    STOP PINS! PAY WITH CASH.
    Cash - something to think about:
    - A "no cash" society means NO CASH MONEY anymore, zero or 0.0.
    - This does NOT mean “almost cashless” or “a little extra cash here and there”.
    - No cash means fully digital, fully traceable and fully controlled.
    - May be those who want a full "no cash" society are unaware of what this entails
    A “no-cash” society means:
    - No cash payments for your groceries at the market.
    - No more garage sales.
    - No more cash for the homeless, street musicians, or percussionists.
    - No more cash euros from grandpa and grandma for your child's report .
    - No more cash in a birthday card for your father, mother, brother, sister, friends, neighbours or nephews.
    - No more piggy bank and tooth fairy pots for your kids.
    - No more selling your stuff from attic clearances.
    - Less choice on what to buy based on affordability.
    What a "no-cash-money" company guarantees you:
    - that the bank has full control over your money
    - that every transaction is registered
    - that all your actions and movements are traceable .
    Stop with pin payments and pay in cash again!
    When war breaks out, your bank card will be useless . Internet is down, digital transactions will stop, so you can't use your money . The example is 2,000 km away .

    I asked my wife, "What's your opinion on the state of Southampton Football Club?"

    "It's ****ing ****," she replied, "absolute crap."

    "More than likely," I said, "but let's hear it anyway."

    Just coming back from my walk, I cut down the side of St Mark’s church to get from Archers Road to Milton Road, when I spotted a traffic warden/parking warden/ whatever they are called now checking parked cars for permits.
    Me: There’s a car parked illegally in Archers Road, if you want to catch it.
    TW: I’ve been up Archers Road already.
    Me: It’s just pulled up and both the driver and passenger got out and were stood chatting to a guy on the pavement. It’s up to you.

    I carried on walking home.
    Do you think I should have told him that it was a police car? :emoticon-0130-devil:emoticon-0130-devil:emoticon-0130-devil

    You should have told him there were two people doing cunning stunts.

    I live in a cul de sac and there are daytime parking restrictions due to being near Bournemouth University. Last year outside those restrictions my dad visited and rather than park on the drive he parked in front with two wheels on the curb. Got a ticket. A week later a Police car was visiting a neighbour and parked in exactly the same way. I reported it - didn’t say it was a Police car. The warden showed up on his bike and found the Policeman and actually asked him to move it off the curb.

    if it is dangerous for a citizen it is dangerous for the law makers.

    Hence the joke: What's the difference between a hedgehog and a police car?

    I was walking my dog through the park today when a warden came to me and said, "There's a £50 fine for dogs who foul the footpath."

    "Well that's not going to bother him," I replied pointing to my dog, "he's never got any money."

    Dear god, Nick Cave's eldest son, Jetro has died.

    How much heartache can one family go through. Dreadful.

    I nearly went to bed with one of those Lady Boys. It was only when we got to her place and she reversed her car into a parking space first time I thought hang on a minute.

    I am starting a business to teach short people maths.

    It's called making the little things count.

    Mrs No7 and I laugh at how competitive we are.

    But I laugh more.
