I thought the Israeli-Palestinian thing is because they don?t have enough Marmite.


Anyway, what about Australia for that matter?


It seems that it isn?t the heat but the combination of heat and the Euro. As a currency it was obviously designed for use in economies where the people making financial transactions are not suffering from heat induced laziness and half-cut on olive oil.


The refusal to take sensible, honest consideration of climate induced cultural differences when structuring monetary policy is one of the many things that are wrong with the world today.

Anyone remember when shops used to give families tick,letting them have goods to pay back the following week,

When friday came they paid their bill and had nothing left to get any groceries and the shopkeeper gave them more tick,

never ending circle of debt.

This is how the eurzone is operating now,they will never be able to pay the loans back,austerity measures we all ready had those in the fifties.

I cant remember us having a bail out from euro funds, so why have we got austerity measures,and where was how refund Thatcher and Blair was supposed to have sorted out.

Conservatives will not be in goverment again for decades to come, the most heartless and unfeeling cabinet of men since Hitlers third reicht,hitting the old disabled and poor, because their Euro masters have more clout than them.

coalition Libs are just glove puppets.The real people will not vote for them ever again.

No....nor has anyone else



Meanwhile, LOL at scoffing at the impracticality of early sociologists trying to impose a theorretical map on different societies as they are far too complex for such generalisation but supporting the actual implementation of a single currency to complex and differing societies.


Anyone want to ask me what the Irish I work with feel about the hike in interset rates they had yeasterday to cool the German economy?

      I disagree, it was pretty filthy back then, plus the issues that Southwark have had were the ones left by EA.

      Cyclist visibility

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      I've been cycling in London for decades. The two times a vehicle knocked me off my bicycle, were in conditions that were well lit (one was daylight) and the night time one was just me and the vehicle on the road. Both the driver's fault. The point it that most drivers are perfectly capable of seeing a bicycle in most conditions, just as they are capable of seeing a child or dog run out in front of them. Who knows why a small percentage are incapable of doing that, but gaslighting the victim is not the answer. Are there wreckless cyclists? Sure. Just as there are reckless drivers and pedestrians. But it's worth remembering that millions of roads users navigate their journeys perfectly safely every day. As a driver, you are taught to check your mirrors regularly (not just when considering an manoevre), and the first rule of the Highway Code, is to always avoid an accident if you can. My attitude when using the roads it to always expect someone to do something stupid/ wreckless. I look for it. That is the best way of avoiding any accident, no matter what form of transport you use.

      The existing guidance is advisory. It suggests that cyclists and pedestrians might like to consider wearing brighter clothes / reflective gear etc. Doesn't say you have to. Lights is a separate matter because they're a legal requirement but helmets, hi-vis etc is all guidance. The problem is that as soon as anyone isn't wearing it, it gets used as a weapon against them. Witness the number of times on this very forum that the first question asked when a cyclist injury is reported, someone going "were they wearing a helmet?!" in an almost accusatory tone. And the common tone of these sort of threads of "I saw a cyclist wearing all black..." Generally get on with life in a considerably more sensible and less victim-blaming manner. Things are also a lot clearer legally, most countries have Presumed Liability which usually means that the bigger more powerful vehicle is to blame unless proven otherwise. And contrary to popular belief, this does not result in pedestrians leaping under the wheels of a cyclist or cyclists hurling themselves in front of trucks in order to claim compensation. To be fair, this time of year is crap all round. Most drivers haven't regularly driven in the dark since about February / March (and haven't bothered to check minor things like their own lights, screenwash levels etc), it's a manic time in the shops (Halloween / Bonfire Night / Black Friday) so there's loads more people out and about (very few of them paying any attention to anything), the weather is rubbish, there are slippery leaves everywhere...
