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.

Saw this comment whilst reading Guardian online today. (As you do when you need a laugh)
56 SNP MP's just how keen will they be to rush into another referendum?
With prospect of giving up £60K per annum plus expenses and limited room for them to be re-elected to Holyrood. Just asking LOL!!!

Labour is facing at least a decade in the wilderness, party grandees warn
Tony Blair, John Prescott and Lord Mandelson lead criticism of Ed Miliband's failed strategy, as concern grows for the future of the Labour party
Labour has been plunged deeper into crisis as some of the party’s most senior figures warned that they would be out of power until at least 2025.
As the search began for a new leader, former Cabinet ministers joined members of Ed Miliband’s front-bench team to call on the party to “skip a generation” and pick a candidate who is untainted by the failures of the past.
On Sunday Tony Blair, John Prescott and Lord Mandelson entered the debate with withering assessments of the current state of the party.
The former Prime Minister called for Labour to reclaim the political centre ground. He said the party had to show it stood for for "ambition and aspiration" as well as compassion and care", making clear a change of direction was needed if the party was to regain power.
Mr Blair defended Mr Miliband's "courage under savage attack", but Lord Mandelson gave a brutal assessment of his leadership, describing his attack on "predatory" capitalists as "completely useless" as he said the decision to abandon New Labour was a "terrible mistake".
The Labour peer said the party is facing its worst challenge since the 1980s, when it spent 18 years out of power: "We were sent out and told to say we're for the poor and hate the rich, ignoring the vast swathe of the population who exist in between."
Speaking on the Andrew Marr show on BBC One, he described Mr Miliband's campaign as a "giant political experiment" which had ended in the public "ripping stripes off our shoulders".
Mr Prescott also unleashed a blistering attack on the Labour campaign, pouring scorn on Mr Miliband's "Hell yes, I'm tough" claim and accusing him of failing to defend the previous Labour government's record on the economy.
In its worst election night for 30 years, Labour finished with just 232 MPs – 99 behind the Conservatives and 26 fewer seats than Gordon Brown won in 2010.
Blame quickly fell on a series of strategic blunders, including “gimmicks” such as Mr Miliband’s courtship of Russell Brand, the comedian, and his decision to engrave his manifesto pledges into an 8ft slab of limestone.

Partly Murray playing better, but mainly Nadal not up to scratch. If Nadal had been playing at his best it would have been a walk over for Nadal.

Murray hasn't beaten a top 8 player on clay before so looking good for the French Open ,however he would still have Djokovic to deal with ,not easy for anyone .

What austerity ? The last true austerity was during the war and the decade after
