Difficult really because in a power mismatch one side can feel threatened whilst the other side doesn't. Is there still a power mismatch is the question.

Sky/BBC (can't remember which) had a charities expert on who said the issue was that NOT enough was spent on administration and back office - It all went to the cause.

We take more risks (as we think we've judged the risk) - so we do make more mistakes IMHO

Thameslink trains - sign the petition for a decent service
JohnL replied to Medley's topic in The Lounge
I tweeted Thameslink to say they were the worst train service ... and they retweeted it, then their other company did too. Are they proud of it ? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/worst-train-operators-for-customer-satisfaction-are-all-in-south-east-a6838431.html -

But then six nations sould be watched in a pub (or at the ground) :)

Otta Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Is drinking on your own doorstap antisocial? If it's a flat and it's community areas, yes. Being drunk and loud on your own doorstep would too (which I guess is the case). Just having a drink No. Drinking Stella at any time - Yes (It makes me crazy :) )

Crushed and Devalued was the 'fake' thread wasn't it.

I'm a big kid - so probably will like it then. Sometimes you don't need deep.

I have Windows 10. It's OK in terms of usability - maybe too much there - OS should be simple. Not sure yet - I don't really find it faster - but recently internet seems slower everywhere. It's going the way of UK Steel I think. I have 16Gb memory and i7 too. I would still say nothing wrong with Windows 7 - still best proved version of windows but MS is trying to force the upgrade it seems.

Good to you for actually answering. Anything foreign goes stright to voice along with others if I'm not feeling like answering.

Rye Lane is the only place I've seen somebody flattened by the wing mirror of a bus. He got back up and continued as if nothing happened.

How dare he :) Did he turn round and scowl like old Steptoe ? (I've never seen this guy just read about him but that's what I imagine) Edit: being a bit ironic here - not rude btw :)
