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.

bunch of nutters!
they should join us, for we take a gentle 30/50 daily jaunt (length depends on terrain) and have plenty of time to smell the sites and see the flowers and are not too knackered to enjoy a good dinner and a bevy or two

IT,

Thank you for posting that.

I took part in the Le Tour about 12 years ago.

It was a tremendous feat for me.

Enjoyed it tremendously.

I'm up for it...now where are those damn clips.

Can Europe deliver on its existing policies and new priorities with a shrinking budget?,” it says. “If not, where should cuts be made and ambitions scaled back? Or should the gap be bridged, either via increasing contributions from the 27 member states, alternative sources of revenue, or a combination of the two, so the EU27 can do more together? Whatever the outcome, the level of political ambition must be aligned with the means.”
The EU’s budget in 2017 was €157.9bn. The European commission hopes to salvage some cash from the departing UK, by asking the British government to live up to commitments it made as a member, including funding the pensions of EU officials.

the uk was just a milking cow

The commission can feck off. They can sell our share of the EU assets and fund the pensions of UK citizens who have a pension from Brussels with that if they want.

level of political ambition must be aligned with the means
tell that to corbyn with his magic money tree!

Labour’s candidate for Mayor of London took part with an activist who has threatened “fire throughout the world”, a supporter of terror group Hamas, a preacher who backs an Islamic state and a Muslim leader accused of advocating attacks on the Royal Navy if it stopped arms being smuggled into Gaza.
Invitations said “all welcome” but made clear that women would be segregated at the door, stating: “Ladies’ entrance on Lessingham Avenue next to the snooker club.”
Also on the platform was a controversial Surrey vicar and conspiracy theorist who has claimed Israel could have been responsible for the terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers.

i missed this article and this person is now mayor of London he should be deported

how was this not reported on the news

it now appears that the public no very little of what is going on in the uk
it looks like all important news is with held from the public eye

No worries Tanker. We have you to keep us all informed.

The establishment brainwashing machine has done a fantastic job... I feel blessed I have a mind of my own .

re - Also on the platform was a controversial Surrey vicar and conspiracy theorist who has claimed Israel could have been responsible for the terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers.

I was told that theory 6 month after it happened by a Nicaraguan Oil pastels painter, who use to make Exhibitions - Tel Aviv Museum of Art, I took it as not much sense, but it comes at who is going to benefit from the reconstruction and hate to the ones being accused.

stan you do not have a brain , if you have why have you not answered my questions on the sub letters and their criminal acts , or are you just a coward to answer serious questions

cynic , I have never borrowed never had a loan or mortgage . will they have a credit score on me , I looked at one company they wanted my details so did not bother I give my details to no one , thanks in advance

it is one of the daft things in modern life that if you have never borrowed it is likely you'll be deemed a bad risk because there's no credit history

depends why you need a credit rating, but your bank or accountant may be able to help

re - do not have brain?

well, we all have a brain, now how much is "sawdust" is another thing............

# too much drink... Apparently, we're self-medicating with caffeine and high-sugar foods, and it's not good for our brains.

# Men who watch regularly pornography could be reducing the size of their brain, a study has found.

# Young adults who watch a lot of TV and don't exercise much may start to see the effects of their unhealthy habits on their brains as early as midlife, a new study suggests.

# Working full-time could be bad for your brain after a certain age

# Eating too much? You can blame your brain

# Too much fat weighs down not just your body, but also your brain

cynic , thanks t was just saw an advert , no I do not need to know just wondered
I have no trouble getting credit cards offers , but have my debit card which I prefer .

re - I feel blessed I have a mind of my own .

maybe you need a second opinion?

Any doctor will do, just make sure is not a Labour supporter, otherwise -- will reached the same conclusion as you

dressed to impressed or something else? no ... just flirting

Michelle Mone has said she has been told “a few times” to tone down her wardrobe when in the House of Lords.

The lingerie entrepreneur, who joined the Lords in 2015, said that her clothing choices have changed since becoming a Conservative peer.

But she still believes women in business should be allowed to show off their femininity, and that she is personally not afraid to show off her cleavage, adding that it makes her feel “powerful”.

The former Ultimo boss, now known as Baroness Mone of Mayfair, told The Daily Telegraph: “I’ve been told a few times…”

When asked if she was referring to being asked to tone down her clothes, she said: “Just the first few weeks. And my wardrobe has changed quite a bit.”

Lady Mone said that she was “never worried” by board meetings, explaining that she would put in the effort with her appearance.

She added: “I would always get a blow-dry and put on some high heels. I’m not frightened to get my cleavage out in the business world because it makes me feel feminine and that makes me feel powerful.

“I don’t believe you have to cover up your femininity to be a top businesswoman.”

The 45-year-old said she does draw a line at certain clothing styles and quirks in different work environments, though.

“If it’s a tech company or a flip-flop manufacturer, fine. But would I take on a lawyer who turned up to meet me in flip-flops? No,” she said.

Of short skirts, Lady Mone said they are acceptable in a “nightclub or a pub”, but “in an accountancy firm or in the House of Lords” they would be “inappropriate”.

When asked if she flirts in the workplace, Lady Mone said: “I have banter with people day in, day out. Whether that’s called flirting, I don’t know.

“But life is short and you can’t be serious all the time. We’re all human beings so there’s nothing wrong with a bit of flirting in the workplace.
