I was at a wedding where the best man made an explicit sexual reference about the grooms 90 year old grandmother. They've barely spoken since. Another gem, was when the best man (brother of groom) expressed surprise at the happy couple's honeymoon destination of Northern Ireland, as he'd been...

Sorry to hear about the tools Bob, there are some right schmucks out there. The situation is particularly bad in Palmero & Sicily. The mayor there is worried that the "Corona Poverty" will cause much more damage than the virus, and is something that the Mafia will be able to harness to their...

In a word Woody, No. I have felt like this for the last couple of weeks, but to say so and put your head above the parapet risks being called a twunt. This will make the GFC seems like a walk in the park. The economic, political and social impacts will be profound; these will not be fully...

Not sure if this has been responded to yet - My understanding is that if you were a member of BARP, your pension will have transferred across to an Aviva plan a year or two ago. Might be worth giving Aviva a buzz, though looking at anything to do with pensions at the moment should probably be...

I am of the opinion that it is a bit of a mass hysteria, but people do like a bit of a panic! The schools went into overdrive yesterday, we received 3 separate communications. This one probably being the most succinct. The highlights are not mine.

not that i am aware of.

Ex- Chelsea reject. Says it all. As Turkish says.

The answer that i have had to that from europhiles when questioning that, is that we do have accountability through the national governments that we elect, and they act on our behalf.

The problem with investing is you need to do your home-work. And yes, if you don't you are gambling, and there are some pretty rough practices, shorting, ramping, deramping etc - Thomas Cook's halving of share price a week or so ago after a Citi Bank Analyst claimed they were 'worthless'...

I also read that Nissan are looking at allocating Mitsubishi production to Sunderland.

If there is a GE it will be a proxy for a referendum. Brexit will be the single most important issue.

That cut and paste thing that kiwi was talking about - source wikipedia Early life and education[edit] Born in Hammersmith, London, he is the second son of former Labour Cabinet Minister Tony Benn and American-born educationalist Caroline Benn (née DeCamp). Benn is a fourth-generation MP – his...

It's there in clear light of day in the Lisbon Treaty what the EU's end game is - "Ever Closer Union".

I agree that none of them want a GE - but part of point is what would the parties stand for in what is essentially a referendum on Brexit in the first place. Would the Conservative Party campaign for May's Deal or No Deal? Who knows what the Labour party would do! How much of an effect will...
