Well he came on and announced the good news. Therefore we see him as someone who can allay any rumour.It cant be both ways. We have secrecy and that in itself breeds rumour and fear/worry. That leads to people making stuff up that needs to be quoshed as quickly as possible.The Farmer has that power, his reply so far does not assure me 100%

I would nt go for consultation Id get it sorted before publishing it.Why not put every decision to consultation if that is the way of government nowadays, lets have a referendum on it, of course that doesnt happen if there is the slightest chance they might get the decision go against them.Or just have a public enquiry behind closed doors much better, so they can have a good old cover up

'well that beggars belief if it goes ahead.' my wording in my initial post about the money going to media companies. If it goes ahead. Yes more quangos for civil servants to waste more money, we are a nation of consultors. Of course you will be all for that

That may be the case WSS, but if he has and hasn't quelled the rumour? That is what causes concern.

The Farmer is sound, I think you can withdraw from criticism of him NC. i just believe if he was online and it is not something for people to worry about he'd come on and say so. Afterall he has done so in the past. WSS thinks he doesnt need to, that is fine but a post just to say it is not true would have been sufficient

who the Liberals or you??? And the difference between bombing civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan is?

So you are saying it is correct to pay commercial broadcasters money to make news bulletins! I dont get handouts to help run my business in these hard times and so why should media companies. They sink or swim

yes the liberals were, but they wouldnt fight a war anyway. That is your perogative. The information that was wrongly put forward made it clear that there was a threat.The tories or whoever who backed it on the information given by the PM were correct IMO. In hindsight no it was wrong.

Lol

Well i would have thought he could easily tell us 'that is a nonsense rumour'. i fully expect him to come back and say that if not??

Let's hope so. I hope that anyone else interested have kept their people on the job, but giving exclusivity does make the others think that they need not waste any more money.

Dubai Phils i will accept you falling asleep, in fact the next one comes with a free razor blade to use when you try and get through it. Mine was reviewed on the Readers Digest , 'read of the month section'. I quote ' a brilliant bit of written mastery' The Times 'Only 1 tit' The Sun, 'interesting read while having a dump' The Guardian 'Uninteresting read while having a dump' The Independant 'Best piece of literature since Lord of the Rings' Totton Times.

When i typed that it seemed wrong, but that is often the way Lol. Alesha Dixon, i must go and have a cold shower.

i have terrible images in my mind of when PNE have a 3rd round cup tie and you see Tom Finney in his dotage in the stands, but in the future it is MLT hoping that the good days are on their way back 30-40 years later.

Isnt there a disaster or road crash that you could go and watch instead of depressing us some more GK?

[quote=bridge too far;331644 Normally people of your persuasion knock the BBC for the quasi-monopoly it is supposed to have on news (and for its perceived left wing stance). If you have sky there are so many different news channels to get differing perspectives on things.

Nice side step of the 'stealth tax'. Consult, another quango set up to cost us tax payers money. Tell me why we need more local news? I may as well set up a local news channel and get my wedge. If you watch south today or meridian the news is normally on the same lines. Normally you have features about Mr Serial Claimant complaining that they have not been treated well enough by some poor nurse, or fallen off their bike due to potholes nothing to do with being drunk, why have they not got a 42in tv as the the 36in one we paid for is not big enough, Im sure you get my drift.. To be fair now and again there are truly some good causes thumpeted on the programmes but they are too similar.We dont need a second local news programme , there are so many avenues to watch it now.

i think that is fair, with the information given to us not in the know, it seemed very correct to do what we did.Sadly the sandal brigade would dither and not make any decision in case a butterfly got wounded

I think that the government hope that the nation dont understand the term levy which should have read stealth tax regarding the internet they announced yesterday. as for giving some of the TV licence money to other private companies , well that beggars belief if it goes ahead.

We have the MCC who are full of duffers and probably sniff at 20-20. They'd rather have 3-4 day games with empty grounds where the 'proper shots' were played.None of the excitement stuff

Playing for them, and with the same success Lol. If you had not been so mean and purchased a programme on the Forum match you would have read about my cricket feats of captaincy, I dont know, I spent all of 5 minutes drawing my interview up and then what!!

It is a property man and Ray Parlour. Sadly Ray Parlour is buying the club with any proceds his wife left him after their divorce and the property man is going to be the manager, he is a liverpool fan and his first job is going to enlarge the directors box so it is more comfortable to sit in while he conducts the games eating prawn sandwches and giving us our club back

yeah like a tattooist is going to put on more than asked. Stupid cow for wanting a tattoo on the face anyway.

feb , if we dont come out with a CVA! Sorry I just had to

Is Jade Goody still around then?
