+ + + Double Dip + + +
UK GDP fell -0.2% in Q1 2012. Ouch…
So in a recession with 5% inflation.
Good work Useless and Hopeless.
Now stop printing, let the weak fail. It will hurt but the sooner the rubbish is consigned to the dustbin of history he sooner real capitalists can pick this country out of the mess it is in
OK from what I know about economics, haven't all other similar double dips recessions then were followed by recovery?
Is there any such thing as a triple dip recession?
Just asking
And after the cunning trick of getting as many of us as possible to buy petrol in March rather that April just to push retail sales up.
Or are the b**** just incompetent?
Still at least there are any local or mayoral elections soon
If labour were in power growth would be 10%. That is allowing for fiddling the facts, cover ups and down right lies.
Eventually we will have an infinite number if dip recessions. Unless of course we find a planet with growth potential.
Shurely construction cannot be struggling.
Making mountains out of molehills has shown a 50% growth in the last 12 months.
It's ok. That's a conspiracy by the BBC. See how they're reporting it. Commies.
No chance. If printing 5% GDP didn't stop the recession, they we obviously need to print 10%. Forget the fact that this maintains unsustainable asset prices and zombie businesses – thus killing any real innovatiuon. Just focus on all those landlords who need their rent.
Oh do grow up. Commies? Left wing perhaps. Biased certainly. Commies they are not.
We have had enough of these spiffing wheezes.
Time to clear the dead wood.
Let market forces apply.
We have all had enough time to get our money out of the vulnerable industries.
Devil take the hindmost and all that!
Should have just bought another destroyer. Paid cash up front.
Hey presto.. 'growth'.
There's no shortage of growth potential. We create the obstacles, we sap the energy and we disincentivise the productive. We have only ourselves to blame.
Toxic Ned will be absolutely delighted.
Going on about the golden legacy left by Labour that has been squandered by the T*ries.
These thick bastards just dont get it.
If you tax us to death how the fuck do you think people are going to spend ? You have taken all our money.
Get out of the EU and use the billions saved to lower petrol prices, lower VAT and tax cuts for workers, not scroungers.
So, rewarding fecklessness and waste while punishing producers is harmful to the economy.
Oh dear that's a disapointment. I know how to solve the problem though, I will raise taxes and make energy fiercely expensive, that should do the trick.
Thank god we've got that solid manufacturing base and highly motivated work force to get us through this difficult time.
Real capitalism? Yuk, I prefer the nice cosy crony kind with lots of rigged markets.
I say, chaps and chappettes! If you're struggling to buy things during this recession thingy, I have a whizzer top-tip for you.
Next time you send your maidservant to get the shopping, make sure she brings back the receipts. Then ask your secretary to submit the receipt to your employer's expenses department, and they'll add the cost of what you've paid to your next wage packet. Ta-da! You won't have to pay for anything.
That's what I do and it works like a charm. So stop moaning and step to it!
Toodle pip!

