how things have changed

decimalistaion was the biggest conn ever .the euro cost us all dearly with having to bail out other countries . thank god we didnt go into having the euro .what a bloody state we would be in now if we had 

It's going to have to be a VERY big rabbit.

No, I'm afraid Cameron is DOOMED.......

I can just see John Lawrie rrrrolling his eyes and pronouncing that doooom with ghoulish relish . . . And about 64 million others. 

Sic transit gloria mundi or as Enoch Powell said "All political lives . . . end in failure."

Or to put it another way,

'Ex nihilo, nihil fit'

or

'nihil producit spicæ'

 

Thanks Tribune Achemedes. Huh! Mm thought he was Greek. No, they are too busy not paying their taxes to be on the forum. 

Inwill stick to English. Pity Enoch hadn't added " . . . and the sooner the better."

Tribunus plebis - Tribune of the people, mm that appeals to me.

'Ex nihilo, nihil fit', et  'Ex nihilo, nihil fit'

'From nothing, nothing comes' & 'Empty heads produce nothing'.

Maybe true of our politicians, eh?

As for Enoch, what a great loss..........

Coprrection:

'nihil producit spicæ' - 'Empty heads produce nothing'.

Oh I don't know. Those empty spaces between the ears are filled to overflowing with hubris. A terrible complaint, poor little midges. 

But have you ever known the midges not to win, that is the question?

True no sign of nemesis for midgies , but not so for most, all? Politicians . 

I doubt if even wood chips are cheep.

to right cheap as chips ,cant really be applied now. you need a mortage

these days to take an average family out to eat ..

 

And that just covers the petrol. 

Mmm How do you get a mortgage anyway? The banks are skint except when executive salaries and bonuses come to be paid. That includes banks bought by the taxpayers, you and me.

we should do like what they do in germany have good quality large family apartments to rent instaed of buying . 

plus they dont included money from house sales in there econemey .like we do . funny how Germany road out the 80s depression and now are riding out this depression as well why dont we follow the way Germany run there economy instead of following the USA  .

Ah! We have that special relationship. Happy us. We do what we are told, are not allowed to answer back.   When things go wrong we get a kicking.   All worth while when our PM gets to have his photo with their President.    . Funny , other countries PMs get their photos with the President without any Special Relationship.  . Am I missing something ? f

like terry wogan say's is it me !
