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.

Well I'm glad he is showing Corblimey up for what he is , things I wouldn't have thought possible and would never have known about . He seems very proud to be seen with these type of people , so well done Hays .

PS,

Another U-turn.

Found some con-party members have Solar farms, or solariums.

George wasn't sure which.

-=-=-=-=-

Subsidies for small scale solar electricity panels on homes are to be cut, the government has announced, although by less than expected.
The subsidies will be cut by 64%, although this is less than the previous proposal of an 87% reduction.
The cuts have been softened following a storm of criticism.

God knows what Cameron will negotiate in Brussels.

Brussels Sprouts .

But we are certainly on a winner in the negotiations.

=============================
Margaret Thatcher's red prime ministerial dispatch box has sold at auction in London for £242,500.
The blue velvet wedding dress she wore in 1951 sold for £25,000.
They are among 150 items belonging to the late PM being auctioned at Christie's, with bids from as far away as the US, Australia and South Korea.
Handbags, speech notes, gifts from world leaders and the raincoat she famously wore to drive a tank in 1986 are also being sold.
Baroness Thatcher died on 8 April 2013 at the age of 87. Britain's only female prime minister, she held office from 1979 to 1990.
The Iron Lady: A political life
Embossed with the Royal cypher and the title "Prime Minister", the dispatch box was delivered to the then Mrs Thatcher on a daily basis, containing cabinet, foreign and Commonwealth documents for her attention.
It vastly exceeded its estimate of £3,000-5,000, attracting a round of applause in the auction room when it finally sold.
A signed typescript of her famous speech reciting the words of St Francis of Assisi, "Where there is discord, may we bring harmony," sold for £37,500.
She gave that address outside Number 10 shortly after becoming prime minister.
Baroness Thatcher's collection of writings from Winston Churchill sold for £32,500 - 10 times its estimate - while her editions of Churchill's biography of Marlborough sold for £18,750.
Also sold at the auction was a Kaiser bisque model of an American bald eagle, which was gifted to the former prime minister from former US president Ronald Reagan.
It was bought for £266,500 - much more than its estimate of £8,000.
The award was presented in 1984 by US ambassador to the UK Walter H Annenberg, whose wife Leonore has been credited with introducing Mrs Thatcher to Mr Reagan and initiating their relationship.
Other items that went under the hammer included personal letters from Mr Reagan to Mrs Thatcher, such as one to congratulate her on 11 years in power which sold for £25,000, and one wishing a belated birthday to her husband Sir Denis, which was purchased for £32,500.
Her wedding dress and matching muff also far exceeded its estimate, which was set at £10-15,000.
She wore them to marry Denis Thatcher on 13 December 1951 at Wesley's Chapel in London.
An online auction of another 200 items belonging to Baroness Thatcher closes on Wednesday

Come back Maggie we need you now more than ever .........................

Best PM in most of our lifetimes. Most other countries wanted her as their leader.

It tells you some fools have more money than they need!

What did you buy?

A catalogue?

And the Yanks want her on their $10 bill ....

When Maggie ruled the world .....

On 5 May, Bobby Sands died in the prison hospital on the sixty-sixth day of his hunger strike, prompting rioting in nationalist areas of Northern Ireland. Humphrey Atkins issued a statement saying that Sands had committed suicide "under the instructions of those who felt it useful to their cause that he should die". Over 100,000 people lined the route of his funeral, which was conducted with full IRA military honours. Margaret Thatcher showed no sympathy for his death, telling the House of Commons that "Mr. Sands was a convicted criminal. He chose to take his own life. It was a choice that his organisation did not allow to many of its victims".

How could anyone believe that you could say to Margaret Thatcher, " if you don't do what I want I will starve myself to death" and get what you want?

Bobby Sands and several others starved themselves to death just because they were no treated as 'special' prisoners and as a criminals. They wanted to be political prisoners and not have to wear prison uniforms and do work.

That's why we need her today ,she had the guts to not suck up to political correctness ....

When the 7ft 6in statue was unveiled in 2007, Baroness Thatcher was the first living former Prime Minister to be honoured in such a way by the Commons

I wonder if Blair will get this :)

Looks like a couple of Spitting Image puppets, it fact..

She would certainly slap down Corbyn in the Commons. Kinnock was terrified of her. In the end Kinnock could not look her in the eye at PMQs. He used to stare at the floor most of the time. Just look at some of Thatcher's PMQs on YouTube.

I suppose even Fred would have to admit she was our most influential and greatest Prime Minister..
To not accept that would be just plain ignorant.
