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.

There are plenty in the hierarchy of UKIP who don't like Farage as well. Farage was so popular that he couldn't even win a seat himself.

Farage is the man who got us OUT of the EU ,without his 20 year campaign nothing would have happened .
I don't know why you think he's such a Knob cynic , i would rather he didn't take the stage next to Trump but other than that he's done good .

"Farage was so popular that he couldn't even win a seat himself"
HaHA...What the likes of Neil Hamilton!!! Nigel Farage hate's the man, and
as for Carswell he was always a Tory plant.
And if there was any justice in this country then there will be a few Tory's taken
to court for abuse of expenses, which is one of the reason Nigel Farage found it
difficult to win a seat and was down to the Tory's using any method to gain
advantage and deny a fair fight, along with the other establishment parties who
colluded together.

gb - why are you such a bitter individual?
has your wife refused a divorce?

jimmy - i've told you why i think farage is a knobhead, so i shan't re-iterate
that he was instrumental in forcing a referendum is incontrovertible, but even if that can be argued as "good", his parading himself on the same stage and thereby supporting trump was, as they say, a grave error of judgment

you're entitled to that view, and i usually enjoy listening to him speak, but do you not think he has now blotted his copybook rather badly?
i know it's early days, but i also like the way tm is presenting herself, and very calmly and efficiently getting on with her biz as pm ..... no spin, no histrionics but quietly determined and focused

I said earlier i would rather he had not joined Trump on that stage.
As for May i'll go with you on that so far so good . I am cautious about Brexit because i wanted out more than Farage did .

Boris and Farage's good old tory standards.
To hell with the NHS, it costs too much and private insurance is better for the country.

Fred(the shred of the truth)...You need to get your facts right, Nigel Farage
stated on many occasions that the 350 million pounds wasn't the amount sent
to Brussels every week, he stated correctly it was 34 MILLION POUNDS a day
NET.
And even the 'official Leave side said that an extra '100' million pounds a week
could be used from the savings for the NHS.

Last weekend 15 year old Jackson Page from Ebbw Vale won the World Under 18's Snooker title in Belgium.
Now if only me and his uncle Craig had chucked a few quid on him to win the Snooker World Championship before he is 25 back in 2013 then we could have been laughing in a few years time :-)

And before anyone asks ... 500/1 but they would only let us have £10 each on him at two different bookies.

I'd suggest that A. Brownlee should be up there as a contender in the sportsman
of the Year award, as not only 'running' 10.000m he swam, and cycled as well.

further to Haystacks post:
Sigmar Gabriel, who is also Germany's Vice Chancellor, said Sunday that "in my opinion the negotiations with the United States have de facto failed, even though nobody is really admitting it."
He noted that in 14 rounds of talks the two sides haven't agreed on a single common chapter out of 27 chapters being discussed.
