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.

And let's not forget Corbyn hates Britain and everything we stand for , i wish he would just go and live in a hippy commune somewhere although that wouldn't fit his life style as he was brought up in a large Farm and went to private school ,like a lot of politicians a proper hypocrite .

LABOUR’S new leader Jeremy Corbyn wishes Britain would abolish its Army.
Mr Corbyn, 66, believes Britain and other countries should follow Carribean outpost Costa Rica by scrapping armed forces.
The comments, at a Hiroshima remembrance parade in August 2012, will stun our brave squaddies.
Standing with late left-winger Tony Benn, Mr Corbyn slammed Britain’s support for nuclear weapons.
He said: “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every politician around the world instead of taking pride in the size of their armed forces did what the people of Costa Rica have done and abolished the army and took pride in the fact that they don’t have an army, and that their country is near the top of the global peace index. Surely that is the way we should be going forward.”
The remarks risk deepening the civil war threatening Labour over their leader’s opposition to Nato and Britain’s nuclear deterrent — and his sympathies for the IRA and Hamas.
Sinn Fein chief Gerry Adams was among the first to congratulate Mr Corbyn on his shock leadership win calling him a “good friend of Ireland”.

Mr Corbyn was yesterday savaged for supporting people “instrumental” in killing British soldiers.
Ex-UN commander and Tory MP Colonel Bob Stewart tore into the new Labour leader’s high-profile backing of terrorist organisations around the world.
Speaking on LBC radio, ex-British Army officer Col Stewart said: “One thing that gets me going is the idea that Martin McGuinness and (others) are friends of his, and he is supportive of people who have been instrumental in the deaths of so many of my soldiers when I was in the Army.”
The member of the Commons Defence Select Committee, also warned that the CND backer was a “threat” to national security.
Col Stewart, 66, served in Northern Ireland in the late ’70s and early ’80s including when a pub bombing in Ballykelly killed six of his soldiers. He was the first British Commander of UN forces in Bosnia.
Two weeks ago Mr Corbyn admitted he “couldn’t think” of a situation in which he would deploy British troops.
The Sun revealed last month that he planned to share a stage with a Hamas supporter who condoned suicide bombing. He has called Osama Bin Laden’s death a “tragedy” and upset victims of IRA murders by refusing to condemn the atrocities.

Nigel Farage: PM 'hasn't asked for anything' in EU deal
The leader of the UK Independence Party has told Good Morning Britain he thinks David Cameron will secure a deal with EU leaders on reform of the union, because "he hasn't asked for anything".
David Cameron is embarking on a final round of talks today in Brussels with the leader of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, as well as Jean-Claude Junker the President of the European Commission.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who was set to speak to the prime minister today before being dropped from the schedule, says David Cameron will be starting from a "weak" position when he calls a referendum on his return on Friday.
When he called this referendum just over two years ago, he said if I win the election the British people will get a vote, he talked about a fundamental change in our relationship with Europe, that isn't even being discussed.
And the key issue, the number one issue in Britain is can we reduce the levels of migration, coming into Britain from Europe and frankly the so-called deal doesn't even address that.
– NIGEL FARAGE, UKIP LEADER

Corbyn is an anomaly that succeeded another anomaly. He will never be PM.
Hays, you are showing an unhealthy interest in all things Corbyn. Why allow a scrawny assed militant to get under your skin? We all know what he is and stands for.
