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.

Interesting to watch.
I think Cameron would like to say yes to the SKY B take over to Murdock, but if the Cameron government says yes then the "free" press, Media and the electorate, will lynch him.
If he says NO, then the "Murdock2 press will scalp Cameron over the period he hangs on as PM. (Clegg for PM. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH)
Interesting, now that the News of the World is closing, I can see some defensive revelations coming from the employees.
Fascinating, could be the basis for a computer game or "board" game called "Decision Making".
When one plans deception, get it right!

Fred
As you are so keen on picking people up on their spelling, it is Murdoch and NOT Murdock!
I think he will still take over the company that is spelt BSKYB and NOT SKY B.
His other newspapers such as The Times don't have any problems. And it was not Murdoch that was hacking. Hacking does seem somewhat of an extreme description of what took place. Someone just played back some voicemail messages. The only ones that are at all serious are the ones relating to what were ongoing crime investigations.
Various celebreties have each had 100,000 or so in damages for the hacking. I wonder if the 'NOW' will compensate all the other ordinary people. I doubt it.

Hays,
I don't think I have picked up anybody's spelling, being dyslexic myself.
Perhaps, you are showing signs of increasing confusion,
If I am wrong, show me more than one instance of me doing so.
Various celebreties have each had 100,000 or so in damages for the hacking.
Some mistakes.
Murdock will do for me.
But dogs are only as good as their masters.
I doubt that Murdock has a chance in hell of taking over B.BSKYB or B Sky B.
But listening to James Muddydoch (on TV at the moment), I think the he, other owners and executives are digging their own grave deeper and deeper.
The sad thing is that the Times, when I was a school boy and student, was a paper which was respected by the majority of people. (Even if they had other interpretations of the "facts" given.)
It does not seem to be now.

NM,
You didn't crow.
But my mother always told me as a little boy not to play with some boys as they would get me into trouble.
My father new better.
I must admit my spelling is appalling by the standards of other members of the family and I am grateful for the spelling checker, which tends to pick them uo as I type.
I wish there was a better grammar checker, which would correct my .,:;"!? etc.
Especially the ? , for which I often substitute .
I suspect that I am more interested in ideas and processing and have an indifference to the actual presentation.
Interestingly, one of my daughters, who has a postgraduate research job, also is/was dyslexic, but is able to program, analyse data and write reports.
All thanks to "computers" and the repeated imprinting from the screen.
But, her and my approach to initial analysis of problems is often at odds with the approach of her sisters. The end points are similar.

Thought processing is fascinating.

Anyway, it is back to watching how the shenanigans of Cameron and Coulson develop.
-------------
The associations between political groups and the press has always been an area of abuse, but how much they actually effect the outcome of elections is debatable.
But it is interesting for me, to watch the press association and the tories ducking and diving.
For me, the moral indignation of Cameron is amusing. Strikes me as grasping for the moral high ground, in order to slip down on the other side.
(He really does appear to be a ham actor.)
Mind as the Tobacco companies say, Advertising doesnt effect the number of smokers, only the brand they inhale..

Watching Cameron squirming on BBC NEWS.
If Cameron has to appear as a character witness for A Coulson in a court of law , which way do you think his evidence will influence the jury?
