n there was me thinkin as a site mod u was supposed to remain impartial ....dave notts u surprise me ..you seem to want to carry this on..like I Said it was a mere observation
So make your observation and move on !!!
You didn`t even bother to acknowledge the thread starter ....
If you have an issue, why hijack a newcomers thread ?
I don't even think the newcomer has even noticed he has caused a stir
BTW if you come back hamma welcome to the forums I echo what others have said, something on your profile is always a good start.
I like Charles, I think he is very in touch with this country after seeing and reading about the work of the princes trust. He set up this trust and uses his position to get local businesses to invest in people in poorer communities. He isn’t a man out of touch but I think a very caring man that is so misunderstood. I would like to see him as King I think he has waited long enough and should have his time. If he wanted to hand it to William I would respect that but not to give him his chance I think would be very unfair.
On a more serious note I do think to save these forums they should all be merged.
They are starting to look a little lifeless and uncared for and just there. When I first started to use the forums they were lively, many a day you had to go to page two of the “Cafe” to see responses to posts people had made that day.
New threads were in abundance, today I looked and the “cafe responses on page 1 go back 10 days. It makes all the forums feel nobody really cares anymore if they are here or not.
I know the reasons they were split but I don’t really think it has made a difference you will always get people stepping out of line. I also think having them together they will be easier to moderate, sometimes even the regular posters used to try and turn a thread back on track or crack a joke.
The old forums were a mixed bad of the whole community here, good or bad so I would like to see that returned.

I don't condone violence, even if it is directed against the Tories.
And, yes the violence today has distracted from the real cause, and has given the real cause a negative slant that we did not want.
However, I want to just reply to this point, if I may.
As an ordinary tax payer I do not wish to pay for higher education. If you wish to go on to higher education you will have to pay for it, sounds far to me.
So, as an ordinary tax payer, you do not wish to benefit from higher education?
If so, when you are ill you do not wish to be treated by medical professionals who have received university education?
You do not wish your children to be taught by teaching professionals who have received a university education?
You do not wish to be protected by people in the police and legal institutions who have received a university education?
You do not wish to benefit from research and technological advances from those who have received a university education?
I could go on, but I think I have made my point.
Modern society cannot exist without higher education. We all, in modern society, benefit from those who have been to university. Every day. We may not realise it but we do. As tax payers, we should pay for services that benefit society - that includes the education necessary to keep society running.
And it must be remembered that not everyone who gets a degree is highly paid yet who benefit society greatly.
That is all.
Blue whilst I see your point to a degree, most of the professions you have mentioned are public sector workers which are then paid by the tax payers, although provide a good service will not get the UK out of the problems it is in.
For that we have to look at the private sector and businesses for employment.
Let’s not forget that some of the largest UK business men have not had a higher education that has been funded by Tax Payers.
Nurture & Nature is always an interesting debate like Will and lost I too have twins, when they were born I was asked to join a study looking at nurture and nature which they have been part of for 14 years now "twins early development study" know as TEDS and their findings can be found
I have three children and I have never believed we can bring them up the same, or treat them the same, as every child is unique and has their own levels of needs and understanding.
Going back to lost's original post, we should gather our own information and make an informed choice about our own lives, and if you enjoy meat, eat it nobody shouldn't say otherwise.
If we all turned veggie we couldn't grow enough to supply everyone's needs
BTW just a thought there are a lot of couples on here I have spoken to in the past few years that are parents of twins are we all destine to become swingers?

After having a discussion with my hubby about yesterday it occurred to me that one of our differences are the expectations we have of others, this could relate to all situations within life.
I don’t have expectations of others only of myself and my expectations of myself I set high standards for, and don’t like to fail in things I set for myself but if I do I take full responsibility of my own failings.
My hubby has a level of expectations for others, and often gets disappointed when they don’t live up to his expectations.
I believe by expecting others to live up to your expectations is passing the responsibility onto them.
Do people have too many expectations of others?
I believe in having this can only lead to frustrations and disappointments in others

In a lot of the threads in here there are claim and counter claim about how much the previous Labour Gov. spent, or overspent, and the resulting huge dept now owed by this Country.
So a couple of questions, hopefully some clever people on here can answer them;
1, If this Country and most of Europe and America have such huge debts, who was rich enough to lend us / them those massive amounts of money.
2, How big would the UK debt have been / what would be the state of the nations finances, if the banking crisis hadn't happened. ie if the bankers had got it right instead of getting it wrong and needing umpteen billions to bail them out.
John
There was never a pile of money as in notes, it is all figures as in debits and credits
Look towards the middle east and china and you may have your answer.
I'm curious to know if you can qualify your statement, without quoting a paper as source!
I have never quoted a paper as source of what I write. If you look at my next post I think I explained all there.
BTW I am not a Economist either.

