For me, the NHS is the golden egg. We have it, and we should do everything to keep it. Of course it has it's wastrels, scoundrels and genuine lazy bastards, but we get that in all walks of life. Keep it, or forever rue the day we lost it.

The 'Data Room' ????? WTF. Probably like summat out of Minority Report I imagine.

Did the police ever bring back the computers they confiscated when they raided the club? The last I heard was they had discovered Freddy Shepherd's hidden cashe and it was taking the polis an eternity to go through all the pics. Around 5gig's worth of downloaded images of peach melba's, cream tarts, strawberry tarts, battenburg cake, etc etc etc.

Those 'gyptians must just be like us then, preferring to lose 4-3.

Or the geezer who runs N.Korea. He's always nicely turned out. Mother would have liked him, always smart and presentable

Correct. PFI. Vince Cable (the man who seems to speak the most sense out of everyone ifam) came out with an eye opener recently. He said that the next thing that was in great need of overhaul is public sector pensions. So, all you Government employees who get some sort of pension, be warned, it IS gonna happen.

Yes, Brown has to shoulder a lot of blame, but the thought of Cameron and George Gideon Osborne being in charge at such a time of national importance is not one that fills me with confidence.

One of your best posts, pud. Get out now, whilst you're at the top Perhaps you could e-mail that to the plank who wrote the piece?

I'm liking it

From BBC. UK's economy is 'best in Europe' Paul Krugman Professor Krugman said that the UK had stabilised its banking system The UK is in the best shape out of all the economies in Europe, according to a leading economist. Paul Krugman, who won the 2008 Nobel prize for economics, said that the UK's economic policies had been "pretty good" and called them "intelligent". The government also deserved more credit for its policies, he said in an interview with The Observer newspaper. His comments come at the end of a week when the pound has risen to its highest level this year. But Professor Krugman believes the earlier fall in the value of sterling may have helped the UK. "The UK has achieved a lot of monetary traction in the way that no one else has through the depreciation of the pound. In effect, you've carried out a successful beggar-my-neighbour devaluation," he said. "I think the UK economy looks the best in Europe at the moment." The government's policies had managed to stabilise the banking system, he said. He added: "If the government can hold off having an election until next year, Labour might well be able to run as 'we're the people who brought Britain out of the slump'." I honestly believe that we were lucky Gordon Brown was in the Government at the time of the financial crisis. Say what you like about him, but I believe he is tip top when it comes to fiscal affairs. Forget Alistair Darling, he had nothing to do, as it was Brown who made the all the tough decisions. Yeah, Brown must take his share of the blame in letting the financial sector to get out of control, but I wouldn't have wanted any other person in control of the situation when it began to blow up last Octber, and onwards, than Gordon Brown. The thought of anyone else making the decisions is a bit scary imo. But we're not out of the woods yet, and despite the current opinion polls deficit, I would urge the voters to return G.Brown to office at the next election. For me, he's the best man for the job.

The thing is, I wonder who thought of this in the first place?? Surprised to see their from Bristoww and not Smogland or hicksville sur wear.

Errr..... Exactly, errr. Rob W, rubbing shoulders with the rich, famous, and movers and shakers of the world. Curbishley or Coppell, eh Rob ?

I'm wonderin' if Owen will emerge as an absolute HATE figure on Tyneside once he's gone i.e. a lot of folk are presently merely tolerating the guy as he's 'one of us' but once he's gone will reconsider their feelings towards him? I could be one of them.

Reminds you about the good ol' days and deliberately dropping the soap in the showers, eh?

It's really about time we started culling people like these. Morons. Total and utter morons.

24hr Party People. Great film about Tony Wilson, Factory, The Hacienda and 'The Manchester Scene' from the late 70's onwards. Steve Coogan was fantastic as Wilson. Feel like watching it again straight away. 8.5/10 (not as much music as I thought there would be)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/8095917.stm To the untrained eye, it looks photoshopped. But what do I know, eh? If the BBC says it was 'unveiled', then it must be there.

I honestly don't know why you bother going on there. Do you not feel grubby afterwards, and does your 'puter not get infected in some way???

If Shepherd did come back, there would be one silver lining: we wouldn't be burdoned with that parasite D.Haaaall this time.
