Who says we are happy with that? I certainly am not happy that my lowest paid friends pay for being diagnosed with an illness which might be keeping them off work. many already struggle when ill as more and more companies do not offer decent sick pay. Whereas well paid people are getting medices at a relative snip. And it is immoral, I want my taxes paying towrds helping those less fortunate than me. Back to the family allowance discussion. We need to also remember that women are still paid less than men on average, that in itself convinces me that the current system helps redress the balance a little. In fact I would like to the allowance increased.

Agree, one of the best and nicest men I ever saw. Never got what was funny about him until the other night, watched Lee Evans and realised that he is trying to be a modern day Norman Wisdom, and failing miserably. Goood on ya Norman, I was in your home town last week, lovely place, you must be proud. God bless

You cannnot 'renew' waves and wind etc, the sources that you are referring to are simple energy exchanges. Wherever our energy come from they will make us pay through the nose for it and basically the owners of these companies have us over a barrel. And they are in cohorts with the bankers making us their slaves. capitalism does not work, we are living proof of that imho.

kadeem

define 'renewable energy' to me please someone

Landy, where are you when we need you?

and to clarify myself, RL never attended a police station last year and no-one got a kebab thrown at them by a saints player and david Speedie never had a scrap in a channel island hotel and no girl ever got assaulted many years ago ona pre-season trip to Denmark (or whatever country it didn't happen in). Yep, I am definitley living in the past if I thought that those instances ever took place.

Did the club not try to approach the girl involved? I'm not saying that they did, I am merely asking. If not then I would agree that that disproves my point, apologies.

you would give up having hot water come out of your taps. good luck with that my friend. i'll decline if you don't mind. maybe that is where the mods have gone, gone to save the planet.

it sounded rehearsed if you ask me. he basically said, no comment. what he did say was that he was still under contract to the club, that is interesting is it not?

never mind him, we got a witch-hunt going down and our striker is the witch. This will never be confirmed in a court of law as football clubs ALWAYS do deals out of court and very speedily. Money will change hands no matter what the club decide to do internally. Or maybe Cortese doesn't work like that, maybe he'll say tough, you are on your own. Fear not the club's lawyers are already on the case. I may or may not be ITK

**** me! He is ****ing hard isn't he. Allegedly of course. I thought that Chaplow was our hard man.

That was not a nice thing to do. I aprticulary liked this reply " Hi Im sahira, i have had a phobia of bananas for many years now! I get bullied at work all the time, they leave bananas on my desk and chair and even my team leader mushed up a banana in front of my yesterday. I have tried to get help i have a banana phobia!!! I have a counsellor called Ross, do you think i should take legal action against my colleagues? Oh and im a brummie, it couldnt get any worse" I have never been subjected to banana bullying by the way. I would like to make that very clear.

they aren't, apparently scientist have found that they are attracted to the dark on the other side of the light.

Brilliant example if I might say BTF. Sadly some people can not accept that this is still the case in toady's society too. there are millions of young Mums out ther who bloody well deserve that family allowance. Suggestions like this are nothing but sexist crap. What would your mother say if she heard you talking like htis!

If only people knew who they are starting with in this policy? Honestly, believe me I am very closely involved in this process. I can understand why people want the system changed, but the people who are the real problem are not going to sack themselves. It would be like turkeys voting for Christmas. I know people who's only contact with the outside world is one day at a day centre, quite literally. And they want these people to justify their entitlement. Watch yourselves people, some might want to get some advice from an advocacy agency if you are unfortunate enough to have a disabilty, they are coming for you. Do not attend a care manager's review without without first seeking unbiased advice.

It sounds very much like that 'we're doomed' fella from Dad's Army. If I could ask the people who start these bull**** scaremongering one thing, I would ask them 'So how come you; live on a private Island with a garagefull of cars, a private jet, servants - SERVANTS FFS. I bet someone further up the food chain of capitalism will shout out "Don't tell him Pike" We all need to kick back a little bit and accept that our futures currently lie in the arms of these wealthy white men, it's a supremetist system that feeds off of the good people within our societies. And I for one have had enough of this bull**** system. I am never ever going to vote ever again. You may say that that gives me no right to comment on our governent and politics in general, but you are wrong, that in my opinion gives me just as much right to comment as anyone. I'm going to promote the idea of working for 'cash'. Let's keep a bit of money in our own pockets. **** the taxman, he'll get by, may have to cut back on a few backhanders to their 'mates' but they'll just put the price of petrol up. Ironically, then telling us that they have no choice, we neeed to cut back on our so called luxuries. Practice what you preach you bastards. I don't wanna work on Maggie's Farm anymore.

The mods have been given the Alan Pardew treatment in my very humble opinion. I went through last season with these guys. I went through the JPT journey with them. Cheers outgoing mods, I really do hope that you are stopping for the right reasons and will whatevr happens still come on and chat now and then. I love you guys. xx BJ

i set up a you tube account, which it says it is 'uploaded' it to. what now?

Thanks for the PM, uploading vid now.

and stop the 'school prefects on acid' council tax exemption. imho it is immoral to not pay your way yet take a position of telling others how to behave. Hypocritical politicies like this demonstrate just how out of touch our council and governent are.

cheers for that Verbal. please don't be offended (sorry, i keep saying that) but however those /\ arguments are formed makes no difference to the fact that we are progressing and no-one is willing to nor able to for that matter stop it, we can't even slow down 'progress' as by it's very nature it is perpetual. One example I can think of that I can get my head around; batteries. The battery makers are always looking for methods and materials to make household batteries last longer and be cheaper in both manufacturing and over the counter prices. They do not however want us to stop buying batteries, they want a bigger slice of whatever the current market is but they do not want us to use batteries less than we currently consume them. The latest thing with batteries is 'recycling' them to ease the 'harmful impact on the planet' but if there was no way for someone to make a few bucks out of this re-cycling mallarky then we would not be having it thrust down our throats. It may come across as me being cynical, but what i am truying to say is that it is ALL about making wealthy people wealthier imho. And I am talking about WEALTHY wealthy, not the puppet politicians clones and wanna be wealthy businessmen.
