THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

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.

jimmy b - 01 Nov 2010 13:51 - 9811 of 81564

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

Fred1new - 01 Nov 2010 13:56 - 9812 of 81564

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.

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 .

MightyMicro - 03 Nov 2010 01:43 - 9816 of 81564

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.

greekman - 03 Nov 2010 07:40 - 9817 of 81564

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.

Seymour Clearly - 03 Nov 2010 11:13 - 9819 of 81564

Most of what you said there applies to the Labour party.

aldwickk - 03 Nov 2010 11:36 - 9820 of 81564

Seymour

Yes your right sound's just like Labour. Spin Doctor's , sound bites , Blame it on 18year's of Tory rule , will not accept responsibility for any of their actions., Blair the poser , actor and liar and Brown the worst Prime Minster or maybe the second behind Blair that this country ever had.

Fred1new - 03 Nov 2010 12:09 - 9821 of 81564

I accept your opinion of Blair.

I think Cameron, Clegg and Blair would make a bad trio called the "Spivs", with the "oik" carrying their bags. Of course Aschroft would be their manager.

Bring back Maggie.

(Forgot she had a knife stuck in her back, by loyal supporters. Very wise.)

It seems the likely end of Cameron.

Will he last as long as Sir Alec did? Looks as if the coalition is already falling apart.

Ps.

Which island is Aschroft on now.

As you might have been reading, Stephen Fry has been upsetting the apple cart, by writing on his feelings concerning the sexual requirements of women. Basically, he says, that they just don't like sex.

Jaqueline Gold, the Boss of Ann Summers, adamantly disagrees and talks about how her women customers do like sex and have now become much more empowered in the bedroom than they ever used to be and how they know much more nowadays about what they actually want and like in their sex lives.

She says:

"I'll leave you with one interesting fact - every day nearly 10,000 women attend parties hosted by our organisers.

That means more women go to Ann Summers parties each year than fans watch Man U play at Old Trafford each season."

Fred1new - 03 Nov 2010 12:22 - 9823 of 81564

The cabinet must be working overtime. 8-)

greekman - 03 Nov 2010 13:23 - 9824 of 81564

That means more women go to Ann Summers parties each year than fans watch Man U play at Old Trafford each season."

And I bet they score more often than United do.
Mind you a few United players are scoring off the pitch more than on it lately.

As to women not liking sex, it depends on the woman of course. A survey many years ago, found that the percentage of single women that enjoy sex, is far higher than the percentage of married woman who enjoy sex. Devious lot women!

Another survey found that more women prefer chocolate to sex, whilst more men prefer football to sex. So one night I dressed up in my Liverpool shirt, and treated my wife to a big box of Thorntons.

What happened next, I will leave to your imagination.

ExecLine - 03 Nov 2010 13:29 - 9825 of 81564

Ever used a Meat Thermometer in the bedroom to test the temperature of what is on offer, Greek?

Apparently, they are not too reliable. You might easily get a reading that says "Rare" when it should actually read "Well Done".

greekman - 03 Nov 2010 14:44 - 9826 of 81564

Thanks for that ExecLine.
Will await other suggestions before trying a remedy. Might just try swapping (no not the wife, although) with me eating the chocolate and the wife wearing the Liverpool shirt.

Chris Carson - 03 Nov 2010 14:53 - 9827 of 81564

Greek - Trust me, you have more chance of scoring wearing an Everton shirt :O)
