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.

Whilst NI is hiked up for those earning more than £43k pa and to cost them £200 extra pa, some others have it 'very nice, thank you.'
Osborne earns £500,000 from New York speeches:
The former chancellor’s outside earnings in those two months alone are almost seven times higher than his annual salary as a backbench parliamentarian, which is around £74,000.
The latest three engagements to be declared are £85,396.24 from Citibank for two speeches, £34,109.14 from Black Rock, the investment firm, and £68,125.35 from Centerbridge Partners, a private investment firm.
Previous registers showed he was paid for another five speeches earning him between £28,000 and £81,000 each.
The most lucrative were two events for JP Morgan, the investment bank, at £81,174 and £60,578 each, one for Palmex Derivatives at £80,240, and another for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association for £69,992.
The cheapest was an hour-long address to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, for which he was paid £28,454.

UKIP: 13.5% (-2.2)
LDEM: 11.0% (+5.3)
LAB: 10.2% (-7.0)
LIND: 8.8% (+3.6)

It's just a way of buying influence, hedging bets, who knows where he will end up.

Well Haystacks fave tory, Ken(suede shoes)Clarke has stated on the Sunday
Politics that T.Mays career could be short lived, because of a group that Clarke
is involved with has taken umbrage at Mays EU stance..
Maybe haystacks has some inside contacts with information(allegedly)to
furnish us with?.
