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.

'' i won't touch them as the management has always taken far too much out of the pot, and the shop staff always get first pick mof the "juicy bits" that come through the door''

That's the case with most charities. As for giving to them, we all (taxpayers) do whether we like it or not, 75% of charities receive donations from the government (taxpayer), why give more?

BTW cynic you have left yourself wide open (post 80108) as to where you met your wife lol

she was on special offer in my local oxfam shop :-)

There are now accusations of sexual harassment in the Oxfam stores

Manuel,

You are full of assumptions.

Lucky, one is not consumption.

This is on the online Oxfam shop

New slogan for Oxfam

Please give generously so that aid workers can have access to clean prostitutes

You mean like some sitting members of the tory party?

Foreign Aid should also be looked into surely , whenever free money is available you can bet criminals will be all over it , to see these pleas for money for water aid and medical help nowadays is beyond belief , it's been going on for decades , or is this just the Charity beefing up it's bank balance .

do i espy that fred has not answered any questioin raised ..... who is surprised? ..... pas moi!

Fred1, I guess you are now used to being out of Power and lying on your back with your Labour pals and taking it for England from the Tory`s that are always happy to stuff them any way they like it, for Queen and Country along with the Freemasons whom complain about being unjustly treated, while keeping themselves to themselves.

I'm giving up Google for a while to try Bing as an alternative.

all children should assuredly know their times tables and should also have regular mental arithmetic sessions in class

Absolutely agree.

I worry about this nu teaching method getting in the way of important stuff like gender studies etc.

The police have recommended charging Netenyahu with corruption

MOST ISRAELIS CONSIDER NETANYAHU CORRUPT, BUT HE IS STILL CLIMBING IN THE POLLS

he's a nightmare and one of the severe blocks for any chance of peace in that part of the world
