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.

Just going back to poppies and "Polish scum" for one moment, we should remember Squadrons 302 and 303 of the RAF. These were manned by highly skilled and experienced Polish pilots. In the Battle of Britain, 303 squadron was the most successful fighter command of the Battle. It shot down 126 German aircraft in 42 days, for the loss of 29 of its own pilots.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, who led Fighter Command, would later write:
"Had it not been for the magnificent material contributed by the Polish squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry, I hesitate to say that the outcome of the Battle would have been the same."
Brave men indeed and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. I will wear my poppy for them also.

Surprise surprise....
Over 80% of asylum seekers in Germany unqualified - report
Published time: 29 Oct, 2015 11:57
Over 80 percent of the asylum seekers recently arrived in Germany have no formal qualifications, and only eight percent have a college degree, local media reported citing research by the country's Federal Employment Agency.
Germany (population 80 million) may receive 1.5 million asylum seekers this year alone. It has already accepted more asylum applications than any other European nation, with a number of critics pointing to a high number of uneducated and illiterate people coming to the country.
The Federal Employment Agency has stated that 81 percent of asylum seekers are "without formal qualifications," the Junge Freiheit daily reported, citing a nine-page report entitled "Refugees in Germany: Take responsibility, identify opportunities."

it was very revealing that germany's "open door" closed after just a couple of weeks
someone suddenly woke up to the lunacy of the concept and the inherent dangers that would come in its wake

Sounds like Tory Party Central Office under Lynton Crosby.
But haze as a runner should know!
What is the party membership at the moment?
Who are the party doner kebabs at the moment?
See that the one of the party faithful has been gifted a nice little earner by Boy George!

Was it a set up ? cause a bottle wouldn't knock you out like that .
However if it was real (and good on that small girl for what was a peach of a shot) i'm surprised none of the guys sat there didn't get up and knock him out ,i personally would have kicked the shit out of him

NEGATIVE INCOME TAX
i see this has been suggested as an alternative to tax credit cuts, but as far as i can see, it DISincentivises people to work, especially in the lower paid sectors- ie why work when there's a guaranteed and relatively generous safety net?
read the following and let me know what you think
