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.

Again, it doesn't say much for Cameron's judgement.

(Quick open, forward and then reverse.)

I see king sadim (Gordon Brown) was so eager (desperate) to look good, he contributed to England missing out on hosting the World Cup.

Allegations surfacing on Twitter that NOTW instigated hacking of the mobile phone of the father of Jessica Chapman, one of the Soham victims. Where will this appalling sequence of events end?

At the bank probably!

I am just another cynic!

I am another David Cameron. dc

I would think fraudster will be the way DC is regarded in a few years time.

Interesting to hear that News of World are giving any new information (relevant to Coulson, Mulcair, Brookes, Cameron?) they find to the police.

What interests me, is what about the "old information", where is that going?

But handing the information to the police in this case seems a little like the gamekeeper handing a pheasant to the poachers, already on his payroll.

Why can't the police examine the contents of the "management offices" themselves, rather than having it filtered to them.

Again, I wonder who has the dirtiest hands in this latest adventure.

I think Vince Cables confessions "Mr Cable says he has "declared war on Rupert Murdoch" and plans to block the media baron's efforts to take full control of BSkyB. " was an indicator to what some of the tory hierarchy were/are up to.

Seems to be a "stench" around some of the No 10 coalition "agreements" and "actions".

The Treasury has buckled under pressure from the energy industry by trimming its 2bn windfall tax on North Sea oil producers to provide loopholes for early stage, less profitable offshore drilling operations. Just four months after George Osborne imposed a special levy on oil and gas exploration to fund a drop in petrol duty, the Government yesterday altered its plans by allowing companies to offset greater start-up costs against tax, the Times reports.

Shall we club together and get Fred his own thread - or just abandon this one to him for his personal rants and axe-grinding?

It is the Talk to Yourself thread so best just leave him to it.

Glad to see Mighty Mouse is posting again.

I wonder how many are still reading the thread.

Is it more than the "News of the World", or getting closer?

....An honest German motorist who stumbled across more than a million euros ($1.4 million) accidentally dumped on a motorway, handed the cash over to police on Wednesday.

The money was dropped two days earlier by a cash transit van on a slip road near Bad Kissingen in Bavaria.

It was discovered by a 41-year-old military worker who handed three suitcases of cash to police

What the hell is "tweet0EmailPrint" when it's at home then?

How the ----- do I know. That bit does not matter. Perhaps it should read twit.

Funny enough we was talking about plums last night, the real thick ones.

Phone hacking has been around for ages.

This is a cool snippet from the 1998 Documentary Silicon Valley: A 100 Year Renaissance. Its a response by Apples CEO Steve Jobs to a story about Steve and Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak manufacturing and selling Blue Box phone hacking devices.



Steve was so impressed with the capabilities of the home brewed device that he goes so far as to say that If there was no Blue Box, there would be no Apple.

If youre unfamiliar with the Blue Box, it was a hacking device that allowed users to place free calls to any number, even hidden or private lines, by replicating the tones used to switch long-distance calls and using them to route the users own call, bypassing the normal switching mechanism. The device no longer works as it because phone companies have mostly switched over to digital, but this was basically the beginning of computer hacking as we know it and it led to the founding of Apple.