Toodle pip!
Osborne has not cut fast enough, and figures show he is following Labour plan to halve deficit.
I don`t think Labour should be that smug about this.
A "Double Dip" takes on a whole new meaning for our public school oiks today
The clueless wankers that run "Our Country" For the 8 quaters since Osbourne was allowed to be chancellor He has got it Wrong
Merv king has had 24 attempts at predicting growth figures and 24 times he got it Wrong (But get's a knighthood for coming close) growth predictions and forecasts ALL Wrong ! but hey let's keep borrowing more and more money to give to other failing countries and borrowing more and more money to pay more and more unemployment benefits
I've been around a long time and as clueless C*nts go this bunch are worse by a country mile !
Not at all. The obvious thing to do was to print 10bn quid and employ another 200,000 civil servants last quarter.
Hey presto… 'growth'.
I really do not understand this, in the past 12 months our re-curring turnover has GROWN by over 270%.
Where is this recession?
We are expanding, employed a new staff member this month, looking for another 2 staff (who are difficult to find with the correct experience).
5% inflation my giddy aunt!
Anybody that does the weekly shop knows it's nearer 8% or 9% but governments have got very good at hiding these figures.
Now it starts and the question of whether the country can pay off its debts faces us.
Rising interest rates and the possibility lower disposable incomes leading to deflation should do the rest.
Its fortunate that our politicians have more important things to trouble them – like their careers.
Where's Humdinger's Cat when you need her? I'm wanting a defence of Our Dear Leaders.
What? If you print enough money you can have perpetual 'growth'?
Worked well for Mugabe.
I suppose it doesn't help that georgieporgie threw another 10billion that we don't have at the sinking euro through the IMF.
Camoron and Osbrown have done fuckall to get this country back on track…
Tinkering with the deckchairs rather than releasing us from the tax burden imposed by Labour, wasting money on EU and IMF.
The the UK taxpayers a £10 billion "loan" George, rather than dishing it out to another feckless state.
Im voting UKIP !!!
Outrageous……….. cataclysmic fall in gdp of Zimbabwean proportions :)
Age has obviously affected your memory.
The Maximum Imbecile squandered 300bn quid to buy 0.1% of 'growth' just before the last election.
And Cameron and Co can still give £50 million pounds of taxpayers' money to the EU each day! Cameron also wants to make it law to give £35 million pounds each day to overseas aid. Clegg and chums resist the welfare cap of £26,000- more than most people earn- so it does not pay to work. Pickles has done nothing about the 3,000 local authority employees earning more than £100,000 each year. Immigration soaring, migrant workers claims for welfare increasing. Can these loony tunes add up???
Osborne just gave away another £10 billion of taxpayers' money to the IMF to Shore up the Euro- he stated CLEARLY, as they always do, that he would not do this. Cameron confirmed this as well. There were £8.6 billion cuts last year and the UK taxpayer had paid over £12 billion in bali outs- money that had to be borrowed with interest to be given away to help an EU project. No such help came from the French or Germans when the Uk tried to enter the ERM, quite the opposite, they sold sterling to exacerbate the problem. Cameron would know this as he was a SPAD to Lamont at the time!! Once more, can the loony tunes add up? Stop spending it is not a difficult concept to understand and you do not need a PPE from Oxbridge to grasp this point. What sort of innumerate dick wits are they producing?
Thanks to inflation of several million percent I think Bob Mugabe had twenty or so years of uninterrupted 'growth' as measured in Zim dollars.
It's the same strategy the Maximum Imbecile used.
Me too Steve – in chemicals trade/industry – and most people with whom I deal.
And no, there no shortage of finance.
Rising Sterling is a concern, but the greatest worry is described by my good friend 'this septic pile' in comment 38 below. Thats the outlook for most of the rest of the population – and at what cost?
Most of the BBC senior positions are held by Common Purpose graduates, you know, the Marxist 'charity' that is working towards government in the post democratic era. Make of that what you will, to me the BBC looks awfully close to a communist propaganda outfit.
MPs expenses, Lords lifestyles, subsidised bars and restaurants in the Palace of Westminster, Dave's dinner parties at no10 & Chequers (tho' thank the Lord they aren't cringeworthy pyjama parties!!) vincecable's dancing lessons, militwit's speech therapy …………………….
A dinner with a news mogul will do the trick to spin how good we are.
When John Major left office manufacturing was 21% of GDP and highly efficient.
Then came the Blair Brown terror.
Don't leave it too late to emigrate.
jmg2, unfortunately George and Co are carrying on where Gordon left off. This government is on the ropes. After 29 years of supporting the Conservatives I will no longer be doing so. Same old, sameold, same old.
In the sixties before Wilson, Callaghan and the unions destroyed it.
This is BREAKING NEWS on the BBC's news site.
I imagine the c*nts are rubbing their hands together, trying to decide whether to buy the Champagne to line the corridors with now or leave it until just before the election.
Is the £10 billion a committment rather than an actual cash payment?
Kaiser Otto's 10 Principles for the White Man
against Freudo-Marxist Bolshevism and Cultural
1. We won't allow subtle fictions to influence our
minds. Television, radio, magazines, schools, and
newspapers are designed to condition our minds
with the sly propaganda of enemy pressure
groups and anti-white man forces.
Plato wasn't joking when he warned us about the
effect of poetry on the mind.
2. We reject attempts to regulate our thought and
language and are wary of political euphemisms.
Political correctness will be openly defied by us at
every opportunity. There is no such thing as
racism, sexism, or homophobia. Beware of the
tendentious rhetoric of manipulative liberals and
social democrats dishonestly dressed as broad-
minded 'moderate' opinion.
3. Man is superior to woman. Women are better
off staying at home and taking care of children and
the elderly. Never argue with a woman. Humble
her with a subtle "Quiet now, men are talking."
attitude. Leo Abse used Freudian psychology to
influence the British parliament to legalise
divorce, abortion, and other perversions of public
decency. Later he founded the law firm Leo Abse &
Coen and profited financially from these corrupt
changes to the law. Children were destroyed by
divorce and Leo Abse made a pretty penny. Now
he's gone, and there are men like him in every
town in the world counting their immoral profits
whilst laughing with glee.
4. There are secret societies and pressure groups
that indoctrinate the weak-minded with an anti-
white man ideology and train them in the ignoble
use of cunning practical psychological techniques.
Learn to recognise and deal with the abilities of
these charlatan 'students' or we'll be destroyed.
They have a common purpose and so do we, only
we'll be honest about our purpose and we'll win
because we're right and true.
5. Truth and beauty guide us. Morality and
hypocrisy are two sides of the same coin known as
Man. Forgiveness will protect our morals from the
youthful fool's impulsive walk towards
6. Transformative leadership is lacking. Our
leaders have sold us out and can change little
except the presentation of their lies. Embracing
powerless frontmen and mouthpieces will get us
killed. Take responsibility for yourself and your
family. You are a transformative leader. Your duty
in life is to create 12 more transformative leaders.
Remember, Jesus Christ did it without killing
anybody, and you can be a good man too. Think
locally, act locally.
7. Usury was a sin for a reason. Usury has ruined
millions of families and subjugated dozens of
nations. Usury is poison to the white man. Piles of
paper money may or may not burn nicely, but gold
glitters forever.
8. Revolutions are started to benefit greedy
financial interests and secure resources not to
remove immoral dictators or protect 'the people'.
They send in the spies to forment discontent,
divide and rule and profit handsomely from the
hideous terror and bloodshed.
Scandal is a weapon too.
9. How would you protect your family if paper
money were worthless, water supplies were
poisoned, power sources were scarce, diseases
were spread deliberately, and our official
democratically elected government were
reprogrammed to oppress our existence and steal
our earnings and property? How would you keep
your family warm, sheltered, and free from
hunger and want? How would you restore order
and de-escalate violence when the enemy
stormtroopers want to stamp on your face
forever? Are you prepared to be murdered?
10. Education is the key to everything. The global
education industry is controlled by our enemies.
Take responsibility for educating your own
friends and family. Teach them how to
communicate properly using traditional methods.
How to calculate numbers. How to defend the
culture, traditions, art, family, religion, principles,
history, morality, elitism, intelligence, truth,
justice, and beauty of home.
And how to spot a lie too.
Fortis est veritas.
"Society is indeed a contract. But it is not a
partnership in things subservient only to the
gross animal existence of a temporary and
perishable nature. It is a partnership in all
science, a partnership in all art, a partnership in
every virtue and in all perfection. As the ends of
such a partnership cannot be obtained in many
generations, it becomes a partnership not only
between those who are living, but between those
who are living, those who are dead, and those who
are to be born." – Edmund Burke
Good luck gentlemen.
In the oil and gas industry I'm in, the only shortage is engineers.
This should mean a 0.2% reduction in the license fee.
Well I might but not until they make quite clear what all their policies are. One of their ilk has been canvassing round here for the local elections, something of an oddball and very vociferous anti-abortionist.
Doesn't seem to know anything about local issues , potholes in road size of footballs, graffiti over walls at local shopping centre, expensive traffic calming measures disgracefully & pointlessly installed on rural virtually traffic free roads and that sort of stuff.
It's essentially an overdraft facility upon which the government earns interest. Has fuck all effect on growth.
Why are you worried? We were in recession under Labour for years.They simply borrowed to cover it up. The Boom did not last long;the Bust is going to be around for a while.
I am pleased you at least now understand the smelly stuff we are in but it is not new.
It's already too late.
The sweet spot was 2007.
Admittedly though it's probably still better to leave now that wait and hope for the best. The best has been and gone and won't be seen for another twenty years if we're lucky. Longer if we're unlucky.
Rational explanation for all this :
Leaves in Gloucestershire
Sporadic light snow
Some rain
Harold Wilson
Robert Peston
Correct. Conservative growth or the lack of it is benign because of austerity, and relatively harmless. Malignant Labour public sector invasive growth has always been shown to eventually result in death of the 'patient'.
Try the "reduced" shelves Nell. Mind you, you have to elbow the OAPs out of the way first.
Is that right? Because if it is he'd better change his mind fast. There's no support anywhere in the UK for more money that we don't have to be given to the EU.
With luck the collapse of the eu and euro will happen in my lifetime. I shall organise a street party to celebrate if that auspicious day arrives.
I am beginning to understand now why the lad with the ginger hair put his head over the parrapet the other day.
The ONS is truly independent.
Still think the pound will trade against the euro at 1.25 soon.
BBC reporters all having massive orgasms. I thought there was a watershed!
Agreed jgm2, however it still does not make Osborne's slavish continuation of Labourfilth's appalling command and control, borrow, print, tax and spend bullshit, any the more acceptable.
Indian space program, Pakistani nuclear missiles,African dictators Swiss bank accounts, Quangos, 2 million box tickers, bedwetters & bureaucrats, climate change scam, propping up the Euro & the feckless Greeks,Spanish,Portugese,Irish etc.
Don't leave it too late to emigrate.
More to the point, Nell – they pay out on Governemnt Gilt investment bonds based on this 5% "infaltion" figure plus a small percentage. If they used the realities we all see and you stated the would be cattled, because the inflation part payments are tax free.
So, higher payments, no income – same as us really!
Quite so. From 2001/2 onwards the Maximum Imbecile was borrowing 2,3,4% of GDP every year to engineer 1,2,3% of 'growth'.
In the final year of the Imbecility they borrowed 11% of GDP to engineer 0.1% of 'growth'.
For the last two years we've been borrowing 9% or so of GDP to engineer 0.2% 'growth'.
It's been fucked for the last decade. This 'double-dip' is a just an artefact. A second order 'recession'. Without insane amounts of borrowing – over 1,000 billion since 2001 – we've been in deep recession for a decade.
Do you trust the governments DATA?
If the government levy higher TAX on FUEL, ENERGY, VAT.
They will leave less in the economy and it will shrink, Propping up the governments Ponzi scheme wont and isn't working.
Indian space program, Pa-kistani nuclear missiles,African dictators Swiss ba-nk accounts, Quangos, 2 million box tickers, bedwetters & bureaucrats, climate change scam, propping up the Euro & the feckless Greeks,Spanish,Portugese,Irish etc.
Don't leave it too late to emigrate.
You will have to wait a long time.
I take the RPI, (not CPI) double it (to eliminate frigging) and take the result off the growth figure.
We have been in an unending recession since McBroon.
You can stick your Robert Pestons and your Stephanie Flanders up your arse for all the good they do.
Exactly my dear fellow these torys have not got a clue. Me and gordon spent 300billion for %0.1 growth.
You can't trust the tories when it comes to the economy!
Has Leveson just told the media and labour to shut the fuck up until all witnesses have been called?
Never doubted the bottomless black hole that gormlessgordon dropped us in before he went and hid behind the chair in his dark kirkcaldy playroom. But you'd have thought this lot would have made a better job of digging us out of it!
Nope. Simpler than that. They didn't borrow and squander enough to create 'growth'.
Cut taxes.
Sack 1 million public sector workers.
Stop all payments to the EU.
Close DFID.
Not rocket science – if you want growth – get rid of the state parasites & cut taxes.
Cameron & Osbourne OUT – your Labour "lite" Brownonomics are a disaster.
I think the euro collapsed many years ago. Like labour the EU has been very good at covering up the true facts.
See us backstage and we are going to make sure that you get the help you need.
Give him a round of applause everyone!
Correct IRYh. Unfortunately jgm2 is so fixated on Brown's failings he cannot see the pathetic performance of Osborne.
Indeed. Osborne should have cut hard and deep from Day One. Do like the Ir*ish. 20% headcount or pay cuts for the bedwetters, boxtickers and bastards from Day One. Their choice.
It would be over by now. Instead of which it'll be another three months (minimum) of Ned Balls swaggering around giving it 'I told you so'. As if it was a surprise to anybody that the economy Labour had bequeathed was anything other than a disaster waiting to happen.
I thought you were describing East Herts District Councillors for a moment. The only difference is ours are Tory
Ha Ha The Phoney Drug War is not half damaging the economy. Wonder if Cameroon is going to tell us how the PEACE TIME DEFICIT is still at its largest as he and OSBOOM Grow it and keep on damaging the capitalist economy.
Yes Sandra you do know you are talking revolution
Its what the USA are doing and it cant go on forever. What a Shit storm is coming
May 2007 was perfect.
After 37 continuous years of house-ownership in the UK, it was a sweet call.
Actually, I think it should mean a 100% reduction and a 'subscription model' to replace 'the unique way' (read: menacing letters, then home visits by Capita thugs, then prison) the BBC is funded.
Lets the fucking shirt lifting lefties learn the quick, hard way exactly how much people are actually willing to pay to watch/listen to umpteen channels of Labour propaganda, in which anything that destroys our culture = goodthink.
A recession. Oh happy day, all my Christmases have come at once!
Then it's a very good thing that modern democracies can print as much fiat currency as they like…
This weird language always makes me laugh. chaps and chapettes , whizzer top-tip and toodlepip?!!
Where do you come from. I've never lived anywhere that spoke like that.Although I do wonder if perhaps you are a labour mp or something – most mps I suspect talk weird language and live on another planet.
Hence 5% inflation.
But that's been the strategy since the balloon went up in 2008. Inflate away all our debts. Government, personal and corporate.
Indeed it's the only possible strategy left which is why it's being pursued. So fucked is the economic situation the Maximum Imbecile dr*o*ve us into.
You will not have to wait long nell, the Euro is unsavable.