I had to go to my local hospital in the early ours of last Friday morning. I arrived at roughly am and left at
In that time I was charged 4 quid to park. 4 quid when there was hardly a car in the car park at that time in the morning.
How on earth can they justify charges that high? It is NOT a private hospital but an NHS one, one that has a A and E too.
The only people who go there are the sick, or people visiting the sick, or people taking sick people there. So it is a tax on the sick.
I do not mind a token amount to park but 2 quid for the first hour, and a quid for EVERY hour after that up to a maximum of ten quid, is greed personified.
Why are even hospitals jumping on the gravy train of greed? It is also a tax on the poor as I am sure there are many people who use that hospital, who are on genuine benefits. Day patient appointments for all sorts of illnesses, are not exempt from these greedy people who decide what the charges will be.
A patient on invalidity benefit for many genuine reasons, could be there as a day patient for five hours, and be charged six quid.
Greed even in hospitals...............2010 style.
There is a blue badge scheme in place for such people my dad had one but never owed a car but could be used on a car that he used for transport as in a family member etc. The hosptial also lay on transport to get people to and from appointments too.

the first question is extremely relevent, the second is superfluous. the money/credit, never existed. it was created out of thin air. research money as debt.
i wish to change your question a little if i may be so rude.
1, if this country, most of europe, latin america, japan, africa and north america have such huge debts and governments can get central banks to PRINT money (inflation of the money supply), then who the phuck do we owe it to ? its a fuckin scam !
The debt is real it was all issued in Uk Bonds which are held mostly in the Middle East and China and by institutions in the UK.
We could just print more money but it would cause massive inflation because the pound would collapse.
The interest alone on the bonds means the treasury have to issue more bonds just the pay this.
The risk is people would stop buying UK Bonds and where would we get any money then?
This almost happened under Labour as the bonds were going to be downgraded, this is what happened in Greece and look at the state they are in.
So there are two solutions
1. payoff the debt creating more deposite and risk inflation
2. A mix of cutting spending, raising taxes to pay it off over many years.
Either way = PAYING

Have many of them actually had a PROPER job, outside of politics?
It seems that many MP,s would not know a proper job if it bit them up the arse.
Also I always thought that Labour were always against Grammar school system? Funny how many of these New Labour MP's were actually at the very Grammar schools their own party tried to abolish.
Are the Labour party still opposed to elitest schools, and if so have they actually told their MP's this, the ones that went to those elitest schools?
Fecking two faced hypocritical toss bags .
At least the Toties make no secret of the fact they are toffs, unlike the Labour peeps who think it is fine to send your child to a top Catholic school, like the one Blair used, even though you do not believe in the beliefs of the Catholic church...another hypocrite!
Stand up Nick Clegg!
Hmmmmm Has Nick crossed the floor of the House then kenty?
IMHO, even though he is agnostic, his wife who is Spanish is a Catholic and I think it is right and proper that kids should be allowed to make their own informed decision after they have had experience of the wider world, just than accept matters for what they are - often just foisted on them. I have no difficulty with the Clegg's decision to be honest - even being agnostic as I am.
We are both agnostic and sent all our children to a church primary school, we even told the head at the time what our beliefs were, and they were all accepted.
We felt, we wanted our children to believe what they want to believe and we shall accept their beliefs.
I don't see that as wrong at all, some might though.

Not superstitious at all, My friend also does the magpie chantI personally don't understand any of it
Along with tea leaves readings, My tea leaves tell me to wash the cup
Or buy tea bags.
Sure the answers to all of these are Google friendly. I tend not to put shoes on the table and thats an easy one that relates to being hanged.
Isn't that just new shoes?
So isn't putting old shoes on the table seen to be ok?
BTW I wouldn't put either on the table but if I had to choose would rather new ones than old

Just because they might have got it wrong once nobody is allowed mistakes?
It devalues the efforts of people in the past too, for work they have achieved.
If you found out more about the work Desmond Tutu has done over the years it is not dissimilar to what Martin Luther King achieved be if different countries.
So the fact you dismissed one and praised another I think is showing how misinformed you can be sometimes.
I have really missed your taking things out of context Minxy, whilst you have been on yet another flounce!
IF you would have done your homework a bit better, you would have seen that another great man I said Flemming was also a Nobel Prize winner. So that is two out of the four links, and seeing as it was not around when Jesus was born, you can really say two out of three.....did you not think I had noticed that Minxy?
I was more talking about recent winners, but like everything on here you have to be so precise in what you say, and how you say it!
I guess by not arguing the point of the people I gave as examples, you think they were men that changed mankind?
If you search there are plenty of men that have changed the way we do things and see things, in the world.
Not many women I can think of though....
Hold on what about Florrie...she was good for a few bandages eh? :giggle:
Simply for the record it is obvious that you can be a great man and win the Nobel prize, and you can also be a tosser who has done nothing, and win it. That to me devalues it for the greats who have won it.....but for me it is still bollocks.
A great man is a great man, and you do not have to be a prize winner to achieve greatness. Fellow man will judge those on their tasks towards fellow man themselves, and make their own judgments.
I don't flounce anywhere near as much as you rant just for the sake of it :P
The problem is when you rant it is hard to make sense of your points, when you make your point at times I agree and so would others I bet.
When you rant there seems no logic, so as I said before, I am just clarifing some of your unlogical rants into a logalical answers then I can either agree or beg to differ
BTW I did only say sometimes I agree, so don't get to excited.
I bet you are so pleased I am back

That's what she seems to believe. She says some sort of greeting to it. I've seen lots of lone magpies and never had sorrow from it though, or joy from a pair for that matter.
Maybe from this
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a story never to be told
Eight for Heaven
Nine for Hell
Ten for the Devil himself
The theme song from magpie
