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.

Victim,

I will sell you a few of mine at a discount!

Thank god for the on line spell checkers my spelling is still that of a six year old.

I know , it's funny how you suddenly forget how to spell the simplest of words . Some of the biggest mistakes are people who put ," to " instead of " too ", or " there " instead of " their " , or is that education .

"spellcheck" has much to answer for, not least the insidious creep of americanised spelling being the correct form

Looks like it's all over for the blotter and gang.

food poisoning have never had food poisoning in my life only people who eat in
sub standard places get it or do not cook and clean the kitchen
never eat in a Asian restaurant if you love your food and body .
tens of thousands eating from sub standard restaurants and filthy take a ways
must be idiots .just stand and watch the owners and cooks
it tells you all

bbc news now on Asian women going to Syria let them go take a way their pass port and never allow them back .they are scum

there's an old saying - you eat a peck of dirt before you die

i certainly think that people today are far more prone to upset stomachs - food poisoning if you insist - because it has been drummed into us that food that is past it's sell-by date must be dumped; total nonsense of course

anyway, while for sure there are some restaurants and food retailers of all types that fall well below acceptable hygiene standards, i am firmly of the opinion that most food poisoning comes from the home ..... in particular, food is not properly wrapped, if at all, and is often stored wrongly with raw fish, meat and chicken (our old favourite!) being kept on the same shelf of even above cooked food

and nor should the family moggy or mutt be left out of the equation ...... cats in particular will jump onto work surfaces, with obvious potential consequences

The EU referendum bill was presented to parliament today (first reading). The second reading of the bill of on 9 June.

as you may have realised, i do much of the cooking at home :-)
actually, Beloved and i are being treated to a very fine indian(!) meal in a few days at Gymkhana - not exactly a greasy spoon :-)

and for you to dwell on ..... our hosts are both kenyan asian .... he works in the oil and gas industry whereas she is a harvard graduate medic ..... do they qualify in your books as fit for deportation? .... if not, why not?

cynics cooking !

looks like from your local hospital :-)

The fix is in...dodgy dave strikes again!



Scotland bill may give Holyrood veto over Human Rights Act repeal


Provision in bill will establish in law a convention that Westminster seeks consent for legislation relating to Scottish matters

David Cameron has strengthened the ability of the Scottish government to block Tory plans to repeal the Human Rights Act, in a move that has caused alarm in some parts of Whitehall.

A brief, little-noticed provision in the Scotland bill, which implements the findings of the cross-party Smith commission, will establish in law a convention that Westminster seeks the consent of Holyrood for legislation relating to Scottish matters.

Some senior Whitehall officials say this will effectively allow the Scottish parliament to veto Tory plans to the repeal the legislation on the grounds that Scotland’s separate legal system would make it impossible for Westminster to act without the consent of Holyrood.

The Sewel convention, established at the foundation of the devolved Scottish parliament in 1999, says Westminster should seek the consent of the Scottish parliament for “reserved”, or UK, legislation that affects Scotland.

The Scotland bill makes clear that the Scotland Act 1998, which established the Scottish parliament, will be amended to entrench the convention. The amendment will say: “But it is recognised that the parliament of the United Kingdom will not normally legislate with regard to devolved matters without the consent of the Scottish parliament.”

The bill is likely to enter the statute book before the justice secretary, Michael Gove, introduces his plans to carry out the Tory manifesto commitment to repeal the Human Rights Act, meaning he will be obliged to seek the consent of the Scottish parliament to proceed.

Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has already made clear to Downing Street that she will decline to sign a legislative consent motion under the terms of the Sewel convention to permit the repeal. Her hand will be strengthened further by the new bill.

All threads messed up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like some on this thread list.

The Jackboots have arrived!

That's a bit rich coming from you Fred .

i've still got fred in the sinbin - may let him out over the w/e but undecided
certainly strange goings-on with this bill of rights thing ..... but as scotland's legal system already varies at least to some extent from uk, is there a way around all this?

perhaps scotland would be happy to accept all the undesirables whom uk are unable to deport ..... after all, it is severely underpopulated and certainly they should blend in well with some of the glaswegian element

Elderly face NHS discrimination under new UN death targets

Elderly people will be treated like second-class citizens and denied medical care under new targets which give priority to saving the lives of young people



By Sarah Knapton, Science Editor

12:01AM BST 29 May 2015



The NHS will be forced to discriminate against the over 70s to meet ‘highly unethical’ UN health targets which seek to reduce premature deaths in younger people, senior medics have warned.


Under the proposed Sustainable Development Goals, UN member states must cut the number of deaths from diseases like cancer, stroke, diabetes and dementia by one third by 2030.


However because many are age-related illnesses people who succumb to those diseases from the age of 70 are not deemed to have died prematurely and so are not included in the target.
