I should have learnt after Braveheart, but the Patriot was shown on a plane, so I was a captive viewer!!!!

If people are hard up and saving money because of the credit crunch, what things have you or others cut back on?

The price of real parmasan cheese has gone up (not the powder stuff in a tube that smells of feet) so we might have to cut back on our pasta dishes... mad
Saffron is a bit pricey too, so it may just be ordinary mash spuds from now on. :P

If that results in more money going back to nepal, all well and good -- hopefully it would buy more cattle or a tractor or dig an extra well !!

True, but it doesn't work like that.....
Once a village has x amount of extra money, everything goes up in price to keep the villages in the correct place economically...
So if the next village doesn't have the x amount of extra money, how do they afford the essentials that have now gone up in price?
If the villagers no longer need to work as they have loads of money, who will grow the crops? Unfortunately it isn't an easy "one size fits all" solution. Whatever the outcome, either innocent villagers or honourable Gurkhas are going to feel some pain because of this.
The problem has an Historic background.
In the past, the small percent that were recruited into the HM Armed Forces from the Gurung area of Nepal often returned home after their service to the Colours. Therefore their pension and pay was in keeping with the financial boundaries of Nepal. If a Gurkha returned home with the same pay and pension of a British soldier, he would be earning more than any other person in Nepal!
So what?
Well, the village he is from would now have more money than some of the businesses in the towns, and the whole economy would go tits up.
But now they can stay in UK, the balance needs to be readdressed, and equal pay, pension and rights are just. But for those who return home to their families, they will be unwittingly screwing up their own economy.
So the UK is indirectly responsible for screwing up the livelihoods of Nepalese farmers, etc.. from the villages, as the inflation in the towns and cities goes up to meet the extra money the village (ex Gurkha farmers have now got!)
I for one, have no problem with them having equal pay, pensions, and rights as the British tom who serves next to him. However, I do wonder about this equality being so damaging to a population so far away also.....
PS, having been to Nepal, they are very humble but proud people and it is difficult to balance both sides of the argument. One side is going to get screwed up!
dunno

My tip is: don't joke about religion. You never know who you might offend. Oh wait - that's another thread.

Our tip is:
If you're an all powerful omnipresent deity, don't give your creations the ability to make jokes unless you have a sense of humour, because they may mock your policies worship :rascal:
Aliens:
Ripley: "*Hudson!* This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.
Hudson: "Why don't you put her in charge?"
A few good men:
Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

It's a simple fact that "management reserves the right..." suffices.
Any private company has the legal right to deny access to their facilities for any reason they feel is appropriate.

So management can discriminate based on the actions of just a few...
OK, no Blacks, cos in the past a black man robbed them!
Or no Muslims, because in the past they have blown things up, or have a habit of crashing aircraft into the upper floors of the building.
I'm sure if that was their defence a court appearance wouldn't be far way!
What a load of Bo11ox.
All this crap about squaddies are twats in groups etc..
It is simple. If he was a twat, ban him. If he (an individual, a citizen of this country, a bloke of x age) has not done anything wrong, then the establishment can't ban him for just his occupation!
I remember pubs that used to have signs up saying no squaddies, but that is illegal now. The crap about Harrods etc is fine. They have a set of rules for entry, and if you don't meet them then no entry. But the rules are based on legal considerations in sympathy with the establishment, e.g. a dress code, ect..
Now if this bloke tried to go in a hotel and break their rules, then fine. But I can’t remember any hotel publishing that if you wear green for a living you can be treated like a second class citizen.
As for his ID card, it is common practice to use it for IDENTIFICATION and yes, also to get a discount, as many chains offer servicemen a bit off. If he tried his luck, so what? This country is out to rip everyone off anyway, why not try to get a tenner knocked off.
Im sorry to rant on, but it pisses me off that people can try to justify blatant discrimination.
confused
Glad this thread is still going strong smile
Here is another from the only day of sun shine we seem to have had this rubbish summer!
I laugh at anything that is funny.
Some of us in certain lines of work, use black humour to get through life. This is usually offensive, tasteless, crude, and politically incorrect. It is usually always very funny too....
Sometimes I look at the state of this country, and feel that even bad taste jokes can raise a smile. Sometimes it is a case of laugh or cry, and I know what I would rather do.
Hi, are there any cpls going this Saturday?
We were thinking of taking the plunge and heading over, but don't want to feel out of place as we don't know anybody...
lol
Nice mate. Not bad for a first shot with the 40D. What lens are you using BTW, and I hope you didn't cheat and use the scene modes! smackbottom
Some advice I was given when I was younger.
"Regret the things you have done, not the things you have not!"
Now I take the knock backs in my stride. Yet before I was nervous of rejection, and probably missed many an opportunity in my life, and not just when it comes to sex!
Live your life, it's not a rehearsal!
Just watched my first one last night, about some bloke shot by a bow and arrow by a swimmer or something. What struck me was how poor the plot was, how over the top the technobabble was, and how unrealistic the technology was! I couldn't work out if it was supposed to be an MTV video without the music, a pastiche on Miami Vice with no content, or a comedy without canned laughter.
It seemed to be all style and no substance (even the style was suspect). :sleeping:
Even the nice colours, glossy photography and gorgeous chicks couldn't hold my attention. It's a shame as the yanks usually do this sort of stuff well. There was just no suspense!
Sorry, but if the CSI Miami that I saw last night is a fair representation of the show then no thanks!
It is not a patch on Bones!!!

Did you do that? worship

Ahh, the power of Photoshop lol
Come on Dark Jedi....
You have had that 40D for a few days now, and the bad weather is no excuse!! smackbottom
Lets see some shots taken with the new toy lol :lol: :lol:
Quote by DarkJedi
I decided to go for the 40D as well in the end as I prefer the more solid construction of the body over the 450D which has very favourable reviews but is constructed of plastic.
cool

The 40D is a very good camera, in fact I would say the best non pro model you can get.
I have the older 30D, but it is still a damn fine body. In fact the only thing I wish mine had was a sensor cleaner evil
So many people get hung up on mega pixels (the camera version of penis size) yet no nothing of how to get a good shot. A decent write speed, some fast FPS, a good iso range, and most of all, a comfortable camera you feel happy with, and some decent glass and a good eye is all you need....
rolleyes
Err, I've just re-read that, it's quite a bit... Still good choice sir...
Yep, sexy as hell to a pocket rocket owner :P
Here is another early morning shot.
Where I was the only thing to "rise" that morning redface

If anyone here want's to colaborate on any photo projects, let us know... A sort of swingers photo club lol
Quote by DarkJedi
Suffolk-cpl ... that's a beautiful shot.

Thanks very much :thrilled:
But I think it's the bee who should be thanked for being brave enough to ignore my lens and carry on with the busy life of pollinating our plants :P
Great selective focus on the stamen of the flower Winchwench lol
Glad this thread is still alive biggrin
Was bored this weekend, so got out snapping. We were not the only ones enjoying the sun...
Now an "arty" one redface
This was shot in a bedroom using just natural light, a DSLR and a bit of imagination, not to mention a patient model who was less interested in haveing her photo taken as, well im sure you can guess hump ...
Thank you all for your kind comments biggrin :D :D
Taking that as a sign of encouragement, here are a few more :P
Some of your work is outstanding, and we just LOVE the firework picture. Never been able to get good firework shots myself confused
