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.

Ed Balls gets £88,000 in redundancy for losing his job as MP and Shadow Chancellor.

But fear not for Ed. Geoffrey Robinson, Labour MP for Coventry may fall on his sword and trigger a by election that Balls can stand for.

Hmmm. Putting Dick Ed II forward as a candidate would be a great way of turning a safe Labour seat into a marginal. :o)

RED FRED is awfully quiet, can't think why?

This should be interesting one to follow...

Our MP, Andrea Leadsom, has been promoted from a junior Treasury post to become Minister of State at the Department of Energy and Climate Change.



Why? Well, Andrea been a vocal critic of the HS2 rail project which is due to run through part of her South Northamptonshire constituency. This project is being spoken of as costing an absolute fortune and is of no use whatsoever for anyone living along its route. It is also particularly energy wasteful.

Hmmm? I wonder if she will try and get the project scrapped? She is well able enough to do just that.

Just done a post and can't see it.

This problem has been going on for a few weeks now.

I haven't seen any comments from Ian about sorting it out so I take it it is going to get left as is.

Pathetic or wot?

If you cannot see what you've posted, well, what is the point of wasting your time doing a post.

And so much too, for the Edit button, eh?

Interesting....

Post a '.' and then you can see your previous post.

And you can see the '.' immediately you post it too.

This problem is surely an HTML coding issue.

don't tell fred for otherwise his repetitive posts will go viral :-)

Just read that there have been 11 accidents with driver less cars.

Will people buy these in great numbers ? What if you enter one of those silly 20mph zones and how many drivers stick to the 30mph limit, how does it know when to overtake ?

More on self drive cars that own themselves (and even drive to other cities looking for passengers when there aren't any locally):

Who needs Clarkson anyway?

As a reminder for Exec and Manuel!

Will these self drive cars be entitled to human rights and a council flat?

God Fred ,it's time to give it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they lost and not only that ,the Tories won without a coalition ,just relax and let them get the country back on it's feet good and proper ...

as i have always said .... if you can't be bothered to vote, then don't complain about the colour of the gov't you have ushered in through sloth

Max,

Only if they're Romanian driverless cars. If they're British, they'll have to go a 5 year waiting list.
