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.

Mark my words.

Of course they will no doubt turn up and protest anyway, knowing that if they do, little will happen, probably they will be arrested and on appearing at court, receive a slap on the wrist.
This of course will be followed by several appeals, paid for by the tax payer, resulting in a decision by the court of human rights, allowing their appeal and awarding them several thousand pounds in compensation, due to oppression of their human rights.
Of course the Police Force involved, will be censured for unlawful arrest and heavily fined.

Call me cynical, but nothing today surprises me!

Good export figures, those European idiots aren't bailing us out. Have to devalue sterling another 10%.

On a recent trip to the United States, Tony Blair, Ex. Prime Minister of the UK,
addressed a major gathering of Native American Indians.

He spoke for almost an hour on his plans for a CarbonTrading Tax for the UK and Europe

At the conclusion of his speech, the crowd presented him with a plaque
inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.

A very chuffed Tony then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds..

A news reporter later asked one of the Indians how they came to select the new name given to Tony Blair

They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of sh_t that it can no longer fly.

There is only one reason why we are pulling out of Afghanistan , and that is we have been defeated. How long can the Afghan government survive when we leave ? The best they can hope for is a stalemate.
