Mr Darling said we will be out of the recession in 2013 but Miss Cooper his deputy said on Radio 4 2017. They can not even agree with each other, come on get your story right.
2044....Its a city boy thing....the number 44...usually expressed as a percentage...ask any city boy for a number relating to any statistic and they will generally plump for 44 as this is not to much to threaten and not too small to scare. So I opt for 2044 as the year we come out of recession, by that time I will be long gone and not in the slightest bit bothered. Try it out....go back thru history...ask any question you like....when will we invade France??? See it works.
Recession.. It's just a roman catholic plot to make us beleive we cannot aford condoms. So our first action is to assault Italy. This will have the beneficiary effect that we get of on the right foot for a change... Wait a minute there is a drawback here. We need to get Brown (the colour of poo Btw) to go live on the telly and confirm that the latest talks were succesful and that there will be "labour/economy/limpwristed PM's in our time" and then blow it. Thus we can put Richard up as the new PM. He'll lower the taxes on beer and promise swift action against the Ities. (Richard you'd better stock up on cigars and the waters of life from Scotland) With Italy in the bag we can go on to other outrageous claims.
Ang on....that that bit about Jaeger being put on Gerneral staff....That was quick..He's got us marching into Italy.... Mind you. I coud do with 2 weeks in Lido Di Jeslo... I'll take the Northern pincer group. 1st ww2 forums British Brigade gp. Richard takes the Middle of Italy with the ww2 froums European Brigade gp Jaeger comes up with the American ww2 forums brigade gp under the command of Skipper as he seems a good American of sorts...Just remember fries not chips. Thru Sicily and up the boot. Jaeger takes Italy, Richard gets top job, I get 2 weeks in Lido. Talk about power going to yer ead....Maybe I'll just book a 2 week holiday.
I'll be basking in the sun on the Adriatic coast. Hmm we need to plan the campaign so that it will be over in time for the summer. That gives us 40 days of extra of making bed boxes and marching up and down the square.
Nothing wrong with marching up and down the square...teach a few of em on ere a thing or two...bed boxes..do they still do them...Mine constantly went out the window in basic....and I was on third floor...
Good heavens! they havent discarded the practice of bed boxes have they? Perhaps they shake the index finger at the recruits and say that they've been naughty...
Well I believe in basic they now have carpets on the floor....how do you polish a carpet with a hand held bumper stick?
As for the budget. If this was labour 12 years ago, when we could afford it, I might be on here defending the budget. However as it is, its just a sop. It certainly wont get the lost masses of labour members and doorstep callers back into the fold, no matter how many letters and begging bowls Labour hq sends me. Too late sunshine. The emporer has no clothes. But its a win win as far as Gordons deluded mind seems to be thinking....they may be fooled into thinking this is the real labour me..I care, look at my smile..Daily Mail readers are too far gone for that one now Gordon. They too see the emporer has no clothes in middle England. Youve lost them and me. But it doesnt seem to bother him, win win...he tried a laobour budget of old, just 12 years too late on a country that even a socialst like me will admit cannot afford this mess...So in election year he says I am one of you the people, and even if he loses, he leave such a poisoned chalice for the next incumbent it is difficult to understand his lifeboat tactics. Perhaps as I've come to think over the years, labour are only good in opposition...It seems to be the only time they stand up for the individual at any rate, so back to the opposition benches you go for a very long time...You had 12 years to prove your labour credentials. You didnt bother. So I wont bother with you now. And what of the Private Initiative Finance funding...? For long long time, it was expediant for govt to not go more than few billion in the red...Labour had heart attacks and showed no mercy when a tory chancellor announced one year a 40 billion defecit... My god the fools cant run a p...up in a brewery or words to that effect... Now we have figures that would seem so ridiculous the RAF are changing their motto to reach for the moon. PFI, he's been trying to hide the cost off the govt books for 3 years now, try getting a freedom of infomation query through on that minefield...30 billion has been hidden off govt finance sheet for almost 3 years now...keeps getting added to the next years budges, but never appears on govt spending or borrowing lists or announcements. 30 Billion obviously an embarassing amount 3 years ago, so must be hidden for as long as possible...folk would query the value, especially since the govt has now to step in and finance the finance initiative with taxpayers money,,,sort of robbing Peter to pay Peter not Paul. So come on Gordon, I still cant see it in this years figures...unless someone else can, when are you going to sneak that little costing in too?
My dear Urqh you fail to see the soloution. Here's what to do. Ring up Darling and tell him to write a cheque worth £30M. From the EU to the UK. After all two world wars and world cup has got to be worth something hasn't it? The tricky bit is explaining to the PM and MP's that in order to get a new cheque they have to earn it... again. OR run UK Ltd. better than Leyland was done in the 60-70ies. If all else fail there still is my aforementioned solution. Don the tin hats and get a brew on.
Haven't been able to afford to put the light "on" since last years budget Richard ... I've had my two young'uns "shuffling" really fast on the carpet for the last 12 months just to generate enough friction to boil a kettle Seen it coming ??? :radar: Wasn't difficult really ... "Cptn. Darling" doesn't exactly need a 'sniper-scope' to hit all the things the vast masses thrive on daily ... As for we that smoke well...That's are own bloody fault, we should thank him for his efforts at persuading us to quit ... by pricing us out of the "country" to buy fags (manufactured in the UK) cheaper in another EU country (travel exp. included). "Slackbladder sketch" ... Night before budget, Mrs.D "Are you coming to bed, darling?" "Just trying to work out the combination for this Bl00dy case, darling. The Budgets tomorrow." Mrs.D "Oh, come on darling ... It's... M - A - S - S." "How do you know that darling?" Queries Mr.D "That's easy darling," replies she "Motorists - Alcoholics - Smokers - and Suckers!" "Ha, ha ... Of course darling ... But what will it spell next year ... When we have to think of V - oters??"
