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.

Connections with Hillsborough anyone?

Andrew Neil when he isn't trying to be "funny" can be a very penetrating interviewer.

I must admit that I also find him irritating at times.

Is Hilary a lady?

Interesting to watch the present political jiggery-pokery.

The coalition seems to have given up making U-turn policies turns, by making bold statements and then kicking decision making into the long grass. That is until after the next election.

Seems, that they are going to dither while the UK burns!

Even if they were directors of a bank they would have been asked to resign.

Copied from elsewhere - Nigel Farage: A new EU powergrab has been launched

But you won’t hear anything about it from the BBC or Westminster politicians

We are still not having a proper debate in the UK about our relationship with the EU. It suits our political class to pretend that all things EU are ‘over there’ and need not worry us.

"penetrating"? you mean at digging his own reprotational grave Fred? -):

Think he's just a 2 faced slimy git personally who has no credibility whatsoever, and why we are paying his wages through the BBC I don't know, just rubs salt into the wound IMHO.

The leader of Hezbollah made a rare public appearance Monday at a rally in Beirut, calling for sustained protests against an anti-Islam film that already has provoked a week of unrest in Muslim countries worldwide.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has rarely been seen in public since his Shiite Muslim group battled Israel in a month-long war in 2006, fearing Israeli assassination. Since then, he has communicated with his followers and gives news conference mostly via satellite link.

On Monday, Nasrallah spoke for about 15 minutes before tens of thousands of cheering supporters, many of them with green and yellow headbands around their foreheads — the colors of Hezbollah — and the words "at your service God's prophet" written on them.
this man is evil and just a terrorist who hides behind children.

I feel for these police officers trying to protect us all now they can not .
we will have to take on these thugs our selves .

Oh what a card you are "

Tony Blair saying something that i agree with for a change.

The violent reaction to an anti-Islamic film has been "absurd", Tony Blair has said.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday morning, the former prime minister said no one should take the film, Innocence of Muslims, seriously. "It's a laughable piece of film work," he said.

"The good news there is plenty of people who agree this reaction is absurd," Blair, who serves as a Middle East peace envoy, said.

Demonstrations have been held outside Western embassies across the Middle East and North Africa in reaction to the film.

“I think what we shouldn’t do is lose sight of what the real issue is, and the real issue is how do people actually think it is justified to react in a way that ends up in innocent people being killed," Blair said.

Stan.

What do you mean by " reprotational".

I tried looking it up.

The only translation I found was "nice fellow".

I will have to have a private chat with you.

How about at that after fish soup and a Rosemary chicken.

I think there is still some wine in the van.

Will phone you within the week.

Reprotational.. Thought that might raise a query-): it's a pathetic attempt to express a meaning using a word that you won't find in the dictionary -):

Yes looking forward to our meet, although my attendance at Burnley matches over the next 14 days will have to take priority.

Middle age begins at 55 years, survey suggests

Middle age starts much later than previously thought - at the age of 55, research suggests.

And Britons do not see themselves as elderly until they are nudging 70, the survey of 1,000 UK adults aged 50-plus for the Love to Learn online learning website says.

Previous studies have pinpointed the start of middle age as early as 36.

36?.. Not long to go then -):

Is there a Learn to Love on line website?

Also, if a person only lives until 37, isn't their middle age 18 and half.
