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.

"greek i had the misfortune to have to go to burnley for a meeting ." Not a BNP meeting was it T?

Tanker,

Racism in sport.

In one of the last games of rugby I played there was one participant who sworn at by the opposition and even members of the home side.


He was never passed the ball, although he was in the right position to score a try.

When we got back to the changing room, nobody spoke to him and there seem to be mutterings about him and attempts to ostracise him.


I feel embarrassed now, that I did not speak up for him as he seemed to be playing the game and fitter than most on the pitch and trying his best.

Afterwards, when I had cooled down a bit I did feel a little sorry for him, but he did stand out.




Often think back to then and wonder what I should have done.

"I started to walk down the street when I heard a voice saying: 'Good evening, Mr. Dowd.' I turned, and there was this big white rabbit leaning against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that, because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name."

N,

Twit twoo.

==================

Tanker,

Name calling would not bother me either, but if I was set upon by a group of youths and beaten up just because I was white, that would rile (understatement) me no end.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

Muslim at The Pearly Gates

A Muslim dies and finds himself before the Pearly Gates.

He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohamed.

Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.

'Are you Mohamed?' he asks.

'No, my son. I am Peter. Mohamed is higher up.
And he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohamed should be higher than Peter.
He climbs the ladder in great strides,
Climbs through the clouds coming to a room
Where he meets another bearded man.

He asks again, 'Are you Mohamed?
'No, I am Moses. Mohamed is higher still.

Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy.
He continues to climb the ladder and, yet again,
He discovers an even larger room
Where he meets another man with a beard.

Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohamed?
'No, I am Jesus...You will find Mohamed higher up.

Mohamed higher than Jesus!
The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher.

Once again, he reaches a larger room where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:
'Are you Mohamed?' he gasps,
As he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.

'No, my son....I am God. But you look exhausted.
Would you like a coffee?'
'Yes, please, my Lord'
God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out:

'Hey, Mohamed, two coffees!'

What was that you were saying about this thread ?

Stable,

Very funny. Will forward on.

Greek.

It seems that Cameron is succeeding with putting Britain on the periphery of Europe.

Well the Europhobes in the tory party must be happy with Cameron who has enabled the UK to be on the periphery of the EU.

It is good to be influential with the nearest trading community.

==========================

Ahead of the summit, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is arriving in Europe to hold talks with top financial officials in several countries. On Tuesday, he will hold a meeting at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt before meeting German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble.

=========

Countries to be visited France, Germany and Italy.

Seems Cameron is not only on the periphery of the tory party and Europe, but added the USA to his list.

I suppose he can always find a Sheila in Australia.
=============

Is he on the bottle?
==========

Mind a few on this thread will be delighted with the progress being made to recuperate the UK independence.

It is good that the UK is on the periphery of the EU. The Eurozone may get downgraded by S&P and we won't.

"Countries to be visited France, Germany and Italy.

Seems Cameron is not only on the periphery of the tory party and Europe, but added the USA to his list."

I guess there isn't much that needs important attention between Cameron & Geithner atm.

Hays,

W&S
