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.

Big Issue salespeeps are supposedly "in work", even though they earn next to nothing, but can claim everything.

It's good for keeping the unemployment figs down, and a few of the organisers are no doubt making a few quid...but that's as far as it goes.

one girl spoke and said if the gov wanted to be apart of the eu then why do we need the house of lords why do we need 365 mps if they think the eu is best for the uk then be ruled by the eu but alas she said that would mean them losing their jobs
they speak with lies and so far up their own backsides . they should allow the public to make their decisions and do not need the gov to lead them .

Tax credits for 3.7m working families on the chopping block

George Osborne is understood to be examining a cut to the benefit which could save the Government around £5billion

Massive Government welfare cuts will be met by removing tax credits from around 3.7million working families under plans being considered by ministers.


George Osborne is understood to be examining a cut to the benefit which could save the Government around £5billion.


It would mean that millions of low-income families would lose out on around £1,400 a year.


The Chancellor announced during the last Parliament that the Government would need to find a further £12billion of cuts to the welfare budget by 2017.


Ahead of the general election, the Conservatives refused to outline how they plan to make the spending reductions.

There are 650 MPs and not 365.

That'll be 175 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars, please

Zimbabwe's central bank scraps old currency at the exchange rate of $1 for 35,000,000,000,000,000 old dollars

Zimbabweans will start exchanging 'quadrillions' of local dollars for a few US dollars next week, as President Robert Mugabe's government discards its virtually worthless national currency, the central bank said on Thursday.


The southern African country started using foreign currencies like the US dollar and South African rand in 2009 after the Zimbabwean dollar was ruined by hyper-inflation, which hit 500bn percent in 2008.

A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot.

The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.

She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled her immensely.

At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay envelope - containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took

her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the bank the next day to open a savings account.

At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'.

'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier.

The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.'

'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?'

The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:

'I think so. Provided those wankers at Jewsons deliver the fucking bricks on time.'

Hello. :-))

Back from the dead.

Mind he is being listened to.

poor old fred ..... clearly no one but no one is remotely interested in his daily polemic

A deadbeat has risen from his grave!

Something to cheer you up Fred.
