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.

Fascinating to see how the Muddydock empire unravels.

Amazing how you can get so many crooked "journalist" in more than one bag without knowing.

Perhaps, Muddy didn't do the usual standard of investigation before hiring them.

Or is it, once again, "birds of a feather" flocking together.

I think it would be interesting to Cameron, Osborne's and tory head quarter's private E-mails during the period up to the last elections.

Was it a party ijn the hands of Muddy and Asches?

8-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

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.!


Haven't received a correction of the first statement, and just wonder if you are long on short on Murdock and BSKYB.

PS.

Cameron seems to be spending a lot of time out of the HP.

I thought he would be lapping up the limelight.

Somebody suggested that he may be buying a paper shredder!

YE,HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Oil traded flat on Tuesday after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said global demand will be the highest ever this year, although the "unsteady" global economy may slow demand more than previously thought.

Brent crude, which is used to price many international oil varieties, rose just four cents to $117.20 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London by 5pm.

Analysts and investors pay special attention to world demand forecasts. The expectation that China and other developing nations will keep using more crude has supported prices this year despite weak gasoline consumption in the US and a festering credit crisis in Europe (Chicago Options: ^REURTRUSD - news) that has raised concerns about international demand for oil.

While OPEC thinks global demand will continue to increase this year to the highest levels ever, the monthly report it released on Tuesday said that demand won't grow as much as it previously expected. The cartel said daily world consumption will increase this year by 1.36m barrels - down from a previous estimate of 1.38m barrels - to an average 88.18m barrels.

OPEC said it cut demand expectations "as the unsteady global economy has added risks to the forecast". The report also said it's hard to estimate how much oil the US will consume this year. Gasoline consumption fell ahead of the summer driving season as retail prices approached a national average of $4 per gallon. A gallon of regular has since dropped by nearly 35 cents to a national average of $3.636 on Tuesday, according to AAA, Wright Express (NYSE: WXS - news) and Oil Price Information Service. It's still 92.1 cents higher than the same time last year.

Meanwhile, the Labor Department said on Tuesday that job openings were flat in May, suggesting that hiring may not pick up this summer. The US trade deficit also jumped in May to the highest level since October 2008, primarily because of a surge in the price of oil imports at that time.

In Europe markets slumped on fears that Greece's financial crisis would spread to Italy and Spain. The dollar continued to rise against other major currencies. Oil, which is priced in US currency, tends to fall as the dollar rises and makes crude more expensive for investors holding foreign money.

Dreams.

It's all right, it's alright!

We are alright, Cameron and Osborne are at the helm of the good ship UK.

All we have to do is up anchor and float away.

Pity the Mental Hospitals. have closed.

PS.

I thought China GDP is forecast lower for this year than expected.

That could reduce oil price increases slightly, but b. European and UK recovery.

Simples - more oil used = more pounds to me

Britons rely on credit cards 21 days after payday

tweet0Print..Topics:Credit Cards.Paul Farrow, 7:15, Wednesday 13 July 2011

A quarter of Brits use credit cards to tide them over until the next payday, according to moneysupermarket.

Britain's credit card crunch day' when people resort to using credit cards as a fallback for when cash in their current account runs low is on average 21 days after they've been paid each month.

Research from moneysupermarket.com, showed that 11 million people, are turning to their credit card as a fallback when they run out of funds in their current account.

Of this group, whilst the average fallback day is 21 days after payday, one in ten (9 per cent) pull out the plastic less than 15 days after they have been paid, meaning they will be funding the remaining fortnight on their cards.

A further third say they use their credit card for big ticket items, such as holidays, which they say they may not be able to repay immediately.

Kevin Mountford, head of banking at moneysupermarket.com said: "With most of the population feeling the pinch at the moment, it's no surprise to see so many people reliant on credit so early in the month. However, unless you plan this properly and know you're able to pay off your balance, this can be a dangerous trap to fall into."

Ouch! Mum felt her pelvis crack as she had baby.

Druggies in Yorkshire have taken to using dental syringes to inject ecstasy directly into their mouths. This dangerous practice is known as "E by gum".

Strange when the PM looks more like the leader of the opposition than Ed..

Again probably preparing for an U-turn.

.

Just got back from my mates funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service.

.

How long can Milliband stay leader of the opposition? His popularity seems to be sinking in his party. Every time I see him on TV seems to be getting more and more slimy. He seems to have given up on ideas and just spends his time trying to score points.

Beware of The False Widow Spider



A deadly spider related to the Black Widow is spreading across Britain because of climate change, experts have warned.

The False Widow, a purple and black creature with a body the size of a 1p piece, is said to carry enough venom to kill a human.

Since arriving in Devon from the Canary Islands, the spider has established colonies in Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.

The spiders do not usually survive in colder parts of the UK, but a series of mild winters have led them to migrate to other areas.

Spider recorder David Haigh, of Cheltenham, has reported sightings of the species in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. One was in a shed in Tewkesbury and the other was spotted in Longney, he said.

The False Widow is one of 12 arachnid species known to bite humans in the UK.

In January, Lyn Mitchell became critically ill after she was bitten by one of the creatures while in bed at her home in Egremont, west Cumbria. Ms Mitchell, 52, suffered a serious allergic reaction to the bite and was rushed to hospital.

"I jumped out of bed, pulled the duvet and sheets back and saw a spider running over the other side," she said at the time. "It was only tiny, black and shiny, and it ran so quickly. When I looked down I noticed two little pin marks on my chest."

The False Widow first started to arrive in banana shipments from the Spanish islands about 140 years ago.

Its bite is not deadly but can cause swelling and severe pain.

So BEWARE! You have now been told!

Exec,

The home secretary is not a widow. But I keep on thinking Cruella has reappeared.

Thank goodness I haven't any Dalmatians.
