Great thoughts from two great minds
The bravest thing that men do is love women--Mort Sahl
one thing my misses dosn't miss is the heat, sunshine yes, but not the burning heat 24/7 and of course her family, but thats it, nothing else.
like you've said there are more opportunities here in the uk, if you want money and work hard, you can make it.
benefit system if you can no longer work, or lose your job, you might struggle, but you shouldn't starve in the uk, unlike Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day and According to UNICEF, 26,500-30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world
but don't forget some people in the uk are struggling to, http://www.poverty.org.uk/summary/key%20facts.shtml
uk has its faults, just as every country has, but compared to many people we are the lucky ones in the uk ..
I agree completely Peter.
Here, in my Purok, and also in Dumaguete, things have become much worse since I arrived.
Rice up almost 50%
Cooking oil up by a ridiculous amount......
...and of course, the only foods most of these people can - sorry - could - afford - is rice!
I cite a mere 2 examples.........I could go on.
I wish I could help these people - and I could - to a certain extent - but, where does one begin and end? Indeed, how can I 'save' people who LITERALLY have no money?
I live a life of luxury here (comparatively speaking) but I do feel SO sorry for my neighbours and friends.
I do jest about the price of cigs and beer - but - truth be told - I get rather upset at the plight of these poor people.......and yes, it is bloody HOT here.
Anyone any answers?

Before I went to London was £1.04.99 per litre.........
Three and a half weeks later it jumped to £1.13.99....
It ain't worth driving to work anymore, it costs me 12 quid a day just to get to the office.....

What would we do without you, huh...???
£12 a day to go to work, just on diesel, well did you know it is legal to use upto 1500 lts per annum of biofuel (used cooking oil) without paying any tax. Please google Dr.Diesel, ok no knowledge how to clean the oil, use fresh still cheaper than diesel, some cars run fine on straight cooking oil such as my citreon 2.1 others not. I n the summer most diesel motors will easily run on q 10:1 ratio saving a considerable amount of wonga, in the winter you may need a stronger diesel to veg oil combi say 3 lts diesel to 10 lts veg oil.
I have been using this for the last 21/2 years was really happy they made it legal to use 1500 lts a year, check it out there is loads of info on the net.
or just get a job with a company petrol card
If my car's engine was of an older type or a Perkins, I would have done it a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately it is one of those all singing all dancing supa-dupa turbo thinghies... Too posh for cooking oil.... It will clog its arteries like cholesterol....
Wouldn't mind trying the new extra clean fuel tho....

my friend is struggling with a question on it
I know ABOUT it Joe. That everything in the Universe has gravity - like the sun's gravity is what keeps all our planets in place/orbit.do you know newtons theory of "Universal Gravitation" AL
my friend is struggling with a question on it
However, calculating with his theory - inverse proportionality etc.. may be beyond me now.
