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.

The last time I checked, Alders, Cyprus was still in the EU. Free trade is the expression, I believe.
But, as it happens, the US are very strict when it comes to financial services regulation. They require more margin, they banned hedging, they impose FIFO, and US citizins are not allowed to use offshore brokers. And if you're an offshore broker caught selling to US citizens, the yanks will have you extradited and thrown in the slammer.

itur,
Have you had any conflicts with any software or setups?
Are you running microsoft office and if so which version?
Thinking about upgrading but hate having to relearn old tricks.
May wait until the "bugs" are sorted out by the more adventurous!

That was NOT what Corbyn said. I saw the quote and he replied to the question by saying, "if he has committed war crimes then he should be prosecuted". That is very different from what you posted. His reply was a general one and applies to anyone.

No. The Telegraph is spinnng the story. I saw the interview on BBC last night and viewed it again just now. You can see it in their web site.
Interviewer: Should he be tried for war crimes
Corbyn: If he has committed a war crime, yes. Everyone who has committed a war crime should be.
That is nothing like the Telegraph's article.

There is a difference between beliefs and understanding.
You seem to lack the ability to comprehend ot do the latter.
Mind you can always follow your past leaders.
I am surprised that Heath wasn't and old etonian!

talking of education, the prog last night was very interesting ......
5 chinese teachers were seconded for a month to a high-performing comprehensive
the year was then split in two, with one half staying with the current system and the other being taught "chinese method"
the chinese method was strong on discipline - good - but was incredibly old-fashioned in the teaching method - teacher at the front preaches at the children and tells them what to memorise; questioning more than discouraged
this chinese system (12 hours a day in china) clearly produces great exam results, but totally stifles encouragement or the ability to think
however, another good side of the chinese system was the emphasis on physical exercise and sporting as well as classroom competition

It is interests me is how Cameron and Cameron can dish out cash to old boys in the city by selling the tax- payers’ property at a knock down price and hand out tax benefits to his paymasters and cronies, but not find money to tide over Kids Company.
The one thing that Cameron and his sycophantic neo-conservative followers have, is an abundance of Moral turpitude
