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.

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.
:-)

Just in:
A very touching story from a young lady who needs some help. Read on:
From Miss Marram Muhammed.
Hello Dear One,
Dear with profound respect and humble submission submission, I beg to state the following few lines for your kind consideration, I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read the following appeal with sympathetic mind. I must confess that it is with great hopes, joy and enthusiasm that I write you this mail which I know and believe by the faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health, My name is Miss Marram Muhammed, I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Ali Muhammed. My father was a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital of Ivore Coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 20th May 2010. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of mine who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special.
Before the death of my father on May 2010 last year, he called me and informed me that he has the sum of Ten Million, Five Hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10,500,000.00) he deposited in a private Bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire. He told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave me all the necessary legal documents regarding to this deposit with the Bank.
I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want an honest and GOD fearing partner overseas who I can transfer this money with his assistance and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if I so desire. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant Presidential political crisis going on here in our country Cote D'Ivoire which want to led to WAR.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world.. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:
1. Can you honestly help me from your heart?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the fund has being transfeered to your account and i come over to meet you ?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter.
Anticipating hearing from you soon.
Thanks and may Allah bless you for your concern to help an orphan like me.
Kind Regards,
Marram Muhammed,
Please reply to: marrammuhammed@yahoo.cn

Well I just hope no one is going to waste time and energy in replying to Miss Marram.
Reason being that within minutes of seeing this plea for understanding, I replied with my offer and have already completed a bank transfer.
What a cracking deal I have just completed.
On arranging a transfer of the total amount, all that was required was for me to transfer only 10% of the total into the bank account of her solicitor (I'm not stupid, I wasnt going to transer it straight into her account).
On clearance, which was completed instantly re a special bank fee clearance, arranged by Miss Marram, in order that no other offer replaced mine,( what a thoughtful person she must be).
On speaking to her via a contact telephone number I received she informed me that it was instant 'Love at first sight'. I had of course sent her my photograph via the internet.
She also sent me her photograph by return.
What a beautiful, sexy young lady.
We are already planning a date, in her country, as she is arranging a flight on my behalf. I have wired the price for a first class ticket, as luckily she has a relative in the travel industry, so she can get me a big discount.
I also could not believe my luck when he told me that her only health problem, was she is a nymphomaniac, who although having treatment still has problems abstaining from sex several times a night.
If things turn out well, I might be able to persuade her to marry me, although she says that we would have to live in the UK as her relatives could cause trouble if we lived in her country.
She did say a bribe to her family could work, so I am just about to send her another grand or two. It's worth a go, as if they won't accept said bribe, she will return it when we first meet.
I would like advice though.
Should I contemplate marriage to a ninfo, after all as a pensioner, it could have harmful effects and I don't want to die too early after making all that money thats coming to me.
