Reading the report, sounds like Gordon should get in bed with Nigel Farage (cold day in hell and all that).

The guy's a bloody hero, he makes the rest of those EU w@nkers look like c*nts.

You have chosen the two weakest euro economies as examples. Q.does the same assertion apply to the stronger economies like Germany/France?

Another story of financial ruination?

My link I know it's half finished but the garden shot tickled me:

Are there two sorts of tax offices? The ones I have been dealing with over the last 30 years have been accurate and efficient. It's not rocket science, for most PAYE people it is just as easy to get ones tax affairs right as get them wrong.

Err, just for the uninitiated. Did you intend for your link to be opened using FireFox with property bee installed?

cheap house BURNLEY’S cheapest house has been sold - for £5,000 less than its asking price. Estate agents have agreed a sale on the property in Pritchard Street for £10,000, six months after it was put on the market for ‘offers in the region of £15,000’.......snip

Very profound, I liked that comment. My take on the final pension scheme would be this. Like most of these schemes, they work on a 1/60th or 1/80th x final salary as a regular pension plus a lump sum of typically 1.5 x final salary. Rather than tinkering with retirement age or using the "career average" BS, I would make the scheme 1/85, or 1/90, or whatever is required to balance the books. All in the interests of absolute clarity so that the employees know what they are getting and when they are getting it (and so they can plan accordingly). ....and I would give the government one chance, and one chance only, to get it right.

My thoughts also, surely there must have been an underlying need for the airport in the first place? If someone can buy the airport cheaply enough, they should be able to make a go of it.

"You choose your dream Persimmon home from one of our outstanding developments. Mum and Dad provide up to 20% of the purchase price of your new home, which will form the deposit. They earn 5% interest per annum on this investment for 2 years." This is just the kind of dumb-ass financial jiggery pokery that got this country into the mess we are in. Not obvious what happens after the two years though. Or what if the child has to buy/sell?

I have been watching this property since early 2010 when it was being marketed for £495k. The wishing well Now being marketed for £250k. Lovely looking twee property but I think it somewhat incongruously located next to a council estate.

Not sure if it's been posted before but came across this: London Underground

In case you hadn't twigged, this is an anonymous Bulletin Board.

There's something familiar about the DM family Ahh, yes

Don't know any bankrupts personally so I stuck Kerry Katona's name in: http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/eiir/IIRMasterPage.asp

Nicolai Gentchev, who will take the helm of BBC One’s flagship political programme in the summer when the production team makes its controversial move from Westminster to Glasgow, has written for International Socialism Journal and Socialist Review. LOL, plus the move to "scab hole" Salford, the BBC lefties are going to achieve their dream of relocating to the gritty, socialist, oop north.

Like what?

I guess we will never know the complete truth but I always had the feeling that Brown was a dangerous megalomaniac (with a mentality akin to Stalin and Hitler). In everything but name, this country effectively operated under a dictatorship for 13 years. I remember, for the first time in my adult life, consciously thanking God that we lived in a democracy and the electorate was (just about) able to get rid of him.

Similar outcome for Tories when GB "bottled" the 2007 election opportunity. Although I now wonder how deliberate this was as Labour must have known that the economy was about to tank. Brown's cunning and duplicity have no bounds: let the Tories win the next election, knowing full well the unpopular decisions they would have to make would condemn them (and the Lid-Dems) to oblivion (thereby paving the way for a subsequent Labour return). In fact the whole of Brown's post election demeanour struck me as a man who had not really been defeated.

I think much of what might have been the message has been stifled by the NuLabour supporting BBC. The BBC has done a good job in culturing the opinion that this whole mess is exclusively the fault of the banks and not due to Gordon Brown's thirteen year's of incompetence in managing the economy. The Tory's weakness, if anything, is in failing to slay the BBC monster.
