not much point in teaching a man to fish if you have just netted the only pool he has access to. Self reliance is great - but it was a whole heap better in the past, these days it doesnt matter what your work ethic or education or intelligence is it is all too easy to find yourself flipping...

"- although Sear didnt help by telling Z that she was wrong" m #20 Was she wrong? If not I am eager to post a retraction or clarification. I was being humorous (failed) she was wrong she just didnt like being told she was wrong.

Liz Truss was called to a special PMQs (when MPs can question the PM on recent events) she cried off stating very genuine reasons and sent a repetitive in her place. Oh dear oh dear the sharks are nibbling at her toes

Multiple reports certainly but not multiple sources most of the reports originate from Ukraine officials (it is they who take the reporters around and show them what they want seen - go off track with your reporting and at a minimum you wont be invited on the next sight seeing trip or you...

Is there a sensible ratio? 2:1 people : government ? Rather depends on what the government do with the money doesnt it? If it spends the money on universal health care and the general good of society (roads bridges drainage flood prevention etc etc) that is one thing but if it spends it on...

just in new chancellor (Jeremy Hunt) has announced that all the tax cuts announced by his predecessor are cancelled the sharks are circling and the days of Liz Truss (PM) seem to be numbered and Hunt is now PM in all but name

I feel some responsibility for Oran, (which is what I have known as for a couple of years) I broke my own rule and sent a PM which he seems to have taken as some sort of disparagement (it certainly wasnt intended a such) he almost immediately changed user name (as though I would be struck down...

I think so, it has been around for a very long time I remember playing with it during the 1960s

Yes over the years quite a few interlocuters have suddenly fallen silent, one in particular would routinely post 15-20 posts per day then......nothing and there has been nothing for years. I hope that he awoke one morning and thought "to hell with this" and put the PC away but I doubt it, he had...

I dont really wish to revisit this (covered at the start of the thread) slander - the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation. (libel is much the same only its written not spoken) How did Jones comments damage reputations? almost everyone knew it...

pity, I often think of her and look how great that turned out! Honorable mention to DJ Trump reality show host Doesnt really compare to 5 out of the 6 top jobs being to people directly involved in comedy. If you take a look at the video of Zelensky doing a comedy routine (English subtitles)...
