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.

Hays - it would also be good to compare a poll opinion of hillary to trup ..... bet she doesn't show too well either
Max - better than trump, for at least she has some political experience and isn't on the lunatic fringe where trump resides .......
i don't know what shenanigans hillary may or may not have got up to, and can't say i'm greatly interested, for i suspect it's little more than a bag of beans ........ however, i am very surprised by the low profile she is keeping, or so it appears from this side of the pond ......
that said, i do not like the american electoral system at all, as without a shed-load of money behind you, there's no point in even starting the race ..... that can't be right

Bit like here then, but here it is who you know. How do you think young Straw and Kinnock are MPs? Shuttled into positions from the time they leave university. Nepotism is rife wherever you are.
Hillary Clinton was a better candidate at the time than Obama but since then she has gone downhillary. She was pulled out from Secretary of State because she wasn't very good, in fact useless, and her advisers didn't want her to cause any more damage before her presidential run.
She wouldn't be a good president but at least she would have people to keep her out of trouble. Trump is a loose canon.

The poll for Hilary is on the page I linked to. She is about 50/50 I think. But it is still better than Trump.
Trump only won in the primaries for nomination out of the registered Republican voters who bothered to vote. It tells you little about the GE and the polls are probably more accurate.

There is a very good BBC news program Hardtalk which you could watch on BBC iPlayer. It is an interview with a very respected Republican and speech writer for Regan and George W Bush. He said he cannot vote for Trump and gives his reasons. He is even considering voting for Hilary. His view is that Trump will lose badly and may damage the Republican party. He expects a very aggressive convention in Cleveland on 18-21 July.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. No, no dandruff. No, no, no, no.
Looney, sorry Rooney, lost his cool and gave the 35yd (35yds Hmmm? More?) free kick away. Then, 'Blow me!' the wall blocked Joe Hart's vision. Also, Hart wasn't actually in the middle of the goal mouth. However, he did manage to get a finger to it.
Ah well.
Second half: Roy takes off both Sterling and Kane, neither of whom have performed well enough. On go Sturridge and Vardy.
Vardy, Vardy, Vardy, Vardy! Yes! He would have been off-side with his header, except the ball came off a defender! Yes! 1-1

Scouser. Comes naturally... :-)
Good game. England were very good in the second half. Sterling should be playing for the England women's team. or Man City.

i can't wait for this damn footie tournament to finish, but looking at the stats, england look to have underperformed as usual - 20 shots at goal but only 5 on target; 69% possession

Red is 20. Turquoise is 5. Yellow is 1
Therefore 1 + (20x5) = 101. x takes precedence over +
