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.

Fred

" sticking obstinately to one's own opinion; conceited; " Yes , Fred that's sound's like you .

Out of all the article's criticising Brown selling our Gold , you managed after a long intensive search to find one to suit you argument , well done.

Fred you wrote :
regarding the murder of Joanna Yeates, when I believe you suggested, or, I think more importantly, stated that Chris Jefferies was a pervert.

I doubted, at that time, that the opinion was based on any real knowledge of that individual, or any of his actions. (I may be wrong.)

I believe that Jefferies sued successfully a certain number of newspapers for making similar remarks.

I have not read any withdrawal by you of the remark.


Leading National newspaper's printed that based on information among other sources a couple who rented a flat in his house. I don't know what he sued the papers for but I don't think it was just that , but more likely implying that he left his teaching post for improper conduct.

I was only basing my opinion on what I and ten's of thousand's other's reader's read and heard.

" I have not read any withdrawal by you of the remark." He won his case against the newspapers concerned.

So are you saying all those reader's who were mislead and lied to should withdraw any remark's spoken and printed ?

Aids,

I am not aware of what ten's of thousand's other's reader's read and heard.
However, I would suggest it reasonable for you to obtain information or opinions from more reliable sources and to be critical of the information when you obtain it before broadcasting.

There is such a thing, other than for the gullible, of evaluation of the "facts" as "given". Herding oneself with others does reduce ones responsibility of what you broadcast to others.

Personally, I would be ashamed of myself, if I had stated such an opinion based on the seemingly scant knowledge you had, and then stating it in the manner you did.

I still think that Amanda Knox is guilty. Did you see the TV coverage of her at the airport leaving for home laughing and smiling ? and the difference when she thanked everyone for their support in her home town, what a actress. I may be wrong but its my gut feeling

Re: post 12587

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less.'

Aids,

Once again, you are entitled to your opinion.

At her age and on being released after 3-4 years in captivity, I can imagine her happiness and that of her seemingly very supportive family.

The decision was based on a court re-evaluation of evidence and having done so, it pronounced her not guilty.

The conclusions, derived by the prosecution from DNA evidence at the time of her prosecution, seemed to many as dubious.

There were many other features of the prosecution's case, which seemed dubious to many, who were not emotionally involved in the case.

Are you saying Fred is a Dumpty ?

I see F*** is still the main topic of conversation here!
Pity.

World's Shortest Fairy Tale


Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
the girl said NO!
And the guy lived happily ever after and
rode motorcycles,, went fishing, sailed boats,
hunted, played golf a lot, drank beer and whiskey
and had money in the Bank and left the toilet seat up
and farted whenever he wanted to.
THE END.

Skinny,

Ah if only I had been that guy.

WHY.

Why, Why, Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee due to insufficient funds when they already know you're broke?

Why is it that when someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe, you believe them but, if they tell you there is wet paint, you have to touch it to check?

Why do they use sterilized needles for lethal injections?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose cruel idea was it to put an "s" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that, no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people run over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the first end you try?

How do those dead bugs get into enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart, then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right"? Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

Why, in winter, do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

Do you ever wonder why you gave me your e-mail address in the first place?

And the latest.

Why are government trying to persuade us to pay off our debts AND spend, and HOW are we going to do this with less money.
Also why is further debt bad for us and yet is good for governments.

DID THE QE2 USED TO BE A SHIP THERE HIS TWO AIDS AND FOOD AID GOT 1987 IN MY UK NHS NUMBER ODD WITH 42 TURNED INTO 24 6 TIMES TABLE WITH SOME HOLY WALL SIGNED WFP

LIKE CAPE INTO APE C FOR C@@t

Yes. Really? Really? Cape into ape? Hmmm?

I should go back to the NHS, mate, and complain.

*backs off slowly and quietly*

Anyone know the blonde on the left?

.

Surely they are both the same bird.

The one on the left is the girl you chat up at a party, then take to bed when you have had a few too many.
The one on the right is the one you wake up sober lying next to.

Come, on you know you have been there.

:-) Actually why am I smiling!

Greek

I suppose the one on the right is 'a 32 pinter'.

And, talking of 'drinks and women', the one on the left may well belong to a group of women on Facebook apparently, who, when stating what their favourite drink is, use coded messages:

What do you drink?

tequila: I'm a single woman
rum: I'm a touch and go woman
champagne: I'm an engaged woman
redbull: I'm a woman in a relationship
beer: I'm a married woman
vodka: I'm the "other one"
sprite: I'm a woman that can't find the right man
whisky: I'm a single woman but with friends that won't stop partying
liquor: I'm a woman that wishes she was single.
gin: I'm a woman that wants to get married

And there's apparently more secret messages, which are to do with a lady's Facebook status too.......

eg,

Q. Where do you put your handbag when you get home?

Answers are usually one of the following:

I like it on the couch.
I like it on the kitchen worktop.
I like it on the dresser.
Etc, etc.

I think we should start one for blokes.

Execline,

Whats the code mean if a girl says she drinks Guinness.
