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.

I went to a recording of QI this afternoon. There was Frankie Boyle, Ross Noble, Lucy Porter, Alan Davies and Sandy Toksvig instead of Steven Fry. It took about 2 hours to record the quiz. They edit it down later. It was at the London Studios on the Southbank between Waterloo and Blackfriars. It was very entertaining including plenty of stuff they couldn't broadcast.

Where are you going to-day?

Just lining up for the future.

.

Cameroon wont survive the vote, whatever way it goes.

I suspect he already has his ticket booked for the sunlit uplands of €uropa.

Merkels Marauders .

I agree Max , Cameron's toast ,the next day if we vote leave and not long after if we stay.

Give him 12months to get his tax returns arranged.

By arranged, you mean buried?

So.......

Are you any good at your job? And if so, just how good are you?

Has anyone any views or experience of using E-Bay , either buying or selling ,would appreciate , Thanks .

I have used it regularly over many years. I have never had any problems. Try and stick to sellers who have had large numbers of positive feedback. Set up a PayPal account as it makes selling much easier.

Oh Thank You .

Agree with Hays. I don't use Ebay much these days but never had a problem that was not resolved.

I guess you have all seen this:

Britain's ability to control its borders has taken centre stage in the EU referendum debate after new figures showed net annual migration running at 333,000.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the difference between those coming in and leaving the country in the year to December was the second highest on record, and up 10,000 on the year to September.
Some 184,000 of the numbers came from the EU during the 12 months, up 10,000 on the equivalent for the previous year and nearly half the total.
The headline figure, the last to be released before voters decide whether we should cut our ties with Brussels, is more than triple David Cameron's target of a maximum 100,000.

So much for government targets and projections - not worth the paper they are written on. No doubt the spin doctors will be out today saying it would be no different if we left the EU. They have already been on saying that most of the net increase was non EU. They must think we are all thick and can't do our sums.

Leaked messages reveal BMA plan to 'draw out' strikes and 'force' Hunt to impose contract

The head of the BMA’s junior doctors’ committee, Johann Malawana told colleagues he wanted to “draw this right out” with a “prolonged period” of industrial action.

The startling revelations also show that it was a deliberate strategy to try to “force” Jeremy Hunt to impose the new contract without doctors’ support.

The BMA called six strikes in total, including two where medics withdrew emergency care.

After the initial decision to impose, the two sides resumed negotiations earlier this month and after ten days agreed the terms of the new contract.

Junior doctors will now get the chance to vote on the new deal, which includes a pay premium for regular weekend work, along with a basic pay rise of 10%.

The messages, revealed by Health Service Journal, form part of a WhatsApp group set up by Dr Malawana for members of the JDC.

In December he told fellow committee members the BMA’s strategy should be to hold talks over the contract “interspersed” with industrial action to put the government under pressure.

“The more I think about it the more I love our plan. Basically five weeks of headlines about juniors strikes through January and February,” Dr Malawana wrote.

While in public the JDC continued to call for a negotiated settlement with the Government, in a WhatsApp message on December 15, Dr Malawana referred to a “a strategy that tied the DH [Department of Health] up in knots for the next 16-18 months”.

Before the New Year, he suggested the JDC was deliberately stringing the contract dispute out to try to force the Government into imposing the contract.

“The best solution may actually [be] to draw this right out. Into the Europe debate and leadership debate. Punctuated IA [industrial action] for a prolonged period and force them to impose against our support.”

Messages sent during a round of talks with mediators Acas in January also suggested the JDC chair was not taking the negotiations seriously.

Another JDC member, Kitty Mohan, told the group that the only substantive issue in the negotiations was whether doctors would continue to get extra pay for working on Saturdays.

“It is the only real red line. It’s the thing 99 per cent of juniors told us they were upset about in August,” she said.

Ebay:

Yes. It's always been pretty good for me for around the last 20 years or so.

Tips:

Do link it up to PayPal.
Also - do link your PayPal account to i. Your Bank Account and ii. Your Credit Card
This then makes your buying extremely easy as you can now do 'one-click buying' for any 'Buy It Nows'.

If you want a bit of fun, try using a 'robotic sniper' to do your online bidding. Just set your 'snipe' at the maximum amount you are prepared to pay for the item and let the 'robotic sniper' do the rest. This is NOT the same as letting Ebay have your maximum bid and letting Ebay do the bidding for you. Other people can almost see what is going on and they can't see any of this with the robotic sniper.

I'd be interested to hear what others have to say about robotic sniping and if they use one and which sniper they use. There's no need to pay for one. Good ones are Freely available that will pop your bid in with just 2 or 3 seconds to go before the close.
