The recession has impacted the number of people who will be sleeping on the streets this Christmas... and there will be a huge increase in the numbers of London's homeless this winter you can do something that really counts... put you hands in you pockets and contribute to something life changing... http://www.choirwithnoname.org/index.php http://www.choirwithnoname.org/images/site/logo.png The Choir with No Name is made up of homeless people and of other men and women from the very edges of our society. We're a diverse bunch of people; male and female, black and white, big and small, young and er, not quite as young, up and down... We sing pop, rock, soul, gospel, reggae, musicals.. you name it, we'll give it a go.. although we've yet to try any thrash metal or grime. We rehearse once a week (with a decent dinner at the end of rehearsal!) and we perform in London regularly. We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it distracts you from all the nonsense in life and helps you to build up your confidence and abilities.

all those fcuking shoppers rushing to buying a load more shite... are they even stopping to think for just one second about those less fortunate that themselves... like fcuk they are!!!!

Nr Ben said I got an idea... why don't they expand on the idea of a micro tax on currency trading (which is being considered as a way of raising funds to combat poverty in developing countries/deal with the costs of carbon reduction etc) and up it, say, from the proposed 0.005% to 0.01% on UK based transactions. Then use the monies raised to chip away at gov. borrowing for the quantative easing... instead of taking it out of the budget for housing, transport, HE, etc. What do you think? sounds genius to me... but then I have got my Saturday brain on.... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4c205dc6-e428-11de-bed0-00144feab49a,dwp_uuid=d68cb1fc-a38d-11de-a435-00144feabdc0.html

[quote name=n my experience people always/usually change for the worse once they have kids' date=' especially the older they are when they have them. Ive lost a number of friends this way. Good riddance I say . ] I don't feel that way at all... I have some totally fab friends who have kids and some, who are equally splendid, who don't... I judge them as I find them and say each to their own.... oh and Happy Christmas Dazie xxCC

what... the bitter and twisted bit of the kids thing???

yes... and if anyone believes all this 'green shoots' b*llsh*t, they need their heads examining... just wait till after the elections... it's going to be one hell of a bumpy ride...

http://bluehydrangeas.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/philip-larkin.jpg that's funny Quids... I was thinking at the EFD drink how you are the spit of him...

hhhmmm.. maybe it's having kids that turns you into your parents than... and maybe by not having kids you can stay 'yourself' ------------------------------------------------------- feeling particularly bitter and twisted today -------------------------------------------------------

david_carnell and incase anyone thinks I am not concerned about the other proposed cuts, yes David, the notion of selection Housing as a way to try to rectify the debt crisis is utterly disgraceful... of course I realise that the money has to come from somewhere, and we are all party to the mess we are in to a greater or lesser degree.... but pleeeaase!!!! London alone is expecting a population increase of a million in the next 20 year... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/london-leads-the-way-in-uk-population-increase-419879.html http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/maps_and_graphs/2009/10/21/Population.gif

no... but thanks for the offer, too fcuking furious to do anything but fume... I suspect the temper tantrun will pass... or maybe I'll turn into a modern day female Guy Fawkes http://nickbaines.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/guy-fawkes-anarchist-poster.jpg
