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.

Greek cabinet approves budget cuts - Package includes dismissing thousands of public sector workers

That won't help much , thousands of public sector worker's getting early retirement and others living off genius state benefit's. That's one of the reasons why they got into the mess in the first place, that and fiddling the book's to get handout's from the EU.

The fiddlings seem similar to those of MPs in the UK government.

Some of whom put down their bows and are now in the cabinet.
==================

Fascinating, to see the rabbits that Osborne and Cameron are pulling out of the bag.


The party of con fidence tricksters.
================

Once again, I see the market is reassured by this Osborne and Cameron's policies and the UK being outsiders of the EU.

I thought UK's economic problems were due to government mismanagement and nothing to so the Worlds economy.

This government has been in power approximately 18mths and its economy has been nosediving.

Notice that for 6 months Dave and Porky were blaming GB for incompetence, but now is blaming EU, America and the rest of the world.


Its not me Mummy its everybody else's fault.

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

What a ???????

Well done Georgie boy.

The market rose on his his latest policies.

Of course the details haven't be worked out yet.

Perhaps they were written the appropriate place on the appropriate paper.


Would suggest he goes back to California for another holiday or to the EU with his bright ideas or cap in hand.

Perhaps, he could ask his PR friend for help!

Nice policies.

If we want to discuss political parties that have policies that aren't worked out then we need look no further than the Trade Union Party (Iforget what is its other name).

Hays,

I think it usual for a party to represent the group which was responsible for its birth.

But the cons from look more and more like the mouthpieces of the city gathering together iin a speak easy.

Mind the city is financing the party and hope for pay backs for personal export.

===========

What I think is incredible for the con party of europhobes, led by a Schizophrenic leadership. who wish to exit from their Euro commitments as soon as possible, think that a toy boy can have any weight in the economic decisions made in the EU.

Also, the phobes don't realise that the 40-50% of UK trade is with Europe which is less of importance to the EU as it is to the UK.

I hope that Georgie boy doesn't have to ask for a bailout in the near future.

Mind with the rate of GDP growth which the UK is sustaining at the moment, that could be at the end of November.

The UK is doing pretty well. Wthout all the cuts we would be another Greece, spain, Portugal, Italy or Ireland. Our credit rating would plummet and we would be paying higher interest on our debts. It is a shame you don't like the present government, but you are stuck with it. By the next election the economy will be better and Labour will get nowhere.

you mean the steps taken by Brown in 2008 saved the UK bacon for the convicts to burn.

Good to see Cruella May making promises, which she can't implement. A lot of smoke without any fire.

Another future U-turn to placate the out of touch tory rabble.

------

Can see the leadership is impressing the market.

Some of the confused con. followers hoped Cameron and cronies could walk on water not under it.

Hays,

With Cruella May's latest claims, the con party con ference is more like the BNP or UKIP get together.

If the leadership can't keep their own die hards in order, doesn't say much for their authority in the rest of the country.

LOL

I see signs of you getting desperate to find things to criticise.

Hays,

I can see that you have no defense left for your motley lot.

American English - surely not!

.

I see the economic figures have been reviewed down.

Double dip on the cards.

Now Plan B.


Cameron and Osborne the obsessive duo carry on with biscuit tin economics.

But Cameron to-day he will call for Churchillian spirit.

The only problem is that he is not fit to lick Churchill's boots.



"The UK economy grew by 0.1% between April and June, less than the 0.2% estimated previously."

Does anyone have a Euro lottery ticket for last night?

I notice that the lottery raffle number for last night Tuesday 4 Oct 2011 is

BPH373751

The lottery raffle number for last Friday 30 Sep 2011 was

BPM772053

Sequential draws of the raffle numbers never begin with the same letter. I also cannot find anyone who purchased a ticket for Tuesday with a letter beginning with B'. They all seem to be started with the letter 'C'. Not only is the number beginning also with a 'B' but it is even a lower combination BPH opposed to BPM.

It looks as though they have used the previous set of numbers (for last Friday) for the raffle and not the new set.

Haystack

What happens now then ?

Is it a scam or a mistake?

I have emailed Camelot and the Lottery commission complaints body. I await a reply.

Does anyone have a raffle ticket beginning with 'B' for last night? I can't find anyone so far.

No, but I wish I did.
=====


If I won, not sure what to do with the cash.

By a Cat Flap for Cruella, or pay my debt card down, or increase my borrowings.

Perhaps. I could become a money lender.

=========

Fascinating, a fancy U-turn U-turn in the middle of a conference.

Not bad going.

Will Cameron, make another before the end of the day.

------------------

Being semi-serious, for a moment, it seems that one problem with this present government is their political naivety and lack of managerial ability.

Few of present tory leadership have been in charge of anything larger than an ice cream cart and are basically too immature for the responsibilities they have at the moment.

The activist membership have little political forethought and have no strategy to deal with the present difficulties and rely on chanting out dated mantras, and tea party rants, to and about others.

--------------

The economic period we are in would benefit from advice from some of the cons party elders (unless they are too senile or fixate ideologues) and not party PR advisers.

------------------------------

I have to admit although Vince Cable has been a disappointment, I would prefer him as Chancellor to Osborne.

------------------------


Skinny, apologies. Didn't know you were so sensitive.

No defence for "defense".

My spelling check "threw it up" and I succumbed.

Weather delays launch of Sittingbourne's floating sun

An "artificial sun" measuring more than 60ft wide has been inflated ahead of its launch into the sky over Kent.

Sounds like they could have used Cameron, he is full of hot air.

-----------

Told that he is going to finish his speech on a high note.


Hope it is his resignation!
