  1. OK, thanks I hadn't seen that
  2. ho ho ho, yeah very funny. A duck was found dead early on after the first attack. Perhaps as a precaution they were taken and destroyed. As I have a business close to Salisbury it is a serious event, and with the Wiltshire Chief Inspector now warning that they could not rule out more people getting infected. Salisbury is/was a beautiful City and to see a park where Constable painted his famous view of the Cathedral shut down for a long period, is pretty sad. Another nonsense in this saga is that 4 buses that these last 2 victims MAY have travelled on were impounded. They used bus drivers to go and collect them to bring them back, without any protection or special clothing.
  3. You need to chill out a bit. There are 2 ways at looking at things. I am a remainer but accept that it is not all going to be bad. As for you comment f### business just shows you need to wise up. No business no jobs, no exports, no NHS no future. The nation makes its income from business not just the government borrowing money.
  4. The word in Salisbury that I have heard in the last few hours is that she used to go around collecting fag butts and may have just lit up one of those. Also the police are dredging the river by the bench. I assume just in case there is anything lurking in the undergrowth. It was strange that all the ducks and swans disappeared, there are not as many there now
  5. Is it just me who feels royalties are a bit wrong. These people are getting paid time and again for the same days work, a lot of people get one hit record and can live off that for ever. The same goes for artists and then their descendants who can get paid 4% of the resale of any picture that is sold in the future. Its like a plumber getting paid each time you flush the toilet
  6. did you read the article in the Telegraph the other day where it showed whether we stay in the EU or not, the car industry is going to shed half the workforce and its supply chain due to electric cars? A lot less parts and far less to people needed to manufacture. We are going through the 2nd major industrial revolution and it isn't pretty. Roll on 10 years and the high street will be like the ice makinh companies of the 30's before the fridge became a household appliance. Unless we get a major change in consumer buying it is finished (High St) Take heed all you internet shoppers who are trying to save tenners here and there, once the High Street is gone the prices on the internet will soar and you will be worse off. Yes if you spend real time searching you would still get a better price but in the main after the first 3 pages, most will give up and buy from there.
  7. you are the former Stu Romsey Saint I assume??
  8. i thought not as he was quite a unassuming nice bloke
  9. Do you see who voted and for who? No, great, I voted for you btw Good luck and hopefully it goes well. You will of course forget your people now you have power
  10. Were you the Bournemouth Saint who played in the Forum match at St.Marys????
  11. that's fine,but talk about it behind closed doors,or in cabinet, not go out to the media outlets spreading his mantra to gain exposure to try and gain support if there is a vote for leadership.
  12. The politicians do not realise or care what they are doing to business confidence. I predict we will see a swathe more retail shops go in the next 2-3 months . Small as well as large. The general public just don't know whether to spend or not, and are sitting on their hands not making spending decisions. I was out browsing the shops yesterday and whilst there were lots of people looking around, the tills were not ringing. While I was in a small quality shoe shop I heard the salesman tell his friend that they had only taken £100 and that without notice a couple of their other shops had closed without warning this week gone. Rees Mogg etc and their own political ambition and agenda see no boundaries to get what they want. We the tax payers and voters are anxious waiting for the UK to show a United front. While we have all these splinter groups who are pecking away we will see no progress. I am a democrat and have to adhere to the vote but it was a nonsense that 2% or whatever it was as a margin was enough to win such a crucial decision. I believe that there should be another vote and that to remain there would need to be a 10-20% margin for the result to be reversed. Without a doubt the nation was in the main oblivious to the implications of voting out. I know there are quite a few who still believe 100% that we will be ok, but I cant see how that can happen. We will never get fair trade deals with countries after we leave as they will see our weakness, eg India who say they will do a deal but we have to look at loosening our rules for their people to come to live in the UK.
  13. I assume in the end there will be no countries left to get cheap labour from. The way it is going we might have English going to Europe in the droves doing fruit picking
  14. I'm pleased if fellow Saints fans are not burned on these things. Good luck.
  15. seemed to be too intelligent for that lol.
  16. now, now, Verbal don't be cruel. There will be winners as well as losers in this. Iam not surprised it has gone down, Iam amazed it has gone down so slowly though. It seems the idea is going to be used in our future, but the banks wont be pushing it, that's for sure.
  17. it seems to me tht the poster who had adouble identity should be named and shamed. Afterall I pay to be on here and so expect a level playing field
  18. I notice that Bitcoin is now under £5000. Is anyone on here still investing(?)in this new age concept?
  19. Ok who did this fake turn out to be????
  20. 1957!! that's before my time thanks very much, lol 1968 onwards when I first started going to watch Saints as a young lad.
  21. I wasn't his biggest fan, but it seemed to me he cared a lot especially on the run in of last season. Before the last game of the season I watched the players get off the team coach and he was the only one who made any effort with the fans Thanks Dusan and good luck in the future.
  22. Is 16k a good wage these days? I don't know how people can live a decent life on that income, after taking out living costs rent/mortgage etc. it must be very hard to cope. Obviously if it is a kid straight from school that's a different argument but around £300PW is not a lot. Therefore is Trump offered them 20K a year to become another US state I suggest they would take that in less than a heartbeat. Personally I believe that we are heading for the rocks, and very quickly. IMO people are not spending, and to a degree not even browsing. My friends in many trades are telling me so,(not building trades)
  23. votes from his constituents. Those comments will have cemented some votes for him
  24. who knows what US trade policy is at the present time??? The idea of a free trading area of the strongest economies would be an interesting place to be involved with. Of course the EU have a large proportion of such economies
  25. Over the moon to have Armstrong signed.....get what I did there?
