younger sister (18) asked me yesterday who she should vote for and I told her to chuck a dart at the literature we've had shoved through the door.
She said she might vote for David Cameron and Labour as they are red and so is the Welsh team ... bless her she's fecking clueless !

interestingly stan, if this was a marginal, i would assuredly vote for the tories, or certainly for another party that would keep labour out
as it happens, i'll almost certainly vote lib/dem this time as i am in tune with a number of their policies

Well a vote for the Cons in Aberdeen is a complete waste of space and time so SNP or Lib Dem only option for me. SNP don't really need my help to kick Labour out of Scotland so probably vote Lib Dem. And hope that Cameron can persuade Clegg not to RED Line a vote on Europe and go back in coalition.

In 1997 the landlord of our local was a strong Labour supporter and kept banging on about how we should all vote Labour as they were going to bring a minimum wage in. My wife worked there part time and when everyone fell about laughing when I suggested he didn't have to wait for a law to be passed to pay a decent wage he threatened to ban me !
The current landlord who is a good mate of mine and a strong Tory supporter keeps banging on about why we should vote Conservative (his sister in law is the Conservative candidate). He gets quite nasty about it and when everyone fell about laughing because I suggested that if he was a real Tory he would have posters up in his windows but doesn't because at least 90% of his customers would object to the them he threatened to ban me !
Moody b@stards :-)

The government still has the option of resigning. There follows a two week period where other parties can try and form as stable government. If that is not possible an election will happen.

Quite brilliant!
"The Budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
Public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
Tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be
Curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work
Instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero, 55 BC
So, evidently we've learned bugger all over the past 2,069 years.

The quote by Cicero has been doctored. It has been around since 2008.
There is some evidence that he did say, “The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.”
The rest has been added recently.
