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.

A worthwhile listen.

Its been reported that the good old USA has destroyed their middle classes with taxation and easy credit.All the keeping up by using plastic brought the downfall of an entire social strata. So now they are left with the rich and the poor. The rich will get richer and of course the poor will without doubt get poorer. As the gulf between the two widens there will no doubt be social unrest. The america system being what it is lives will be lost and before you can say "make my day punk" the whole durn shebang will collapse. It happened to the Roman Empire. The French Revolution came about by the rich eating all the cake!!! We brits have had our day but just dont know it. A sad situation brought about by fighting two world wars and a need for peace and to be left alone to tend our allotments. Unfortunately,our leaders did not see it that way and sallied forth to put down any sign of rebellion at the drop of a hat. Its an unpalatable truth that along the way we have made quite a few enemies. Its also true that we also brought about a lot of change for the better.And again true that we continue to give aid which we cannot afford.The fundamental fact that unless we pull together as a world population we are doomed seems lost by the majority of earths inhabitants. Still at my tender age I can afford to sit back and watch the proceedings with intrest unless of course I am condemed to one of those afore mentioned nursing homes with no telly??????????? Salut mon amies.

Hmmm? I think what we need is a Royal Wedding...............

Yeah! Let's hear it for a Royal Wedding!

Not an anti royalist, but that was far more entertaining than the real McCoy will be.

Excellent. I really hope that the royal family tune into that one.

Good to see the GDP is as George expected.

Lower than 9 and 6 months ago.

Value of pound down.

Mind he has noticed that there is world wide problem to blame.

Pity that Thatcher strangled and then destroyed the heavy industry.

George is doing well in comparison.

Saddened to learn of the death of Sevvy this morning losing a long battle against a brain tumour. His style of golf, individual victories and his prescence in the Ryder Cup teams will live long in the memory. Great Golfing Legend, nice guy and a gent.

Seve just never gave up, his energy and enthusiasm knew no bounds and he became and lived the life, which was that of a true champion and legend!

I think he will be a great inspiration for lots of young sportsmen everywhere around the world, particularly those who are involved in golf.

Thanks for doing such a damn fine job of entertaining me too, Seve. :-)

Another success story!

Thanks Dave and Georgie boys

What's the name of the top karaoke performer in India?

Gurupta Singh.

Seems Cameron and Osborne's policies are showing signs of economic growth, or was that inflation.

Inflation, plus devaluation of sterling, without growth fascination.

Just come back from the club where I asked a few business friends with tory leaning. about the "Government of Reversal" and got the response, that the cabinet was a group of economically naive L.Bs.

I asked if they meant little boys, but was assured that is not what they meant.

Mind, with the cost of food going up and cost of cooking it, eating out
will a government method of weight reduction.

Every cloud could have a silver lining.

The silver lining is that we don't have the two Eds running the show in which case things would be a lot worse.

The problem is that you have two political naive spivs failing to run the economy.

What is you guess on sterling devaluing even more.

Don't you just love this country!