The payments / loans, call them what you like, will never be repaid. Nor one penny of interest. Anyone who imagines that the PIIGS have a pot of gold hidden in a back room that will solve the incoming shitstorm, is frankly either deluded or the Chancellor.
Thats what I did as well, even covered my light bulbs and sky tv package as well as enabling me to show my generosity by paying my cleaner a handsome wage via my brother.
More like -20% if you live in the real world of retail rather than the phoney figures of plus or minus a fraction of a percent from government stat benders!
I've been dipped so much I feel like a wet sheep.
I just wish I had gone into the real money and become a politician!
I suppose bullyballs is already in front of his mirror practising his strange gurning movements to portray double dip ready for his frontbench appe@rance at lunchtime.
Perhaps like gordon he can add some sort of jaw and mouth movement to make it even more entertaining.
The Indian Space programme, its not rocket science.
Reaganomics. War on Drugs Fills prisons keeps a load of coppers in a job. Well done Murdoch for driving the Media side of the DRUG SCAM.
You hit the nail on the head. All these MP's, County and District Councillors own Buy to Let properties. The whole economy is now based upon keeping all real estate prices artificially high. Total madness.
Brown's failings are so monstrous that nobody could have fixed the UK economy without severe pain or a 'double-dip' recession.
If Osborne has faults – and he does – it is that he didn't go in hard and fast on Day One. Go straight into a double-dip and slaughter the public sector. Get it over with.
Now we've wasted two years giving people false hope that there was some painless way out of the Brownian clusterfuck. There ain't. There never was. I don't know why they even bothered pretending.
Mervyn King warned the nation back in 2009/2010 that whoever was elected would be forced to make such hard cuts that they'd be out of power for a generation.
Where are these 'cuts'? Why weren't/aren't they being made? We're just two years older and no further into curing the fucking mess. Four years since 2008. Four years wasted.
Thank you Brown. You wicked and malicious c*unt.
Why the fxxk are the Westminster and BBC luvvies so obsessed with the hacking saga. The media have always been rooting around in the sewers for stories about our corrupt hypocritical politicians and celebrities. That's their job using whatever methods they can.
Sack Leveson and Hunt and Co. now. Close down the Ministry of Culture Media and Sport forthwith. It achieves nothing of any real use. Save taxpayers money.
Get a grip Cameron. Stop being weak.
A fith of one hundredth is neither hear nor there. It means absolutely nothing.
It is really sweet how all the "Care in the Community" releases have gravitated to this site.
Agreed! Alongside yet another Labour government and yet another recession, and it will continue forever and a day until we change the status quo.
Given that Fondling Farrago cannot even teach his MEPs to fiddle their euro expenses without ending up in jail what does that say for their competence?
Incredible that the left should be drawing attention to the extent of their economic incompetence. At least the gov is attempting to apply the brakes to slow the Juggernaut of debt rather than cramming on the gas towards total financial oblivion.
Just listening to one of my favourite Beatles tunes "Six Days a week ".
If you are a betting man pile in, only be prepared to lose everything. The Euro is doomed, Eurozone governments are collapsing under the realisation of just how huge the hole they are in is. You could piss our entire GDP into it and have no noticable effect whatsoever.
If you want the private sector to get growth going, cut taxes so they having money to spend
Yep, and means the next quarter will probably be worse.
Well done clueless Cameron and his government of chums.
Thank you for explaining what I was also thinking so very clearly. The only thing Osbourne can do is tax and cut harder and deeper. The sooner we swallow the pill, the sooner we will be out of it.
Listen to yourselves…!!!!!
LOL… loving all the Tory Apologists here today
Figures from the Tory Treasury say we are in a double dip recession. Conservative blogger Guido's flock response…it's all the BBC's fault.
Cupid Stunt an open supporter of Murdoch, in cahoots with BskyB to gift them 80% control of all UK media. Conservative blogger Guido's flock response…It's all the BBC's fault
When are you going to learn apologists….. you support a corrupt bunch of arrogant conceited multi millionaire floppy hairs who do not give a toss about anyone…and that includes YOU !!!!!!!
Where can you go when you're 50+ with a few quid, a wife and a small dog and the fucking Government leave you the fuck alone and get off your fucking back and give you a fucking break. Oh and some sun, some rain and space to breathe and stretch your arms out wide. Without a remote chance of listening to Robert Peston.
At last a sensible and useful suggestion. All we need is to find a suitable arse to stick Peston up…….is Pickles around?
Nothing new. The usual corrupt self-serving politicians and a grossly bloated public sector. Sheeple all lazy and obese.
Quite. Actually by 2002 we were in surplus and had started paying down our debt (Labour had initially followed Tory economic strategy). Freed from those contraints, Gordon Brown lost control of the economy the cost of which Britain will be paying for a generation.
The analagy made by one of Guido's co-conspirators, is especially good this morning – Labour are like arsonists criticising the fire brigage. And that's not only true on the economy, but on Leveson, on Europe, on health on education, on defence and on so much more.
What a pile of poo this Government was left with. I wonder whether it would have been better to have allowed Brown to continue as as a minority administration (with the Liberals). And allowed it to collapse. We might have ended up with a majority Conservative government and a different, more robust approach to these ills.
The problem is less the PIIGS and more Longbridge sur mer. Anyone who believes the numbers from France also believes their claim that Sarky is 5ft 7ins.
Thanks I feel so much better having read through all of that.
I now think I need to have a lie down.
Indeed. The problem is not that conservatism has failed. The problem is that conservatism has not been tried yet. The conservatives have continued along the same economic path that labour were going along under Alistair Darling's plan, just with a bit less QE.
We need to try real conservatism. This Blairite bollocks clearly is not working.
As other have, and will continue to state:
1. Get us out of the EU
2. Stop pissing money away on overseas aid
3. Shut the DFiD
4. Scrap the insane climate change act
5. Scrap benefits to bigamists and all their wives
6. Reduce immigration dramatically. Only allow in people who will contribute economically.
5. Give massive tax cuts to exporting businesses.
7. Massive tax incentives to draw inward investment from overseas.
This is not rocket science.
The Government have blamed "difficulties in the Eurozone" for our slipping into recession.
The answer to that is simple. Get us the fuck out of the EU altogether!
Spot on and well said, I also think that they should be hanged after all they have committed treason by giving our sovereignty away to Europe.
It ill becomes a BNP nutter to accuse the BBC lefties of shirt lifting given the record of Mr Sniffin.
@R*AP*E (Oh, I've just got it!)
It's not rev*olution, it's just com*mon se*nse. Which is sadly la*cking in Number 10.
Pupils stand UP! Francis filling UP! Dad's offshore tax evasion UP! Jeremy fucks UP! William and Liam's cocks UP!
Everything's UP! So shut the fuck UP!
Obvious. God has a black sense of humour. How else would you explain George Osborne?
No. We quite clearly blame Gordon Brown. He is the one that fucked the economy. It will take years to get back to supply side growth.
You deny most BBC senior staff are not Common Purpose? Of course you can provide evidence to the contrary can't you? Thought not.
Belize. It works for Lord Cashbox of DeSleaze.
@George Osborne
"make energy fiercely expensive"
Congratulations. Your strategy on reducing carbon emissions seems to be working, and as a result we have not had any Global Warming, and with the upcoming increase in fuel duty I expect will will soon be talking about Global Cooling. Well done George – keep it
Good luck with the Euro rescue!
All the best…
p.s. Do you have any ideas about tackling Global Cooling?
Thank your for your suggestions to David Cameron.
However, we note from our records that you have not paid Dave his quarter of a million pounds 'listening fee'. This fee must be paid before Dave will listen to any of your comments or suggestions.
Please make payment within 48 hours or your comments will be deleted, unread.
Thank you for contacting Dave.
Yeah Gordon that will be right! All that rear entry activity has muddled your BRAIN.
If the government get their hands on the money first the consumer cant spend it on the high street.
The concept of requiring proof of a negative – the last resort of fascists?
Warm for the time of year, don't you think. Global Warming, I expect.
I don't like Tuesdays…
Just another manic Sunday…
Goodbye Ruby Wednesday…
And you would change sides at the first wiff of gun smoke?
Thank you.
I would like to make clear that when I said I regarded you not as a Smallbore but a Bigbore, I was referring to the importance of your comment and not, as I realised with horror afterwards, a reference to the last part of your illustrious moniker. I fully apologise and accept responsibility in the case that anyone was given the wrong impression and am glad to have the opportunity to put matters straight.
The Public Sector gravey train for the suits will not be taken easily. Believe me you will have a fight on your hands. No problem getting rid of the workers and reducing their conditions and wages. BUT NOT THE SUITS. It will take revolution.
Yes – on the day the ballot confirmed drivers had voted to strike – the BBC were all over the story with half-hourly bulletins, talk of shortages and interviews with Unite saying that the strike would affect 80% of filling stations.
The sale of jerry cans had double at one national DIY chain the previous week-end. That was all before the Government said a word.
There's more to come: Unite have used the negotiations to string this out to give them the ability to now call their strike over the Jubilee week-end.
The peudo Bertie Wooster rhetoric combined with the reference to fiddling shopping receipts etc suggests a TV Chef convicted of shoplifting.- A classical thyme warp?
Just another perspective: I left UK in 1968 and on the boat to RSA (Edinburgh Castle) were some ex-union people who told me that the unions were the problem and were breaking industry down. So maybe there were some nice times now and then, but the writing on the wall was visible to skilled workers in 1968.
These idiots called politicians have no idea about the economy, budgets or taxation. They carry on spending to the odious Labour parties spending programme tax us to death whilst at the same time bailing out Bankers, spending more on over seas aid, starting illegal wars and bailing out Europes mickey mouse money and the economies of Europe. I t is time for a sweep out of our politicians and start again. We must always remember that most of these politicians past and present have committed treason aginst this country by selling out and supporting Europe, these need to be brought to justice and the death sentence brought back for this crime, guess who it was that had it taken off, yes Tony Blair.
David "The Cock" Cameron has been caught on tape giving hand relief to Rupert Murdoch, while singing a melody of Kyle Minogue songs, and hoping on one leg. He was also recorded saying """I hate the British people, I think they are scum""………………….Conservative Blogger Guido Fawkes followers have responded stating that it is all the fault of Gordon Brown and the BBC…….etc etc etc
Too right, however They need to STOP employing people in the Phoney WARS. Prohibition of Alcohol and its non taxation and the cash stolen out of the economy was a FACTOR in the USA crash.
They where forced to stop it to get the economy back to work. The UK economy is having Billions stolen out of the economy in the Phoney Drug prohibition. WAR police State apparatus. DONT ADD UP.
Didn't we just chuck yet another 10 billion down the Eurozone crapper, never to be seen again? Is that the same austerity you are on about along with the 'feel proud comrades' DfID billions we are throwing at countries who don't even want it?
The austerity of fuel poverty because 70% of the cost of fuel is tax? The austerity of unaffordable "clean green energy" that is not clean or green but is horrifically expensive and unreliable?
Zombie socialists run the country still, they just have a different brand logo.
That and, in the 60's & 70's, some pretty disastrous management of huge state owned companies – i.e. British Leyland.
Did the two sets of bast.ards (unions and state appointed management) collude to screw up our heritage? I think we should be told.
And shop around, especially for cleaning products and toiletries. eg: 750ml Mr Muscle shower cleaner. £3.20 in Waitrose. £1.49 in an independent store. Same product, 100-and-a-bit percent dearer in a supermarket.
Twenty percent of one percent ain't worth sweating about.
I suppose, though, if we used the screen name "Ed Miliband" and used words like "My life, already" – "Troubles, I've got so many troubles I haven't even used some of them yet" – "Oy Vey" and "SHUSH, Hymie, the fire sale is NEXT week!" we would be accused of stereotyping an ethnicity?
Still, mustn't grumble.
'tis a bit wet down yere. 'ow come I was expected to listen to London Mayors on telly last noight. We 'as our own Mayors shit to listen to. Bloody Londoners.
Ah, I see the establishment trolls are rattled about UKIP and the threat to their cosy EU cocksniffing socialist cartel. Good.
Rounding error. When the real figures come out in a month's time they'll be completely different anyway.
Avoiding Robert Peston is the tough one. I think you should be looking at either Guantánamo Bay or North Korea
I would love to be able to reduce the cost of fuel, but it's quite out of my control.
I would also like to stop and chat about how important austerity is, and the need to crush economic recovery under the jackboot of high taxes, but I've got to pop along to the post office and send today's payment of £50,000,000 to the EU.
Toodle pip!
and despite this, and all the comments, you lot still vote for them! if you vote for any of the 3 major parties then you are endorsing their actions.
So you have no right to moan or place these comments here.
It's your fault for putting your cross against any one of the 3 major parties, you know the ones, the ones the beeb will only report on and give air time to, that is paid for by the us the licence fee payers!
You can accuse me of many things but I didn't actually give Rupert hand relief, I just sucked him off.
did you vote for any of the 3 major parties? then don't moan!
I did suport these
"When are you going to learn apologists….. you support a corrupt bunch of arrogant conceited multi millionaire floppy hairs who do not give a toss about anyone…and that includes YOU !!!!!!!"
but I haven't voted labour since 1997.
"Wednesday's estimate is the first of three by the ONS, and is based on just 40pc of the final data, meaning the figure could be revised up or down in the coming months."
So hands up if you voted for any of the 3 major parties at the last 2 elections?
Then don't blame the politicians, blame your fucking selves, you voted them in!
Don't you ever learn?
Paying for the pensions we once had in over abundant surplus, and then raided by, initially, the Tories, and then used as like a pikey's lottery win by that sniper's dream, Shit.stain Brown.
No wonder we're cattle trucked.
Yep, and straight from the equines entrance, James Lovelock:
Who would have seen that coming – LOL!!!
Benefits scroungers. Abu Qatada's mansion.
.. and you mustn't stereotype ethnicities!
By jove, I love ethnicities. That's why I'm increasing immigration. Because I just love ethnics. The more the merrier, what what?
In fact, I love them almost as much as I love kweers. Lovely rugmunching kweers. How I love them. I want to marry them all.
Toodle pip!
So let me get this straight, you deny that many senior figures at the BBC are Common Purpose graduates yet offer nothing to back up your assertion, except a rather lame and predictable slur.
Given that it is demonstrably provable that many senior figures at the BBC are Common Purpose and have admitted their association with the Marxist organisation, your resort to insult leaves you looking rather a fool, as usual.
I am here today to assure the nation that legislation will soon be in place to enable gay people, and how very joyful and gay they are, to be joined in holy matrimony and to all intents and purposes, married. So you see, there is really nothing to worry about, we are on the job of getting this great nation back on it's feet, and putting the great back into, er, Great Britain.
Admitting to voting for Blair is an admission of total gullibility, when did it dawn on you that you had sucker stamped on your forehead?
"We're just two years older and no further into curing the fucking mess."
Yes, but I have been able to give-away more than £22billion in foreign aid, which I am sure makes you all feel very very proud. Very proud, indeed.
Toodle pip!

