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.

I felt sorry for the hypnotist I saw last night. He hypnotized 7 blokes then dropped the mike on his foot & said "Fuck me".
What happened next will haunt me forever.

Good one Bos , i like those one liner's

Aldwickk,

I did realise, honest.

Here are two videos of snow on a steep bank at the seaside near where I live. The first one is of someone losing control of their car and having an accident on a steep hill - and it is seriously difficult to negotiate this hill.

Car crash Saltburn bank

The second one shows how a bus driver managed the bank - you can see the car from the earlier accident later in the video:

Hi This is me,

This bloke got what he deserved. He won't do that again.
When I was in a Tactical Unit, we were instructed that, 'Under no circumstances were we to use a 'stinger' device on a 2 wheeled vehicle, due to the probability of causing injury/death to the rider nor should we ram a 2 wheeled vehicle. When I queried this, giving a scenario of.....A person who has committed a shooting, killing several people, gets away on a motorcycle. He rides down the road, continuing his killing spree, (say similar to the Cumbria shooting 12 dead) surely we would be able to use the stinger.
I was told that as Home Office Rules stated, under no circumstances, that means under no circumstances.
After in a unit discussion, I told my team that if the circumstances required it, I would not hesitate in using whatever means I felt were required. If a stinger or/and pulling a car across a 2 wheel vehicles path was Minimum Force, thats what I would use.
Most top bosses who I worked with were wimps who towed the political/correct line, whilst many lower ranking bosses who could not get further in their careers had bottle.
It is the same in the Armed Forces. That is often why those with bottle who get on with the job, very rarely gain a high promotion, leaving the 'Yes' men to reach the dizzy heights of command.
Some of the best 'ground' leaders I have ever worked with were turned down for promotion, because they, Thought for themselves, putting the general publics safety/wellbeing without thinking, Will this effect my promotion prospects.

It seems a pity that some intellectuals retire.

Must be a relief for some others.

So David Chaytor has after fighting and failing to show he had parliamentary privilege, has pleaded guilty to 3 charges of false accounting. He also flipped houses several times to claim thousands of pound of our money, something not illegal, but obviously a gray train for our MP's.
And why should he have been entitled to legal aid, at the level that he was represented.
He has already paid some of his expenses back. His representative has stated that, he will pay the remainder back by Jan 7th, the date of his sentencing. Why is he delaying it till then, surely he should pay it back now. He has the (our) money.
What a chance for some good newspaper headlines.

I will start some off....
How about David the (Cheater) Chaytor, pleads guilty.
Or Flipping (heck) Chaytor pleads guilty.
Or Cheating Chaytor, pleads guilty.

Any other suggestions. Perhaps we can have a vote between us for the best headline.

He was also claiming mortgage payments for a mortgage that had been paid off. Plus he was claiming for rent on his own owned house and his mother's house out of London. A crook by any measure.

Chaylor committed a criminal offence and rightly paying the price.

There are many in all three parties who have committed amoral and dishonourable claims and seemed to have escaped from being charged with criminal offence.

In amongst those are, in my opinion, are Cameron claiming for pruning of a Wisteria and Osborne for Taxi expenses etc..

That is not including other MPS claiming horrendous living expenses in London.

Any others doing similar and working in business or making false claims from a company would have been prosecuted.

Paying back what you have stolen does not seem an adequate punishment for those in "public service".

But corruption carries and seemingly cordoned by some of the ruling elite.

They don't even blush when they are exposed.

PS. What was the total amount that an MP called Jenkins received?

Also, what did those expenses cover?

Short Version:



Full context:

Does this readers letter sent to my local paper remind you of anyone.

THE COALITION Mantra is that Labour saddled us with massive debt.

These figures are taken from official HM Treasury figures 1950-2010.

In the 1950s, UK GDP stood at 13.308bn.

Our Public Net Debt was 193.89 per cent of that.

This was in the aftermath of war and crippling debt incurred as a result.

From then through to 1965, the debt reduced progressively to 42.11 per cent in 1980, regardless of political control.

From 1980-1986, it see-sawed around 44-41per cent and in the stagnant period of 1987-1992, it went down to 26.7 per cent.

From 1993 to 1996 it rose back to 41.2 per cent, when we all know there was no investment, no new schools etc.

New Labour came into power during 1997.

The GDP Debt was 41.92 per cent that year, and reduced to 29.33 per cent by 2002.

From 2003-2008, it rose to 36.25 per cent.

And this was the period of massive Labour investment in schools, hospitals, services and infrastructure.

A shining comparison to the cut-all Thatcher period with its higher GDP percentage average debt.

In 2009, precisely because of the actions of the Rights beloved Market, the GDP Debt rose to 44.19 per cent and this year to 52.34 per cent.

The lie is exposed.

Labour DID manage the economy better.

And Labour made Britain a better place.

Now we see the enobled former MP for Arundel shunted off to the unelected Lords because his local party didnt reselect him.

This man tells Cameron that the cuts will make the poor breed.

Truly a Traditional Tory nailing his nasty, natural colour to the mast.

And yet more silence from the Lib Dems locally.

ALD

What a welcome conversion.
Keep it up.

I think it is time for G and H. to do some more homework.

Like compare and contrast Chaylors reported actions and reported actions of Jenkin Mp.

Expenses claims

Main article: United Kingdom Parliamentary expenses scandal

Jenkin was reported by the Daily Telegraph to have used 50,000 in expenses in order to pay his sister-in-law rent on the property he uses as his constituency home. Jenkin claimed that he was just paying "an honest and reasonable rent" for the property.[3]

On 27 October 2009 it was initially recommended that Bernard Jenkin pay back 63,250 by expenses auditor Sir Thomas Legg. This is the highest amount known to have been recommended after an audit of MPs' claims on second homes expenses.[ This amount was reduced to 36,250 following an appeal.

Interesting to see he is still a member of the tory party. I suppose he has appeal to the new incorruptible leadership or perhaps elite .


=====================

"It is interesting to see the PR leader failed to get the cup.

I hope one foot forward and two back can do better as a temporary PM.
