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.

Blimey CC you do seem to have an rather unhealthy fixation about some people on here, have you seen anyone about it?

Lefties usually perform true to type.

Talking about fixations, here's your nightly fix H/S

No your problem Stan? No sense of humour whatsoever! :0)

Lefties generally lack a sense of humour. Corbyn was complaining today that Parliament is not serious enough.

EU referendum: David Cameron already planning pro-Europe dossier to keep Britain in the Union

Plans for pamphlet to be sent British households outlining why staying in the European Union is the right decision - despite Prime Minister's ongoing renegotiation with Brussels

David Cameron is already preparing a pro-European Union dossier that will be sent out to British families ahead of the in-out referendum.


In a move that has infuriated eurosceptics in the Conservative Party, it can be disclosed that Downing Street is already planning to issue a document explaining “why we need to stay in the EU”.


It will lead to accusations that the Prime Minister is pre-judging the result of his ongoing renegotiation with Brussels and comes amid speculation that at least one Cabinet minister will resign in the New Year in order to campaign for Britain to leave the EU.

Miss World abandoned the controversial requirement for the contestants to appear in a swimsuit after decades of criticism that the show was merely a cattle market, objectifying women’s bodies for the pleasure of male viewers.

But here they are anyway.....

.. and not a woolly jumper in sight -):

Stan,

is somebody out of touch?

NHS nursing levels: Nine in 10 hospitals missing targets

Reaching dangerous levels!


Tory propaganda, to frighten patients from going to hospital.

Here's one for Fred , might cheer him up for xmas instead of constantly bleating on about saving the world.

fred - nor was margaret thatcher! .......

it's only you who has this total fixation with where people were educated and their background ...... until yesterday, i had no idea about either for JM, nor for that matter 99% of all politicians both past and present, and nor do i care except from passing interest

Anyone use E.ON for gas and electricity supply?


Better check your bill.


Quote for the next 12 months/fixed price tariffs.

Electricity + 30%

Gas + 29%


They just lost a customer.

I have switched to First Utility.

maxK - Well worth a look on a site called uswitch to get price comparisons. EON was on there a couple of months back with fixed tariffs . The tariffs were well below what they stated on their own site. On ringing them, they are not allowed to put out that you will find elec and gas cheaper from them on the site I mentioned,then on their own website.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look.

Well worth it Max, the fixed tariffs were way down on your figures.

Backgrounds of people I meet are usually interesting to me.

The following is crudely put.

I have always thought that individuals develop in response to their childhood environments and their exposure to the behaviour patterns of others.

Their earlier the exposures have the more influential effects on future behaviour, traits, characteristics, “morality” and “patterns, or models of thinking” and ”similar in some ways to religious indoctrination” and more important the individuals valuation and methods of relating to others.

Some of the features of “boarding” school culture is the development of sophisticated “gang” culture as well as often a self-confidence. Sometimes, the latter is justified, but it often presents itself arrogance and overvaluation of themselves.

These features are often carried on into later life and coupled with cosseted and advantaged adolescent lead to their detachment from the from the Madding Crowd

I see the need for Public Schools if only to protect children from dysfunctional parenting at home.

However, I do object to some of the public finances be granted to the running costs and upkeep of them.

=-=-=-

Again would add that when my children were young, I did consider doing a job, which meant myself and wife spending long periods abroad, and part of the consideration was “boarding schools” for the children.

My wife didn’t like the option, as she wanted to play a major part of their development.
-=-=-===-=-

Anyway, enjoy your Xmas and try not to offend to many people over the “holiday period".

Haze.

Do I see blood on Cameron's hands, or is that just from Syria and Libya?



Ps if you don't know, ask JB or Lynton.
