  1. Just proves Alice in Wonderland is alive, kicking and well !! Utter bloody madness I tell you.
  2. I just keep thinking..... If this load of disconnected, Westminster ( elected and un-elected ) luvvies, who think the rest of the UK is rubbish, really believed that staying in the EU is absolutely the best possible thing that could happen .... Why the *uck did they bother to have a referendum in the first place ? The huge amounts of money on pamphlets, trips around the country, TV appearances etc, all contribute to a complete waste of time and money, when there is so much constructive stuff to do n this country. Nero fiddles while Rome burns, comes to mind.
  3. When I joined HV 2+ years ago, I'd hoped to be able to make the odd sensible/ sarky comment to enliven proceedings. Since then unfortunately for me ( but probably in all your best interests !) health problems have got in the way. So now having had the all clear for 2 1/2 years,I'll explain what I feel after the nightmares I've seen. THEN you'll understand why I regard all religion as the work of, dare I say it, the devil. The devil I'd hasten to add that is in all of us. Not some hell and brimstone wally screaming about souls. Some people need direction in life, a classic case in point was a guy who called on me recently trying to sell me stuff. Now I am tight. Money is not growing in my orchard, nor am I able to make trillions of loaves from a Mcdonalds bun, or feed the 5K with a crappy fishfinger. This guy however had a hard life, he'd made wrong decisions etc etc. So in act of magnitutude unknown in the Toroidal household I made him a cup of coffee. The rollocks that spewd forth about religion,JC, how Freedom thingy doesn't influence anything etc was mind blowing. This guy had been brainwashed. Now I see the varilights, projectors and no doubt loud crappy music has been installed in the old cinema. ....At what cost ? Here is what these buffoons need to do. Forget all about sky fairies. Forget all about building 'temples' to the betterment of their egos. Try looking after the ill and infirm who have over their lifetimes given so much to the community. Help the unfortunate who have fallen on hard times with sensible advice Look after the youngsters who have some terrible debilitating diseases with no known cure. and above all wind your religious neck in and deal with real people with real problems not nonsense maybe written 1,000;s of years ago by people who needed to control the great unwashed. Finally I'll tell you about one time in the mens surgical ward in a hospital many miles from here. I was lying there recovering in a mini ward of 6 people. Hearing them talk I realised that actually I was the oldest and the most optimistic. I've never heard so much doom and gloom- they'd all lost the will to live, Sheeeesh no wonder people die in hospital. Then in came the traveling Chaplain... pissed out of his head, who proceeded to try and get the guys to sing, It was like something out of hi-di ho. People need to talk, to interact, to respond.TO BE HELPED. Not ruddy brainwashed. The rollocks of religion has arrived at Paris again. 'nough said. My case rests.
  4. but who actually owns/owned this plot. Here is the F & c press release: Historic F&C name survives major BMO rebrand By Dylan Lobo 11 Jun, 2015 BMO Asset Management has decided to keep the historic F&C name following a major branding exercise 12 months after it bought the firm. F&C can trace its roots back to 1868 when Foreign & Colonial launched the UK’s first investment trust. In 2001, the firm was acquired by Eureko and rebranded as F&C Asset Management. While BMO will become the dominant brand at the merged entity, there will be no name changes within F&C's investment trust and funds business. The savings scheme badge, F&C Investments, will also remain intact. F&C chief executive Richard Wilson (pictured) told Wealth Manager: ‘F&C will be the secondary brand and we will be sympathetic to the strong loyalty from the customers. He added: ‘There’s a lot of trust in that [F&C] brand. We recognise the value of it and appreciate it, we must be sensitive to that.’ On the broader corporate level though the firm will employ BMO, with the institutional, intermediated retail and wholesale businesses becoming BMO Global Asset Management. Additionally, F&C Reit will rebrand as BMO Real Estate Partners (Brep). So where does Omaha fit in ? The whole thing sounds more than fishy to me. As for city allotments, well it would work if somebody nicked the facade!!!!!! Seriously though this whole thing stinks, yes the insurance money has been paid out... to whom I wonder. The council have done nothing, the same council that Compulsorily purchased Rockfield for a road that will only give relief to ambulances and delivery lorries yet allow this eyesore to remain.
  5. Well here's a thing, having searched thru companies house records there is no mention of "Omaha Properties Ltd" Many other companies called Omaha xxx Ltd, but no one called Omaha Properties Ltd.... unless they're based in New Zealand. So we have a conundrum, a ghastly eyesore in an area where the council want to spend 2.5 million in regeneration. During the last war, many cities were bombed to extinction, Afterwards the councils just compulsory purchased the land and then sold it on to developers...usually at a profit. It was up to the previous owners to prove title, and get meagre recompense from the relevant council. Why can't this happen here ? So if OPL is in liquidation ( assuming it is/was even in existence ) the receiver/creditors etc will be glad of any cash... however small, couple that with the insurance payout that somebody has received and I reckon a CPO of say £150.00 on a like it or lump it basis, then find a real developer who'll pay the council say £500,000 and hey presto more money for redevelopment. And an eyesore is removed.
  6. Tithes ? in 2015? I'll doff my cap tighten my twine around my trews and rush off on Sundays to believe in sky fairys. If it wasn't real it would make a good sit-com probably on a sky fairy channel !!!!! Trouble is because we now don't have any safety net left for disadvantaged people ( thank you council and government ) then this seems a good deal. Hmmmm maybe FC should offer to rebuild the houses of parliament with their petty cash. Then we'll really need Guy Fawkes
  7. Many many years ago , ( and I'm getting aged now ) I remember a neigbour who apart from having a terrible BO problem saying to me ... at a distance ..... "any 'ism is a bad ism ' and I have to agree. Think about it and add 'ism' at the end.
  8. Hmmm, too may resignations ... something rotten in the state of Herefordshire. ( Well Denmark is a tad too far ). In the meantime the potholes get worse, the city centre dies and Nero is good at fiddling.!!!
