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.

Well said.

JB,

Thought looking at this present administration is amusing.

But happy have a smile, chuckle, or laugh at any submission, even though there is already a joke thread.

May be a relief to the present market.

I suppose Porky and Bess are a little depressing.

Not as much as Les Misables

After 11 year's of drug abuse Tommy Morrison's latest fight in his comeback .

When he went up a class.

No he certainly was not boring and always had the punch to get away with his crazy style until he met Barrera who could take a a proper world class shot ,,,unlike Ali who had many strings to his bow Hamed could only fight one way and against proper legends it was never going to be enough... Salvidor Sanchez ,Wilfredo Gomez, Paq and all the other Featherweight greats would of all made him look stupid ,in fact McGuigan would have rinsed him too , to be fair though until he lost he was worth watching even if you were routing for the other poor humiliated soul to hit him on the chin..

He was never the same after that fight , he should have leant a lesson from that defeat and went back to the gym , maybe Freddie Roach was the only one who could do that ?

I'm not sure he could be moulded in to anything else ,don't forget Emanual Steward trained Hamed in Palm Springs and tried to tighten him up but his arrogance made him beyond learning.

What worth is a degree when you can earn more money cleaning toilets?

My local council is taking a lot of criticism for their rather weird pay schedules.

It seems they pay a Trainee Accountant (who has to have a degree) less than a toilet cleaner.

So they should ,good for the downtrodden !! must be a soul destroying job.

Maybe, it is the market value for accountants!

.

It is nice to see a coalition tory leader, Cameron signing up and joining to the future European Military Forces and being engaged in Europe.

Next to becoming a fully paid up member of EEC.

Next he will be putting forward Nick as a candidate for minister of an European State with a common foreign and economic policy.

Seems that his next move will be be agreeing to a European State.


Mind he does seem his party to the top of the hill and down again.

Or is it one two feet in and one foot out.

As a PR man, it will be interesting how he sells this deal to Cash and his fellow travellers.

Interesting to watch our man in no. 10.

Fred

If you had been listening to the new's you would know that it is an arrangement between the French and the British to save money on defence , both country's have vetoes on decisions .

C'mon, aldwickk, you know that Fred has his own particular lopsided view of the world. He just doesn't see it the same way as the rest of us.

The main problem is going to be is when either country wants the assistance of the other, say another Falklands. If we wanted the French to help and they used their veto to refuse because they decided it was 'not their fight', then what do you think would happen the next time they wanted out assistance.
I agree with joint training, testing and the like, but if anyone believes the French would come rushing to our assistance, they are living in cloud cuckoo land, unless of course it was to their benefit. If our Aircraft carrier was in for maintenance and our aircraft were on the French carrier, what would happen if the French decided the carrier would not 'Go to war'. The French people would be protesting in the streets at the first sign of the UK asking for help.
This will never work. It took the French long enough to send troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, but I admit they were quicker to react than most so called NATO Allies.
The French put themselves, first, second and last, something we should be doing more of.

What is appearing to me more and more, is that Cameron and his apparatchiks, are concentrating more and more on presentation of policy based on ideology, rather than thinking out their future policies and the disastrous effects that some of those policies may have if they are implemented.

Cameron and the crowd around him seem to be showing the same shallow thought processing of the PR boys that they are.

I find it amusing for one days presentation is being modified, or withdrawn the next day with a few glib words. (Or the blame, put on the coalition, the labour partys history, Europe, or even Obama and America .)

I just wonder, whether the present mob will accept responsibility for any of their actions.

However, in order to have a common, or united and effective defence force, one has to have common goals, i.e. a common, or united, foreign policy.

Probably, this points to increasing closeness of functioning and general aims of France and Britain within a United States of Europe.

I think, Cameron at the same time as being a poser, is signing up for such a future state. Gifting the autonomy of Britain to Europe.
Interesting to watch.
