Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

My requests will be so small, I hope nobody will notice and I can sell that to the party.

I will just fag along behind them. Nobody will notice me!

One of the biggest issues in the UK or it should be is to stem the (illegal) drug culture that has got a grip on certain aspects of our society......these drugs change peoples personalities and something happens to their comportment, behaviour and general manners.....not picking out a certain lady being escorted off a plane (not saying drugs) but .....it's this sort of thing that happens...people go off the rails....cannabis, pot or whatever you call it is wrecking lives, their lives and the lives of people around them....and some nutcases want to legalise some of it.....blinkin' nuts !....these drugs effect you way after stopping use...the mind goes....

Is criminalising "said drugs" reducing the use, or the abuse of these "drugs", or simply diverting money into "criminalised" activity, or the hands of criminals?


Mind, I wouldn't mind seeing Dodgy Dave and Porky George being prosecuted for past
activities!

Previous habits might explain their present behaviour.

Banning them is one thing....but educating and making people aware of what lies ahead when you start using, breathing this stuff is a must.....this should start at school.....because it seems to me that young people just don't realise what it does to them....their attitude is : "a sort of once or twice doesn't matter".....but the consequences are terrible......I've seen changes in peoples character,.....and a downward spiral begins....

by and large, children have never taken huge notice, for they know they are immortal and of course there is much peer pressure

however, i'm sure every school has some sort of drugs' education and many ex-serious-users and similar often give lectures

to my surprise, i think it is alcohol that is at least as much if not more of a problem

face facts its not the drugs or booze its no law . the nanny state is the problem
bring back punishment birch those breaking the law ever Saturday at football matches before and half time . that would stop crime
do not blame alcohol or drugs . get back to law and order .

wh do people always blame the tools its the user

MrT - if children are not taught about alcohol (and drug) abuse, much of which should come from the parents, then there is some inevitability in the outcome

a parallel is that violent and abusive households are likely to produce the same in the children, who will see such behaviour as the norm and therefore acceptable

Obama poking is big nose and big mouth in to uk membership of the eu

the man is a racist he has turned the states in to a shit hole
a man with no balls no guts a wimp .
the sooner the shit is gone the better

Hey, what were your parents like?

cynic if their was punishment their parents would never have broken the law
that's the problem . if breaking the law and rules is not dealt with then you see the results

unfortunately, your simplistic solution is easily shown to be no solution at all!

Is English a foreign language to you laddy?

So you think the birch is the answer to everything, do you? It's high time you had a good thrashing with the birch for being so utterly lazy with your spelling and grammar.

Now get to the back of the class! And when you get there, take the Dunce's Cap out of the cupboard and you can stay in the corner for the rest of the day.

In fact, one more incorrectly spelt word from you and you will get 6 of the birch on your arse every day for the next month.

The birch, or indeed violence of any kind is never the magic answer to any problem.

Many Labour supporters feel relieved the party is not in power under Ed Miliband, the acting leader, Harriet Harman, has said.

In a frank assessment, Harman said Miliband’s personal performance and lack of trust towards the party on the economy “combined together” to contribute to the election defeat.

Her analysis counters the argument made by some of Miliband’s allies that his election bid failed because “lazy Labour” supporters did not turn out to vote.

Sometimes, simple solutions are very effective.

I suggest anyone making a mistake should be hanged.

Soon there would not be anyone making mistakes!

A perfect world would be realised.

How they make your lunchtime sarnie: It's very hands-on at Britain's biggest sandwich factory, where migrant workers help churn out THREE MILLION a week
Greencore sandwich factory in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, gets through 300,000 loaves of bread every week
Three million sandwiches are made by army of 2,000 workers who use their bare hands to put together your lunch
Sandwiches are sold at chain stores ranging from M&S and the Co-op to Sainsbury’s, Asda and Boots
Half of the company's workers are from outside the UK, and many at the 24-hour factory are Polish agency workers

What rubbish you spout and what a trashy, tabloid, headline-grabbing, scare-mongering article you've just read.

The company's employee's hands look clean enough to me and, from what I can read of it, there's not too much wrong with the company's handwashing rules too.

eg. If an employee touches their face, then they should stop work and go and re-wash their hands.

There is also an explanation how one of the reasons for the 'bare hands' approach, is that employees can more easily tell if their hands are contaminated and should be re-washed.

Half of the NHS employees are from outside the UK too, you idiot!

ex, preparing food should not be mauled by unprotected hands its dirty
if you are happy to eat them then that's up to you I will not .
remember this these people are at the conveyor for hours
and cross contamination .the pictures make me feel sick

the pictures are their for all to see and I know what most people will think and do

chefs in all restaurants also work with bare hands, as of course do we all in our own kitchens

cynic , yes but being a chef would give them common sense and educated people
not low paid people who are only their for the money . chefs are professionals
