Current Affairs

Must admit I would agree. I always feel a bit uncomfortable when the old ‘I bought shares when 3 beans got you a cow’ followed by a summary of all the OBC accrued over the years ( my, what a lot of cruises you’ve been on, Granny.) I remember the years of Carnival giving £0 dividend and always mentioned it posts.
I do feel sorry for those who invested £5k only a few months ago.

You forgot to add the part when they met the Captain, such a lovely man ....

Am I noticing a tinge of the little green man rearing his ugly head?

Most certainly not ... we have sat with Captains, MI6 Commodores and all sorts ... Oh yes, don'tcha know

[Mervyn and Trish]

We had dinner with the Commodore. Just saying.....

Not the one on Aurora during the Somalian Pirate debacle .... surely

[screwy]

As the old saying goes......Spent a lot of money and end up eating with the Crew..!

[screwy]

And the prize for kn*b question of the day goes to....Emma Barnett 5 live.
Talking to Tobias Elwood regarding the PPE from Turkey, she asked if it was embarrassing that the RAF had to go there.? He replied, ‘ it’s what the RAF do ‘ surely a little research would have told her that’s what RAF transport command do. I suppose she would rather we spent more on chartering an aircraft.?

I'm thinking of deleting all these money grabbing posts, all way off Topic ... just saying

On the other hand there are those who get a bargain and then keep it a secret all to themselves.
Would be a better place if we all helped each other.

She's another sanctimonious journalist full of her own importance. Who did she think was going to deliver this shipment?

[screwy]

Ali Baber on his magic carpet.?

Don't investments and the economy come under Current Affairs?

No idea, you'de best ask a Moderator

I have slight issues with ex ministers like Elwood and Hammond doing interviews under the implied context that they represent the government.
Hammond did an interview in Politico EU yesterday giving his opinion on what the government should do with reference to any extension on the leave date.
I expect you can guess what he said.

Who knew the RAF had aeroplanes? Every day is a school day.

I agree. Especially ex ministers who were sacked/resigned-just-before-they-were-sacked who have an axe to grind.

On the subject of ministers you know you are in dire straits when Tony Blair turns up. Why does he think anybody should listen to him?

Because he is self obsessed ... just a guess of course

Because he's an expert. Remember he was a Middle East Peace Envoy. Look how well that went

[david63]

... and he took "advice" from experts!!

[oldbluefox]

Just as long as we remember that whatever he says we should do the opposite we should be fine.

[screwy]

And lets not forget it's the Boss's birthday..best gaffer i ever worked for.

[Frank Manning]

Tobias Ellwood is Chair of the House of Commons Defence Select Committee. Well qualified to comment on the role of the RAF.

[barney]

Not my point Frank
