and how does you going on strike not put us at risk? Or is it just the backroom stuff that you'll not do...I'm confused

RIP Malcolm Allison....a true graduate of the Academy

Still using the Vax with that smily face then *Bob*?

The Guardian and the brownies fair cop but they're far too wanabbee cool dressers for us, SE22s look is largely 'slightly trendier than rugger buggers from Clapham'

Next time your travelling in a plane over the Andes or hiking in mountains take along a few dead people's arms in case of emergencies

Pearson's a bit slow Ratty....

...and do gold investment companies put you and your family up once you've sold your gaff and turned it into gold> Back in the real world..... Mick I think your a bit delusional about the solidity of the uk housing market, at the top we are going to run out of rich bankers, footballers etc etc with the resolve or even need to buy up any more property, and at the bottom young middleclass Londoners (forget anyone else even having a vague chance) will be faced with graduate fees, increased direct and indirect taxation and the growing realisation that they'll have bugger all to retire on meaning that they won't be able or as keen to put down deposits ..the FTBuyers market is drying up - ask people trying to sell flats in ED -, the huge increases in property that have helped mere mortals who don't work in the city but were lucky enough to take the first step on the ladder when it was vaguely in touch with reality, and have benneffoited from a massive asset increase which has at helped them move up to next stage has now gone leaving the majority of even well paid people who don't own way, way behind....we'll end (and are ending up) with a growing number of empty nesters trying to offload their houses to a load of young families squashed up in smaller non-family flats that they can't get rid off.....in the end prices will fall. You just can't keep finding people with the ?100,000k 10% deposits and ?250,000k joint annual income to buy ?1.2 million houses in what is, after all, a pleasant but not that spectatcular suburb in SE London. We are the only country whose property bubble hasn't burst...although its unwound a bit but I still believe it's very possible and certainly the period of massive accumulation of wealth by holding property has gone (until another crash takes us below long term 'sensible' prices - personally, I think the best you can hope for is static and probably small falls in nominal prices, which is a decline in real terms. This is aside from the wider position and fact that it's being propped up by QE etc long enough for our banks to rebuild their asset positions and recaptilise before a slump completlet buggers up their balance sheets.....in some ways this is not a bad thing in stopping catastrophe 2 years ago but you can't beat market forces for ever....

Don't worry Ruffers, look at KPC's selection, you're a guttersnipe.

I thought they were good tonight

A fair suggestion. But might I also suggest that not putting either Balls OR Cooper in as shadow Chancellor is a man whose a bit insecure in his position and putting that/himself above his party?

I liked Luther Vandross, The Irish one and the camp blokes.....

Narnia!!!..I thought you'd been on good form tonight so far

5100

Gnocci pasta that the kids didn't finish for my dinner, I'm in charge today and other than Stella I ALWAYS forget about muy food

It's like a trip through my facebook photos

I'm baby sitting....all day Missus back in Pompey on the razz Soon?...Please

:))

The missus gets the Guardian so it's a compromise if I get to the paper shop first. Also helps remind me of the rubbish most of my EDF friends soak up before coming on here and slagging off the Mail ;-)

Phoney recession= QE propping up asset prices for now...if it fails then 20-30% fall in gilts/shares/company bonds/ property prices and sunsequent mass business, banking, private and sovreighn bankruptcy and great depression...it's possible.

Next Labour PM Yvette Cooper

the next crash is 2023, that'll kill us off
