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.

Cyners,
I thought you'd squelched Old Bollock Chops ages ago. Why are you bothering to reply to him?

Hard-left Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn is on course to win the race to succeed Ed Miliband, shock internal polling has revealed.
Mr Corbyn, a veteran socialist who believes Ed Miliband was not left wing enough to win the election, is understood to be leading rival candidates by up to 15 per cent in the first round of votes.
The 66-year-old backbencher has already shocked Labour MPs with the surge in support he has enjoyed among ordinary party members since joining the contest at the last minute.
He has collected 40 nominations from local parties - second only to the bookies' favourite Andy Burnham and ahead of shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper.

The revelation is a major boost to the veteran left-wing candidate Jeremy Corbyn, 66, who was endorsed by Unite to succeed Ed Miliband earlier this month

I agree we have tennis on both BBC1 and BBC2 at the same time and for many hours, probably get cricket on both channels for hours next. I think ITV has many many watchable good programmes and that is funded by advertising. The BBC license fee is effectively a tax and creates unfair competition. Also many BBC staff well overpaid I believe. David Cameron - dump the BBC and let them create a viable business out of it if they have any true ability ! That should get you even more votes from the crippled Labour party.

We are unlikely to see much cricket on BBC as there is a bidding process and Sky has deeper pockets. Wimbledon has to be shown on terrestrial due to regulations. The BBC is an outdated model. Recent criticism about the BBC making populist commercial type programs such as the Voice seem correct. They spend lots of money to get ratings and then the programming cannot even be sold anywhere. Why do they need high ratings? They have no advertising to sell. They are supposed to be a public broadcasting service.

Haystack says above
"They have no advertising to sell" Then perhaps BBC should start competing with ITV etc and go out and get some advertising instead of expecting a free ride from license payers.
"They are supposed to be a public broadcasting service". We have "watchdogs" to control whether broadcasting is fair i.e political points of view etc. ...
We can get round this poor excuse - let's sell shares in BBC, try and turn a profit, get ride of wastage, yet write into "articles" of BBC about fair broadcasting.
Let's save every household in the UK, the license fee. I live abroad and get BBC for nothing as do millions of people living outside UK - is that fair to license payers ?

ExecLine - I have no idea what you are writing about ?
Yes BBC does have some good programmes just like ITV.
Personally I do not want hours of tennis or cricket and even snooker.
I do like Antiques Roadshow, but am passive about Dragon's Den and Countryfile.
Even Top Gear which everyone seemed to rave about was getting very stale and I think ITV had better motoring programme " Classic Cars"
Watch Sky if you want to subscribe, but I no longer want to.
I live in Spain and watch free Spanish TV, ITV, and free BBC and some other free TV and I believe I am properly informed about the news as I wish.
We are not legally obliged to pay TV license fees in Spain every year.
How about having a UK referendum whether we should continue with BBC as it is

I have just looked up what license fee payers have to pay for BBC.
£3.735 billion - can that be correct !!!
Yes - about 25 million household paying about £145 a year.
For Christ's sake let's privatise it and help those who are struggling with London and elsewhere shortages of housing.
While I am at it - why should people with homes worth over £1m not have to pay inheritance tax - very nice if you live in the South and London.
Mind you we do live in a two tier country with different tax rates for Londoners.
Just a pity the young can not afford to buy a house now - how selfish is this.
Nice if you are a property millionaire Londoner, who has done bugger all but live in the same house for the past 20 years.
There is not much chance of a northerner getting a million quid for doing nothing, so why no inheritance tax ????????????

Mr TANKER - you really must widen your vocabulary.
You must learn how to put a strong argument without having to use "crap" and "shit"
which I understand as being the hard toilet waste product.
Arse hole - I believe is the hole in our bottoms where the above said crap and shit are excreted . Scum, I take it is the floating soap etc after washing up.
The use of these words will never strengthen your arguments -
At least the BBC do not have such a vivid vocabulary as you do.
Maybe we should keep the BBC after all. It does teach us to moderate our language.
ha ha ha

One thing that irritates me about the BBC is the money they pay presenters and the likes . Take Gary Linaker , match of the day he's on millions yet he's just signed up with BT as well , presenting European games equally probably on millions . Bloody disgraceful he's actually just average at best and not worthy of any where near what he's paid
