Ok the temporary summer relocation. Which even so is not insignificant

Fair play to the Muslims tho, they frown on cannabis use. Now you have something in common with them too Another thing that strikes me is that we have met before. On here I mean, not some other life

Your posts would suggest a surplus of healthy ego yourself tarot

It seems like a looong time ago when I met georgia at my first drinks. As everyone says, basically ?we are not worthy? As Piers noted, it was the growing popularity of monthly drinks which necessitated some organisation ? and if memory serves Mike Paeleantologist was earmarked as joint organiser ? but without complaint georgia has month after month arranged and attended each drink and fair play to her I thought the Actress was always going to be a tough gig ? some pubs on a Friday night (see also Liqourice, EDT, Bishop) are just too busy to accommodate a changing bunch of hardened regulars and some anxious first-timers. If a first-timer ventures along to the Clockhouse or CPT it sort of becomes apparent who the forum drinks gang might be. It?s just not the same in one of the megabusy weekend bars. My favourite nights were My first drinks (CPT) The Phoenix First time at Hoopers The joint Castle/CPT drinks Gowlett Maybe we should organise one last hurrah drinks for georgia as a big thank you ? anyone who has ever benefited from the drinks should come along or donate to a bar fund

Again with the characterising one as industrious and the other as not. Why?

Nah the story is simple because the concept of fairness is simple And timeless. Fairness isn?t a recent buzzword. It has defined the better aspects of our whole evolution as a species. To try and stifle a yawn or opt out of the debate is poor *Bob* - that chapter is unwritten. Occasional flirting is as far as it gets I think

What I?m not sure about is why my island example was in any way Guardian-ish? 2 people arrive on an island, one happens to find wood to build a hut. I gave two possible examples of what might happen next - neither of which seem liberal per se. And yet it gets called Guardianesque Interestingly some people assumed the person who didn?t find wood was workshy or off sunning himself. Without any evidence or fleshing out of the story that was the assumption they made. Not ? ?the other person went to find food, of which there was none? or even ?found some flares and tried to alert passing planes? ? nope.. workshy. Now if I had said those examples in the original story then I could see it was Guardianesqe (and no worse for it btw) but I didn?t. People filled in their own blanks

It's always been that Louisiana. The success is that many societies have tempered the worst excesses of that instinct The failure is that that appears to some people as a folly

It's fantastic. I'm not sure i would describe it as you did monkey but. Well the demo is generous and more than enough to give you the idea. It's not a long game by any means. But it has been the one to engage me the most

That's a given bob Workshy tho. I like that

Two people wash up on an island One of them notices a pile of wood on their side of the island and builds a hut, using all available material Do they tell the other person to sleep outside in the puoring rain or do they share the shelter? If it?s the latter then we have fairness and a more equal society in this example If the former than the person who build the hut can scream as much as they like about it was them what found the wood, why should they share. It won?t matter. In the end that person will get done in by the person sleeping in the rain.

DJKQ ? you are addressing Mockney who I don?t think has contributed to this thread Katie ? I would consider myself one of the people who, along with circumstance and some luck, has worked hard to get a decent job. As long as I have that decent job then I am happy to be paying more in taxes. Back when I did 2 jobs and still had no money I didn?t look at people in good jobs and think ?oooh they look a bit stressed out what with working hard and paying more taxes? What I did think was ?they look very relaxed and comfortable and untroubled by where the rent is coming from? It is possible for many many people to work far harder than those on 40k plus and have next to nothing. In fact that is the lot of the majority. So to hear people say they are bored of hearing it or think they are being hard done by really hacks me off

The tax system is not some kind of piggybank. To be paying a lot into it means you are one of life's winners already

It is truly awe-inspiring to see how lucid, inspirational and visionary those who don't smoke cannabis can be

Several broken legs suggests we aren't falling down at a gust of wind

Judging by her posts on other threads it's Muslims Keef. Personally I think this thread shows that too But even quoting her I'll be accused of twisting her words

If you start a new thread and address it to Dear James, how sure are you he will read it given the amount of correspondance in the Ask James Barber thread? Might be worth posting it there

Axeman, NOT BigBadWolf remember , has a very similar habit to BBW in that having received a warning from Admin, he feels the need to share it with people Most curious

as cuts go, that seems fairer than many

The latter yes, but it's pushing it to say there is no demand for an extened market on Saturdays - quite a few people on the thread have welcomed it

try again wolfie, only without the racism this time

going by the live updates here i REALLY wish I was at home watching this

After Pirates 3 I?m pretty much hoping to not catch a glimpse of ANYTHING to do with Pirates 4 I remember Mr Depp when he used to do a spot of barwork in Filthy McNasty?s up Angel way back in the 90s (he was filming and spent a lot of time in there with Shane McGowan and other reprobates)

As an employer what you want is someone who is self-motivated and not afraid to work hard The sort of person, say, who crosses continents to get a job. And not so much the sort of person who turns up to work (late) only because their benefits have been stopped

like it. a lot
