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.

I researched the anti-venom question: Negative result.

An Anti-Hystamine pill in the first instance would probably be a good idea with an antiseptic cream and maybe a dressing too, to the wound site. Then keep an eye out for any symptoms or reactions developing, eg, chest pains or nervous system problems, such as tremors.

If any occur - a visit to A&E at the nearest hospital is probably the best thing to do.

At my age, I would just pour myself a larger than usual brandy and leave the bottle in easy reach.

It would be a pity to leave it behind.

Your not off upstairs yet are you?

Fred
Cameron will be PM even after the next election.

Conservatives in for the next 15 yrs I say.

A few Con artists in jail for the next 15 yrs more like it.

Are you pleased with the state of the country today. State debt, personal debt.
We are in far more mess then we should be due to the labour spend, spend merchants.

You Con artists are like a broken record.. go to bed there's a good bore.

Better then a piss artist?

BERLIN (Reuters) - Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the euro zone and International Monetary Fund must quickly approve a second bailout for his country to avoid its economic reform plans collapsing, a German newspaper reported.

"The current mood doesn't help us to get through this crisis," Papandreou told the Financial Times Deutschland, in a brief preview of an interview to be published in the paper's Thursday's edition.

"This uncertainty scares investors. If we don't get a decision soon supporting the second Greek programme so that the country can begin its far-reaching reforms, the programme itself could be held up."

The prime minister said he was open to proposals currently being discussed in the euro zone about potentially using the existing euro zone bailout scheme -- the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) -- for Greece to buy back its debt.

"This idea could alleviate Greece's debt burden and also its debt servicing costs," Papandreou told the newspaper. But such issues had to be sorted out quickly: "It could theoretically take two weeks or much longer, which would cause much more damage."

The 440 billion euro (388 billion pounds) EFSF, set up last year shortly after the first Greek bailout, has been used to help Ireland (Berlin: IIK.BE - news) and Portugal.

Some in the European Central Bank and Germany have objected to such an idea, though the finance ministry in Berlin said on Wednesday such a move was "theoretically" possible already, suggesting a change in the German stance.

In another section of the interview released later, Papandreou said he hoped to hire private sector tax collectors to boost efforts to collect owed taxes and combat evasion.

"We will probably outsource this task to private companies, because we have the impression the state administration cannot do it and has not proven itself very effective in the task," he said, adding that around 14,000 Greeks owed some 36 billion euros in taxes

Dreams,

Under another con. government a state assisted burial.

You will be recycled by Cameron's Big society.

Hays,

The actions of this Co government will bear fruit within the next 6-12 months,

They have kill off the likely hood of any early economic recovery.

The ongoing "recession" will effect the prospects of Middle England.

The costs of Education (universities) and Medical care, Social support systems will come home to the Middle classes and the enlarging group of "golden oldies" and those who support them ans see their "inheritances" going down the drain.

Instead of taking the "chance" of expanding out of a recession with "stagnant" costs, this government is contracting the economy.

I think that there will be a backlash to this government before it leaves "power".

You were wrong about Muddyock and News Corp and BSKYB.

Could the fly past for the tories whose "successes" relied on the mucky press.

Good to still see you are with us Fred1new(your post 11541) I thought you were

Earthquake hits English Channel

An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 has struck in the English Channel, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said.

The quake had a depth of 10km and its epicentre was south of Portsmouth, according to the BGS.

Residents in parts of West Sussex reported buildings shaking for a few seconds at about 0800 BST.

Sussex Police, Solent Coastguard and West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said they had not been called out to any incidents related to it.

Small earthquakes are not uncommon in the British Isles.

In January a 3.6-magnitude quake struck 9km (5.5 miles) north-west of Ripon, North Yorkshire.

So the Beckham's have named their new child Harper Seven. The last time I heard that was when a bloke with a hair lip gave me the time.
