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.

Osborne is Chancellor and Deputy PM.

He has resigned jimmy b, but I see that you are also correct as he will consider putting his name forward for re-election as leader after the summer. I notice he has had 2 stints as leader (2006 - 2009 and 2010 - today).

I think he is UKIP , without him at the helm it wouldn't have done so well ...

Haystack, Hilary, maybe the 3 of us should apply for jobs at Lord Ashcrofts polls, we were certainly more accurate then the incumbents.

If UKIP had not existed, we would be looking at a majority of 100+.

They polled over 12% of the votes I believe, bit rough on them really, only getting 1 mp.

One of the great benefits of first past the post.

What will the Labour party do with their giant stone monolinth?

eBay?

Tie Miliband to it and chuck it in the Thames.

Tie Fred and Stan to it and chuck it in the Thames. Nah, on second thoughts, their bitter effluence would probably kill the fish!

Haystack, George.

Indeed! Pity Fishfinger isn't here to enjoy the sweet smell of success.

Is the lady with her wet knickers back?

Hilary, I have been reminding him on advfn. It is here if you want to gloat.

i'm sorry to say that sticky has disappeared deep into his cave .... haven't seen him all day

He'll be back, just like Arnie :-)

sticky briefly emerged with a bad hangover and then slunk off again :-)

cynic ,,,looking over the road , those threads never really took off ,GF doesn't post anything like as much as the years he was on here.

i know and it's a shame, and there's several other "sensible" threads that also do not receive the attention they deserve

perhaps it's a reflection on the general membership of advfn who would seem to like just gibbering (even worse and more so than me!) and slagging off anyone who dares to disagree with the prevailing sentiment

Which is why i never spent much time there , you usually have to read through 300 post of rubbish to get to one sensible one .
I did go over recently but there is never much there ,looks like shortie doesn't post any more either.
