Coraline – with my grandson. Weird and not recommended for under 10s. I suppose the moral is the grass is never greener on the other side, despite appearances.

OK then, what about Corporate manslaughter ?

Please elaborate so that I don’t misunderstand you.

Well it’s certainly been getting a few pounds out of this enthusiast every month and continues to do so…………….

I believe I am right in saying that one of the reasons there was so little industrial strife in Germany was because the British set up the union/employer relationship along lines similar to those proposed by you.

The problem here was that the unions, for idealogical reasons, and with a few exceptions, could never accept that it was in their best interests to encourage successful and profitable businesses. Many were infiltrated by Marxist idealogues whose purpose was to destroy the fabric of the capitalist state. Which is, of course, why Maggie did what she had to do.

That is very sad, although not unexpected as he had been ill for some time. Despite his illustrious career with its enormous diversity of roles he will be indelibly etched into my mind as Callan. One of the best of the “spy” series ever made because it seemed to portray so well the mainly humdrum, rather sleazy, duplicitous world of the genre. Callan, played by Woodward and his “informer” Lonely, wonderfully played by Russell Hunter were great TV creations.

I think they may have BUT it is the wrong year,still in recession and also 1 month until Christmas.
If times were warmer and mopre promising they would stand more of a chance.
They do need to get the collection buckets out when she is flying and everyone is looking forward to seeing her.Out of sight on a dark winters night is not a good time.

I think you have got it right. Donating is all about timing and now is not the time. Many of us remain regular donors out of a spirit of support but it’s the megabucks which are needed and which are patently not there. And there is a growing sense of despair in the news letters and other statements.

Perhaps one of the recent lottery winners could help………;);)

Come on be realistic. The peron actually resposible for the demise of British coal mining was Arthur Scargill. His encouragement of the miners to strike was based on his misguided theory that the miners could get away with demanding whatever they liked and not risk being sacked. I remember his ‘Strike for your rights brothers, they’ll never dare sack you’ speeches. Unfortunately for him and more unfortunately for the miners he was supposed to be representing the bosses did sack them.

Absolutely and in doing so she emasculated the unions for good and so neatly prepared the ground for Blair’s new relationship between the government and the unions.

Ok, humour me please.

Lets take the current financial situation. Greed drove many financial instutions into bankruptcy/insolvency that has resulted in a major economic slump.

That slump has caused massive hardship to millions. I some case this hardship has resulted in the loss of life.

If you have the death penalty, should’nt those people that caused the economic slump be convicted and then executed.

Just a thought……….

Humouring is one thing, Waco, but following your tenuous link from financial greed to the noose is really a bit much.
