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.

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.

fred - hope you saw the cartoon in today's telegraph ..... not one of Matt's, but very witty; i'm (not) sure you would agree

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.

Which shop's plonk costing £5.99 beat expensive wines to take gold?

An Aldi Australian wine costing just £5.99 has taken gold at the Oscars of the wine world. It was up against wines worth three times as much, and came out ahead, to take gold. The supermarket actually picked up an impressive 14 medals at the competition - including one incredible bargain that costs under £5.

The International Wine and Spirits Competition does blind taste tests in order to identify the best wines in each category. Aldi's gold medal winner was a sweet dessert wine - Aldi's Berton Vineyards Botrytis Semillon - in the Australian Botrytis Semillon category. It came out ahead of a competitor Botrytis Semilon from Waitrose - costing £19.99.

Aldi also won a Silver Outstanding medal for its Iron Horse Barossa Valley Shiraz 2015 red wine (which costs £6.99) as well as silvers for its Callia Magna Argentinian Malbec 2014, Estevez Pinot Noir 2014, Exquisite Collection Clare Valley Riesling 2016, Lot 17 Wrattonbully Shiraz 2015, Exquisite Collection Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015, Exquisite Collection Hawke's Bay Merlot 2014, and Lot 13 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc White 2015.

It took bronze for The Project Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Exquisite Collection Argentinian Malbec 2015, Lot 21 Argentinian Chardonnay 2015, Estevez Cabernet Carmenere 2014 and Exquisite Collection South Australian Shiraz 2015.

Bargains?
They're not all sold for bargain basement prices. The Lot 17 Wrattonbully Shiraz 2015 and Lot 13 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc White 2015, for example, cost £9.99.
Some are incredible bargains though. Notable budget wines include Exquisite Collection South Australian Shiraz 2015 for £5.79, The Project Sauvignon Blanc 2016 for £5.99 and Exquisite Collection Argentinian Malbec 2015 for £5.99. The cheapest wine of the bunch was the Estevez Pinot Noir 2014, which sells for £4.79.

Why?
Aldi has been doing increasingly well in this competition over the years - as it has in a number of other wine competitions. The supermarket has picked up more than 130 awards for its beers, wines and spirits - including being named Supermarket of the Year at the Drinks Retailing Award back in February.

Back in August, Aldi boss Matthew Barnes, admitted one key strategy was attracting middle-class shoppers by stocking high quality alcohol, and then persuading them to come back for a wider variety of items.

It's the same shoppers he is targeting with healthier foods such as quinoa and bean salads - as well as spirallised vegetables and cauliflower rice, and 'special buys' that include brands like Dyson.
