General Discussion Area / Re: I've got this mole

« on: 16 August 2011, 23:28:24 »

If you do this with Calor gas and the lowest point where the mole has dug is beneath you house (as Calor gas sinks) then expect your house to look like this:

It will solve the mole problem as you won't have a house and you won't be living there.

I had a mole in my garden in France, I tried everything, including traps, poison, electronic scaring devices. 

The end result: Mole 1, Rod 0 

I gave up in the end, so good luck, I hope you are more successful than I was.

....And if nobody complains to their MEP, there will be a clean sweep when it comes to voting on it.

If enough people complain to their MEP, I bet they will brush it under the carpet.

I have allway said we have should have attendance centres for people claiming unemplyment benefit. For example a large old office or factory where they have to attend 5 days a week from 8 till 5 to receive their benefit. This would get rid of those false claims and for the others it might be more worthwhile to do a proper job.


Totally agree with you, except I would make them spend all day every day applying for jobs, until they have got one.

Send them a final email telling them if they don't reply within 14 days, then you are going to complain to the Local Council Ombudsman.

This should stir them into action.

« on: 15 August 2011, 02:10:43 »

I have a great respect for the police on the front line.

IMHO the senior officers in the last 10 years have changed from policemen into policically correct, brown nosed, a*@e licking, incompetent political apparatchiks, with Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom, with his anti-motorist views a typical example.

General Discussion Area / Re: Hope for Bombardier?

« on: 03 August 2011, 00:19:44 »

What I read was that the issue was not technical, but financial. The company who won the contract have to supply all of the investment finance to build them. Siemans are a much bigger company with a better credit rating so they can borrow the money much more cheaply which gives them about a £200m borrowing cost and price advantage. 

If the last Labour Government had set the terms of the contract so the finances were separate from the technical abilities then Bombardier would have been able to compete on a level playing field. 

Politicians are experts on the laws on unintended consequences, to make sure they include them every time.    They don't care as they have their gold plated expense accounts, diamond encrusted pensions and on the unlikely chance of them being in the duck (sorry dog) house and being kicked out don't forget the big fat severance kickback.    It is the tax paying likes of us that picks up the bills for their constant mistakes. Just look at this situation and their record on defence procurement and IT projects

160 miles with a big grin on face is IMHO worth every penny of £1.13 a mile 

1600 miles with big grin on face even better.

All will be resolved when the Euro fails, and most European countries revert to their former currencies. 

This is when the proverbial brown stuff hits the fan and all European citizens will get a good covering.

However, the fools in Brussels and the European elite will have inflicted much pain and suffering to 100's million of European citizens  while they keep their generous salaries, extravagant expense accounts and gold plated pensions. Millions of Europeans will be destitute and bankrupted before all of this is all resolved and Europe enjoys financial security, GDP growth and falling unemployment.

If Greece had defaulted 12 months ago and reverted to the Drachma, it would have been 12 months away from market forgiveness, financial stability, low bond rates and economic growth. This is what Iceland did 2 years ago, and about 5 weeks ago fully sold their first 3 year bond issue at just over 3% against Greece's current 40% interest rate.  Greece's economy is currently getting much worse, with virtually no prospect of avoiding a further default. Portugal and Ireland will also at some point default (The UK will not get back the £7bn we have lent to Ireland).

Italy is almost certainly going to have to default as it's Government debt of 120% and virtually no growth over the last 10 years make it unsustainable. Spain may just avoid defaulting where it's government debt is lower, but where their provinces have greater autonomy than in most over countries, it will depend upon them controlling their deficits and debts (which is not looking good).

All in all, when this happens it will make Lehman Brothers, AIG, Fanny May, Fanny Mac, the previous global bank bailouts etc look like a kiddies tea party.

It will never get past health and safety executive, a rioter might get injured, and even if it did it would take years to get through all of the levels of court action where it breaches the rioters human rights.

Very easy make your own, my wife in a brilliant bread maker and you then just add the mixed herbs, basil, garlic and tomato base with your favorite toppings and cheese. Delicious and very low in salt if you need to control your blood pressure like me. 

Maybe we should start our own oof best recipes in the world "The Boy and Cooking" section  as me and my best half who should be obeyed in cooking   will be happy to post our best recipes including my wifes killer quick chicken and pineapple (or mango) curry recipe which she has perfected over the last 6 months.

What do you think?

Human Rights lawyers and campaigners who target the Police ......I despise them

How about resting the police from the front line and replacing them with human rights lawyers, they might find it a bit different from the leafy Oxford villages they live in,  where a major crime is a lad dropping a sweet wrapper.

As the do-gooders will want to send them on holiday, I say let them, my three preferred destinations are:

1. Deir Ezzor in Syria, they can riot all they like and see how the Syrian army respects their human rights first hand,   

2. A third class cruise in the Indian ocean off the Somalian coast, no ransoms to be paid 

3. Sunny Ciudad Juarez in Mexico where they can riot against the drug cartels.
