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.

Labour MP Tom Watson sorry over Twitter 'imposter'

Labour MP Tom Watson has apologised after an intern sent a message on Twitter pretending to be him.

The tweet said: "I should log out of my twitter so that my intern doesn't twit-rape me..."

Just reviewing my bits and bobs,it would seem that all the razzmatazz and pushing out of daring do rns amounts to sweet fanny adams,Reminds me of the haunting story of the old empty barn!!! There was nothing in it!!

Mines full of Arthur Shaw share certificates !

Very funny - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uub0z8wJfhU

I see the Scot lost - Andy Murray loses to Novak Djokovic in Australian Open semis

Skinny,

If I could play tennis like Murray I would mind even being English.


Ps. only for a few hours though. 8-)
============

I have played a 2hour game of Squash and 2-3 hour game of Tennis, but 5 hours at that level is pushing it. I wouldn't like their bodies for the next few days.

But beautiful tennis.

Yes, but what a brilliant game.
Best I have ever seen Murray play.

Murray's best game ever, IMHO.

5th Set: 5 games all and the score gets to 40-40.

It doesn't get much closer than that to beating Djokovic, currently the best player in the world.

Well done, Murray!

AIM oil companies take action over bulletin board 'lies'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/7935231/AIM-oil-companies-take-action-over-bulletin-board-lies.html


The Daily Telegraph understands that a string of small oil and gas explorers will follow Nighthawk Energy and Nostra Terra Oil and Gas (NTOG) in taking legal action against message board users, who they claim are trying to drive down the share price in order to profit from short-selling.
According to sources, the chief executives of a host of energy groups have met to discuss the "extremely damaging" comments about the companies and their management teams.
Nighthawk and Nostra Terra on Monday used the courts to force the two biggest bulletin boards, iii and ADVFN, to reveal the identities of the anonymous users.
The City of London Police are investigating allegations of market abuse in relation to the matter.
The companies allege that a "hardcore" of bulletin board users have created dozens of fake 'avatars' to spread scurrilous and untrue gossip, which has now been taken down from the websites. A blog entitled "Say no to NTOG" was also recently removed from the internet.
Matt Lofgren, chief executive of NTOG, said he was personally targeted with untrue suggestions that he appeared in court on charges of drink driving – when in fact he only has a speeding ticket.
"That wasn't even one of the worst," he said. "We think there are multiple users with multiple names trying to create the image of a big group. I believe that their motivation is simply money.
"We're not going to stand for people spreading lies. I'm all for freedom of speech but some people have abused that."
David Bramhill, chief executive of Nighthawk, said the company was very likely to take pursue claims against the worst offending bulletin board users.
"This isn't about muzzling investors that want to have a go at the company, or who want to complain that they've lost money, or boast that they've made money," Mr Bramhill said.
"That's free speech and they're welcome to it. This is about calculated lies."
A spokesman for ADVFN said it is "often" forced to reveal the identities of its anonymous bloggers following court orders.

That should improve the boards contents.

Good to see Cameron is protecting his bankers.

Perhaps, he may be hoping for a place on one of boards in a few months time.

Mind that would be better than having him poncing around in Brussels.

Ddon't forget it was Labour that negociated the bonus deal.

Don't forget that it is the Cons that are "supposed" to be in Government.

labour created the banking bonus deal and for that idiot miilipeed to say that cons should of cancelled the bonus is utter twaddle - because it would have cost more in compensation when bankers would sue the arse off the gov for breach of contract (human rights LOL) etc labour did so much damage after all those years in power and over spent by so much i doubt it will ever be mended - another massive problem labour created is loss of border control and mass immigration - remember the stats labour released were skewed down anyhow as no one knows how many really are in the uk and the figure given were for adults only and did not include the children - and these immigrants dont have 2.4 children more like 24!! multiply that over the years and watch them go on to benefits too plus the associated crime etc - as for those blasted human rights!!! brought in only for the benefit of legal guys obviously eg mad cherie blair and the rest of them............. argggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Hays,

You have been so quiet I thought your had "past over". 8-0

I think you must be blaming your grandfather for the mistakes you are making to-day.

It is time for Cameron and fellow cohorts realised he that they are responsible for their own failures.

========

I thought the last parliament was corrupt and some of the MPs are lucky not to be doing time,

If the rioters had been up to the tricks some of the present government seems to have been up to and running with associates then they have been and still seeking succour from.

Panorama was interesting.

Have a look at :-

What must it be like trying to “to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds”?

Another question for you. As an observer of M.E., what is going to be the outcome in Syria?

Gib,

You must have had a bad day in the markets!

Nothing wrong with paying the bonus anyway. It is part of his pay package. He will likely get it in the and some other way.
