UK median income is 27,000, so the poverty line begins at 1350 per month?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I don't think I'd like that much, but is that poverty? Really?

Gas, electricity, food, travel and council tax on top of that and what do you have left?

[Dorset Gooner]

amount in Sir C's post.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Poverty doesn't mean 'not having a grand a week to blow having fun', it means struggling to obatin 2,000 calories a day.

[Pat Vegas]

I may actually have to stop

[Dorset Gooner]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Pat Vegas]

I sometimes get the under the counter ones but it's a bit of a hassle now I moved.

[Dorset Gooner]

still money down the drain granted but I get to drive it rather than smoke it, plus I'm only polluting the air not me :cloud9:

For someone so obsessed with civilisation you do have some rather medieval views

What exactly is the minimum you've decided people must earn, and what is the exact maximum people are allowed to earn?

come out of their computers. I thought it was a nice idea for a novelty act, but it wore a bit after 5 minutes; I'd say it's funny for the first 30 seconds, then a bit dull.

Maybe they could do something with clown's shoes and a ladder?

(it involves going up some stairs and coming down a diffrent flight of stairs) to make a considerable saving when buying fags.

When next I am in Belgium I'll f**k off to Switzerland to buy fags :thumbup:

See, the thing is, back in the day rich people weren't all bad and some were even quite nice. This stuff was mostly developed by the Rowntreees of York.

Or was that The Orb? :rubchin: Same thing, anyway.

I imagine, like all true conservatives, you're much more a fan of the absolute variation.

[Berni]

Doesn't mean he's actually poor, though, does it?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Oh. You run on the flat, do you? :hehe:

Honestly, there is something very punchable about Damien Allbran.

See Dr Dee, his 'opera'.

[Berni]

much of the world, such is their calorific intake, access to healthcare, education, access to luxuries, etc, etc.

That they may be poor compared to other westerners isn't really germane.

Tremendous live act I have to say.

As are The Orb.

In fact The Orb, :bow:.

These slopes you run on must be quite the gradient?

I think they got better with time and Plastic Beach was their best.

Sadly next time out (The Fall??) was poor.

I was one of the apparently few people who greatly liked The Good, The Bad and The Queen. A little down and melancholy at times but then so if life.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I may go on the sick. Bad knees.

You should be in a controlled environment.

[Snin]

and mean nothing im afraid.

to burn 1500 calories you need to do minimum hour and a half at a good pace and would be minimum 10 miles..anything else your machine tells you is *******s..you havent even got any wind resistance!

get a hear rate monitor if you that worried about calories imo

but tbh just dont try and eat as many calories as it says you lose, thats all otherwise you'd get fat. but good for you for going running at all sir c, all exercise is good , keep it up

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm fitter than I have been in 20 years. It feels rather good.

[Snin]

the heart as much good afer all the years abuse but it does feel mighty good. I don't enjoy the moments when you think jeezus if I'd done this at 17 years old I'd have played for Arsenal / rugby for wales / won the olympics / climbed everest / beaten Eubank... I could have been a contender etc.. but I guess its nicer to wonder and dream than have been dropped / broken neck / underfunded / died / brain damaged :hehe:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I hated running then though. Absolutely hated training.
