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.

Overnight the £GBP suffered from a 'flash crash' causing its value to drop about 6% or so from $1.26 down to $1.18. A 'fat finger' is thought to be mostly to blame.

Partial recovery was quick but not complete. The £GBP is now trading at around $1.24 or so.

Here's the history of some more of these flash crashes. Some are truly amazing!

Nice to know that UKIP MEPs in Brussels weren't throwing punches.


But they are now looking to see where they lost their clubs.

I can see the likeness.

I think you should worry more about Corbyn and his bully boys Fred. Labour becoming more unelectable by the day.

Imagine Diane Abbot as Home Secretary !

The blinkered drunk old fool will never get it , now q the Dumbo,Dumbo ,Dumbo :)

"I think you should worry more about Corbyn and his bully boys Fred"

Eh! that's sexist, havn't you noticed corbyn's entourage contains some
rather beefy 'girls'......LOL!

It is good to see Jimmy the Dumbo is awake with increasing to support his zealotic friends.

It seems that his idol Farage and KIPPER party affiliates can't get their story together.

No wonder he is moaning again.

Sir Nigel to you Fred and don't forget it !!

Manuel.

Post it up.

I can't afford the rag.

Looks like a proper Cad here ,what do you think Fred ?

I think a Dumbo and the above are suitable companions.


Have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07yqr3s

Good question!

But the politics of the UK at the moment is like a complicated drama and the World's is like a nightmare.

World's is like a nightmare.
