    I saw a Tweet earlier saying that the Senior Partygoers were not fined but the Juniors were – because the Juniors filled in their MET questionaires but the Seniors refused to.

    As someone replied, there’s a “life lesson” in there that you’d do well to learn from.

    “The Nasty Party” behaving exactly as you would expect them to act, and exactly how they have always acted. Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last 10 years or so, you can’t possibly be surprised by anything that has happened recently.

    Their “reason for existing” is for the betterment of themselves and their own. That’s it, full-stop.

    I think that as far as the “Tory Devoteds” are concerned, the exact opposite is going to happen. They will see a group of people who were more than happy to party/booze the evenings away whilst people were dying and who are only now – out of spite – ‘fessing up. It’s a stretch to call them “honest and truthful” when they’ve been lying/keeping quiet for the last 2 years. No better than Dome-Head-Dom who did exactly the same thing after helping to see the UK down the river for the Tory paymasters.

    I think you’ll find that any attempt at personal recycling actually is theft.

    Was thinking about this yesterday.

    It’s very frustrating when you see something happen that “offends your core morals” (for want of a better description) like this but you know that essentially there’s very little you can do about it.

    You can’t slap them (and you can’t – so that’s the end of that) so maybe a better thing to do is wait until the little gits have moved on and then approach the victim to make sure they are alright? Probably no physical harm done, even by a stale biscuit, but quite possible they are a bit shaken up. Maybe offer to walk them home or to wherever they’re going. Reassure them that they are safe now and that “not all kids behave like that”. May go some way towards repairing the damage done.

    You can only imagine what ‘over the dinner table’ conversations in households like this must be like.

    Seems like our school got it right then. No one who wanted them was forced to go without photos and no one was put at risk.

    I have a Nissan Hardbody Double-Cab – so can’t compare with what you’re looking for.
    Pickups are great though 🙂

    Speaking as someone who’s a bit out of touch because his children are grown up, what exactly is the ‘worry’ over having your children photographed running a race or acting in a play?

    Some parents didn’t want their children photographed by other parents and one of the Christmas Plays our children were in.

    Our school waited until the end of the play and then organized for all the children who’s parents consented to pictures being taken to stand and have their photos taken – either alone or in groups (of Angels etc), still in costume and against background scenery etc. It worked very well and we got some beautiful pictures.

    I assume the children who’s parents who didn’t want them photographed were ushered out of the hall before they realised that they were being treated differently? Otherwise that would open up a whole other can of worms . . . .

    So many classic lines from the young ones and bottom that became phrases we used all the time. Bit like Monty Python lines I guess.

    Very sad to hear this news.

    The general feeling in SA is that there is very little difference between Mad Bob and what the ANC would do if they thought they could get away with it. Time will tell I guess – I’m just a visitor 🙂

    The ANC of today bares no resemblance to the ANC of Nelson Mandela. You would have to live here to fully appreciate how bad it is though.

    I’m currently in South Africa and they’ve just had a general election. The fifth democratic election since the end of apartheid in 1994. The ANC party is to remain in power as it has done since ’94, but with its lowest majority ever.

    There are many serious issues in SA at the moment concerning education & health services, housing and essential supply services, corruption and theft within government and local authorities, and the serious/violent crime rate is one of the highest in the world.

    After 20 years of democracy, when asked why millions of people still live in squatter camps, why over 3 million people don’t have access to electricity, why if you go to a government hospital you have to take your own clean sheets and food, the government say that there hasn’t been enough time yet since the end of apartheid to fix these things. Hopefully for the millions of people who live in such awful conditions, 25 or 30 years will have “been enough time” and they will have access to the basic services – clean running water and electricity. It will be a step in the right direction if the government and local authorities can stop “losing” money. Last year alone 32 billion rand was unaccounted for.

    Meanwhile, the masses have spoken. They are apparently happy enough with things as they are to remain loyal to the ANC.

    Does Virgin allow you to access “adult sites” or do they police that too?

    I’m abroad – there are no rules over here for anything, but our access is a bit slower 🙂

    There has been a idea over here in SA that Madiba went into a coma after his last bout of illness in June and has been technically “brain dead” since then – but kept alive on a ventilator.

    There are many reasons given as to why his actual death (switching off the machine) has been delayed – all to do with in-fighting within the family (bodies of deceased family members were recently moved from one graveyard to another before he could join them) and for political reasons (the ANC wanted to delay the announcment until a particular time)

    We will probably never know the whole truth – although it does seem like a big secret to keep in this day and age of social media and making a quick buck . . .

    I’ve never seen a post on here that was so badly written I couldn’t understand it – apart from when it’s been written like that on purpose.

    On the other hand I don’t live on here – so maybe I’ve just been lucky?

    In any case, there will always be a billy-no-mates aka “Milk Monitor” who no one in real life will listen to but gets the attention he craves on here causing trouble . . . lol. Just ignore him 🙂

    “isohunt just linked to piratebay which linked to the torrents”

    That may be true – but IsoHunt gave you the nice option of selecting specific files from within a “torrent” – which I found convienient.

    Anyway, PB it is for now. And I use uTorrent.

    I used to like selecting the files I wanted to download, rather than loading everything and selecting the files I don’t want to download.

    PB will be steaming now.

    We need a grey water setup like what them Frenchies gone done got. The incompetence of the water authorities in the UK is staggering.

    Aren’t most of the UK water companies owned by the frenchies now?

    😮
