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.

Aids,
Can you read, or do you have somebody to do it for you.
=========
I "said nothing inappropriate" the same as "I don't want to be caught out lying again".
====================
I must admit Cameron and his "cronies" (Murdock, Brooks and some of his cabinet), do look like a Carry On series.
Just waiting for the next Gaff.
=========
Cameon should step down. He is not only an embarrassment for the country, but even the tory party is blushing because of him.

McDonald's Olympic restaurant will be busiest in the world
18:52, Wednesday 20 July 2011
The busiest McDonald's is the world will be within the Olympic park in London, when it opens for business next summer, seating 1,500 customers.
The fast food company is a long-standing sponsor of the Olympics, and as a result has a monopoly on all the catering outlets within the Olympic park in Stratford, east London.
Though it is understood the company will sublet some of the venues to other companies in a bid to assuage fears from British consumers that the only meals they can buy in the park is fast food.
McDonald's is building four new restaurants at the park, with the flagship outlet seating 1,500 customers, ten times the average size of a restaurant in Britain.
During the month of the games it will become the busiest of the company's 30,000 restaurants in the world, temporarily taking over the Pushkin Square outlet in Moscow.
The company estimates that it will sell 1.75m meals at the four Olympic outlets during the month of the games. It usually sells about 72.5m across its 1,200 outlets in the UK.
During the 2008 Beijing games it sold 1.25m meals at the Olympic park.
Jill McDonald, the chief executive of McDonalds UK, said: To be involved in the greatest sporting event on earth is hugely exciting and we are delighted to be able to celebrate one year to go by showcasing these plans.
Visiting McDonalds is fun and the design and graphics in these restaurants will take that to new heights. We want everyone who visits our Olympic Park restaurants to have the best possible customer experience and are confident that the look and feel of these cutting-edge designs will provide that environment

Dreams,
I think you must be confuse once again.
I am quite happy using this thread.
Your posting are beginning to resemble those of an adolescent Aids.
What tory revelations are going to be revealed to-morrow?
I would think, as a business man, Murdock must have thought the 26 meeting within 15 months with Cameron to be rewarding.
I don't suppose they were discussing the weather.
Perhaps, Muddy was interviewing for further deals or appointments.
I suggest you take the peg off your nose.

Not according to polls! Cameron is still far more popular than Milliband.

Hays,
I wish you would ask your party's whips to get they party line straight.
Can keep up with all the ducking and diving its doing.
Did he or didn't he?
Don't ask Hunt.
He doesn't even know Cameron.
(Why is Georgie so quiet?

Thirteen European economists have written an open letter to European leaders, imploring them to take decisive action on the eurozone crisis when they meet on Thursday. Here is their letter in full:
A call to action: EU leaders must act to save the euro and avoid a recession
The e urozone crisis is coming to a head. This column is an open letter to European leaders imploring them to take decisive action this week. Any more delays could mark the end of the Eurozone as we know it.
The debt crisis has reached the core of the Eurozone.
Italy and Spain are now directly involved in a serious credibility crisis.
The creditworthiness of more than one-third of the Eurozone is being challenged.
For the first time, the very survival of the euro is at stake.
EU leaders gathering in Brussels on Thursday face a historical responsibility. It is essential that an agreement be reached on a plan that prevents further escalation of the crisis.
As economists actively involved in the policy debate, we have offered a number of suggestions. The common thrust of these proposals is that the expansion the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) is essential; it must be able to make banks strong enough to withstand a default by Greece. The EFSF should also be allowed to operate in secondary bond markets and be given operational flexibility and independence. There are many technical details and many variants of these proposals. The important thing is to acknowledge that leaders are out of time. Deciding to not decide could mark the end of the Eurozone as we know it.

...More Than 34,000 Police Jobs To Go
....More than 34,000 police jobs will be lost as part of Government cuts, Her inspectors have said.
Around 16,200 police officers will be lost by 2015, giving rise to fears crime could go up by 3%, a report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said.
Among police staff, 16,100 will lose their jobs, and 1,800 community support officers will also form part of the overall reduction of 14%.
The figures came from the inspectors' survey of 43 forces across England and Wales.
Protecting policing will be "very challenging", the report said, adding: "Forces will have to transform their efficiency if they are to protect frontline services."
HMIC chief Sir Denis O'Connor said: "The police service must adapt to these changing times in order to deliver the best deal for taxpayers and they will need some support to do this."
