  1. watch I've had an baby otter follow me along a river bank. It whistled all the time. My take on it was that it had become separated from its mother and was just following movement out of habit. Maybe the same thing was happening here???? The guy in the video was a wuss lol.
  2. So the Irish ran bailiffs out of town and refused to pay for their water. I like the sound of that. I might come and live next door to you mate, I qualify for a passport as my mother was Irish. We could have many a fight over a pint.lol.
  3. Look at the improvements Labour has made to the lives of working people over the last 100 years:........................ State pensions, the NHS, universal vaccinations, affordable, publicly- owned rented housing, an education system which allows access to the top universities for the working class, sick pay, employment rights, the minimum wage. Even under the Blair years the Labour government doubled spending on the NHS, and made huge inroads into child and pensioner poverty. All of these improvements were viciously opposed by the tories. The only thing I can think of that the tories have in

    Poverty

    Not from what I read constantly on this site and frankly coming out of every 'working man's' mouth. Haven't you heard? Apparently it's not the poor hard done by working man's fault for taking a loan that he can't manage, it's the lender's fault! See that's how society works now, we're not responsible for our own actions, it's every one else's fault. Makes perfect sense to me! Why do the British hate freedom and responsibility so much? I can see Labour having a landslide. It's straight out of their mantra. My nephew was made redundant. He has two kids. His rent was astronomical but for

    Because it's legitimate business that is regulated to stop the debt getting to be even a tiny fraction of what you claimed it to be and all outlawing it would do is further protect people from their own stupidity. I'm not stupid and frankly I find it insulting how as a society we seem to beg the government to protect us from our own stupidity. Keep taking away citizens responsibility and they'll happily continue to become more irresponsible. It's no solution! Maybe I give the average man on the street (like me!) too much credit? Maybe he does need his arse wiping for him and spoon feeding?

    I just looked again at 'Quickquid' the payday lender I was on about. I was mistaken the APR is 1295%, more than I quoted.. Fair enough you are supposed to repay the loan within a few months but that's how they draw you in for life because, inevitably, borrowers cannot afford to pay the debt within a few months. Hence the vicious cycle. I cannot understand you defending these companies. They should be outlawed.

    Saw an advert on telly for a loan company,QUICKQUID, I think.They charge 1250% interest.If you charged that in the middle ages you would be horsewhipped and hung.Those rates just intensify poverty.Absolutely unacceptable.

    I hate all this poverty porn crap....Benefits Street etc. Anybody on benefits is on the bones of their arse. Most people dread being on benefits. If it's so good why do we move heaven and hell to avoid it? These programmes just distract us from the real unfairness in society, the mega tax dodgers (many of them politicians), the way wealth is divided, (we get feck all the filthy rich get richer), the multinationals doing sweetheart deals etc, etc. Some of the multinationals have turnovers bigger than many countries, but pay next to nothing in tax. If you're lucky you don't get called up to fi
  11. Fantastic to see the kiddie running and stamping for the first time and the other kids' pleasure in running with her. Pity we become such horrible feckers when we get old.

  17. I've often wondered why rugby players don't try their hand at boxing. They are obviously tough, fit lads that don't mind getting a slap. Is it because they like the security of the pack/team and don't fancy being on their own in a ring?
  18. Hope you meant the player and not me. But, in truth the description is fairly accurate for both of us.
  19. Mr Aguero, this is an assault, not Fellaini pointing his head at you. French-Rugby-League-player-knocks-referee-punch.html
  20. If only they were that exciting.
  21. Costa is the worst.Spends the whole match pissing about like a pantomine dame.Really bad for our traditional game.
  22. Fellaini is a fookin idiot and Aguero is as good an actor as a WWF wrestler. Pair of them complete arseholes. Surely managers can tell players to not react and surely players should have enough self respect not to go down as if they've been shot as soon as there's any contact. Something really wrong with the modern game. If a player really has a gripe with another player why don't they sort it out in the tunnel or after the game? Takes the piss out of ordinary guys who pay good money to watch them.
  23. Is this THL gay channel? Too homo-erotic fro me.
