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.

From todays Telegraph. How boring is this market. Top marks to Fred and TANK below.



The 39 steps to being a (modern) gentleman
Negotiates airports with ease
Never lets a door slam in someone's face
Can train a dog and a rose
Is aware that facial hair is temporary, but a tattoo is permanent
Knows when not to say anything
Wears his learning lightly
Possesses at least one well-made dark suit, one tweed suit, and a dinner jacket
Avoids lilac socks and polishes his shoes
Turns his mobile phone to silent at dinner
Carries house guests' luggage to their rooms
Tips staff in a private house and a gamekeeper
Says his name when being introduced
Breaks a relationship face to face
Is unafraid to speak the truth
Knows when to clap
Arrives at a meeting five minutes before the agreed time
Is good with waiters
Has two tricks to entertain children
Can undo a bra with one hand
Sings lustily in church
Is not vegetarian
Can sail a boat and ride a horse
Knows the difference between Glenfiddich and Glenda Jackson
Never kisses and tells
Cooks an omelette to die for
Can prepare a one-match bonfire
Seeks out his hostess at a party
Knows when to use an emoji
Would never own a Chihuahua
Has read Pride and Prejudice
Can tie his own bow tie
Would not go to Puerto Rico
Knows the difference between a rook and a crow
Sandals? No. Never
Wears a rose, not a carnation
Swats flies and rescues spiders
Demonstrates that making love is neither a race nor a competition
Never blow dries his hair
Knows that there is always an exception to a rule

(:))

Stan,

If you are not careful, I will tell Tinker and Manuel you moved to the Thames Valley, or was it the Embankment?


;-)

all posts notice that not one answer to my question on the uk being in the eu
and the benefits to uk people because their are non .
its good for companies wanting cheap labour on zero hours

the eu stinks and rotten vote out

not one post on the benefits to the working class

will be the club at 5 30 then the local till around 10 30

still not one post to give one thing good for the working classes being in the stinking rotten eu that about sums up why we should get out .

but you reckon all gov'ts are crooked to the hilt and worse, so where are you going to live?
clearly no country in eu will welcome you, but i hear tristan da cunha is looking for some migrants like you ..... pitcairn island could do with some new blood as well

Manuel,


"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

On that basis, you must be pretty honest.

Think the remark is questionable!

i rather thought you to be napoleon

Fred,

The Thames Valley and the Embankment?.. Rumour has it that Alf has a residence in both -):

One is his winter home and the other for the summer!

Just boasting that he has two sleeping bags.

Nicked from across the road, hat tip to ned.



If anyone on here is safety conscious but wants to save a few bob towards a bit of bullion this may be of interest.

In the light of recent police announcements that they no longer consider it necessary to attend the scene of domestic burglaries, I have taken down the St. George's flag from beside the house and peeled the burglar alarm sticker off the front door. We've disconnected our home alarm system and quit our Neighbourhood Watch.

?I've bought two Pakistani flags on eBay and raised them in the front garden, one at each corner, plus a black flag of ISIS in the centre. Now the local police, CID, MI5, SAS and other UK Counter Terrorism agencies are all watching the house 24/7.

We've never felt safer and we're saving £24.95 a month.

Bet Tanks is behind this -):

I have some bad news for you http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34659811

Broke?

Needs a nu wheelchair?

Anyone seen me slippers .

boy george and IDS doing wonders for the caring image of the tory party!
