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.

is it Purple Bricks. It must be as their stock got ravaged the other day. That was of course until CI and IG compulsory closed all the shorts as someone wanted their borrowed stock back

excellent programme last night Millionaire Immigrant Employer or somesuch

From today's DT.

Britain has effectively washed its hands of Isil executioners Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh and will not stand in the way of any moves to extradite them to the US, The Daily Telegraph understands.
The two Londoners have been stripped of their British citizenship, rendering them stateless, and sources say it is "very unlikely" any attempt will be made to bring them to the UK to stand trial for their alleged part in the deaths of British hostages.
The two men, who were captured by Kurdish forces in Syria last month, were part of a quartet of British jihadis nicknamed The Beatles by hostages because of their English accents.
The notorious death squad is believed to have tortured and beheaded more than 27 victims including British aid workers Alan Henning and David Haines and American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

Hardly Londoners, just ragbags that happened to have lived in London. Lets hope the Americans string them up for the murders of Foley et al. If they happened to be tried here they would be out on the street again after 10 years.

excellent ..... bring them to uk and we'ld be hamstrung by the bleeding hearts and ehcr and similar

i'm sure fred will bleat about how unfair it all is

USA is the best place for them ,they dish out 150 year sentences there not like here where we worry about their human rights and they end up being able to sue us.

I was just wondering if you were a pair of ratbags?

in my case, just a hard-working wandering jew:-)

You must have tears in your eyes.

You probably wouldn't notice if you did.

in that case, i wouldn't have tears in my eyes

Just laughed my head off over that one cynic , brill .

The really big samba schools parade tonight and Sunday night.

One of those events you have to see before you die. The sights and sounds are incredible. :)

The biggest 'Carnival' I've ever seen was in Tenerife and it was massive - but it has nothing on the one in Rio which is humongous!

Some of the participants live their lives for nothing else but Carnival.

Rio is the most spectacular but the biggest and longest street party is "Carnaval na Bahia", in Salvador. Starts early and ends.. never :) not a city for old men ..
