I could probably give you a run for your money on language, the bad variety that is but I'm too refined (not). I take my view on people from my Mrs these days having been with her a long time. Now I wouldn't tell her she had any influence cause I wouldn't want to sound too sloppy if you know what I mean. My Mrs will talk to anyone and by that I mean anyone. From a tramp in the street to a noble type. She sees no difference in anybody and as far as she is concerned they are just people. I didn't used to be like that I admit but have mellowed over the years. We were sat in town one day with my Mum giving her some time in the sunshine on that day. A bloke came and sat next to her who was lets say acting like a good newt for politeness. She looked at him and said you have had a good day by the look of you or is it everyday for you? He was quite a big bloke and I shrank about 2 feet thinking he would not be too friendly. He laughed and they started up a conversation where she told him all about the evils of drink and he would kill himself. He chatted away for about 20 minutes and never even swore once. He then got up, gave her a hug and said he was off to buy a few cans but thanks for the chat it was really nice to meet you. Point is she is always like that and I've got used to it now. She would say a crook is a crook however they are dressed and probably tell most of them they were as well. As for the long winded comments from me sometimes, I got used to doing reports and having to spell it out rather than cut it short for the intelligencia in the upper floors. That was both Navy wise and after so I sort of can't get away from the habit. Short is good though and the meaning is the same however few words used.
Well your a lucky man sensible to have a wife like that, good she can talk to any one. my partner is so quiet and will not say any thing to any one.. only me. I am not one for writing long comments as you can see, my grammar is not great, messed about to much at school! I like it to be short and sweet!!! or not so sweet in my language. Yes i agreed Sensible you are refined?? i had to look that word up Mrs lala, manchi over Fergi.. they are both old men
Yes but I couldn't fit a boiler or plumb in a sink so each to their own. I can't imagine what it would be like living with a quiet woman. Must be bleddy heaven. I just read out your comment about "refined" to my Mrs and her immediate response was "Sugar is refined and too much of that will kill you" so I guess it isn't that good.
I don't think I follow the "where's all the money gone" question Sensible. It's been a long long time since "money" consisted of notes & coins. Half the countries around the world were effectively spending more than they earned and the previous Labour government was amongst the worst alongside Greece, Ireland, Portugal & Spain. What was it? Borrowing £1 in every £4 they spent? It's the switch from borrowing like that to trying to pay some of it back that's painful. Nobody ran off with any money, apart from Gordon Brown & Ed Balls who borrowed on your behalf in an attempt to buy your vote......
Oh dear, now we're onto politics Actually I agree with you (partly) Distant in that the last Labour government were a shambles but then Gordon Brown (the worst offender IMO) was never elected by the British people was he....any more than the joke that is Nick Cleg.
Nice to see your sitting on the fence over this notDistant.......although this Government is scaring some of it's supporters with how much it is borrowing at present.......but that is because of the terrible debts left by the previous administration......how long can they use that excuse,
Nick Clegg's shower have taken away the only alternative there is for me to vote against Boris's little brother where i live.......I think I will read up more on UKIP to see what they really stand for other than exit the EU....which I am all for........of course supporting PAFC should mean voting green.......but that is just a silly unelectable joke.
Plymborn Usually when politicians blame their predecessors it's a matter of opinion [or a downright lie]. In this case, the yawning gap between income & expenditure by Gordon Brown & Ed Balls is a definite fact. Unfortunately, unless anyone wants even sharper cuts, it's going to take a long time to turn this particular supertanker around.
What a knob Ed balls is! It makes no difference who we vote for they are all the same.. greedy thieves. What party is boris's brother Plym? tory? Take it you don't like them? Bring back Maggie??
joe..... Shipped into a safe seat.......big brother Boris probably had to show him ( Joe Johnson) on a map where Orpington was.....so he could come down to be selected.....fat chance the other candidates had. Please don't start me on Thatcher.......15 engineering firms down our by-pass..... was turned into 1 in her time .......now we have to buy foreign. Please don't take me as left wing.......I've lived in a Tory dominated area for over 40 years and have seen how they treat the peasants.......so I've always voted for the best chance to beat them......which generally meant Lib Dem........but they have completely blown it now.......the recent bye-elections have shown that. Mayby UKIP will profit from disenchanted voters. Sorry Mrs LaLa........I know this subject sends you to sleep.......blame notDistant he started this thread.
I'm lost now. You mean when we borrowed money nobody actually gave us any????? If that's the case then we haven't to pay anybody back then. It's no good trying to explain non-money money cause it just sounds like a fairy tale. In my day if you borrowed a quid you had one note to show for it in your hand. When you paid it back then the lender had one in his hand. If everything is just cyber money then switch off the cyber world and start again. Simples.
Its only a cyber world for the freaks in suits Sensible, the rest of us work or worked for a living!!
But my master plan is brilliant and foolproof joe. Shoot down the Satelites and the whole world will go tits up and nobody will know who owes what to who anymore. We all start with a blank sheet and the pound (real one) you have in your pocket will be worth a pound again. I should apply for the job of Chancellor I'd be brilliant at it. We could tell Starbucks that they are a nationalised company along with google and the others that refuse to pay for being here as well and sod the lack of taxes just pocket the whole profits. See, that's two problems sorted already.
