  1. A stretch of the imagination, or a politician's wish list?

    Clarkson....

    Ah, back to your true form eh Rother... Amazing how many times that ill defined word is trotted out by those who either don't like being challenged on their views, or are incapable of forming a proper reply... :Winky:

    Clarkson....

    I think you mean you're losing the argument/plot densh... :Winky: ps. never been on benefits in my life - but then that just shows up yet again how your posts are so widely inaccurate! But hey.... here's a teaser for you that will no doubt keep you creaming your pants until January...

    Clarkson....

    Could you please show exactly how this shows he is saying 'what the masses think'?... You may happen to agree with a couple of right wing c*nts, but that doesn't make it a majority position...in fact national polls polls have shown more people support the strikes than the government! Please do try and curb your enthusiasm for making things up to suit your own point of view.... :Winky: But it's also quite amusing to see you ridicule someone who says he fears for marchers safety, and yet apparently the 'masses' would like to execute said marchers according to your logic...

    Clarkson....

    Nothing to do with PC society... It's about being consistent! I happen to think anyone should be able to say similar, but it appears that you can only get away with it (joking or not) depending on who you are!

    Clarkson....

    So what 'grain' is that?... Just because you think you/he speaks for 'thousands' doesn't actually make it true does it... :Winky: Some of us are able to see the hypocrisy !

    Clarkson....

    Funnily enough a couple of people said something similar on facebook (inciting violence) that they said was also meant to be a joke... They got 4 years...!

    Clarkson....

    ‘LET’S DRAG JEREMY CLARKSON OUT OF HIS HOUSE AND EXECUTE HIM’
  9. +1 I work for myself, but will be taking the kids to a local picket/march... People have to realise it's time to stand up against the bullys, and if it's treated as a day off now then more and more will find that the 'day off' becomes permanent in the future!
  10. Thanks That makes sense... Now to find the right material !
  11. Unfortnately though we have no way of knowing what a 'right situation' do we.... And the reason is because there is no true independant way of holding plod to account! Therefore for them it's just a case of getting the balance of the lies and the politics right, and there will be no comeback...and even if it did look like there might be a 'problem' regarding evidence against them, then there are always the options of 'timing out' an investigation, or retirement on medical grounds... :Winky: They literally get away with murder, and The State is complicit in this... There are three levels of proof to hold one to account in the country. The lowest is the Civil Court.. Next up is the Criminal Court.. Finally there is god plod!
  12. When Tasers were first introduced it was stated explicitly that they were to be a non-lethal alternative to a firearm being used... The figures state that they were used 110 times in London alone last year.. So either they would have shot 110 people without them, or they are used when not applicable. Give plod a weapon and he'll use it when it's easier!...And as I have said before, it's just an arms race and will lead eventually to cops being routinely armed. Batons weren't 'enough', so they got sprays. Sprays are not 'enough' so the start getting Tasers. When they are not 'enough' guess what the next move is!! Funnily enough, this is the reply given by the same cop when replying to the ruling that swearing at a police officer wasn't a crime... Plod speak for 'we'll fit you up for something else'!
  13. The main drum part could be an old steel dustbin that I've got, and aa old rucksack could be converted for the harness... But how to make the 'skin' is what is puzzling me... Some form of taut tarpaulin perhaps? But how to get it taut is what I'd like to ask....
  14. UK's debts 'biggest in the world' The Lyrics have never been truer than now.... :Winky:
  15. And you are right to a certain extent Divvy - but that is the result of globalisation! Driving down wages in order to increase profits is a corporate mantra! And when some are happy to accept lower wages, then why pay more?...we have been doing that for years by exporting our jobs to China! Now we can no longer afford to import so much, companies/government are eroding our earning power in order to keep their gravy train going... Lets hope that enough people will understand that in time, so the 'occupy' protests become a revolutionary movement! I see that they have occupied an empty building owned by UBS.... I'd like to see a certain useless building in westminster occupied !
  16. My username gives away my previous occupation, so I'm obsessive about safety measures in this field... However, it should be noted that other manufacturers use the same timer including Samsung... JW...demand a new model if under 3 years old - don't put up with the 12 month liability b*llshit!
  17. Not sure if it classifies as a close call All1 , as the number of serious problems are still quite few...That of course doesn't help if you are one of the few who are affected... But then I'm speaking as someone who has 4 smoke alarms linked over 2 floors, and a CO detector on each floor as well...
  18. And who else loses? Salaried workers of course! Link
  19. Divvy, you may have had a slight point if the work people are required to do benefited society as a whole - but just greasing the palms of the already rich?... And what jobs that you talk about are actually out there? So who do you think actually runs this country? Big corporations have a word in the governmental ear, and hey presto - free labour! And who benefits?...Big corporations of course! The UK is on track to become the new sweatshop economy, and it won't be long before the Chinese are getting us to manufacture for them! Some benefit claimants are indeed scroungers, but most need benefits to survive and have paid (or their families have) into the system so there is some form of entitlement there... And how much money have we tax payers poured into the banking system in order that they carry on making profits and paying ludicrous bonuses? Anyone who actually believes that an 'elected' government actually decides what happens in a capitalist society is deluded in the extreme!
  20. Young jobseekers told to work without pay or lose unemployment benefits Corporate UK in all it's glory...Such a f*cked up place, where exploitation is rife!
  21. 'TV Dinner table' or 'laptop table' should do the trick.... You could try adding 'foldable' too... :Fun: ps. what does the 'bed mate' refer to in that image.... :Cool:
  22. I don't want to alarm you unduly, but get in touch with Beko regarding the problem they have had with Defrost timers on certain models...(0800 009 4837) Link The reason I know is that we had one that had a similar problem, and wasn't on the list of affected products - but they sorted it anyway...
  23. So sorry to hear about this DJ... And it's great that you want her to see as many places as possible in case the worst happens. But just remember that the only thing she'll really miss seeing is you and your daughters!
  24. I'm sure most people in the 1930's thought that the idea of a war was OTT too... However the similarities between the situation then and now are striking. And there's always money for war!... In fact I believe it possible that one is being engineered in the same fashion as was WW2, because the issues are the same..In fact they are worse due to the increased world population and dwindling resources... But will we? Of course if the US deploys weapons it considered using in the Gulf, it might be a more 'interesting' war... :Smiler:
