Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
It might if I wasnt teetotal,but a decent cup of tea will absolve all your ancestral sins in my eyeswill a wee dram make amends![]()

Branno ……”the russians invaded poland just before the germans did”
I think you’ll find (if you bother to read or research) that the Germans invaded on 1st Sept 1939, and pursuant to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Poland was attacked by the Soviet Union on the 17th September 1939.
I’ll read & review the rest of your rants as/when I’ve the time and/or the inclination.

Germany did indeed invade Poland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland.

We committed quite a few ourselves.
How far back do you want to go ?
Survival of the fittest will always prevail once the thin veneer of 'civilisation' is stripped away.
That's life I'm afraid, has been for millions of years, and will continue on in that way long after we've gone.
The best we can do is to be kind and considerate to all we meet....but also be on our guard.
The genocide we comitted during the Crusades still holds dark memories in the Middle East.

Cameron announced yesterday that over £600 million in aid, out of our taxes, will be going to help set up schools and other projects in Pakistan.
Meanwhile also on the news there was a report about the 1,000s of UK citizens who are having to suffer months or years of constant arthritic pain because of the NHS waiting lists.
We are going to pay benefits to Romanians.
We are funding free advice for 'bogus' asylum seekers and other assorted illegals, and also supplying them with free food and accommodation.
Something is very wrong in our society.![]()
Arthritic pain is manageable and isn't life threatening so no rush, it's just a quality of life thing. I need a few joints replacing but I'll put them off till they pack in altogether, and I seize up like a rusty Robocop![]()

On the contrary Those so called protest marches demonstrate what a spoilt bunch of privileged brats they really are.
Margaret Thatcher did a marvellous job with The Falklands and with Northern Ireland apart from letting those two cowardly bombers Adams and that curly headed .... literally get away with murder.
The present Conservative government, like it as been said before on this thread, are doing a good job cleaning up the previous administrations mess
How much is Cameron giving Pakistan£650 million?He is cutting UK services to the bone with one hand but splashing the cash to pakistan as an apology for our imperialist past
Dont apologise for me mate,what a
parts of pakistan are still in the stone ages(some of baluchistan and parts of the north)so a new school here or there isnt going to make a ha'pporth of difference,invest in UK schools instead
I was delusional enough to think the Con'servatives would make a difference,now I am giving serious thought to retiring early in spain

£650M is only a drop in the ocean compared with the £Billions that Labour wasted in Iraq, and on top of that they poured £Millions into Pakistan, India, etc themselves.

Throughout 1990, Thatcher's popularity — and that of the Conservative government — waned considerably. Whereas in 1987 Thatcher had presided over an economic boom, by 1989-90 interest rates had to be hiked to 15% to cool inflation which was now in double digits - and by late 1990 the economy was in recession. The introduction of the deeply unpopular Community Charge (labelled 'Poll Tax') had been greeted with widespread non-payment and even a riot in Trafalgar Square in April 1990. Labour held a lead in most of the opinion polls since mid 1989 and at the height of the Poll tax controversy, one opinion poll had shown Labour support in excess of 50% with a lead of more than 20 points over the Tories.
the Toriesin the 90's. Labour inherited the Tories shamble of a gov. 15% interest rates, recession. yes i remember the IRON COW. Thatcher.

In 1979 when Thatcher took over from Labour, interest rate was around 14%.
As far as I can see from the stats, after a relatively long period of low inflation after the war, it first got out of control under the Heath/Barbour government in the early 70s. It hit 27% at one point!No wonder the unions were recommending strike action to their members! And no wonder when Heath asked 'who governs' the electorate said 'well, not you mate... on your bike!'. Then after a period of struggling with it, Labour got it under control again by the late 70s before it galloped off again under Thatcher. To be fair to her, the stats show it then falling but it was increasing by the time she left office in 1990: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBAS...9&More=N&All=Y
To me, I really don't see where the Tories rep for economic competence comes from. I would say it is more to do with the fact that they've been lucky enough not to be in power during the major global economic crisis of the last 30-40 years. And when they have been in power during the good times, they truly haven't fixed the leaking roof. Our infrasture is in a bad way. It is embarrassing to compare with places like Germany or Norway. Far too much was squandered on tax cuts for the super rich when those tax revenues could have been used to invest in the future of our country.
