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.

You, Fred, are diversionary tactics cheat.

The only topic in hand between you and me at the moment, is your continual multi-posting, with a levered attempt by me to try and get you to recognise you are doing something 'wrong' and to push you into doing something about it.

Whilst typing I would like to say, that there is only one way to have a relationship with someone who doesn't stay on topic, but continually diverts away from it, and it is this:

"Dump them"

The causes of repeat postings have been multiple.

Some addressed by the change of key board, another by a small app and others beyond my ken, but probably due to IP delay and my impatience.

Again be careful that don't you fall off your high horse you often seem to mount.

If my "mistakes" annoy, so be it, but try the squelch button on yourself or me.

I have no objectio1ns.

8-!

PS,

I have enjoyed many of the mistakes I have made.

Who's ken then .

Not entirely appropriate, I know....

Not sure if people interested but the FCA are spending £49 million yes million on advertising the PPI countdown to 2019 when it stops , anyway they are using Arnold Swarzthing in an advert currently showing , i think a two year old could have done better personally , but there you go .

i read the Arnie thing is just to boost up the costs and the penalties with them.

And why not?

strange but true

Kenya presidential election cancelled by Supreme Court

Kenya's Supreme Court has annulled the result of last month's presidential election, citing irregularities, and ordered a new one within 60 days.

The ruling makes Kenya the first African country where an opposition court challenge against presidential poll results has been successful.

The election commission had declared incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes.

But the opposition said voting systems had been hacked, causing massive fraud.

FULL of SURPRISES

Python found lurking in bathroom toilet in Southend ( 1 hour ago)

A five-year-old boy was shocked to discover a python inside his toilet when he lifted up the lid.
He was "frantic" when he found it in the bathroom at home in Southend, Essex, his mother Laura Cowell said.

Specialists from pet shop Scales and Fangs came to the rescue, removing the harmless 3ft (91cm) baby royal python.

"It smelt of bleach and a bit toilet-y," Ethan Pinion from the store said. The snake "most likely came up the u-bend" and is expected to recover fully.....

Sadiq Khan proposes council tax increases on unoccupied central London mansions
Iain Gilbert Sharecast | 04 Sep, 2017 16:09

London mayor Sadiq Khan requested Downing Street give London boroughs authority to raise council taxes on empty mansions in the capital's centre.

Khan commissioned a study to look into the extent of foreign ownership of residential properties in London in 2016, the findings of which showed that although the number of empty homes was low, it was concentrated in central areas.

City Hall announced on Monday that it believed ministers should allow boroughs the autonomy to up the levy on empty high-value homes above the current 50% rate, saying that "just one home left unoccupied is one too many".
While he did not suggest a new rate to the properties, he did say the charge should "make a difference.".............

How sad.....

At least 20 survivors and witnesses of the Grenfell Tower fire have attempted suicide, a support network has said.
Silence of Suicide founder Yvette Greenway told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the number was based on conversations with residents.
Campaign group Justice4Grenfell said those working with survivors had heard of 20 suicide attempts, but the BBC has been unable to verify the figure.
A network of support is available, Kensington and Chelsea Council said.
Deputy leader Kim Taylor-Smith said the council was "committed to supporting those affected by this tragedy".
He said support included proactive work within the community and schools, a 24-hour NHS helpline and emotional support services provided by local community groups along with the Samaritans.

'Alcohol dependency'

Ms Greenway said many residents were unable to get images of the burning tower "out of their minds".
"There is a lot of alcohol and drug dependency," she said. "People are feeling isolated."
Ms Greenway said there was little confidence in "council-led" mental health services.
"We've been told workers are going around putting leaflets under hotel doors and not actually speaking to people," she said.

E/L,

More like another scandal that the Council and or Government have failed to put the "relevant" help in place for people.. no surprise there then.

More like a bunch of attention seekers trying to milk the situation.

You know nothing as usual H/S so get back under your stone.
