THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

"it's them who will suffer"

You really are very funny sometimes.

There have been reports today of the economy improving. The run up to the election should see things getting better and better and then we can assign Labour to the dustbin of history.

The important part of PMQs was when Cameron read from a letter from Unite to Labour that explained the ways in which his union expected Labour to change. It said that they expected a working class left wing agenda from Labour in the next election.

No wonder Cameron was attacking Labour over their union ties.

I think that pheasant roasted in a juniper berry sauce might just be a tad too rich for the starving poor. If there is a gruel alternative then I am sure they will be there to collect it.

goldfinger - 03 Jul 2013 14:35 - 26683 of 81564

Hays, LOL LOL LOL LOL

and what about Heseltines report and how he thought the Tory party should be run.

What a ignorant idiot you are.

Anyway Labour will win the next election and Im going to rub your nose in it. Am I just.

Day in day out I will remind you of your pathetic posts of the past.

Ive copied the better ones to word.

Lets hope you dont choke on that silver spoon in your gob.

hilary - 03 Jul 2013 14:37 - 26684 of 81564

Gruel with fresh English Asparagus and Alba madonna shavings it is then. What would you recommend for main course?

Probably something from Iceland such as a sausage stew using Iceland premium sausages made from pork sludge and bone scrapings. I believe that stale bread soaked in slightly off milk is popular as a desert. Followed by coffee dregs and a schooner of rough cider and those nice minty things found in the bottom of urinals.

Shortie - 03 Jul 2013 14:48 - 26687 of 81564

Why would the conservatives care if you withdrew support for them, well of course unless the support was financial.

Last time a conservative knocked on my door and asked if they could rely on my support for the general election I told them that it all depended on if they could get the old peoples home behind us to lower one of their flood lights.

If remember telling a baffled campaigner that if they couldn't achieve this then they wouldn't have my support as they wouldn't be able to run the country. The flood light remained and we are where we are today...

goldfinger - 03 Jul 2013 14:53 - 26688 of 81564

Shortie, you did right.

Politicians should be more accountable on local issues.

hilary - 03 Jul 2013 14:58 - 26689 of 81564

Haystack,

Don't you think that menu might be a bit extravagant if any of the scroungers are northern?

Haystack - 03 Jul 2013 15:23 - 26690 of 81564

I hadn't considered the northern appetite for plain food. At the very least the milk should be left out and probably the mints.

goldfinger - 03 Jul 2013 15:31 - 26691 of 81564

Just read Mcluskeys full letter.

Excelent ideas, mansion tax, 55% toptax rate, disable public schools, tax on private hospitals etc etc.

Looks ok to me although Ill get mullered on the mansion tax and income tax but Im proud to support my country.

Yes sir he bob, thatl do for me. Well done Len brilliant stratergy.

The rich will pay for the deficit.

cynic - 03 Jul 2013 15:59 - 26692 of 81564

The rich will pay for the deficit.
much as some of you pretend socialists might like to imagine, this popular/populist illusion is exactly that..... tax the rich (whoever you wish to determine as such) by whatever you like, and you'll get a relative pittance

you might like to forget that it is the entrepreneurs who create wealth, both for the country and of course for themselves - and why should they not? ..... and before you get even more preposterous than usual, have a good look at the number of businessmen, small and medium and large of all sorts of nationalities, who have created such wealth over say just the last 30/50 years

goldfinger - 03 Jul 2013 16:02 - 26693 of 81564

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh get back in yer deckchair.

Fred1new - 03 Jul 2013 16:48 - 26694 of 81564

For Tory Nasty party read Michael Ashcroft and tax exile cronies.

Mind how much comes out tax reduction to the his wealthy cohorts.


Cameron is a poser.

He is even poor at that.

doodlebug4 - 03 Jul 2013 16:49 - 26695 of 81564

Andy Murray in self - destruct mode again on Centre Court. My granny has a better second serve than he does, but I suppose it's all very easy sitting in an armchair in front of the telly and criticising, the pressure he feels must be unbearable at times.:-)

Fred1new - 03 Jul 2013 17:10 - 26696 of 81564

Manuel,

Nothing against entrepreneurs, as long as they don't forget that the producers of their wealth is usually down to the employees they employ to produce, or "design" of the "goods" they sell.

That does not included traders, forex dealers and shares betters who are basically earn their cash as parasites on the financial services and the productivity of the market as a whole and have a partial responsibility for the market crash.

No better than the money lenders who are being condemned by Cameron and crew, the latter waiting for payment into party funds.

---------------------

GF, I think Hays is euphoric and the belief that a weak sign of recovery is seen,


This in itself due to the U-turn is Osborne's economic policy and pumping money into the market.

Crazy pumping up the "housing market" once again, with a London based weighting.

Another bubble to burst and implode.

cynic - 03 Jul 2013 17:27 - 26698 of 81564

fred (and sticky) ..... you're sort of right about bankers etc to which you allude, notwithstanding that they are a necessary evil (that's why us jews have most times been tolerated!), and of course they do offer employment to others.

from my side, as both "an evil one" and also some sort of pretend entrepreneur, i have always been a great believer in profit-sharing, though it's a shame employees would not be quite so interested in sharing losses in bad years.

our own company has always run such a scheme, and though it's a bit arbitrary, i think we usually give by way of a year-end bonus 7.5-10% of salary .... we do this across the board, regardless of which office may have "got lucky" or the reverse.

though i now pay myself quite well, it's certainly not even gross, but does have some reflection that we (founder-shareholders) built the company up from being on its knees to something which is consistently profitable

coup underway in Egypt.

Fred1new - 03 Jul 2013 17:59 - 26700 of 81564

Cynic,

Post 26700.

I agree with the sentiments within your post.

Nothing against "honest" banking, whether "run" or "own" by Jews or any other "race" . It is necessary to have such financial service and even those involved need recompense in recognition with their inputs and endeavours.

What I disagree with is the secrecy abuse and corruption within some of those systems.

Always, believe when possible that workers should be allowed shares and paid a proportion of profits. (May solved some of crazy union actions and increased responsible actions.)

My father's company 70 years ago had bonuses through whole company based on profitability of company.

Unilever did something similar in the 50-60s.

------------

Also, there are many in society who work bloody hard for the functioning of society, and "should" have a reasonable return for the "labour".

Somebody mention Callaghan and the "Winter of Discontent".

A period of madness, but the public did notice the graves weren't being dug, the bins weren't emptied, the sewers weren't cleaned, and water leaks weren't repaired.

And didn't some in the general public bleat.

How many in the present cabinet, or on this thread would be capable of doing those jobs.

Many of those doing those jobs, even if not over endowed above the neck, deserve decent wages, housing and other expectancy as others, in what I would think to be a decent society.
