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.

Similar to Cameron and Osborne being in the pockets of and puppets of the hedge funders, tax dodgers and bankers.

That man is proven to be a man you can trust!

This might sound like a joke, but it is a serious story.

Because FIFA are looking into the Russian World Cup bid, Russian officials have called for a probe into whether NASA landed on the moon.

By the way, if migrants manage to board a sealed lorry which contains food or drink, then the entire contents become unsaleable and have to be scrapped - hopefully, complete with the migrant.

The authorities have responded to UN concerns about the situation of the people in the camps at Calais. They have provided electricity supplies to the inhabitants.

greece's indebtedness is so preposterously large overall, that it cannot ever be paid off

cynic correct but the big problem is the germans they want to bleed the Greece to the grave .why do Greece not sue GERMANY for the cost of the war .
the EU IS A STINLKING ROTTEN CORRUPT SET UP .
RUN BY CROOKS FOR CROOKS .
GET US OUT

if by germans, you actually mean ECB, then the rules surrounding those loans are very different from those from IMF