I think you'll find the only way to carry on in the horror of war IS to be on drugs, so you have to have a war, on drugs.
If you meant the other thing – MP's are too frightened to speak truth to power, i.e. the electorate – legalise and licence recreational drugs – both supplier and consumer. Tax them, control distribution, treat the addicts and completely f.uck up organised crime. Erm…. that's about it – oh and mandatory sentence of 25 years for supplying or taking controlled substances without a licence. 75 years if coupled with supplying to underage (must be 21 or over to use or legally supply, I'd suggest)
We've tried the other way, may as well shoot for the moon. (Or a vein, if it's your fancy, in the privacy of your home!)
at the same time as you realised that you voted for the libdemconlab parties too!
Hurrah! As we manufacturers have been saying for bloody years, the policy is wrong.
An economy which is 80% services is not sustainable. End of.
Although the spiral of spin is now unwinding, please do not expect manufacturers to suddenly pull the country out of the shit. Expect plenty of media coverage of manufacturers here and there who are doing a little better, but the reality is that this years budget did nothing to incentivise those of us already working in this sector. Project Merlin has now ended – banks are using every spare penny to gamble on commodities, or unwind their derivative positions rather than lend to us on sensible terms.
With the policy already set for the next 12 months, and media attention focussed on Leveson, Sport and Football, sorting out the economy will take a back seat. I await the November pre-budget report with interest
Would these guys be able to help?
Ha Ha, BNP. Nice try – they're socialists for Christs sake.
You'll have to come up with a more original slur in an attempt to censor me.
You really do not like any contrary view to your own do you?
As Cameron and Clegg and other politicians will tell you, Spending money is a great therapy, especially if it is other peoples money.
Not quite true, the Beeb are very happy to quote/interview and otherwise advertise the Greens.
Read their website – which details their policies – pretty unexciting stuff I will admit.
However, we have Cameron, we had Brown, we had Bliar all of which have proved to unmititiged disasters in retrospect. How afraid must we be to try something new, their performance hardly has climb above 'complete shit' to be an immense improvement.
The Beeb think it's the main item of news because they are determined to sink a rival news organisation and they have the advantage of having compulsory contributions. Priority one: destroy Murdoch. Priority two (if that makes sense) destroy any government that isn't Labour.
A lot of commonsense said, however you have to take into consideration the criminal enterprise is the STATE. Afghanistan since NATO invasion is NOW the worlds greatest supplier of Heroin and Cannabis. Follow the DOTS and make up the picture. The State and the Security apparatus aren't going to come out and admit their complicity

