Free exchange of opinions and ideas; no commercial benefit (well, look at the tips!); well-mannered Posts and polite exchanges on the Blog comments.



So there you are, bruvvers, you're now part of a democratic wave reacting to the antics and extravagances of our… Continue

Good Morning.

I should add a link to my own blog "The Gambler". This morning under the heading "An early morning update", I discuss the "MP Expenses Scandal", and the recent upturn in the UK and US economies. A story that has sadly gone unreported. Comments here, there, or wherever always welcome.

Piggy Faces.

In the meantime if anyone wants to repace their piggy face with a photo or an avatar, that might help.



An avatar is a computer user's representation of himself/herself or alter ego, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games,[1] a two-dimensional icon… Continue

Say thank you to the nice Barney Frank

Who he? you ask. Well, he's a Yank, hence the silly name. He is also the chairman of the House financial services committee. He is bringing in legislation to legalise internet gambling in the US and has cross-party support though the Vegas operators see it as a threat.
