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.

O I forgot the Libdems

Key Policies

And Ukip!

Key policies

Work in progress

And the Greens!

Key Policies

Save the planet.

Very short term as the earth will be gobbled up by the sun in Hmmm x Billion years time

I am on a roll here

Woman's Equality Party

1. A caring economy

WE offer a fresh approach that will build a sustainable caring economy that works for everyone.

2. Shared parental leave

WE will implement a fully equal system of nine months shared parental leave on 90% of pay, with a 3-month use-it-or-lose-it provision for each parent.

3. Free universal childcare

WE will implement full-time, high quality, free childcare for all children from the end of shared parental leave.

4. An end to violence against women

WE will repair the broken funding model for specialist services, including services that are for and led by BAME women. WE will put prevention, protection and provision at the heart of all our policies and WE will not rest until all women and girls are free from violence and harassment.

5. Unleashing women’s talent

By reforming our education system and tackling the reductive and often hypersexualised depiction of women in the media, WE will unleash the talent of all.

6. Equality in health and social care

WE will make sure our healthcare system works for women and men alike, putting the furthest from equality first, and ensure that social care is recognised not as an adjunct to economic activity but as its underpinning.

7. Brexit

WE will build an immigration system with gender equality and social justice at its heart. WE will design trade deals that work for everybody. WE will make sure Brexit does not turn back the clock on gender equality through secondary legislation.

8. Invest in what matters

WE will invest in what matters and make sure our social infrastructure works as well as our physical infrastructure. WE will invest in homes, not houses, and restore our education, health care and social care systems. All our policies are costed and will not increase the burden on low and average income households.

Plaid Cymru .... who cares

I suppose we should add in SNP although I can't vote for them

Key Policies

Scottish Independence.

Wish I could vote for that

I would have thought both of you would be voting for the Monster Raving Loony Party.

Aren't you card carrying members?

The new tory Flag.

There you go again . Wet dreams ? .

Fred calling others looneys , i'll say no more.

Vicky,

Tell me about them.

I am supposed to be a good listener.

I thought you were DEAF .

Can't hear you!

Shout louder.

I can't i'm dyslectical .

That doesn't surprise me!

Pardon .

I was just reading about a new(ish) British company called 'Improbable' and one of its products called 'SpacialOS', that allows users to build highly detailed virtual worlds which allow users to create super detailed simulations.

Apparently, SpacialOS is just the job for city planners for real life traffic prediction.

One company using SpacialOS has created complete simulation of the city of Cambridge, including its sewerage and mobile networks, power grids and road traffic. Tons of big investors have been pouring massive amounts of money into Improbable because SpacialOS is going to revolutionise design and construction.

Problem. It's not for the likes of us (yet?) because it isn't (yet) a listed company.

But it does appear to be a budding 'Microsoft', 'Apple' or 'Google'.

Hmmm? Watch this space.....

One of my sons has physics exams today at university. He shares a house with 6 others. Two if them are doing physics as well. They both had breakdowns this week and doctor had to be called. They will redo this year next year. One has gone home already. Luckily, my son thrives on pressure.

Here's a "So this leaves you about £6 billion plus change short, doesn't it?" 'Thornberry' clip for Fred:

Hays,

Perhaps your son has learnt to be more resilient having lived with you.

An ~30% incidence of having (mental?) breakdown is a little suspicious.

What was the causation of the symptoms?
