This is where he lives. I live on the other side of the fjord. Living with socialism is tough. :rolleyes:

Top marks for eschewing the obvious masturbation based picture though.

Personally I'm all for lots of lovely leave. So long as you can pay for it. :shrug:

Our leave system is totally irresponsible. I obviously don't blame people for taking it, I had paternity leave too, but we're spending money in this country like drunken sailors.

as Brentwood lives on an isolated peninsula far away from People, but I've heard it's quite nice. ;-)

periods of time. The culture of working 8-4, or 3 on a friday, having coffee and cake breaks all the time means productivity is much lower than i am use to

still :deckchair:

I'll meet you there for a beer

When does the oil run out?

[Luis Anaconda]

[Guns 'n' Roses]

the oil reserves I mean. Another 100 years maybe?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

How come we haven't got heaps of filthy lucre? :cry:

[Guns 'n' Roses]

In my opinion, it's obsolete. I love my kids above anything else on this earth, but spending time with them 24-7 when they were babies: waste of time. I would much more have wanted to do that when they were 12.

Our oil money is not spent. It is invested. But our oil generates jobs and industry. The social benefits are due to our very high tax regime. Tax on income, tax on cars, tax on petrol, tax on booze, tax on fags.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It sounds ghastly. :-(

[Curly]

You left out :giro:

[Guns 'n' Roses]

Lots and lots of social benefits, and lots and lots of people taking advantage of it.

Immigrants cannot believe their own eyes. "What? I can just walk down to the welfare Office, tell them I don't have work, and they'll give me money?" :hehe:
