    Hi Prof Allan, Give my regards to Hanna..... I wish her the happiest birthday ever!.... Nevermind if you give her the simplest gift, what matters most is you're together and happily married. Keep it up!

    It's the THOUGHT that COUNTS not the present itself. Happy Birthday, Hanna.

    Cheers,

    Happy Birthday Hanna - it's not what you get it's who you spend the day with.

    Hoping for a speedy turnaround in fortunes for you Al - or just a fortune.

    Outrageous petrol costs, rising council tax bills, rising gas prices, rising food prices, fuel surcharges, come on down to Gordon Brown's intrepid Britain and help pay for his wars ! come to the country where you live in the land of the Abu's who scrounge from our welfare state funded by the British taxpayer, whilst their ninja dressed wife's pick up £680.00 a week in handouts and live in 5 bedroomed houses subsidised at the expense of the very people who they purport to hate.

    I mean come on....who would want to come and live here...stay there Al if you can, I just filled my car up yesterday, it cost me £72.00 for 58 litres of unleaded petrol, I went to Wendover in Buckinghamshire this morning, I left at 8.30am, I got stuck on the A12 at Brentwood, delayed for 1 hour, I resumed my journey, shot down the M25 to Junction 21A Where I was delayed again for 1 hour while traffic heading up the M1 was narrowed to 1 lane, I then got to Wendover for 11.30am, exactly 3 hours after I left home.

    The journey takes exactly 58 minutes by shortest Sat Nav route, who would want this every day ?

    And every day it is, I then drove back to Brentwood, and got stuck again in traffic heading down to the A13 at Thurrock, I then headed in towards the city, stuck again going to Blackwall, and then down to the South of London, more delays, more traffic, more petrol gone, its costing me £35.00 a day in fuel, only earlier this year it was £20.00 a day, do you really want to come back to all of this.

    Gordon Brown goes off to Saudi Arabia to ask the oil rich royal family to increase production and expand refining capacity, wot Gordon no reduction in fuel duty ?

    2 weeks ago my fuel bill for 1 weeks commercial travelling was £245.00 can you believe it £245.00 I filled up 4 times, over P20,000 in fuel for 1 week, on top of that I paid the congestion charge 4 times, at £8.00 that is £32.00 total costs for that week, £277.00.

    And that is before I start to take in any fees, I mean come on I ask you, who wants a peice of this, and then having to contend with the worlds largest car park, and I can tell you all now, its not going to get any better, we are all in for a rough ride this year, and we are stuck with this cost of living for years to come.

    So for those who want to come to live in Gordon Brown's standard Britain, think again, who would want a peice of the above.

    I'm sure despite what you say Pete, people will still want to come here. The fact that there's a welfare state and irrespective of the increasing cost, most people DO have cars and other luxury goods.

    Yes agree.

    Fuel price rise is worldwide, not just in this country. Wherever you live it will have a bad effect

    Sure it's cheaper to live in PI but if I'm outside in UK and my mobile rings, I can answer it and not go into a panic in case a snatcher hears it.

    I agree with what you said Gavanddal. Beside the welfare state, Western countries are still seen as the 'Big Apple'.
    The migration of people from poor countries will not going to stop. It is a natural cycle, where there is benessere people will migrate and this will go on and on and on.
    It is our human instinct that drives us to search for a greener pasture and seek abundancy in another land to make our lives and those of our family more bearable.

    Never mind mate - my numbers didn't show either. Playing for years and never even had one single number come up!!!

    Pick the same numbers every week: 50 - 52 - 55 - 61 - 63 - 74.
