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.

Yes and the market didn't flinch.

I'm beginning to think the market wouldn't flinch if it had its b***s chopped off.

It feels safe with the coalition's management of the economy., :<<<<<

Recession ? What recession.

Aldwickk,

Saw it on the news yesterday.
My thoughts were.

1 This is not art, it is simply someone who has got an idea, and is going to be paid a vast amount of cash to play with a floating bit of junk.

2 A total waste of money.

3 He should get a proper job.

As I read yesterday. Don't blame the Emperor if no one can see he has no clothes.

Starting from the 26th, Pink Floyd - remastered albums are available - Amazon Link.

"Open this malware or I'll sue you"

The latest social engineering trick to get victims to open malicious email attachments accuses them of being spammers and threatens to sue them if they don't stop.

The eurozone approach to debt.

I am glad that Cameron and Osborne have no plan b.


Have they left for the Cayman islands yet?

Speed-of-light experiments give baffling result at Cern

Puzzling results from Cern, home of the LHC, have confounded physicists - because it appears subatomic particles have exceeded the speed of light.

Two questions.

If something goes faster than the speed of light, how do you see it.
Also if you (and they) can't see it how do they know.

Like you say, puzzling to say the least.

Who, What, Why: Can you dodge a falling satellite?

Fragments from a satellite falling to Earth are expected to land on Friday. So is it possible to take evasive action?

I'm sure I've met women who have used this excuse.

Scientists might have explained promiscuous behaviour

Scientists have shown that inbreeding leads to female promiscuity.

Some cultures encourage interbreeding, IE cousins with cousins via arranged marriages etc.
I will say no more, re the PC brigade.

You just cannot believe this stuff!

How absolutely stupid are our authorities! We ought to start a thread solely to concentrate on it all.

Not only do 'travellers' not travel, or pay ANY taxes of any kind , or are ever held to be accountable for anything to anyone under any civil claims (ie. it's totally impossible to ever sue them, and a bailiff would never dare visit to seize goods to levy a claim even if you did sue them and win) but they all claim bloody benefits!

GYPSY families get benefits despite living illegally at the Dale Farm camp site.

About 25 families are claiming handouts which total 53,625 a year.

Each one claims up to 845 a year to cover council tax.

And they can claim as much as 1,300 every 12 months to rent at the 51-pitch site, even though their homes have no planning permission.

The families face eviction from the Essex site today after winn-ing an 11th-hour reprieve against bailiffs on Monday.

C Jenkin & Son, based in West Sussex, hires out 15 chalets on Dale Farm to gypsies.

A spokeswoman for the company said around six of its units were funded by the council through housing benefits.
Other mobile homes are rented out by travellers on the site.

A council spokeswoman said: People are entitled to make a claim even if the property they are renting does not have planning permission.

She confirmed the authority pays out 25 benefit claims on the illegal site and another nine on the adjacent legal site which has been virtually un- occupied for months.

Len Gridley, 52, who lives close to the camp, said: This all needs investigating.

How can nine people be claiming benefits for the legal site when it is practically empty?

Travellers last night said they were British citizens and entitled to the help.

The High Court will today hear the travellers pleas to stay after a 10-year battle with Basildon Council.

But Mr Justice Edwards- Stuart warned earlier this week: There is sadly no mileage in prolonging the agony.

Tony Ball, Basildon Council leader, had said housing benefits had stopped after it was exposed two years ago.

But after the council admitted still paying out cash, he said: I dont remember saying all claims had stopped, but was advised a number were.
