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 think the present government are getting quite a good press.

What a day only one blue in my lot - time to open a bottle

Haystack,

Had to post. If it was me, I would shop the bloody lot of them to HMRC. Why should we pay to support that lot of spongers.

Hays.

If the press in good, God help them when it is bad.

Oak,

Make it a good bottle and sit back and smile, I have seen worse.

Therein lies the problem greek. It would be too much like hard work for HMRC to get to the bottom of it all in that situation so they will ignore it and pick up the straightforward case of the person who has underpaid tax due to HMRC's error.

Its a funny old world.

edit - word added but you understood. I have seen enough to warrant my cynicism.

Rawdm999,

Blimey, did not know anyone could be as cynical as me.
Your probably right, but I would shop them anyway.

I see the innumerate postman has resigned from the shadow government. He has been replaced with one of Gordon Brown's closest aids - Ed Balls. They certainly can choose them in the Labour party.

Hays,

For a person, from a very poor family, who left school at 16years of age, later to become a minister in a government and hold a multiple other public position during his career, for me is tremendous achievement.

When you are a little more dried up, bitter and shrivelled than you are now, and look back on your own career, I have doubt that it will be as successful as his.



Also, I doubt that you will have done anything of much value for others or those around you.

I hope that he can deal with and overcome any personal problems he may have.

I wish him a long and happy retirement.

That sounds like a fairy story until you realise what a useless minister he was. How could anyone make someone shadow chancellor without even maths 'o' level. I have never noticed any sign that did anything of any use or value in his career. Just staying a Labour MP until they give you various posts is not worthy of note. He is a terrible speakerand shows signs of having a poor mind. Obviously an ideal candidate to be a Labour minister.

Your evaluation system for ability seems wanting.

It is not that difficult to be an MP, especially a Labour MP. He came from the union route. He might have been fine had he stayed as an MP. He got promoted above his level of competence. A common problem among Labour MPs.

Johnson was so incompetent, he didn't even notice his personal bodyguard was 'guarding' the wrong body, namely that of his own wife.

As in:

Alan Johnson quit frontline politics yesterday after discovering his wife had had an affair with his police protection officer.

Hours after the shock resignation, Scotland Yard launched disciplinary proceedings against Paul Rice, who had guarded Mr Johnson from potential terror attacks when he was Home Secretary.

I think THE brown stains degree was in history.
Thank goodness he now is.
Whilst still in colledge, he disseninated a phamphlet,
"How to live off the state"
Us- did well didn't he.

Over to you Fred , let's see you duck & dive and twist and turn your way out of answering the above reply's

AId,

You seem not to have not ducked those wooden beams enough.

Hays,

Check Churchill's wife's relationship.

I believe many of the partners claimed to be Churchill's friends.

Perhaps, they were just doing a quick service.

Also, check back to many previous cabinet ministers who came into politics through the unions.

Similar can be seem in those who came up through industry.

Also, I would check your own within your own family members and see if any of them have strayed.

I was right , skip the answer and go back over 60 year's in history .

No reply to the questions .

Are you on the bottle at this time in the morning?

I think you should attend a course on English or at least switch your spelling checker on, also an English dictionary.

How do your achievements compare with Johnson's.

I think if you do a little research of your own into his achievements, it might be helpful when you spout your opinions.

Such as your opinion of a person, when relating to Joanna Yeates' crime.

Aldwickk

I have Fred on squelch, and has been for at least 6 months, so I am not reading his comments today.
I am sure he is enjoying winding you up with his replies. Leave him alone and he will have nobody to talk too.

If Fred got himself a decent pair of spec's and not rose tinted one's he would see that i was quoting from two other poster's.

Its not about my achievements its about someone who was shadow chancellor spending our money.

Joanna Yeates , a classic example of Fred's tactic of trying to change the subject.

Anyway Fred is a total waste of space and not worth my time.
