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.

Not sure c, but it frankly doesent look good.

Lets see what she brings back from the fuhrer.

a puff from ADVFN as below
Fine Wine investment has enjoyed a shot in the arm from the referendum vote.
Prices had already grown a very healthy 9% in the first 6 months of 2016, but have leapt up a further 5.5% in the short 4 weeks since the vote.


what a load of bollocks as anyone who buys fine wines will tell you

there is indeed a lot of money to be made by investing in the very best bordeaux (no more than a dozen of those + even fewer burgundies) and in the very best vintages, but there is quite a lot of luck involved in choosing the best vintages, as it is not usually apparent until a few years after release

You may be struck off your doctor's list if you don't visit within 5 years. This happened to me since I rarely visited my doctor. I had to reregister. Now they have set up a complicated procedure of writing to patients after 5 years, with red letters etc.
This is to avoid paying doctors the 136 pounds per year for ghost patients. Given the long waiting periods for doctor appointments, it would be a better idea to pay the annual fee for the actual patients that were seen each year. Maybe less people will be then referred to the hospital out-patients.

That would depend on reviewal parameters.

? The same fee for a patient reviewed at monthly or weekly etc..

Does that £136 take into consideration of peripheral staff and buildings into consideration?

Seems a hell of a lot!

Labour still want an election. Conservatives on 40% translates into 200+ majority

I hadn't been to my doctor for 4 years , but a month ago I received a letter from my Medical Centre for a 5 yearly check up which I went to obviously . They said they would contact me in 5 years time for another check up . Wonder if it's to keep me on register after what Iturama said .

media spin or fair comment?

May's first PMQs and she wipes the floor with Corbyn

Have you seen it. Lucky for him that it was last until autumn. It was vicious.

Sums it up!

And the cons indulged in it.

Where's Dave and George sitting now at PMQs are they together somewhere sticking pins in little dolls .

George was at the back. I think Cameron wasn't there today.

so now fred complains that corbyn showed himself to be woefully inadequate!
i wonder what he would have commented had the reverse been true

Cynic
Here is one of the exchanges, perhaps the worst.

https://youtu.be/GW25iKkWw_k

Numerous reports of wealthy individuals paying for people to sign up and vote for Corbyn at £25 a time. People on social media saying, "I have just been given £25 if I vote for Corbyn. Labour hardship fund being used as well (7,050 paid for yesterday and today).

This looks to be of dubious legality.

Manuel,

I was observing, not complaining.

I doubt that Corbyn would have behaved in the same manner as May.

For me, it showed the real values of May and her camp followers.

Perhaps, yours as well.

As Theresa May took to the despatch box one couldn’t help but notice her husband Philip beaming down with pride from the peers’ gallery above. Ah, now that’s when we’ve seen this one before! It was thirty years ago and back then another Prime Minister’s husband watched a grammar school girl from the provinces who went on to Oxford rip apart a shabbily dressed, white haired old lefty.

the great exchange has been on the news ..... it was almost like a club tennis player vs andy murray ..... am amazed no squawks about political bias but what a pathetic performance from corbyn

=============

perhaps fred you would care to watch the news and observe for yourself corbyn's performance, and then explain what makes him such a strong leader of the opposition .... and of course how he will manage to woo the voting public sufficiently to get him into Number 10

Manuel,

Corbyn seems to be your problem, not mine.

Perhaps, he believes that he represents more than the leaders of a thiefdom.

Perhaps, some of the public recognises that he is more honest than the rabble facing him, while others are frightened by his honesty.

By the way, perhaps May was reflecting on her party's own standards.

Forgot, she is the daughter of a vicar.

As you would consider yourself to be an opportunist, I am sure you wouldn't align yourself with Corbyn.

When playing games and on various committees, I always found those who boasts the least tended to be the most dangerous.

Stop boasting!

I hope Cruella won't do as much damage to society as the witch.

How many lives did she sacrifice on the Belgrano?




Something to be proud of.
