  1. .. but there were a few people from Lancashire - send them home!
  2. I thought UKIP was going to disappear once they won the referendum and their job was done. Wasn't that what they said? I wonder how many people voted Leave if it meant they never Nigel Farage on the TV again! (Probably none - but it worth a thought)
  3. The truth is this - Yes it does vanish into thin air! It is similar to someone doing a valuation on your house. Companies such as RBS borrow money from the shareholders - who pay to buy shares They pay dividends to stop the shareholders taking their money back Shares at RBS that were worth £100 are now worth £65. The shareholders might say - bad idea - let me have my money before the shares are only worth £35. Bad new for RBS if all shareholders withdrew their money (which is when the government has to step in). The last boom occurred when it seemed everybody could get a mortgage and had a house that was worth more and more The last crash occurred when it was realised that this was not true - especially those houses where the owners defaulted on the mortgage, were evicted but the bank could not sell the house to anyone.
  4. Scientists are dummb., D.U.M.M.B. !!!
  5. Somebody said there was a referendum on today. Does anybody know anything about it?
  6. Hooray - that virus worked! Oops - I wasn't supposed to tell you.
  7. Tim Peake has missed out on all his air miles - because he really hasn't travelled anywhere recently
  8. Have you tried eating pickled chillies? As I understand it hay-fever is caused by oversensitivity to pollen. Chillies and other spicy things are an irritants as well and as you get use to them you get less sensitive to pollen. I am not a doctor but it certainly worked for me, .
  9. Did he used to play piano for the Boomtown Rats? Not sure where I got that idea from.
  10. What? People on reality shows have last names? That's news to me!
  11. What does Franz Ferdinand have to say about this Austria-Hungary game?
  12. Aaaaarrgghh Switched on the telly to watch highlights of Love Island but its all been cancelled because of some stupid tournament with people kicking a ball about the place. What's happening with Darren and Samantha?
  13. Never mind. I took a copy and used it to visit Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, while I was leaving to return to Earth, I kind of think I left those notes behind. Oops. Sorry.
  14. ..and no replies about the universe. First page all mine. Do I win a prize! (In other words, why is nobody entering any reply to anything on this forum - apart from Firhill Road and Granny Danger)
  15. Yeah, I'm the same. Except I still can't think of anything to say!
  16. I don't know, I just haven't thought of anything to say.
  17. The campaign to leave the EU is all part of a subtle plan to abandon vowels altogether.
  18. I recall a local pub band that intermixed Octopus' Garden and Champagne Supernova effortlessly
  19. Baa Baa Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Love to be at the court case for that one!
  20. .. but you can eat your dinner off an occasional table when it is not busy being something else.
