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.

Cargo Homestore
this chain was formerly known as Carpenter's and as far as i can tell, is not owned by any larger entity
anyway, be aware that this is the first casualty of the new year, though i believe that the on-line biz will continue to trade, as least for now

I'd never heard of them, but looking at their site, it's no surprise, overpriced tat at best.

for sure england won't lose, but unless there's something dramatic, a dull draw is clearly 1/10 ...... still, yesterday's fireworks were fun to watch

saudi
not surprisingly, the noises coming from that arena are very different from what one hears in uk
the saudi (sunni) line is that these guys were militants intent on fomenting unrest and more within the kingdom and were treated accordingly
given that both sunnis and shias are muslims, this all feels akin to the irish problem but on a much more serious and brutal scale

From April 2016, non-EU migrant workers will need to earn £35,000 to qualify for settlement, a move that will decimate a significant proportion of nurses working within the NHS.
With the average national wage for a nurse in the UK at circa £23,000, this is a disproportionate measure taken by the UK government in an attempt to limit immigration.
Most of them come from Asian like the Philippines

Nurses will not be a problem as there is going to be a number of exceptions the new policy.

What about the many carers who look after the elderly who can't afford to pay for agency nurses

WELL back home for a week then back to the sun .
the uk is a joke when listening to the Spanish they will not allow migrants to claim
much at all that is why we get rid of the scum .
from my friends in spain
the uk is a cesspit of corruption
and if labour ever were to get power then the end for the locals .

spain is perhaps the most corrupt of the eurozone countries, and not necessarily in the most obvious of ways ...... try taking a spanish company to court for non-payment of debt ...... big joke that is

I had to go to a shop in Holloway, North London today. I was passing the end of the road where Corbyn lives. It is Berriman Road, number 48 I think. You can tell which one it is by the tatty wooden fence. If you think he has poor taste in clothes then you should see his curtains. You can view the house on Street View on Google Maps. It is is more or less the same except that in the first floor window now has loads of cactus plants in it.

Nothing else about Corbyn is very interesting. He seems to be the person that style has passed by.
