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.

Senior health care solution -

So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you and if there was they would take all your money and your house to pay for it - what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 MP's and 2 illegal immigrants!

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need! New teeth - no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. (And your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now). You will not have to pay a penny and so can leave everything to your children or whoever you like ( or spend it all in advance)

And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that they cannot afford for you to go into a home.





IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

This_is_me: OK, I'm already over 65 and own a gun and plenty of ammunition. Do you want to suggest which MPs? (I expect I can find the illegal immigrants without too much difficulty, even if the Government can't.) ;-)

Execline,

I once had a boat in Monaco Harbor and I never found any problem with overcrowding.
All I had to do was let the air out, fold it up then carry it to an open space, blow it up again and that was that.

This-is-me,

Don't forget that life in prison is not quite that good due to the overcrowding.
Now if we shot 'all' the illegal immigrants, not forgetting those MPs now in prison we could all at least have a cell each as the prison population would drop by at least 50%.

Of course if you are a sick over 65 year old illegal immigrant, you have the best of both worlds. All that free care you mentioned, and if you shot, stabbed or just kicked someone to death you would on release be kept in the manner of free housing, and child benefit payments for your dozen or so kids and of course your own at least one personal security person watching you day and night, making sure no one attacked you or your property. Of course to receive all that, on release you would have to claim political asylum quoting the Human rights Act.

What an upside down world we live in.

I dont plan to retire as the pension I have worked all my life to accrue is worth damn all as some robbing Ba--ard has spent it for me and the goverment will take the rest in tax to keep the ILL IMS to a standard to which they are unaccustomed!!! Bitter me?? Naww!!!

You can fool some of the people most of the time etc ,ect ,

Labour has opened up a seven-point lead as support for the Conservatives has fallen dramatically over the past month, according to a poll.

The number of voters intending to back Labour has risen by two points to 42% while those planning to support the Tories has fallen five points to 35%, the Reuters/Ipsos Mori survey found.

The Tories' Liberal Democrat coalition partners saw their support creep up a single point to 10% - still significantly down on their pre-government ratings.

beebusy

Not the wife[ex] by any chance ?

nope, so called pension fund managers??? Our goverment abolished the retirement age as they are well aware that the number of impoverished pension holders claiming state aid would be unsustainable so the answer?? Keep them working. While they still work tax them hard, when they become ill and unable to work tax them harder, when they die, really roger them. They people who enable us to stay in power and protect us from the nasty wannabe pensioners, let them retire at 50 with a nice insulated pension.This is our goverments, not just the cons all of them.If we decided to go communist we would have even fatter cats shooting us if we get out of line. Its a case of picking the best of a grim bunch I am afraid.Abolish credit cards, make people save for what they want,reduce income tax, reduce vat to 10%,cleanse the civil service and other goverment sponsered companies including banks of fat cats. let the nurses and doctors run the hospitals,treble the car tax on any private vehicle over 1400cc, introduce a special low tax diesel rate for haulage. introduce a low tax for companies based on their number of employees and output,reintroduce apprenticeships, introduce a lower tax for the wealthy who invest in this country.Yep I could go on and on and I reckon there are a few that would disagree, but thats my slant on it for what its worth Salut!

Well I really do think that seating up above at the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, was totally excellent. Probably only to be bettered by the view from the palace balcony.

However, if you can get a seat just across from the pits and Start/Finish line, then you can see everything coming and going.

On the question of 'points lead', Vettel is now 41 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Will Lewis ever catch him, I wonder? Probably not!

The higher up you are, the better it is to look down the cleavages of those dolly birds that flock round the cars and drivers.
OH yes, there is also the secondary benefit of also seeing more of the course.

Shades of yesteryear with a german taking all and a brit just behind??

In order to raise money for their next election compaign the labour party have agreed new sponsorship deals.

On the shirts there will be this: TOTAL, FCUK, UPS

Who said country music was boring! :-)

now thats my kind of song

Replace credit cards with debit cards , treble the car tax on school run 4x4 and urban owners of 4x4's.

Set up a state run bank for drug cartel's and anybody else who want to laundry their hot money.

greekman

Dolly birds ? your showing your age now , not even bimbo's so what are they called now ?

Is it ok to own a 4x4 outside an urban area providing you don't use it for the school run? Just checking I am going to be safe in this new world.

Aldwickk,

How about 'eye candy' or is that also out.

Skinny,

Just watched the clip. Going straight out to buy a guitar and the sheet music. Will be busking in our local market tomorrow.
Will report back what I get.

Probably, a few pennies and 6 months.

Nice to see the PC brigade don't tend to rule on here.

greekman ,