"If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally w***ers. Severe onanists. They are tortured. They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them. They are not making it with girls, and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort — which of course is no comfort."

By LARRY VAUGHT
Derek Willis thought he would be at Rupp Arena playing in the state tournament last week. Instead, he had on his Kentucky blue jacket when he accepted his award as the Sixth Region Player of the Year because his Bullitt East team lost to Pleasure Ridge Park in the regional.
""I am very proud of this award. I am just glad I got it," said Willis, a 6-9 forward who signed with Kentucky in November. "It is disappointing to not have made state. Throughout the season, that was my goal over any goal to get back here to Rupp and hopefully have a chance to win it again, but we fell in regionals. It was just unfortunate for us. I'm just looking forward to Kentucky right now and getting my body in shape and just all that."
Willis offered his thoughts on a variety of other subjects during the state tourney interview.
Question: Do you think Madison Central guard Dominique Hawkins is a good enough player to play at Kentucky?
Willis: "Oh yeah, he's a Kentucky kid. He's tough, real tough, real athletic, strong. If we added him to the recruiting class, it would be a good pickup."
Question: Do you plan to wear the Kentucky jacket here today?
Willis: "Oh, yeah, I had to come out in it. It was just good to talk to the fans, talk to the little kids and all that. It has been good today for the brief amount hours I've been here."
Question: What lies ahead in the next few months for you?
Willis: "Just working out. I picked up a little job to try and get as much money as I can to save up for college. That is really about it. Just go to the gym every day."
Question: Where are you working?
Willis: "My girlfriend hooked me up with a job at McAllister's on Bardstown Road 9 (in Fern Creek). So I'll be serving sandwiches to people. Be sure to check them out."
Question: Will you be playing for your coach, Troy Barr, in the Derby Classic in Louisville next month?
Willis: "I will be at the Derby Festival at Freedom Hall. I will be playing in the Kentucky-Indiana all-stars, of course, and Kentucky-Ohio all-star game. I am looking forward to those."
Question: What do you think watching Kentucky finish the season?
Willis: "I didn't know how their season would be. I knew this would be a down year for college basketball. It was just up to them. I don't really want to cover them. They could still click the next day. It could be anything. I hope they finish the season strong."
Question: Did you talk to UK coach John Calipari or assistant Orlando Antigua at the state tourney?
Willis: "I said hi to him and gave him a handshake. That was about it really. Him and Coach O."
Question: Have you been in contact with the other signees, the other commitments?
Willis: "Marcus Lee I to talk to via Twitter. I got to talk to Dakari (Johnson) during College GameDay during the Missouri game. I don't really keep in contact with the (Harrison) twins or James Young. That is the only two I talk to right now."
Question: What do you think about Andrew Wiggins and Julius Randle's decisions?
Willis: "When I put my predictions out there for people coming, they generally do happen. As far as Wiggins goes, I've tried to figure him out. I've read everything about him and looked him up. I don't know. I know UK is one of his top two choices, I would say. As far as Julius Randle goes, in my opinion and this is all based on what I've found, what I've read, I think he will come. As far as Aaron Gordon goes, he's on the West Coast. I don't think he'll come, too far away. That's just my insight."
Question: How much do you read recruiting stuff?
Willis: "I don't read it a lot anymore. I used to read it a lot during the season because people would say, 'Who's this?' and I'd look them up. But as far as recruiting goes, I'll just leave it to the fans and stuff. I just try to deal with myself. But I think Randle is probably a lock. That's my opinion. He could do whatever, but I think he'll come. Wiggins is a toss-up for me. I can't figure it out."
Question: Why do you think Randle is a lock?
Willis: "I think he's a lock, but I wouldn't write that down. Anything could happen, but I think he's a lock."
Question: Are you ready for the huge expectations of next season?
Willis: "Yeah, I'm trying ot get ready for it right now. My body is not in the best shape. I'm trying to get stronger and put some weight on. I'm just looking forward to it. More excitement than anything."
Question: What's your weight now?
Willis: "About 200 or 195. I'd like to be at 220. I think would be good. If more, great, but 220 is what I'm shooting for right now."
Question: Does it motivate you that when people talk about the recruiting class and name names, they kind of just mention your name at the end?
Willis: "I know during the summer I fell off obviously, but then again, we go to Missouri (for a holiday tournament) and we play top 10 player (five-star Arkansas signee) Bobby Portis, and I have a good game and I have a good tournament. Everybody had a good tournament for my team, not just me. And you look at my stat line against a top-10 player. He is a good player; I'm not knocking him. They are all good players out there. I just fell off, and they got more hype than me. … I'm more worried about pleasing coach Cal and the staff and the fans more than anything. I am just worried about that right now."
Question: Is it nice to come in under the radar without huge expectations weighing you down?
Willis: "That's how I wanted it to be. When I first got on the recruiting scene, I was like, 'I don't want to be a top-30 player.' I was grateful to be up there and be thought highly of, but when I fell off, I still had to keep working hard and do the things that top players do."

