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.

'If I had received such a mail blah blah blah'

You have. Feel free.

Sorry Greek, Fred is rapidly running out of folk to squelch, they can't all be wrong and even you have admitted he does have a tendancy to make a rod for his own back :o))

I feel a www.FrednGreeksPlaice.com coming on ....

May you have many years of happiness together in your civil partnership.

Chris,

Fully agree re Fred, especially when he posts his pro-labour posts, he winds me up big style.
I don't mind debate, but people who get personally insulting weaken their own augments. As to E-Mails via the MoneyAm site, it is an excellent system that I have used several times, and would hate to see the facility withdrawn due to misuse. I have suggested similar to another site (forwarded e-mail) and they replied that it would not be considered due to possible misuse.
I don't want the same to happen here.

Regards Greek.

Gausie,

Now that I do find funny.

Greek - Absolutely! On reflection should have kept my mouth shut, playing right into Fred's twisted mind. He really isn't that important (The tart)! Cheers :o)))

The e-mails just make feel a little sad at the level of intolerance,

Anyway, in order to stimulate Greek and NM.

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

Drink in hand.

The price of a Clegg, Cameron deal would be Proportional Representation, delay in the "sweeoing cuts" on public services for 12mths and reduction of money spent on the Nuclear Arms.

Cameron and the tories won't swallow that. and if the do they are signing their own death warrants.

Still think a coalition with Lib, Labour and smaller parties. Financially, it will suit them to get their battle funds in place for another election in about 18mths to 2years time..


What I would like to see is a coalition of all major parties with inclusion of some members of the smaller parties.

That the government if formed would accept a fixed term and attempt to sort out for the benefit for the whole country,

1) the economy and the banking and financial industry.
2) electoral reform and franchising of all the voters ie. proportional representation
3) reviewing of the House of Lords and implementations of decisions of the review before going to the country once again.
4) limitation of funding of candidates and restriction of where the money can be obtained from.
5) sorting out payment of MPs and their staff, putting them on the same financial and legal base as other tax payers
6) review of aims of foreign policies

That should be enough for the first six months

Ps.

I think it would be sensible for all parties to swallow their prides for the benefit of the country.

A coalition government would be representative of the majority of the electorate and therefore any legislation introduced would be accepted more readily.

Also the legislation introduced would probably be more moderate and could address the necessary changes for a 5-10-15 year period.

It is a chance.


I don't think the present tory leadership are up to the above, but if they formed a minority government they will run into social problems within a short period of time.

I hope I am wrong about the latter.

If the Lib Dems decide to work with the Tories in preference to Labour and between them DC & NC do the business it could weaken the Labour party where THEY become third in line, thus replacing the Lib Dems.

Hey Greek - did you forward that mail to MAM with a complaint as you said you would?

What bit from earlier did you find amusing?

Remember this? Now that really was hilarious!

In case anybody wants : a free file cleaner....ccleaner at www.piriform.com

Seems to me that the problem, such as it is, lies with Fred's choosing to publish a private email on a public bulletin board. The more simple remedy of replying privately appears to have eluded him.

Gausie.
That is really funny!

Or ignoring it. I have had a few dodgy emails from a number of posters. It is usually easier to just ignore them. I find that I have to respect someone's opinion before I can get insulted by them.

H: How very true.

Haystack - those DEMG posts were fun. Surprised you didn't join us.

I didn't see them at the time.

Nor me :-)

But after catching up with the last few hundred odd posts greekman does seem like a good guy.

Must be going soft cos I also saw one post from tabby that almost made sense :-)

Dil: try lying down in the dark for a while. You're probably just missing Lembit Opik (who has returned to the Mothership).

Dil - I have no problem with greekman - he's a good poster and a thoughtful investor. He's just got himself involved in Fred's spat with me.

The best parts of the DEMG stuff for me were posts 223 when George was telling The Count about the sort of companies that John Christou invests in, and 250 where greekman refused to either confirm or disconfirm The Count's speculation that 'greekman' might be John Christou's bb handle. That bit really left us all wondering.....

:-)
