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.

No, but I wish I did.
=====
If I won, not sure what to do with the cash.
By a Cat Flap for Cruella, or pay my debt card down, or increase my borrowings.
Perhaps. I could become a money lender.
=========
Fascinating, a fancy U-turn U-turn in the middle of a conference.
Not bad going.
Will Cameron, make another before the end of the day.
------------------
Being semi-serious, for a moment, it seems that one problem with this present government is their political naivety and lack of managerial ability.
Few of present tory leadership have been in charge of anything larger than an ice cream cart and are basically too immature for the responsibilities they have at the moment.
The activist membership have little political forethought and have no strategy to deal with the present difficulties and rely on chanting out dated mantras, and tea party rants, to and about others.
--------------
The economic period we are in would benefit from advice from some of the cons party elders (unless they are too senile or fixate ideologues) and not party PR advisers.
------------------------------
I have to admit although Vince Cable has been a disappointment, I would prefer him as Chancellor to Osborne.
------------------------
Skinny, apologies. Didn't know you were so sensitive.
No defence for "defense".
My spelling check "threw it up" and I succumbed.

Weather delays launch of Sittingbourne's floating sun
An "artificial sun" measuring more than 60ft wide has been inflated ahead of its launch into the sky over Kent.

Sounds like they could have used Cameron, he is full of hot air.

Told that he is going to finish his speech on a high note.
Hope it is his resignation!

This is not a conspiracy theory as no one could win it with the wrong set of numbers. It looks more like a mistake.
The Euro raffle takes the actua lset of numbers issued and randomly chooses one of them for 1m. It looks like they used last Friday's set of numbers hence no winner. I still have found no one with a ticket beginning with anything else than 'C'.

I used to go to a folk club at the back of a pub in Tottenham Rd and watch Bert Jansch and John Renbourne with a few other musicians. They became the group called the Pentangle. I found my membership card recently. It was The New Contempory Folk Club
I just found a reference to it in the International Times
http://www.internationaltimes.it/page.php?i=IT_1967-04-28_B-IT-Volume-1_Iss-12_012&view=text
folk: Bert Jansch with John Renbourne and Jacqui
McShee, every Sunday at tile Oxford Room,
Horseshoe Hotel, Tottenham Court Road, The New
Contemporary Folk club. 7:30 p.m.. Members: 7/6.
Annual membership 5/-.
I don't know if anyone remembers IT. Their best front page was
"We are the people our parents warned us about"

It was the pub just to the left of the Dominion cinema at the corner of Oxford St and Tottenham Court Rd. It was in the back, just a small room with sometimes just about 20 of us. We all used to drink at the bar together audience and musicians. Then we would take a sort of vote when to start another session. Renbourne was and is also very good. He was more melodic.

Mine began with a C but I did win the wonderous amount of 2.60 on two numbers - nothing to do with the millionaires raffle of course. How it pays to be on the ball Haystack so to speak, very good.