Medical Marijuana Dispensary Review: Mile High Dispensary in Lakewood
The Cheech and Chong stickers on the windows of the former head shop next door are actually the most pot-related thing about the place. Otherwise, the simple, dark-green "MILE HIGH DISPENSARY" sign with two green crosses is about as low-key as dispensaries get these days.
Of course, at this point, everyone in Colorado knows what discreetly named places with green crosses on their signs really are.
See also: Medical Marijuana Dispensary Review: Personalized Organic Treatments in Denver
Mile High DispensaryInside, the waiting room was clean and empty. Except for the inlaid-tile marijuana leaf in the floor, the shop has a generic casual-commercial feel -- like a real estate agency, a dentist office or an acupuncture clinic. The Grateful Dead piped out from a back room. My budtender was running the shop that day and was in the back, so I waited around for a minute watching a muted rerun of Bewitched on the flat screen before he returned, said hello and asked for my card and ID.1350 South Sheridan Boulevard
Lakewood, CO 80232
303-934-6337Hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Raw marijuana price range: $7/gram $25-$35/eighth-ounce, $140-$160/ounce. Non-members pay about 10 percent more per purchase.
Other types of medicine: Wax, shatter, edibles.
Online menu? No.
Handicap-accessible? Yes.
Recreational sales? No.
Mile High Dispensary's space is tiny, and the bud bar itself is actually a small nook in the back of the lobby. The setup is slightly antiquated, with the patient sitting area directly in front of a glassed-off budtender room, like the visiting area in jail (albeit much, much cleaner and far less institutional-feeling). A small countertop rack with fist-sized glass sample jars sits on the other side of the glass, and patients have to ask to have each jar passed through a small cutout at the bottom of the partition window. It's a secure setup, but since the budtender kept the door between the two areas wide open, it negated the only purpose and wound up feeling cumbersome instead.
The bud on display wasn't anything particularly exciting. Strains were mostly average dispensary offerings like Golden Goat, Bubba Kush and a purple strain here and there for good measure. Everything seemed to be grown well enough, and I didn't see any schwappy shake jars or anything like that. Still, every single jar I popped open (with the exception of the Golden Goat) smelled nearly identical, lacking strain-distinct odors. Waxes and shatters were on sale for $30 and $40 a gram, all produced by either Love's Kitchen or Mahatma. I mostly pass on waxes these days, as the general quality around town is never all that great, and I can't escape the idea of coating my lungs in high levels of vaporized plant wax. De-waxed oils (shatter) are more desirable, and the Mahatma line that Mile High Dispensary had in stock certainly would have sufficed. But I don't really need the extra strength of concentrates right now and have backed off after a few weeks of using them for stomach nastiness so that my tolerance levels would go back to normal.
My budtender was a really friendly guy who looked to be in his mid-twenties, though he didn't have much to offer on the strains other than their price and if they leaned more toward indica or sativa. For the most part, he just let me point at jars and make up my mind on my own. Which was easy to do, considering the mid-level quality of most of the buds on the shelf. Nothing was offensive or even poorly grown, but most flowers had the stereotypically lackluster look and smell of commercially produced weed done with maximum yields and quick turnaround in mind.

