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.

Stan


If you agree or disagree with someone's point of view then why not try and answer with a message explaining why you hold your view


People have been there and done that ......... Why don't you give it a try and answer him ? I would be interested to know how you get on.

"People have been there and done that" not quite true is it? Their answers have also included abuse.

Which as I say affords no credit.

Stan

As I said Why don't you give it a try and answer him ? without abuse like I did and greekman and other's.

"As I said Why don't you give it a try and answer him ? without abuse like I did and greekman and other's." To busy, And beside the point.

As said, abuse affords no credit.

The Iraq debacle and the Afghanistan adventure has done more harm to Britain's reputation, than any relief effort and it is obvious from the Terrorist risk level that this is so.

The ref "due to inadequate, inefficient but costly private sector" was a short cut and refers to the cost of outsourcing and the relative disproportionate cost of doing so.

Even the "oik" is slashing the costs of the outsourcing "contracts".

Many of the contracts with the PRIVATE SECTOR are being reviewed down in Pricing.

This should/could have been done before, but more honest pricing from the "private sector" would have made this unnecessary.

I think, if there had been more appropriate and informed management
(better trained) making the contracts, rather than cosying up of public and private sector this "overcharging" would have been prevented.

Some of the outsourcing of services from the private sector to the public service have ended up with appalling standards. (Have a look at the NHS and then various areas of IT contracting and subcontracting)

That was a pathetic answer

Aldo,

Your prime reason for posting seems to be "mainly just to argue" rather then to have an intelligent discussion with , which I have no interest in.

Intelligent discussion and Fred. Should those words be used together in the same sentence?

The Hairy one has spoken.

First it was Fred now we have his brother Stan ....... which one is the fat one ?

My point made, thank you.

Ald,

You don't have to be like the other boys and girls in your school yard.

Imitation is the poorest form of flattery.

Stan

If you comment was directed at me I look forward to your apology. You might want to re-read all the areas where I have challenged fred' posts. I have never been abusive towards fred (in fact you may not believe this but it does happen in the other direction) but can't stand by and let him feely post his thoughts without challenge. Funnily enough, thoughts he can never justify with fact.

but can't stand by and let him feely post his thoughts without challenge.

Stan can he is to busy .

Raw,

Which words in my recent postings didn't you understand

Try re-reading them, and then applying a little thought to the overall content of them.

It is interesting and surprising to me, to watch the press and media and see that it is already being critical and damning of this coalition misgovernment.

In many ways similar to the dying days of previous government.

But, I can see it being justified, as the economic principles being applied by the coalition is equivalent to Biscuit Tin accountancy and likely to prolong any recovery period.

You always tell me to try re-reading your posts fred. I bow to your greater intellectual capacity. Then again, why don't you post in a clear, concise manner to save me the trouble.

Raw,

It seems that I gave you more credit than you maybe due.

I fear you are starting to become abusive, careful, your buddy Stan may want words with you.

Stan - you should direct you argument withouth abuse point at your mate friend as well. He is one of the first to resort to abuse although usually a bit more subtle than some.
