  1. What I find quite incredible is that some overpaid (presumably intelligent) faceless fuck in the Bundestat took this decision clearly based on his own agenda (dealing a blow to russian money launderers) without seemingly, any thought to the implications to all the other ordinary savers.

    I'm just an normal bloke with no great knowledge of money-markets and, like thousands of others, it was pretty obvious to me that the sh1t was going to hit the fan.

    Maybe the time has come for everyone to take their savings out of banks and bring these corrupt arseholes to their knees.

    With interest rates as they are there is virtually nothing to lose by doing this.
  2. What ill thought out logic by the Bundestag.

    Will they be surprised, or even care that come Tuesday there will be such a run on the banks as ordinary savers remove all their savings, not just in Cyprus either but everywhere within the euro-zone. Total fucking idiots.

    Interesting slant on this by Robert Peston

    "So the only way to get the bailout through the Bundestag is for the launderers to be taxed to the tune of almost 10% of their allegedly ill-gotten cash. And if innocent savers are hurt too, that is the way this particular "Keks" will crumble."

    Sums it up really, they don't give a fuck about us.

  3. [quote user="Chancer"]How about scrapping the working with wood and motorcycling sections and starting an animal rescue one????

    Before anyone goes on the defensive I enjoy the postings from both those sections and have started subjects myself but they are very thin on the ground now that the original protagonists have departed. The postings could equally be made elsewhere.

  4. If you seriously want the posts to improve, rather than being an "occasional visitor" making "the odd post", get off your hands and start new discussions.

    The forum IS quiet compared to the halcyon days we enjoyed in the past - people move on - new people come in, its the nature of the beast.

    I started the Motorcycling section a few years ago and that has gone quite well, why not do something similar on your own particular interests ?

    I'm guessing that won't be animal rescue LOL

  5. [quote user="JandM"]

    Anyway, they have wrecked this part of the forum, which I used to find very useful. Can they be stopped, or perhaps they can all be put within a single post?

    Hey, for goodness sake. All those posts, as far as I can see, are genuine. Just dedicated people trying to help animals into a better environment.

    You've made 47 posts since 2007, so not exactly a great contributor.

    If you don't like it - don't read the posts - simple. [:@]

  6. It is a little known fact that the French Navy has for many years had a

    motto, the mere mention of which excites its hot-blooded members to combat

    and conquest.

    In English it is "To the water; it is time".

    In the original French, however, it reads: "A l'eau; c'est l'heure".

    Try saying that in an Hello hello accent
  7. Summed it up perfectly Sid, its OK as a place to ride to/meet up but not a great deal to look at.

    That said, if you're hunting for parts for older bikes you have a good chance of finding the bits you want.

    A few of us Tourdregs Club Moto members are going, weather permitting, of course.
