mmmmmm I think you've got this wrong Chair- why is Keef's guitar thread not back in here on your logic? The lounge is discussion the drawing room debate, or so it says on the tin . I think the OP only put this in here because they were new. I reckon you could have half the lounge in here on those grounds.


Of course I understand the principle of some interesting philisophical offshoots from these sorts of threads but they fit better in the lounge too.

In theory Chair is right, you can have a serious discussion about any subject. But I would've thought it rests with the OP to decide whether they want their thread to be discussed as a serious topic in The Drawing Room or more lightheartedly in The Lounge. Quids is right, Keef's guitar thread has every right to be in here, believe me there are some serious musos out there who are more than capable of getting all philosophical about the merits of owning a Les Paul. On the other hand, if Keef sticks in the Lounge he can't have any complaints if someone then flippantly posts a picture of George Formby with his ukelele under the caption 'turned out nice again - Fenders are for benders!'.


When I first popped into the Drawing Room I saw the 'Is there a God' thread, sighed, and hightailed in out of here. But I'm sure over time it will settle down and find it's raison d'etre...

As this is a discussion about clowns in the Drawing Room I would have hoped that people would respect that and stayed on topic, going off topic is something we'd like deter on discussions in the Drawing Room. I would suggest that if don't agree with the Chair's decision, PM the Chair rather than spoil other people's discussions


This topic's in The Drawing Room so the (removed) jokey comments about "they are the scourge of SE22 and will soon be in the Lounge", "parp parp" and "child abduction" made it Lounge worthy (although confusingly the actual topic itself makes it open to humour).


Anyway this new room's a learning process and Red devil's last line summed it up nicely, "...I'm sure over time it will settle down and find it's raison d'etre..."

Clowns: I think it's the fact you can see they're not smiling under the painted on smile that alludes to their insincerity and potential hidden depths of nastiness.

I think this Drawing Room idea is crap. Most people don't know what they are if they have one in their big ED homes, and others may not know the historical significance of them.


Lounge - Drawing Room - Kitchen.

Just rooms in a House.

Chair - I would like to have an EGM about the getting rid of Drawing Room or renaming it to "Serious discussions about stuff only, no really" thread.

      Chatgpt is a joy (and scary)  No Water on Barry Road" (to the tune of No Woman, No Cry) (Verse 1) No water… on Barry Road No water… on Barry Road Said, I remember, when we used to flow In the tap by the old front gate Oba served us clear, sweet water Then it vanished like fate And then the plumber would come in the evening Fixing pipes, sayin’, "Just hold tight" But every time we checked the faucet It was still a dusty fight (Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… yeah On Barry Road (Verse 2) I see the buckets lined up outside Hope in every pail we hold The sun be blazing, the kids be crying And the kettle’s running cold Good friends we had, and good friends we lost To the drought along the way In this bright future, we can't forget the past But we sure need water today (Chorus) No water… no flowin’ tide On Barry Road… we stand and sigh No water… but we still survive On Barry Road… we still try (Bridge) Oh, dry days will pass, I know Pipe dreams gotta start to flow But until then we wait and pray For rain or trucks to come our way (Final Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… no pride But still we rise… (It refused to sing it for me)

      Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
