It's the bastards with the nuclear weapons and no regard for international co-operation I worry about.

Was the same for Christians when they were poor. The middle class Muslims I work with have typical (small) families.

Are you suggesting that people have stopped breeding because they can't afford a mortgage? During the era of big wage increases and full employment, when the likes of my parents could buy a 3 bed semi the likes of which were beyond my grasp at an equivalent age, the birth rate plummeted (see...

Yep. Been obvious for a while. (Brace yourself for Timelord backlash incoming :lolol: )

JPV had no problem not so long ago

My younger brother had one nightmare relationship when he was young and decided 'enough's enough'. That was 40 years ago. (I also rearrange all the laundry when the missus hangs it out; but that issue is now largely irrelevant because I do all the laundry. I have some terrible habits of my own...

It is a classic phenomenon of increased wealth. Regardless of all the stuff we hear about poverty, a majority live lives now with opportunity undreamt of during the 1960s or 70s. The one glaring exception is home ownership for first time buyers. That aside.... we have never had it so good. And...

Hungary, you say? ??? I can think of one or two things that tax breaks could be used for assistance. Breeding isn't one of them. Aside from anything else, we have a housing shortage. I presume you want taxes to be increased in order to subsidise some sort of communist house building scheme to...

Those are two autistic traits. I am very much the same. I have learned to tolerate other people's deviance at home, to a degree, but if the missus moves books around in the book shelves, I have to move them again so I feel I know where they are. Everything has to be accessible, which means...

Yes you were, Dicky. Yes you were.

The second picture lacks sting.

I did the same for the ceiling when I was having my last two MRI scans, waiting to be moved into the magnet. Very intricate pattern. The trick is not to count all the lines or squares. I counted 100 lines, then eyeballed how much space that occupied. Then I scaled up to approximate blocks of...

Mate......

OK. So, I could list dozens of this shit.... Petrol stations. On match day I won't look at the cost until the filling cuts off. Then the £ and pence will tell me what the score will be. Brighton are always the £. Obviously the score won't be 37-15. So I add the integers. That example would end...

Photos of iconic goal celebrations (the best is in the middle)

Remind me to not comment on posts till I have read the replies :lolol: (I do love the 'delete post' feature - my premature comment is now......deleted!).

The answer to that particular question is 'no, you are not allowed this side of the bar'. And if you're feeling a little bit 'Ange', you can shoe-horn a 'mate' in there somewhere.

We already have one. It's called the Patron Subscription. This allows us to vent with like-minded people, and edit or delete occasionally inappropriate flights of fancy. Like when I selected "Everyone is a cu*t except me", by Judy Rainbow as my track of the day last week. :facepalm:
