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.

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.

What are you smoking Fred.

Can you not spell Murdoch. Has the drink taken its toll?

Murdoch reminds me of the boxer, doesn't know when to quit, So keep it going Rupe.. keep it going.

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.

He has done it again?

Dreams.

I have to confess I am drinking a glass of a nice Rhone I brought back from France.















My first for 24 hours.

How about you?

Thought so, only a glass. lol

Exec, your post 11371, fascinating stuff! I had not seen that before. What a difference 13 years has made to Steve Jobs!

Even Fred has fallen asleep.

Have you finished that curry yet bb

.

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..

Joke doing the rounds : they hacked into required field's mobile and got only : Vodaphone up 1 penny, Afren down half a penny, Centamin Egypt no change, Rockhopper down 5 pence....etc....

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?

And on a lighter note -


Paddy & Mick find three hand grenades, so they take them to a police station.
Mick: "What if one explodes before we get there?"
Paddy: "We'll lie and say we only found two."

Joe says to Paddy: "Close your curtains the next time you're having sex wij your wife. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday."
Paddy says: "Well the joke's on them cos I wasn't even at home yesterday."




Paddy says to Mick - "I'm ready for a holiday, only this year I'm going to do it a bit different.
Three years ago I went to Spain and Mary got pregnant.
Two years ago I went to Italy and Mary got pregnant.
Last year I went to Majorca and Mary got pregnant."
Mick asks - "So what are you going to do this year?".
Paddy replies, - "I'll take her with me!"


Paddy says to Mick, "Christmas is on a Friday this year".
Mick says "Let's hope it's not the 13th."

Paddy's in the bathroom and Murphy shouts to him. "Did you find the shampoo?"
Paddy says, "yes but it's for dry hair and I've just wet mine."

Very funny skinny.

Have you heard the one about the two seat light aircraft which crashed into cemetry on the outskirts of Dublin? During a press conference the police confirmed there were no survivors, the current death toll was 34 but they were still finding bodies.

Hats off to Murdoch & his advisors. If he's doing what I think he is its a masterstroke and explains how he got to were he is.

edit: I'd even go as far as saying someone involved in this is a genius!

mnamreh,
not a problem at all. I take everything on here as a laugh, otherwise what is the point of being on here. Good to have a good old banter on here.

regards dc

Do you know what is black and blue and bobs around in the Irish Sea?












An Englishman who tells Irish jokes. ;-)

Paddy: You know dem termos flasks.
Mike: Yeh
Paddy: You know they keep hot things hot and cold things cold
Mike: Yeh
Pady: How do they know?
