Bloody Chinese - coming over here taking over our language...

Bloody Romanians, coming over here taking our schools! ?

Well, let's see if you change you tune after you've read it! That was quick (from mail in, to delivered, not so much the getting it IN the mail!! )

genuinely funny - but there are several underlying issues to the story. On the the one hand, it’s an example of free spirit enterprise, but on the other, the issues of 3PL inadequacies impacting on brand reputation is a lesson to all retailers! Interesting expose on LBC yesterday exploring the impact upon the 0hrs workers left without income due to franchise owners closing shop because of no supplies from the depot.

Finished off the Tae Kwondo session with this little teaser last night: Starts off OK but boy does it burn!

Peach ootside? That's brave....

That was a good read

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5412041/Father-blasts-council-witch-hunt-cuts-tree.html Just saying.... No evidence offered by the prosecution.... Mmmmmm....

Figured that Ti ??

It's a sign of your age Ti! Those above a certain age threshold tend to hold a rose-coloured glasses view of military National Service. It was a means to an end in and of it's day - Lions, Donkeys and Dinosaurs, massed ranks of blindly obedient lemming emerging from the trenches with bolt action Lee-Enfield rifles... Its not a scenario that has any realistic useful output in this day and age...

There's no place in a modern (streamlined) professional military for taking up the slack of society... Sweden maintains a national reserve in the face of the historic Soviet invasion threat and Israel has an omni-present threat from all corners of its borders. They are both very distinct and different reasons for their situations. There is insufficient capacity, nor is it the role of a modern military force, to babysit the elements of UK society that struggle to breath and tie shoe laces at the same time!

to add.... Whilst the ruling elite (in a socialist system) pamper themselves at the cost of the proletariat.... There isn't a single example where this is not verifiable fact.

Can't quite make out if you're running a flag up in favour or against.....? I could become a work shy (er,er,er) scrounger with this system.... What's not to like??

Not so much being bothered, as having the time at the moment. Are you suggesting that 'universal' means 'universal?' That would be to say EVERY country adopts an identical 'universal' system? Anything other than that would create unacceptable (on many levels) pull & push factors which would be disastrous for all effected... Let's not leave the obvious off the table in favour of promoting a system for systems sake.....

Very ‘watchable’ Mark, I hold his views in very high regard. Must get on and read the book that was a Christmas present. Bankruptocracy.... liked that! The single issue that stands to completely derail the theory of universal income, and without wanting to silo the conversation, whilst simultaneously wondering if his Left of centre position is the reason he COMLETELY avoided what was, to me, the hairy mamouth in the phone box, is immigration control. He’s too smart to have ‘overlooked’ the issue which kind of devalues his output, so far as I’m concerned, and like I say, I am a genuine fan. For example, Country A has universal income, country B is a retarded economy with corrupt government and abject poverty.... Hows that gonna play out? Like he said, got to overcome preconceived ideas and not leave anything off the table, but then, by omission, he contradicts himself!

Can't remember if it was on this thread - amongst the ideological, theological, pathological, psychotic, political, social, economic, moral, environmental and just plain mental rantings of the massive..... Universal Basic Income....? Hadn't heard of it before it was mentioned on here then a day or 2 after, it was on the news about the RSA having presented some study findings and here they are: https://www.thersa.org/action-and-research/rsa-projects/economy-enterprise-manufacturing-folder/basic-income An interesting prospect....

Got the FF, but always lacked the 'style!' More 'near death' than exciting was the first fuselage climb-out jump in Cyprus with a near wing strike in the AM followed by a dive on the MS Zenobia where time / depth / cylinder contents were a little messed up resulting in too little decomp.... Went on the lash after that, it seemed a whole lot safer to get loaded and have punch up....

"Young Offenders" on iplayer - granted, not so much a comedy as a parody of the dreadful state of reality.... Raised a giggle or 2. https://youtu.be/b1FRCoDy5mw

Bad news Mr E. I can help wondering if 17 in 1 sitting is badder or less badder than tens of thousands of deaths and injuries annually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States (still not mailed, will get wife to wrap and post, she's less busierer than me)

Yeah! Get a room you 2!! You'll taking up bandwidth that could be much better exploited by pitch fork wielding firebrands.....

Ummmm... Sally Army. UK ROI HQ listed as (image 1) Building looks like (image 2) What about this bad boy in the City? (image 3) some serious real estate going on there for a "charity." Some BS overheads going on there....

Almost lost my Sauvignon Blanc through nasal passages at the "Oh my God" exclam... Pythonesque comedy! The prospect of continuing to pump billions £s into systemically, inherently, culturally corrupt nations is the work of the certifiably insane. To suggest it may take decades to fix (and that patience might be the key) is to ignore the inevitable, inexorable slash & burn and resultant desertification which is compounding the situation quicker than any £s can keep up. Without addressing the potential for the mass evacuation of areas that do not have the capacity to sustain human life (and the population growth which is accelerated by infant mortality rates and then further compounded by religious objection to birth control) is to bury ones head in the ever expanding sand...

It's gotta be done.....

Try flipping the telescope.... Get a sustainable management plan, apply for a licence, harvest timber, replant and continue the cycle.... (you'll probably even find some free money floating around to help....) So far as I'm aware, a FL doesn't specify WHO does the harvesting OR what happens to the timber after harvesting. I'm just hoping this isn't a "poor farmer burdened by red-tape and profit restricted by insufficient grant funding" type thread... Otherwise I'll probably end up being a whining member of the general business community that receives NO beneficial trading advantages struggling to understand why the agriculture sector, despite having the most favourable trading conditions imaginable, still manages to moan more than anyone else.... And that would be tragedy....
