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.

Hope you all had a very nice Christmas.

By the way, how are your powers of concentration?

Recommendation: Do watch it until the end.

Has anyone used www.zurichprime.com. com?

Are they reliable?
Thanks

There is no friend if the friend keeps doing wrong is my view

Is Donald acting like a DUCK?

US President-elect Donald Trump has urged Israel to "stay strong" until he assumes office next month.

----------------

On Friday, the US chose not to veto a UN Security Council resolution calling for an end to Israeli settlement construction, leading to an angry response from Israel.
The issue of Jewish settlements is one of the most contentious between Israel and the Palestinians, who see them as an obstacle to peace and the creation of a viable Palestinian state.
More than 500,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.

---------------

In his speech, Mr Kerry warned that current Israeli policy was putting a future peace agreement in jeopardy and was not in the best interests of Israel, the Palestinians - or the US.
"The two-state solution is the only way to achieve just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians," he insisted.
"We cannot properly defend and protect Israel if we allow a viable two-state solution to be damaged before our own eyes."
Mr Kerry insisted the UN Security Council resolution passed on Friday was in accordance with US values - despite criticism from the Israeli government, which the secretary of state had an agenda "driven by its most extreme elements".

I watched Kerry's speech. It was very good. Hopefully, Obama will officially recognise Palestine before he leaves.

The Palestinians don't want peace with Israel, muslims don't believe in
democracy, and has we ALL know Israel is the only democracy in the ME.

Thankfully Kerry won't be in power for much longer, along with the islamist
sympathiser o'bummer..

Carrie Fisher's mother Debbie Reynolds taken to hospital with suspected stroke.

Agree with you gb , Palestinians have shown no sign of wanting peace with Israel.

Just for you Palestinian sympathisers...

UN, O'bama Further radicalize Palestinians..


'The Gaza based Hamas and Islamic jihad see the resolutions as another step
toward their goal of replacing Israel with an Islamic empire'

The Islamist plans are for a worldwide islamist caliphate, and not only are
they intent on taking over europe they also want to displace Israel from the
ME.

And any fool who can't or won't see that, is betraying the culture and history
of the West...

The UN is a corrupt organisation, full of sycophantic islamist sympathisers, which needs to be disbanded..

The oracle has spoken!

David Cameron is being considered for the role of Nato Secretary General, according to reports.
The former Primer Minister is understood to be the most likely British contender for Europe's top defence posting, which comes with a tax-free salary of €260,624 (£222,019). (Notice how many of these jobs for the boys come tax free?)
Well if he fights for Nato like he fought for the UK, it is time to dust off those Anderson shelter drawings and call in Corporal Jones. They don't like it up 'em!

dil - and most definitely not israel with the palestinians

Syria conflict: Russia-Turkey brokered truce

Wonder why the Turkey's ( Bastard/Erdogan ) all of the sudden has decided to stop the meddling on the Syrian affairs.

Maybe I do know after all.
1- since the starting of the Syrian conflict, almost lost power by the coup.
2- the kurdish forces have taken over large parts of Syria
3- plenty of bombing on Turkey for the last few month
4- his idea of being number 1 on the Middle East had to be put on hold for the moment being,he has enough on the plate at the moment, plus on top of the 2 Crook sons ( http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/03/erdogan-heir-under-investigation-in-italy.html)

note - "And it is unclear whether Ankara is prepared to give up on its long-term goal of ousting Mr Assad."
