Minerve - I've made my mind up and filtered you.

fhealey, yes there was a lot of actual MRO discussion at time of GKN takeover. But since then there has not been much newsflow so the debate has turned on to fine wines, beef, cricket, Brexit, sheep poo and the cause of Minerve's chronic low self-esteem issues. And constant moaning about how much the Exec's get paid.

Anyone ever discuss Melrose Industries on here?

Quite right. I told you I’d had a few glasses.

Majestic’s Château Grand Faurie La Rose 2013 Grand Cru, with lamb. Delicious.

"have had a few glasses of excellent St Emillion."

Let's hope it was a St Emilion, otherwise it may be a Chinese forgery /knock-off !


They are actually rather active in buying-up big-name chateaux/vine-yards, to the extent that the French are getting quite concerned.

Sorry, don’t understand the question? Mind you, have had a few glasses of excellent St Emillion.

It goes on what ?

The Scots will be on their bikes in due course

Tory party will fragment as Beefy Boris and Egg Nog sidle off to create the UK Bottoms Up party.A new centrist party will emerge making the possibility of majority rule in England quite remote.Coalition party politics will become the norm.

England will still be here. EU will disappear in the next 10 years max. Italy next.

“blue rinse old bags in Surrey“

How dare you speak about my wife’s Aunt like that.

Probability of EU existing at next Referendum (in 40 years)
versus
Probability of UK (England) existing (as a Nation) at next Referendum (in 40 years)?

The Tory party might look ok in the polls but that's because the UKIP inclined voters are using the Tories as a proxy for Brexit.When we leave(in whatever shape or form)but probably on a more acceptable version of May's plan,the UKIP element will evaporate for the greater part.The Tories lead in the poll might prove very transient .Anyway,demographics confirm that a lot of the old Brexiters will die in the next few years and,who knows,the youngsters might reapply for full EU membership.....there won't be anything those blue rinse old bags in Surrey and discontents in Stoke will be able to do about it.As Steve Boyd said in Ben Hur as he drew his last breath in the colosseum after the chariot race.."It goes on Judah,it goes on...."

Yep, I think it's safe to say that Minny performed poorly at school, and then went downhill from there.

[brexitplus] 18/1/2019 16:17

Getting, like Bluebottle in the Goons I believe m has “2 O Levels and a budgerigar.”

You already know my list and we already decided that it doesn't relate to IQ or wisdom.

The argument has moved on, do keep up! LOL

[brexitplus] 18/1/2019 15:56

And MW’s achievements please.

[gettingrichslow] 18/1/2019 15:53

It's funny though. Hey Minny, I thought you had run away?! Give us your list!

[brexitplus] 18/1/2019 15:14

M has gone barmy.

[minerve] 18/1/2019 15:04

Ah, 40 Brexiter Taliban holding the country hostage. Or democracy as Brexiters call it

One night farmer Brown was takin' the airs
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house, somethin' stirred
When he shouted, "Who's there?"
This is what he heard
“There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble with your chin”
“There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
You're kickin' up an awful dust
We chicken's tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble, it's a sin”
“Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, We got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of settin', gettin' chicks to hatch”
“Ohh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble hobble of and hit the hay”
“Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of settin', gettin' chicks to hatch”
“There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
And kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble hobble of and hit the hay”
“Hey, hey, boss man, what do ya say?
It's easy pickings
Ain't nobody here but us chickens”

[minerve] 18/1/2019 14:26

Can't stay, busy.

[minerve] 18/1/2019 14:25

I think you need to work on your inferiority complex. It's not too late. ;)

Zimmer

Not at all.

Have just returned from visiting a 92 years old ex-neighbour in a nursing home.

Sitting in the lounge she pointed to a poor old chap saying “He drinks too much. He sits there in the corner repeating “Respect me because I am wealthy beyond your wildest dreams”.”;

I recognised you at once because of the Zimmer frame beside you.