Saudi Arabia will implement rules to prevent religious police from chasing individuals, Arab News said, citing Sheikh Abdul Latif al-Asheikh, president of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
The action was taken because of negative public reaction to religious police pursuing individuals, the newspaper cited al- Asheikh as saying.

From the moment you get behind the fat little steering wheel in the Nissan 370Z, there's no mistaking that this car is about performance, not comfort. Once you're underway, the rather raucous engine and the stiff suspension calibration further reinforce the fact that you're in a sports car, which means that ride comfort isn't the car's strong suit, and neither is cargo capacity or outward visibility. Still, in this Touring version of the 370Z, Nissan manages to add a few nice upscale touches. The leather upholstery is very nice to the touch, as are the soft suede inserts on the doors. The door pulls themselves are very well designed (for some reason, I've noticed lately that Nissan does an exceedingly good job on the design of its door pulls). The entertainment system is generic Nissan, but that's OK, as the buttons are big and well labeled. One niggle, the center console only has one cupholder. Perhaps not a high priority for some, but I like to have one cupholder for a water bottle and the other to hold my keys, my parking card, and other assorted items like lip balm and my garage door opener. (Maybe I just need to learn to travel lighter.)
Amy Skogstrom, Managing Editor
My night with a Mazda Miata was followed by several days with the Nissan 370Z Touring coupe, and, ironically, the differences between the two are about as different as night and day. Where the Miata is as adept at being a sports car as it is a casual, Sunday driver, the Nissan 370Z is all sports car, all the time. From the moment you depress the firm, long-travel clutch, the Z demands your full attention; a quality that can be as much a blessing as it is a burden. When the opportunity to have a little fun arises, precise steering, strong brakes, and super-glue-like grip (the Touring coupe is fitted with sticky Bridgestone Potenzas) make the Z incredibly rewarding. In daily driving, though, its stiff chassis, heavy steering, coarse engine, and firm, notchy shifter can be a drag.
The Z is easily Nissan's most attractive vehicle and the pearly white paint on this example, which looks like an upgrade but is a no-cost option, makes it even sexier. As is typical in sleek, low-slung sports cars, the swoopy exterior translates into compromises inside. The interior is tight, storage is almost non-existent save for the small shelf behind the seats, and the ultra-wide C-pillar and relatively small and sharply angled rear glass can make backing out of parking spots a scary endeavor especially when your tucked in amongst bulky SUVs. The hatch definitely increases this cars usability, but not by much. The shallow and weirdly shaped cargo area can make loading your stuff feel like you're playing a game of Tetris.

This question already has an answer here:
- Windows AD Domain naming recommendations 5 answers
It's common convention to name a domain something like companyname.local for internal Active Directory with integrated DNS.
I'm in a situation where the company name has changed and I would like to rename the domian. I'm aware of the difficulty and implications. I would like to rename it from 'abccorporate.local' to just 'xyz'. I can't think of any reason to keep the '.local', is there one?

Still early in the season here, but here's my pic. This is a new garden spot, but the tomatoes seem to be happy because we planted half the plant, only leaving about 5 inches above the ground and they have still put on great growth in no time. Hillbilly, brandywine, yellow brandywine, several different beefsteaks, jersy devil and one grape. Plus we have tons of reseeds in the compost pile, will be interesting to see what they turn out to be. |
Just a couple of Better Bush tomatoes producing right now. Planted last week in April. I have harvested about 24 tomatoes from the one plant so far with at least 30 more coming. Have 3 sort of experimental Dwarf tomato plants just started 6 days ago. Have already grown about 2-3", only supposed to get about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall max height but produce nice large tomatoes. Here are the Dwarfs a few minutes after I transplanted them 6 days ago. |
My tomato plants have become mutants so far! They are almost 6 feet tall and it is only June 14! I have LOTS of green tomatoes, it has been comfortable here in NC, not too hot and lots of rain! It has made for great growing conditions, now we need it to warm up so they can ripen up! |

World, no, you don't see a picture thread here in this GEneral Disussion Forum b'c if you look at the top of the page next to on topic Forums, you'll see the word Gallery, which is an Image Gallery for anyone who wants to post pictures of their plants. However, I just took a look myself and it seems as though it's not much used b'c folks don't go there to post their pictures I suppose b'c they don't know about it. So go for it. LOL Carolyn |

natal, Once again, your photography knocks my socks off! Your first photo looks like a Thomas Kinkade watercolor. My garden this year in San Jose is doing pretty well: I'm growing 8 Dwarf Project plants which I'm really impressed with: Tastywine and Caitydid in these two containers. And the sweetcorn is coming along as well: Raybo |
Unfortunately my tomatoes look like this. Long story. Turns out to be herbicide contamination from ditch hay through horses. |
My purple tomato plants (seeds from Ebay)! I live in Mexico in the Chihuahua Desert zone, and i'm impressed they are doing so well in this hot temperatures! I'll post pics off my other varieties tomorrow! Right now there are 16 or 17 tomatoes in the plant, and I already harvested 6! |
sorry here's the picture |
Oh wow. I have major envy of you Z7 and Z8 gardeners. My stupice tomato has two teeeeeny fruits going on it already and I was just bursting with pride :) Will post pictures tomorrow. My stupice and Black from Tula both very robust, doing well and growing fast. Green Zebra also doing well. Yellow pear less impressive, and the Brandywine looks like it is on death's doorstep. I'm starting to think that tomato is too much trouble to be worth growing. |

The really tall ones are the volunteers. The shorter ones are St. Pierre. I am so happy I learned about the Florida weave. next year I will try to get taller posts, but free is free. |
These pictures are from Jun 22, but I don't think it matters all that much. Some tomatoes you see will already be eaten! Most are bigger now too. First though, some overall shots of the plot taken today. The cages are 6 feet tall. Overall shot Right side Left side Big Boy Black from Tula Sudduth Brandywine Cherokee Purple Dona Kellogs Breakfast Lemon Boy Momotaro |
Everyone's tomatoes look great - well except that one with herbacide contamination.....so sorry to hear that. How does it happen? Was it wind drifted in? qaguy, I like the looks of the pvc cages, how deep into the ground is the pipe pushed? Thanks. |
marymcp - the cages are 12 inches deep in the ground and 18 inches above. It's a 30 inch piece of PVC. While I don't do it, you can also just drive some rebar And if you don't like white, there's plastic paint in If you're interested in details about the cages, follow |

