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.

Alex Youngs (ex Everton and Stockport County......the Golden Vision)GAY BAR in Dundee......



word is Alex works behind the bar now and again.

Max - 54019 is a very interesting read ..... however, it should not be forgotten that the french also have a very heavy taxation system across the board, including a punitive wealth tax on all possessions

neither should it be forgotten than france now has unemployment levels running at a record 10% ...... heavy taxation will no doubt have played its part in this

Alex Young? he was brilliant one of the many outstanding players of the 60's.

Lets face it Alf, your just a cheap o when it comes down to it.

Every picture tells a story don't it. GF the internet gay bar trawler, oh duckie! LOL!!!

You are going to have to do better than that knob head. The Golden Vision is now 77yrs of age, I doubt he would be interested in gay bars. Now you, who knows?

Yep he was a great goal poacher.

Tory Blair?... Tories really scraping the barrel if they have to bring him into it -):

I always thought he was a tory in poor disguise.

Would fit in nicely with the present Cameron motley crew.

The real face of Con Party below.

Scotland, Scotland!!!!

you're right stan, for i don't use an nhs dentist, almost never go to the doctor and my annual psa check is done privately .... further, my children were never a strain on the state education system .... nor have i ever claimed benefits (my pension and winter fuel allowance just appear out of the ether) nor sought council housing .... and i pay all my taxes with nothing hidden offshore, whether in property or anything else

all in all, i am a model citizen after whom all should aspire :-)

============

indeed, it is aspiration in all fields that should be encouraged, even if it means that some will inevitably fail ..... and yes, we all know that that is anathema to the do-gooders nowadays

regular and competitive sport has now almost completely fallen by the wayside in state schools - but someone has to lose (oh weep weep) - and it is the sports clubs that have (been obliged?) taken on that role

Cynic you used NHS DIRECT before you went on holiday.........JUST IN CASE........nudge nudge wink wink.


Having said that if youve paid dont be afraid.

Its your right.

I note that I have not received a new years present from you Alf

So as you seem to be flushed enough with the ackers by going private in your health requirements my choice of pressy is this.




Thank you in advance -):

Competitive sports fell by the wayside in the 1960's. Endorsed by left wing nutters who high on God knows what had this crazy notion that in the school play ground if you were not picked to play in the school football team you were a victim. The fact you were actually crap at footie was immaterial. So incentive to actually improve not an option.

"regular and competitive sport has now almost completely fallen by the wayside in state schools - but someone has to lose (oh weep weep)"

Thats because Local Authorities starved of funds by the Tories have had to sell off school playing fields to balance budgets.

Always the same under the Tories "we'l look after our own" F the rest.

Manuel,

You belong in the thirties with the rest of blue rinse brigade and the neo-fascists of the tory right wing. The world has moved on and society has changed and is more socially aware and mutually responsible than you would seem to wish.

Have there been weaknesses in the social and economic developments over last 50-60 years?

Were mistakes made in "public" and "private" services and businesses?

Yes of course.

Sensible action would be, firstly to understand the roots of the "failings" and "mistakes" made, but, also to understand the "underlying intentions, or goals " of the poor actions taken.

Then to address them.

That is done by modification of the "systems", not their whole scale destruction with the return to outdated ideologies.
