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.

the only thing I hate is over sea aid its a bloody disgrace when our nhs schools pensioners are left to die ,

I'm off to take the dog for a walk. Generally we go to one of the local parks.

These parks get their grass cut - and that's about all. No one apparently 'manages' the man on the machine. He is probably the employee of a Council contractor.

In the parks, there is loads of work required:

Dead trees, dead branches, litter, unsuitable litter bins, debris of all kinds in various lakes, pot-holes in paths, blocked streams and dykes, ivy on trees in copses, dead ash trees that had ash chalara dieback, thta need removing, the list goes on and on.

These parks are not managed by any seemingly qualified person. Neither are the contractors. Nor the contractors staff.

And this is just local government. National government is tons worse.

you must live near halifax or somesuch :-)

our own local council does a pretty good job i reckon, though the cost of parking is exorbitant

re: #77133

Good rant EL!

Perhaps you could show your social conscience by volunteering as a "hospital helper" and demonstrate the standards you aspire to.

I admire many of the hospital helpers at a local hospital and the time they give to others.

What do you think these immigrants are brought into the country for, besides
the benefits of course...Are they too busy learning 'da henglish"..

Sorry. Hospital helper not.

Parks Superintendent or supervision: Maybe.

The centre of town needs tons and tons of paving slabs pointing. It needs some of them 'turning over' or some but not all replacing first before the pointing job starts. My estimate of cost is circa £100k, maybe much less. I'll double it up to £200k.

But I'll just mention, that one of the streets off the centre of town has had £3m spent on about 200 yds of its length. Totally OTT!

Maybe Tanker and I should "get in on some of the action" and see if we can't get some "free foreign travel with expenses paid" or maybe our "gardens landscaped for free" or maybe a "property extension built for free" or some "lease payments on the wife's car for free" or maybe even a "couple or three consultancies for £5k a month".

That would be smart, wouldn't it? And then I'd not worry about losing my Heating Allowance at all.

Exec,

With the amount of hot air you are expelling you don't need a heating allowance.


But it would have been sensible to plough some money into the "infrastructure" 7 years ago.

Well a week to go and i don't think anyone here would have thought we would be in this position which is not good , People feeling sorry for Corblimey now , and going anti May .

the good thing about a labour win interest rates will jump . mortgages will jump all good news

General Election 2017: Shock poll suggests hung parliament with Theresa May losing 20 seats



http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/31/general-election-2017-shock-poll-suggests-hung-parliament-theresa/

So mayhem in Parliament the EU licking their lips and sniggering .

Perhaps the public are not as daft as some think!

Would they be the ones who voted for Brexit then or don't you remember .

Here's a cartoon Fred probably would NOT have put up on here:

Lol Exec , that sums up Corbyn's funding plans nicely.

IG GE PREDICTOR
now suggests a tory majority of just 35
all a bit hairy scary

goes to show what an appalling blunder was made in the tory manifesto

anyone proposing to the royal shakespeare company that GO should have a lead role in julius caesar?

If it doesn't go well for the Cons , will they ditch Treesa for some one else .Even if they win .
