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.

rush of the wind?
not sure if that is fred's usual hot air or one of his even more obnoxious farts

Watch out or they may send you home as a second generation immigrant.

i'm surprised you do not live in bologna with its long reputation for pretty extreme left wing politics
i'm sure you could even get a pitch with soapbox in piazza maggiore where you could spout for hours with no one taking offense - or even paying any attention

========

btw i'm 3rd generation

You should definitely be exported.

But who would knowingly have let you into their country?

Max,

You are right, and I was told by my father when I was a teenager, that I should consider myself lucky to be able to afford to pay taxes and that when taxation is used properly it benefits all in a society by making it a decent and better society for all to live in.

I still agree with him.

But if you or Manuel have any ill-gotten untaxed taxable items I think you should approach some of the hunters in this tory government who might be able to wash them for you.

Mind you have to make an "honest" mistake for you, to do so.

But I suppose some will call it using their wits to protect their "hard" earned income.

Ps.

If Brexit occurs, name three ways in which your everyday living will be change after getting your sovereignty back.

I know.

Perhaps you will have the Queen's head on both sides of the coins.

fred - forgot to mention that there's loads of beggars and homeless in bologna for you to look after and give all your money

i know that's what you think everyone else should do, so you'll be able to set a good (and ostentatious) example

Brexit will occur...what ?...still doubting it.....I thought the homeless were all in Sevilla...(sorry Sevillla).....I remember encountering a lot of homeless winoes...in a launderette years ago...and somebody asked as some were scots as they were moaning : why aren't you living in Scotland...they replied in deep scotisczh accenzts that itz bluddy freazzing up there.....hence Sevilla accommodates quite a few euro homeless I regret to say......

For some who are interested in Brexit.

I found it interesting.

Mind my tastes are superior to Manuel's.

Fred1 - Glad to know you have a TV licence, as you would not have been able to watch on catch-up without one I understand.

I bet your pleased that there is another Royal Baby to feed! thought you would have be proud to post some pictures of the Royal sprog. :-)

I was thinking of starting a thread entitled "Not the royal wedding !".....somehow I don't think it would go down well as the media fill up their broadcasts up with this stuff.....(that way the real news is hushed up).....

Are you anti-?


what is the right word?

Anti-royalist.

Pure diversionary tactics when there are other things in the news?

UMM<

How did they get her to hatch on the right date?

No...not at all...just suffering from royal media overexposure.....and ...I've worked out that my line in succession to the throne has just suffered a setback in the fact that I've just dropped a notch ....damn.....

"How did they get her to hatch on the right date?" By being inseminated on the right date of choice Fred. :-) Science is marvelous compared to when I assume you were nothing more than a sperm that was desperate to meet any egg it could get its clutches onto.

It is truly terrible.

To see somebody just born jump ahead in the queue without even being offered a peerage.

oh do stick a sock in your gob fred, and preferably one that has been worn for at least a week ....... you're just a cracked record that really should be binned

I doubt that you or I would drop to the floor in front of any queen or king to be knighted Fred but on the other hand you would suck up to JC if he were the head of state,and accept any reward bestowed upon you for your services to the party,

Manuel.

Have you had another bad day in the market?

If you do reply, try to do so without boasting.

By the way, I type with my fingers.

Do you use your snout?

hahaha! that's very funny for you fred ...... it happens that i'm in bologna, lest you had forgotten, so paying little attention to the markets

Good spaghetti out that way I presume......(some people think that comes from Birmingham).....

I hope you admire the architecture while you are there but suspect you would be happier in a bog.
