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.

No problem. I love my wife so much she doesn't need to beg.

Skinny,
Not sure as something creaked.
Talking about football and sex,
How come the last match I watched, Chelsea v Liverpool it took 90 minutes for 22 young virile men to score 4 times between them, (an average of 22.5 minutes) when it only took me, a virile older man 5 minutes to score once.
And I did not dribble before either, nor did I somersault round the bedroom after.
Please feel free to use your imagination.

My wife says I have no imagination.
So a stroke of luck there then! :o)

ExecLine,
I liked your link.
WHAT do I think of.......Has the second half started yet.
Who do I think of.......Since seeing Christine Pillow, I think of her, although Ingrid Bergman is to me the most beautiful woman ever (giving my age away now).
A bit of a technophobe, so if anyone can paste a picture of her (Christine Pillow), I am sure others will appreciate why.
Alan,
Peter Beardsley? Now I am seriously worried about you!
A picture of him next to Christine would allow others to compare.

Poor Charlie Mullins!
Will yesterday's 'Budget' force our country's high earner's to go abroad? Hmmm?
Anyhow, here's how it affected Charlie:
Michael Wistow, head of tax at law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner, said: "History shows that increasing tax rates rarely achieves the objective of increasing the tax take, individuals will now look to find other ways of earning money or reducing tax liabilities.
"The attractions of making capital profits will be even more important going forward for individuals, and well-advised businesses and investors will be seeking legitimate ways to keep their tax burden to internationally competitive levels."
Tony Bernstein, senior tax partner at HW Fisher chartered accountants, said: "It will simply encourage many of the wealthier self-employed to incorporate, namely move to a limited company structure, in order to save on tax and warehouse their profits.
"When corporation tax rates were last cut there was a huge increase in incorporations as a result and we're likely to see something very similar now, as the gap between corporate and personal tax rates widens.
"For the employed, it is likely to result in an increase in equity-based remuneration, salary sacrifice and share options, where benefits are deferred."
And here's how darling Alistair is apparently going to balance(?) the books:

Bleedin budget. May as well go to Dubai or be self-employed. Why should I pay 51.5% tax to bail-out the banks run by idiots. Anyway, saw a bunch of great articles on some uk stocks on http://www.tradinghelpdesk.com if you have 5 minutes to kill otherwise..... no thank you Darling, I'm off to Dubai.

The Labour Party has a habit of 'Killing the Golden Goose'.
One of best thing they could have done was to scrap the final pension scheme for all public employees, to put them on the same level as most of the private sector.
But of course this would have included, all civil servants as well as MP's. So no chance of that then!
Alistair Darling (The puppet Chancellor) stated that he would make big cuts in public employed personnel, but this would have no impact of the services they provide.
Well if you can cut staffing levels in the public sector, and have no detriment to services, then that proves that these people were non productive in the first place.
Swaggering cuts should have been made to the 'Jobs worthy Section'.
This alone would have saved billions.
As to the rest of the budget, I appreciate it had to be hard hitting, but if this excuse for a government had not been on a spend, spend spree for the last 12 years we would be in a far better position to fight this global recession that we are in now.

I like Foie gras. Never had it from the Golden Goose before. Should be good listening to the pips squeak.
Somebody, told me that they like the schools their kids go to and the hospital where their father had his hip replacement.
Also the time it took by train seemed to shorter.
