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.

Sesame Street YouTube channel hit by porn hack

Can train technology re-invent the wheel?


Rail transport has not fundamentally changed in the 200 years since the invention of metal rails but a new wave of transport ideas - from ones already in development to "concept" contraptions - could change the way we commute forever.

I'm sure you've heard the expression, "As queer as a candyfloss doorknocker!"

Well, here's another, that's fairly similar: "As cheap as a chocolate orange!"

Quote: One shopper claimed on Facebook that she had managed to "raid" two stores to purchase an astonishing 246 oranges. Usually that would have cost her 676.50, but on Tuesday it would have cost her a mere 71.34.

Never heard of any of those maybe its because I live down South.

Nice to see that the coalition is devaluing its debt by 5% a year.

Pity about all those in cash.

Perhaps they can have a rest in one of the prison described.

But this is what Cameron promised before the election.

Happy days, perhaps I will stay in the N. Broads, at least the sun is shining for the moment.

Skinny, re post 12683, I'm sure you realised this, but the date of that flying penguin report is significant. Just not sure everyone else would catch on!

SC yes - I remembered having seen it at some point :-)

What a complete farce.

Dale Farm travellers' site eviction starts

Officers in riot gear entered the site after breaking down a rear fence just after 07:00 BST, prompting angry confrontations.

The Rioter's Preyer

Our father,
Who art in prison,
Me mum dont' know his name,
Yer riots come,
It's gonna be done
In Birmingham as it is in London .
Give us this day our welfare rent
And forgive us our looting,
As were happy to loot those who defend stuff against us,
Lead us not into employment,
But deliver us free housing,
For thine is the Reebok,
The Burberry & the Barcardi
Forever and ever
...innit.

(NB. The 'Preyer' and not 'Prayer')

Exec,

I wonder how many children of the "lords and ladies" know their "real" parents.

And how many of them are living off the lootings of the predecessors a century, or so ago and feel very protective of the "rightful possessions".

It is not the looting, but whether you are held responsible for doing so.

Back to the beaches.

Edited for the stalking thicky.

" I not the looting, but whether you are held responsible for doing so."


Translation anybody.


I wonder how many children of the Union Baron's know their "real" parents.

And how many of them are living in mansion's paid for by the union member's , I see they are trying to get Arthur Scargill evicted .

Back to the beaches - a nursing home ? :-)

Not me Guv. Its a set-up.

Further to the conversation on the RKH thread - I seem to remember reading or hearing that the amount of radium in Brazil nuts was such that if you walked into a typical Nuclear power station with a pocket full of them, you would set off the safety alarm.

radium gas is a problem in part's of Cornwall , seeping up into house's.

Isn't that radon?

Correct skinny.

Let's hear it for Salford Council, who have reduced the cost of 'looking after' one of their resident problem families by 2/3rds!

If I'm reading this correctly, it now looks like they only cost the council a mere 65,000 per year instead of the previous 200,000

Apparently, 'The Gallaghers' were going into debt to buy alcohol and stuff like that.

Well, I think they were. Anyway, they are not doing it so much now. Which is nice.

Oh, and now only one social worker is now dealing with the whole family of five instead of obviously five social workers. So that's not too nice for the social workers.
