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.

Sad story .

lottery I see they are going to kill off the national lottery 10 more numbers
will never play it again after September

greedy grabbing scum running this outfit of scum

Me too , never buy another ticket ,everyone should boycott now.

Made me more mad that they said that we have more numbers to choose from , oh thanks ,what moron spokes person thought the british public were that thick.

Camelot won't make any more money under the new lottery system. The odds are longer to win, but you will win more. It will cause more rollovers, which is what Camelot thinks people want. The overall return for players will stay the same over a long period. Camelot are not doing it to make more profit. It is to try and halt falling sales. It is mainly due to there now being two other lotteries.

Germany, as the biggest economy, is also the biggest contributor, Poland is the biggest receiver. The UK contributes much more than it receives too, about €4.7bn more. Why the gap? The UK is a rich country and the EU points out that although it spends less in the UK than the national contribution, the British economy gains much more from access to European markets and contracts. UK exports to the EU were worth nearly €12bn in September alone.

Poland take more out of the eu than any other country
Poland is bankrupt and was when it joined the eu .

Hays ,first they double the price of tickets then make it harder to win the big one ,most people would rather a smaller winning ticket every draw .
I thought the Euro lottery took care of the monster jackpot junkies who like to play for massive wins with long odds.

hay no its because of camelots big directors salaries its a dam disgrace boycott the scum

Poland does not put one euro in to the eu yet the eu persecutes greece

I refuse to believe, that if we come out of the EU, this will cause us to lose all of our export business to the EU.

Similarly, using Mercedes and Audi branded cars as 'manufactured in the EU zone' examples, that if we came out of the EU, we would not be able to continue buying them.

Or am I completely wrong on this?

I am also under the impression, that by being members of the EU, this prevents us from trading with other parts of the world.

Or am I completley wrong on this too?

Our contribution increased because it is based on economic activity of each country. The principle is that the richer pay and the poorer countries receive. That way, over a period of time the poorer countries can use the money to be more successful. The intention is to make the countries more or less equal (provided Germany is more equal).

ex you are correct

hay you post shit
the eu rotten and 98% of brits get no benefit of being in the rotten stinking eu

fact fact fact.
but we do get the scum coming to the uk for free hand outs destroying our services but that is what cameron wants he wants the uk to be like the USA HE IS NOW GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO TAKE CASH FROM THE NHS VIA TTIP
HE MUST BE STOPPED CAMERON IS A LIAR

Poland does contribute, but they are a net receiver. Germany is the largest, then it is France, Italy and the UK. That ordervmay have changed slightly. It is based on the size of each economy.

A FEW FACTS POLAND HAVE NEVER PUT ONE EURO INTO THE EU COFFERS
THEY ARE SPONGERS

I expect Merkel is ready to talk to the new Government as the last couple of Greek "morons" on charge recently, had not the "Balls" to fulfil the promises just to get in power..........
