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.

Just off the phone to David Cameron. He thinks my suggestion is great.
As we all know we have received a visit from China this week. They have gifted one of our zoos a panda bear. I suggested we gift Fred to China. They are just checking they have a strong enough cage and free of pc's. A meeting is being called in parliament in the morning.

Dreamer.,
Don't be worried, the Chinese get on well with me.
Just read that that China is probably going to use QE to aid their "home market". (Devaluation of own currency.)
Should be a great help the Uk exports, with the devalued
By the way what was the GDP growth rate again?
The tories really know how to run an economy for themselves..
(1=1$)? not really a? When may be more appropriate.

Now who signed us up to the ECHR?
Who stole 5B+ from our pension funds each year?
Who sold our gold near its low point?
Who made the benefit system (in places) so attractive to so many spongers that it almost guaranteed a labour vote?

Who started WW1?
When are the tories going to stop blaming their parents for their own mistakes.
They resemble more and more grumbling scruffy adolescents.,

Also who spent (wasted) as much money as possible in the run up to the election, purely knowing that when they lost that election, it would leave the country in an even sorrier state.
Criminal actions from Brown and his minions.
Note.........The above is a statement, not a question to F*** as it is pointless asking him questions for 2 reasons.
1 I already know his answer.
2 As he is squelched, I can't see and have no wish to see those answers anyway.
Obviously I have started to post again, completely ignoring anything relating to 'you know who', as it is a shame to miss out on those sensible posts from the many who post on here.
You know, I have started to enjoy knowing he is talking to himself!
After all I can obtain a higher level of intelligent discussion if I talk to my 2 year old grandchild.

..Clarke: Homeowners 'Can Stab Burglars'

Enlarge Photo.Clarke: Homeowners 'Can Stab Burglars'
....The Justice Secretary has said householders will be able to stab burglars without fear of prosecution under new legislation guaranteeing their right to defend themselves.
Ken Clarke was speaking ahead of the Justice Bill being debated in the Commons today.
He said an act of Parliament will be used to "clarify" the existing legal right to use "reasonable force" against intruders.
Mr Clarke said: "We will make it quite clear you can hit a burglar with a poker if he's in your house and you have a perfect defence when you do so.
"If an old lady finds she's got an 18-year-old burgling her house and she picks up a kitchen knife and sticks it in him, she has not committed a criminal offence, and we will make that clear."
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised that the new Justice Bill would "put beyond doubt that homeowners and small shopkeepers who use reasonable force to defend themselves or their properties will not be prosecuted".
Mr Clarke accepted that the defence of reasonable force already exists, but said: "Given that doubts are expressed, we are going to clarify that.
"It is quite obvious that people are entitled to use whatever force is necessary to protect themselves and their homes.
"What they are not entitled to do is go running down the road chasing them or shooting them in the back when they are running away or to get their friends together and go and beat them up.
"We all know what we mean when we say a person has an absolute right to defend themselves and their home and reasonable force.
"Nobody should prosecute and nobody should ever convict anybody who takes these steps."
Mr Cameron's official spokesman said: "The objective is to put beyond doubt the fact that home-owners and small shopkeepers who use reasonable force to protect themselves or their property should be able to do that without being prosecuted."

Strangle them at birth.
You all know who they are.
You can tell by the way the look at you, or your car, or your house.
Clarke is making noises to satisfy the self-righteous right of his party.
The law will still be interpreted by judges much as it is now.
Doomed. Doomed.

Hi aldwickk,
When asked anything, I rarely sit on the fence, but in all honesty 'I just don't know'.
Like you say, Haye is faster, but can his speed overcome the power, reach and height advantage of Klitschko.
The 2" height difference, I am not too concerned about, but I am concerned about the 3" reach difference, but more about Klitschko power.
Remember Haye beat Audley Harrison, who is taller than Klitschko and has a reach 8" more than Haye, although obviously Klitschko is an entirely different proposition.
But if I had to make a decision, I would go for Haye.
But whoever wins, I can't see it going to a points decision.
Greek.

I would think, since he has lost about 2st for this fight, that Haye intends to dodge about a fair bit and try to keep out of clinches with Klitschko, thereby avoiding the latter from pushing, weighing down on and holding Haye. That would end up being very hard work if Haye allowed it to happen.
I would hope this fight will go on for a few rounds. Enough, in fact, for it to tempt me into buying some Sky time to watch it for once.
I really like David Haye as a person, never mind as a boxer. He has a sharp mind and is as fast with that as he is with his fighting. He definitely has the gift of the gab and is a fluid talker too. He comes over in a really likeable way and has a lovely personality.
That is until he gets in the ring to fight. Then he is merciless.
Klitschko is described as being something of an Orang Utang because of his enormously long reach (circa 6ft 9ins). I do hope Haye can keep away from any of Klitschko's jabs. I think his speed will allow him to be able to do this and he should be even faster for this fight than he has ever been before.
He has had some good experience fighting tall men too and knows what to do with them.
I put my 5 on Haye to win.
However, I put my 10 on Haye to never have a tattoo done. If he ever were to do such a thing, he says, "My Mum would kill me."
So now you know how I grade my bets.
