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.

Execline,

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

Greek,
A question for you and a chance to appear on the centre of the stage!
As a previous solid upright law enforcement officer, how would you proceed in a dubious case with a background such as Liam Fox seems to be in at present?

He admits to breaking the recognised rules of office, even to lack of judgment.

Would you prosecute him, or simply relieve him of office?

If I admitted manipulating, or ignoring the known rules, for potential gain either in the here and now, or at a later date, would you smile on me, or investigate of attempt to have me prosecuted.

=========

Perhaps, this is this going to be, another case of one rule for them, and one for us?

-------
The slippery slope of "power".

Good try Fred , but Greekman won't take the bait.

I hope Liam Fox made a few pennies from teaming up with his friend. Maybe they could get a few bribes for defense contracts. What is the point of being in power if you can't make a bob or two. I am sure that labour ministers made a bit, now it is the turn of the Liberals and Conservatives.

Blair is a good example. There has never been a Prime Minister who has left office and made so much money. These ex Labour government people certainly know how to dip their beaks.

Hays,

Apologies, but I thought you aimed for higher standards of probity.

I always thought Blair was a tory mole, he has certainly live up to some of the seemingly required membership standards.

I think after the last Labour government we have all got used to lower public standards.

Do you mean the MPs expenses' frauds?

It would seem some MPs have already excused themselves and Cameron seems to be condoning, or blinking, when the same standards are being reintroduced by members of his own government.

Favours on the "old boys" network, often stinks.

But I suppose it is another exhibition of one rule for one person and a different rule for another.

Seems the right to break the law when it is convenient for oneself, but outrage when another does likewise.


Will this government be more corrupt than the last.

I watch with interest.

Funny how the majority of MPs in fraud cases was easily amongst the Labour gang.

Rivers of ice: Vanishing glaciers

Stunning images from high in the Himalayas - showing the extent by which many glaciers have shrunk in the past 80 years or so - have gone on display at the Royal Geographical Society in central London.

Is this finally proof the Yeti exists?

Hays,

Check the amounts of "expenses" all parties got away with.

When will Osborne go?

Interesting to watch how Dave deals with the dilemma he is in.

Does he want his "friends" in front of him, or behind him.

===========

But he will support him as long as he needs him.

If you would like to see some fantastic time lapse videos, have a look at:

NB. Sound on. Full Screen. Max Resolution.

I do hope you don't decide to throw your own camera away after watching this stuff!

Cameron is not supporting Fox because he is a friend. He is supporting him at the moment because Fox is tied in with the right wing of the party and he is the token right wing person on the front bench. In a similar way Prescott got his position because Blair accepted him as a token to the left wing.

I hope they don't catch it , but study it from afar and film it , then when they get a chance to obtain a dead body to dissect it.

aldwickk - I agree - IF they are ever found. As the article alludes, this is probably more to do with attracting tourists.

There only seem's to be one newspaper The Daily Express that as run a front page story twice in a matter of a few week's , saying we will have Arctic weather, 20 - temperature's in a matter of weeks.

Hays,

Foxy is a friend of Dave's?


Interesting, is, or perhaps was, Werrity a mutual friend?

Skinny

The DNA test will be interesting

Related to Fred? :-)

Good well be
