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.

Poor old Fred thinks his day is like a United colours of Beniton advert .

Fred we all encounter foreigners every day ,what do you think we all do ? swear at them and tell them to go away , you paint yourself as this god like character and everyone else as Satan , your a very deluded old fool.

Beware tossing empty baked bean tins around. And juggling them is an absolute 'No No!"

Apparently. Anyhow, t'lady next door told me. She says it's against the law, or soon will be, because you could cut yourself on the sharp tin edges.

So there!

Mind you, she can't stand cats and dogs so what does she know?

Anyway I've not been keeping up to date with some things , where are we with leaving , with all this court goings on is it poss it can be derailed . seems it's accepted in peoples minds but what can go wrong for us leavers . I live in hope it will happen but don't trust in some .

I just dislike bigotry and latent racism which some indulge in on this thread.

Denial, self-deception and scapegoating their own inadequacies are some of their features.

Often, gloating and smugness at the failures of others are other features.

You seem to me to have ample supply of these traits.

would i ever gloat about you falling off your bike without any decent reason - eg someone poking a stick through the spokes!

Through something i have done in my life i have mixed and am friends with many more foreign folk than you Fred , you just assume too much ,you are so bigoted and blinkered that you would never really know what anyone else believed in .

Manuel.

The remarks weren't aimed at you.

Where's the Xmas party this year then , is it invite only .

Dumbo,

Read back through your posts.

little fred talks absolute rubbish, the only poster that believes a word he says is
cynic, who's very naive and does think fairies reside at the bottom of his garden.

freds a liberal socialist lefty, who's ideology is waning fast...

i know they weren't fred, but that doesn't stop me teasing you :-)

Come outside.

Looking back at what happen in the past, some maybe old enough to remember the truth about economy and country disturbances.
Socialist (Labour suporters ) would not agree much of that truth, but I do remember plenty of what "AlanG" says.
1982 to 1987 (August) was when the boom years of the stock Market after being at rock bottom.

I am old enough to remember Mrs Thatcher taking over as PM she took over a country that was on the verge of being bankrupt a country where 3 day weeks were the norm due to power plants etc on strike , a country where people could not be buried due to strikes a country where bins were not being emptied and a country Red Robbo and King Aurthur Scargil thought they ran.
I was a very frequent visitor to British Leyland over all these years and quality of the cars was being kind to them Crap.

We were seen as the sick man of Europe . Dennis Healy our great chancellor was Hauled of a plane ( going on another jolly) when the IMF pulled him off asking him to explain the country's dire finance situation also 3 million people unemployed .
Mrs Thatcher inherited a total mess and total chaos .
Mrs Thatcher over her tenure pulled things around bringing investment from Toyota, Nissan etc etc the country was back open for business.

After 13 years the electorate seen fit to dump the Goverment and elect Labour Mr Blair who took us into false wars, bringing chaos to the Middle East and flooding the country with immigrants, I have no problem with immigration but try getting into Australia, USA, Canada etc without a job to go to or being sponsored .
Mr Blair taking over a country with a balance of payment surplus and great gold reserves started to spend along with his mighty chancellor like a drunken sailor in port.

Put us in mighty debt, sold our gold at Rock Bottom Price and robbed everyone in a pension of their pot , Brown had maxed out the credit cards, spent all the gold money , put the country in massive debt it will never recover from but hey ho he seen the pension pots of companies and insurance company's and decided to levy them sticking his sticky fingers into YOUR hard earned but Wise Gordon knew shares only increased and the skim off he had done would soon be made up by the pension funds !!! But hey ho we hit a recession shares plunged and then pension providers did not have enough to cover their liabilities so we went from having the Best pensions in Europe to the worst all thanks to Mr Brown raiding your pension providers.
The country under Labour was again on the verge of being bankrupt like the note they left THEIR IS NO MONEY LEFT

Then the Tory's get crap for cuts trying to balance the books it's not the Tory's that made us have the cuts it was the Labour Party .
I ask one question to the doubters when did any LABOUR Government leave behind a solid financial situation ever since the war all labour have left behind is turmoil.
Dian Abbot is a prime example of a socialist attempts to stop more grammar schools ( which I was fortunate to attend) a way of a working class person of getting on in life as you could not afford private education. The secondary modern school which Mrs Abbot wants to force you to send your children to is NOT Good enough for her Children and she sends then half way across London to a £25,000 pa school so socialism for

Trump reverses course on core campaign pledges

mentor - an interesting article, but it is only slightly less partisan than its counter would be from say polly toynbee ..... nevertheless, there are certainly some valid points made therein

cynic

re -old times and the future

1- Railways employed ten people to do one persons job.
2 - Militant unions run the country and the town halls.
3 - We are in a different environment now but we must be vigilant and not let those wasteful socialists back in power.
4 - Brexit is by far our best option for realising this.

One was glad to have the price of a cup of tea
and 2p phone calls till BT privatisation in 1984

Oh dear Haystack can't except the US election result .

They can't accept Brexit ,can't except The Donald ,what is wrong with today's people , get over it for gods sake.

Donald Trump assembled the media today to threaten them. They responded by leaking it all.

again, i agree with part of what you say but i suspect, your inclination is for a totally hard brexit wherein we tell europe to go fuck itself and thus cut off our noses to spite out faces