7 Wk. Black from Tula.... I'm counting on these being my early fall plantings,but hopefully picking before October. I tried to post on tomato gallery, but kept getting failed to upload.. |
Not as big as some others, but since I just got them transplanted about a month ago I don't think they're doing too badly - esp. considering the lack of rain. I was "dry farming" these but have ended up hauling water (up to 1/2 gal per plant) 5 times when the temps were around 90 for days. My first Brandywine - black spot where it got against remesh but doesn't seem to be rotting. Insect damage as well? This one is for me, not for market anyway. Cherokee Purples Insect damage or catfacing? In the same garden (my nightshade garden!) I have potatoes and peppers |
Finally decided to stake (weave) them - 3 posts set in triangle. I don't know if I can get in there and prune, but no signs of any disease so far (it's been dry). These have never been watered. German Johnson (from last year's plants uphill that drowned in Irene) or something the chickens ate? Can't wait to taste them - hope they're good and not some yucky hybrid (either from 2nd gen seed or natural)! |
Well my 2 Better Bush are on their way out now. this is almost 5 weeks after my other post on this thread. In the past 4 days I have harvested 37 tomatoes from both plants, 16 this morning, in the past 5 weeks somewhere around 75-80 plus the 24 prior to that so over 100 and have probably about 30+ more coming in the next 2 weeks. That also doesn't count the 12-15 eaten by Ecoterrorist/Squirrels. Not too bad for 2 Bush tomato plants in containers. Now the 3 Dwarfs are going to have to take over. Here is what they look like 5 weeks later, 6 weeks after planting. |

30 Plants put in May 12, I am picking 25-40 ripe ones every day. Canned the first bushel yesterday and plan to can weekly for the next month or so. Today I picked 39 so it should be a good week. These are better boys and early girls. |

Well, you did state 2012 so here's a picture of the last maters I picked 1/28 from my 10 Beefmaster fall 2011 plants. I didn't take any pictures of the spring harvest :-( Resting for the summer now here in Zone 10 while the rest of you bask in the sun...I'll start seed next week for a 9/15 set. Tom |

Hey nice pics everyone! This is a cherry tomato. I know it could of used a larger container. Still a nice looking plant though. |
A bushel at once off 30 plants? Wow, am I in for it! I have staggered varieties and I got mine in almost a month later than you, but I've got 30 BWs alone (those were staggered too - planted 14 and then planted 16 more "leftovers" just a couple weeks ago but they're already flowering)! I've got about 150 plants total - about 11 Gardener's Delight cherries (meant to plant 12 but looks like 1 is a Bloody Butcher that snuck into the 6-pack by mistake) which I'm going to draft the kids to pick, roughly 20 BB (7 leftovers just starting to flower, the rest have fruit), 13 Glacier, 8-9 Speckled Romans (have 2 fruit!), 4 SuperSweet 100 (leftovers planted late - not flowering yet) and the rest BW, BK, CP and 1 Big Rainbow. |

Tom, my jaw dropped when I saw the picture of all those beefmaster tomatoes. I am encouraged as I planted beefmaster for the first time this year and just picked my first two ripe ones. I have more ripening and lots and lots of green fruit. They seem to get a nice big size. I only have 6 Beefmaster plants though. |

I'm Zone 10, high humidity and 10 feet from water so I need a hybrid that can handle my extremely buggy disease infested environment, after years of trial Beefmaster has become my only beefsteak for the last five years. For me it's an all-around workhorse with superb taste. Tom |

My tomato jungle. Some cages fell over after a July 1 storm; 10 more fell the other night in 70mph winds. Even the ones in the new 48"-tall galvanized $10 square cages. Good news is, plants have survived. Been picking Beam's Yellow Pears and Sweetie cherry for a couple days, looks like a Convaluto San Genovese may be ready tomorrow or day after. Also planted San Marzano paste. |

I just went and picked three quarts of tomatoes from the JULIET plants. I know I have three quarts as I used those plastic quart containers you get from the deli or chinese food in. I had them stuffed over the top. Can't believe how many tomatoes the Juliets produce. Just fabulous. |
I have been fortunate with my tomatoes this year. In this photo, Early Girl, Celebrity, and Neves Azorean Red. |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6b/7a LI NY (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 12 at 17:07
Those look yummy. Which is the Neves Azorean Red? That is a variety I have heard about on the forum here but not familiar with. |
The Neves Azorean Red are the larger tomatoes in the upper left. They are very good....a lot of meat. |

I've been having a great year here in zone 4 (Twin Cities). I've been harvesting for over a month and getting great results. I think I've only had to water six times this season. This is what I picked today. Sun Gold, Golden Sweet, Sweet Million, Black Plum, Jaune Flamme, Golden Queen, Lemon Boy, Opalka, Italian Red Pear, Brandywine, Carbon, Chocolate Cherry, Speckled Roman, Pomodoro Marmande, Glacier, San Marzano. |

I live in Chicago and have a 4x6' plot in a neighborhood community garden. I'm growing Black Krims, Green Zebras, Sweet 100's, Boxcar Willie and some yellow cherry tomatoes. I've only been harvesting for the last week or so but I've already harvested 16lbs :) I've really enjoyed checking out everyone's photos. I can't believe how healthy some of your plants look. Most of mine are crispy brown, despite me watering at least every second day. They're still producing though, so I'm grateful for that |
Brandywine Suddeth just shy of 1.5 pounds. Oddly one of my best plants this year with approx 20 tomatoes all 1 pound +. |

I feel like a piker after looking at all those great tomatoes, we don't get enough heat during the summer to ripen beefsteak types and not much production from most heirlooms. These are Jet Stars, they do pretty well for us. |

Barnhart, your picture of Red Boar caused me to do a search for it on the web. I stumbled upon the website for Wild Boar Farms. I have seen some of these varieties listed at Heritage Seed but not all of them. In fact until I stumbled upon their own website I didn't know there were more to be had. What fabulous looking tomatoes. I am going to have to have many of these for myself next spring! And so beautuful on top of everything else. Wow! |

Bet these will make fabulous sauce and salsa. Have to get some pictures soon. I never wanted to eat Romas fresh but the Vivia Italias taste so much better than those old Romas used to. |

I don't know how I missed it before. Crazy Old Goose, Your gardening beverage is the BEAST? LOL I thought only teenagers drank that stuff. Edweather - I had the basket of Choc Stripes a little up the thread and I think they taste very good. A little bit rich and deep. Not a top of the palate zing like some of the higher acids tomatoes I have tried this year. Hard to describe really but Pretty big flavor, it's just mellow at the same time. It kind of just saturates you with flavor instead of punching you in the face with it. I'm also in Upstate NY and they in particular produced great for me. They are my largest plants other than sungold and the heaviest producers as well. If you ever come through Utica area look me up and you can try some in person. CH |
edweather, On the picture it is not Chocolate Stripe , it is Black & Red Boar. It tastes really good and also productive too. |

Hi Daniel, I am growing, in close proximity to the tomato plants, dill and Bishop's lace. When those flower, the tiny flowers attract parasitic wasps that parasitize the aphids lurking on the tomatoes. This has worked well for me: minimal aphids this year, no spraying needed. Other plants include basil and cilantro which, when allowed to bolt, attract beneficial insects. Parsley serves as haven for the lacewing bug, which is an aphid predator in its larval form. This is a work in progress. I have been educating myself over the past few years--attending lectures in my area, and googling ad nauseum the topic of "Attracting Beneficial Insects to the Garden." I have slowly begun to see some improvements. I am aware that one can also use the "Browse" feature to upload photo file from one's hard drive, however, I would rather go the image hosting service route (Photobucket in my case). Jane |
I use ImageShack which gives me 4-5 options of codes. I don,t know about Photobucket, but most likely it also gives you different options of codes. Copy and paste ALL those codes and see which one works. |
