On a brighter note I see the Dow is up 2.26% today. Also good to see Warren Buffet investing heavily in Bank of America....

Equities or corporate bonds?

Well before you nod off, think yourself lucky we have a Conservative coalition making brilliant cuts to the public sector. If Labour had got in again they would have held back just like in America which would put up the rate we pay on govt issued gilts and then the unions (who fund Labour) would've seen to it that cuts were watered down and country would have gone down the pan and we'd have all been taxed to the max.

The Tories always inherit a mess to sort out, and then the stupid public re-elect Labour to mess the country up again. In 1997 Labour inherited a dream economy and here we are 14 years later having to repair the damage done by Labour again.

What rickety old bridge fails to mention is why it's taking 3 days longer, but thanks to the article she linked the answer is given: Dr Madsen Pirie, President of the Adam Smith Institute identified the linkage between the lateness of Tax Freedom Day and the government’s attempt to tackle the deficit and UK debt: “The last government left an appalling legacy. Its reckless spending has driven Britain into record levels of debt that threaten the lives and happiness of future generations. Bringing down that debt has to be an absolutely urgent priority. However it isn’t enough to merely cut spending. We need targeted tax cuts to encourage economic growth.”

It's shocking, and is why i'm completely against Socialism.

Of course it wasn't a threat. Saddam would never have tolerated Al Queda as they would have been a potential threat to him. Thankfully we now have a Conservative government who know what they are doing.

Pocketed 95 quid from a 40 pound bet on City. Easy money and couldn't believe they were offering 11/8 on an away banker.

The abolition of the booking fee.

I never thought i'd see it, but you are even more interesting than Super Mikey. And to think some people question the charisma of todays youth.

Do keep up Andy. UKIP are the party of choice for those of us on the right. They are growing at about the same pace as the Lib Dems are declining.

Yet they spent a fortune on extra security so the Notting Hill carnival could go ahead.

Get over yourself. Alpine makes some valid points.

ha ha, you call me dunce so i've found a new name for you, and judging by your reaction it hit the mark.

I'm sure rickety old bridge will be the first to highlight any fringe elements, but with such a widely supported movement there are bound to be some that detract from the peaceful majority.

Just an observation but i've found that people called Adrian are usually ginger.

I remember the pompey scum always saying they were the biggest club, and that if they were in the premiership like we were for years they'd get bigger gates. Now here we are in the same division and they are clearly the smaller club. In fact i'd say they were smaller than Brighton as well.

This should help.

This.

95 phone calls from scummers saying they're gonna kill me, burn my shop down, slit my throat.

Are you me?

A lot of people are no longer going up and down the country because of the cost. These distasteful add-ons only serve to make peoples decisions easier.

Is it? If it is then it should be optional.

Don't get it on freeview anymore so don't care.
