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.

Oh dear! David Cameron is in big, big trouble again! This time it's for urinating in the street!
David Cameron - foul language and urinating in the street
-----------------
Didn't know Cameron was that old. What was/is he on?
======
Stabbing in the back. Both brothers knew they were going to stand. I would think there was some rivalry and a little surprise, but at least they were open about the matter. (Couldn't be otherwise.)
If he had been a tory, he would have had a drink with his brother first, then stabbed him in his back and probably taken his brother's wallet, before walking away.
-------------------------------
I changed a reasonable sum of sterling at 1.24E, a while ago, for holidays, I am glad I did.
It will be interesting to see what the market thinks about the pound next week and at what price the UK can shift its next load of bonds.
-----
Sadly it is interesting times.
--------
It looks as if 25-27 countries are going to sign up to the new deal. The can't all be daft.
==========
The actions of Cameron and the Septics belong to a bygone era. I can guess who the USA will deal with and again interesting to see with the devaluation of sterling whether China will be buying up British Companies and Real estate over the next 18months.
If Cameron avoids an election for another 18mths his actions will come back to haunt him.
--------
Before, the last election, I was criticised for saying it would be a good election to lose. I don't think Labour are in any hurry to take over and prefer to watch the tories self destruct.

25,
Yep.
--------------
I suppose the main difference between the "Little Englanders" and majority of people in other Europeans countries, is that the latter believe in the "unification" of "Europe" and more of their populations believe in cooperation and harmony.
They are less insular and better informed than those in the UK.
Unfortunately, the majority of the press in this country is biased against the market, due to the city being it paymaster and is therefore the public as a whole are badly informed about the benefits.

Clearly you haven't spent much time in Europe. Try getting them all to retire at the same age at the Brits and Germans and you will see just how much harmony there is. Or take away some of the subsidies to the French and Italian farmers. I am sure they will cooperate.
There may be a lot more of them out there but too many are sat on their butts with their hands out. The Euro was a farce from the start. Another stupid socialist experiment which is now out of control despite all the bluster.

IT and Ald,
I thought the UK was in Europe.
I am beginning to understand some of the problems you and fellow septics are having.
Hope they increase.
Perhaps cut back on something and buy a map.
------
Actually, recently I did wander around parts of Europe, other than the UK, for about fifty months of a six year period.
Very enjoyable and interesting and informative.
Found fellow Europeans very accommodating and friendly, but forecasting the "demise" of UK "membership" of EU.
Even then thought many Little Englanders considered themselves outside Europe and superior to other Europeans.
They admitted the Eurozone had minor problems, but believing in its values and acknowledging the success in improving the quality of life for the majority of real participants and especially the freedom of movement with the EC.
But they were able to look farther than the end of their noses and prepared to give and take rather than attempt smash and grab for short term gains.
Have a better weak end.

The UK is an island ...... Europe is on the other-side of the English channel.
We are not European , we are British.

Thank god that Cameron is in government and not the labour party, we would be bankrupt now, and the country rated as junk and not AAA.

DC,
The tories, UKIP and BNP must be the only parties who celebrate defeat.
They are like Dad's Army in a modern world, holding on to their Yesteday's world.
Defending the beaches while the planes are landing at Gatwick.
Out of touch, waiting for instructions from the Cayman Islands and the city.
Hope Cameron and Osborne know their Morse code.
