Up until the last paragraph all fine Yeah whatever Brendan, bored of the libtard personal attacks on here from the likes of you. Who said I was a middleclass conservative? What's your answer? Bail out to Surrey and pretend you're a caring liberal? Asd I've said a zillion times you and many other know nothing about my circumstances so stop making HUGE assumptions and putting words in my mouth that I wouldn'T say based on your prejudices. Okay? In the meantinme, I'm trying to scratch my head and see who has got the answers not just give it a load of liberal rhetoric from a priveliged position whilst it all falls apart, bt at least I sound good, which I could make an assumption is your position, if i was in the game of making assumptions about tpeople that I don't really know. Rude, arrogant hypocrite.

Street pigeons! Do they coo sensibly or is it more of a like-coo?

My nans vernacular was littered with Stone the Crows Crackers (for mad) and propa Cor Blimeys ...they probably drove her mum crackers

Lefty, Bubba, Johnson and some more mr medic, tiger's only 15ish

:)

The major score is also something like 24-4 too

Inded. my mum used to despair Of my "know what I mean" at the end of any sentence in the late70s early 80s, know what I mean.

Oh, just saw you're bearish on this

Mick, Boyles is offering 3/1 on Europe if you open an account with them, that's amazing value...I presume it's capped!

Yup but isn't there a sense that Boris doesn't try to hide it whereas 'Dave' does?

Where I am optomistic is that we have had several years of baby boom, almost uniquely in western Europe (though I think France has too), spurred to somme extent by immigration . Whilst this has caused enormous pressure on housing and education and health, this means taht we will have far more younger people and tax base to service and pay for our growing number of oldies in the future. Places like Gernmany and Italy will be crucified by their ageaing populations combined with negative trending birth rates in the future. I also think we are still significanytly more of an open society than Germany, France and Italy for example.

El Pibe's got the nuance i especially dislike spot on "So he says, like, 'where are you going?' and i say, like 'I'm like going downn the street' but it's obvious because I'm like going down the street. I'm thinking like er is he stupid or something"

The Juke box in the downstairs bar at The Cambridge (Cambridge Circus) was another cracker, sadly long long gone.

You're right and that's the one. I'm so old and befuddled I'm even getting my Soho streets mixed up.

I'd add a proper review of our energy policies (including shale gas/oil - politically toxic based on shouting loudly as far as I can see), ditto transport especially air. Pensions is the massive one - huge numbers of healthy, VOTING, used to reasonable affluenct lifestyles 1960+ born boomer private sector workers are going to be hitting retirement with didly squat to retire on in 10-15 years

...and the Pension bit is why QE (which deflates Bond prices) is causing real problmes for those retiring with private pensions. I think we've years of this austerity to come to right this situation plus a bit of inflation to cheat. Overall incomes are going to stagnate which eventually will make our economies more competitive with the developing ones whose citizens are now by and large getting richer and with greater incomes this good thing is generally ignored by the lefties such as Hutton who don't see that globalisation has dragged million out of poverty but been a shock to us overpiad/overindulged/westerners, less income disparity between the west and elsewhere is painful for us but more 'equal'. Interestingly the Boston Consulting Group published a report last week saying the US is likely to have a manufacturing recovery spurred by a willing workforce, low labour costs by western standards and cheap energy (Shale fracking). Meanwhile the EU stifled by everything - bureacracy/labour laws/he Euro/Demographics/Debt will decline globally. Politically, Careful for what you wish for Labour voters if they get in next time they will be deeply unpopular too within months. You watch what happens to Hollande.

But I think you're missing the point Huge. I agree there are plenty of places that have been improved immensley by being upgraded/gentrified but there were (are?) a few old places whose character was a bit more than just being old and dirty! By Pollo I maent the dirt cheap pasta bar ( specifically downstairs) on Great Windmill Street rather than the bar of that name

Why is everyone talking about girls/woman as the key market? I was at a mate's party a whilst back where there were a fair few gay guys and they ALL swore by it and we're trying to talk me into it (Botox). There's your most profitbale niche market.

U S A....gets on my wick a bit too

oh yes. here we go again. Can't wait.....especially for MMs golf party

I know he's joke of the century for many but his illustrations of our levels of spending and debt were interesting - We spend ?1bn every 3 days just paying the interest on our debt, over a year that's more than our education budget - over the past 50 years our economy has trebled in size, our welfare budget has gone up seven fold. Has the angry but no answers brigade in fact got any answers for dealing with this?* *taxing bankers and money trees not accepted as real world answers

Why does every and I mean EVERY middle class white kid in their 20s on the bus use 'like' every third or fourth word it's like they are all like Vicky pollard like" SHUT UP, LIKE, SPEAK PROPA!
