I tell you what Clive, people complain about parents not being given enough help, but

15 hours a week free childcare once they are three years old (two years old for lower income families) seems pretty f**king helpful to me :shrug:

These 'lower income' people. How do they obtain the requisite permit to spawn if they are unable to support the offspring by their own efforts?

There must be a loophole in the system, I suppose.

twice a month, coz the bugger costs a lot to fill up with fuel

Three of my cars are due for servicing in the same month, it's going to cost me a fortune. Luckily, the governement is going to take money off you to give to me because I decided to drive expensive motor vehicles, so that's ok.

Oh.

I may even be buried in it.

His mother was born in Germany, if that helps

;-) Just my little joke. You have many good years left in you.

[Berni]

Bad blood will out, you see?

Actually, orthodox Jewish communities and Islamic communities do have much higher levels of physical and mental incapacity due to their tiny gene pools.

[Monty91]

[Classic Jorge]

Surely that's what they're supposed to do in any good capitalist economy.

I mean, the sensible thing would be to enact a law creating decent, low-cost pre-schooling for children and make it available across the board.

Instead we have another hybrid fudge which suits nobody, except companies of course.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

D'you know, despite eating an drinking my own bodyweight for 4 weeks, such was the degree of hill-walking and beach-running, I actually lost weight. I cannot tell you how much this pleases me.

On the other hand, I am seriously craving chips, fried eggs and big, solid lumps of meat. And bread, and sausages and stews and PROPER BLOODY FOOD! So I will shortly be as fat as a pig.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

All you f**king do is moan.

[Classic Jorge]

I'm just pleased to see you back

[Berni]

my clothes and am running 6 miles a day, so how bad can it be?

I've gone mad for soup, lately. Had a flask of cream of fennel I made earlier. Lovely stuff.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Perhaps you could come with, next time?

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Rice and curry. Three times a day. Rice and curry, rice and curry, rice and curry.

NOT, you may note, curry and rice, but rice and curry.

[Berni]

It was all tea, tea, tea, occasional bit of wildlife, more tea.

I'm sure there must have been more to it, but these were the bits my glw showed me from Facebook.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They are a private matter between myself and my friends on Facebook.

Like a lesbian with a dildo, having made your choice, you cannot expect to still have a cake option.

Can you imagine nibbling on a hand? :-(

[Classic Jorge]

I stayed at a place with four monkeys in Thailand. I called them Davy, Mickey, Mike and Peter.

Sadly Mickey choked on a cigarette.

This is why you shouldn't teach monkeys to smoke.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The omnivores would taste rank :-(

[Ashberto]

[Classic Jorge]

If the monkey had nicked me tabs I'dve hoyed it in the sea.

length trousers of a type that I associate with the likes of RCEG.
