THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Yes iturama it would appear so, but when you have individuals like fred
throwing around false accusations in their efforts to blacken someones
character or insinuate that they have committed a crime because they don't
agree with their views, and then evade/ignore the need to provide, clarify
the evidence that were indicated in freds implication that Nigel Farage had
committed a crime ...

Fred1new - 05 Jan 2017 19:08 - 75633 of 81564

Are you guilty of projection?

Perhaps, I don't think you merit the effort of me replying.

jimmy b - 05 Jan 2017 21:47 - 75634 of 81564

And no one here needs to listen to your constant rubbish either Fred .

grannyboy - 05 Jan 2017 21:54 - 75635 of 81564

Put simply, you are not replying because you don't have anything to reply with,
you're only too ready to throw shit at the fan and see where it sticks, but cannot
justify your insinuations/allegations....

Fred1new - 05 Jan 2017 22:17 - 75636 of 81564

Are you claiming psychic powers or just projecting your own problems?

Fred1new - 05 Jan 2017 22:21 - 75637 of 81564

Hmmm? Is this a very, very silly woman or wot?

Check out: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4093994/British-mother-26-jailed-Bahrain-strict-Sharia-laws-accused-cheating-husband-beat-tried-leave-country.html

IMHO: Very, VERY silly for marrying a Muslim in the first place and then ultra stupid for going out to Bahrain to live with him.

A family story:

Around 25 years or so ago my cousin's daughter fell in love with a good looking Muslim Libyan youth whom she first met at Uni. GREATLY against her family's wishes, she married him and then went out to Libya to live with him. She had a small job teaching English out there and quite quickly the couple had a little boy.

Of course, I guess we have to understand how she was so initially madly in love with this gorgeous looking guy, utterly smitten, and only believed in some kind of fairy tale 'happily ever after' type-dream happening with him.

Her husband used to go out without telling her where or what he was doing. She objected to this behaviour, because she could not do anything like the same sort of thing herself. He would hear nothing by way of criticism and continually explained how it was his right to do such things as a Muslim man and that it was merely her duty to look after the child and their home.

This was Libya and he was a Muslim. So not so! She was now expected to behave like a mere Muslim woman and walk behind her husband, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

My cousin's husband and his son (her brother) concocted a very skillful plan to rescue her and her baby, went out to the area and quite unbelievably, were able to bring them both back home. Amazing!

Her husband knew he couldn't do anything about what had now happened and didn't even bother trying.

Well, she had a gorgeous little boy and so apart from the Muslim husband, I guess everybody went on and lived happily ever after.

But daft or wot?

cynic - 06 Jan 2017 11:20 - 75643 of 81564

she's just a fool, not so much for marrying this libyan chap, but in thinking that she could live in bahrain and act like she was living in watford

In Salford, Manchester, women have been shopping in Tesco's whilst still wearing their night wear clothing (eg, pyjamas, dressing gowns, nighties).

Some of the customers and also some of the Tesco staff got quite affronted by such behaviour and one guy photographed some of pertinent shoppers from behind and popped the shots up on Facebook.

Now there are rules about taking such photographs (how, where and when and of who) and what you can do with them afterwards (what, where and how) and also rules about who owns the copyright of the photographs (the photographer, the shoppers or even, say Facebook).

Here are some interesting legal opinions on it:

https://inews.co.uk/essentials/news/uk/tesco-shoppers-pyjamas-criticised-facebook-rules-around-taking-photos-public-uploading/

Most of us these days have a modern mobile phone with camera facilities.

Are you familiar with what you can and cannot photograph and if, when and how you can use the shots afterwards?

Let's say you see such as the following:

1. A man with his dog on the lead letting the dog defecate on the pavement.
2. A man urinating in your garden.
3. Kids in a farmer's field being visciously cruel to sheep.
4. A person dropping litter in the park.
5. A kid dropping litter in the children's part of the park.
6. A group of children (eg. 8-10 yrs old boys) in a very bad state of undress (ie. partly naked) in the park, but possibly getting ready to do football training.
7. Driving past a car accident on the M1 round about the exact time that it is happening.
8. Driving past a car accident on the M1 which happened, say roughly 30 minutes ago.
9. You are behind a vehicle which, say has obviously extremely problematical rear suspension.
10. You are travelling along the M1 and get yourself behind a white van. The rear door opens and an occupant starts urinating out of the back of the van.

Questions:

A. From the above scenarios, what can you take a photograph of and what can't you?
B. Having taken your photograph of any and each the above, what can you and what can you not do with it?
C. Some of the above are a bit obvious. eg. It's a bit daft to get your camera out whilst you are driving down the M1 and take a picture of someone urinating out the back of a van in front of you. But could your passenger do it for you?

Another great idea being proposed for Scotland.





The Scottish pioneer whose plan for a basic income could transform Britain

Support is growing for an idea that used to be considered eccentric


Kevin McKenna

Sunday 8 January 2017 00.05 GMT



In the city where Adam Smith developed the free-market theories that inspired Thatcherism nearly 300 years later, a young Labour politician is pursuing an economic vision that takes a drastically different approach to “the wealth of nations”. Councillor Matt Kerr, an anti-poverty specialist on Glasgow city council, has been exploring how people become enslaved by poverty – and how they can escape it.

A meeting in Glasgow last month with Guy Standing, the radical economist who founded the Basic Income Earth Network, inspired Kerr to seek cross-party support to pilot a “universal basic income” in parts of Fife and Glasgow. He acknowledges that these are very early days and that there are many obstacles ahead, but the move makes him the most senior incumbent politician in Britain to contemplate a radical scheme that only a few years ago was considered beyond the political pale.

What do expect from a FAR LEFT political mouthpiece, backing a Labour no mark,
advocating the proliferation of squandering taxpayers money...

There was a program on ch4 i believe, either last year or the year before
where they gave 4 or 5 people/families an amount of money(to replace their
weekly benefits) and to do as they wished, ie start own business and be more industrious..

Most went on a spending spree and others took weeks to decide, but were
still having to use the capital to live off and pay bills, one of them bought a
van but didn't/could'nt drive, with the intention of starting a secondhand-
carboot sale..

The end result wasn't too encouraging...

grannyboy - 09 Jan 2017 16:39 - 75648 of 81564

If anyones interested in a share that has great growth potential(who
hasn't), then you should take a serious look at Satallite Solutions Worlwide
group(SAT).

They provide broadband where its not available by the usual means/suppliers.

Could be a star performer in 2017?..

Swiss Muslim girls must attend mixed-sex swimming lessons
Tuesday 10 January 2017

Muslim extremists/fundamentalists are not going to like this one!

Switzerland has won a case at the European court of human rights over its insistence that Muslim parents send their children to mixed-sex school swimming lessons.

The parents in the case argued that their beliefs did not allow their children to take part in mixed-sex lessons.

However, the court rules, that Swiss authorities did not violate right to freedom of religion in rejecting parents’ request for exemption.

Hmmm? Extremely important case this, IMHO. As well as saying how important it is for safety reasons to teach your kids to swim, it sets an example about social integration being more important than religious teaching. Lots of Imams are surely going to be pretty pee'ed off about this.

Fred1new - 10 Jan 2017 13:24 - 75650 of 81564

Exec,

I would also suggest banning of single-sex schools in the UK. (10+% at the moment.)

But read this first :

Make the Imams go to mixed sex swimming lessons then. Just as long as they dont do their peeing in the pool.
