Like I said, dismissed as a fool.

My dad once told me to look at a beggar’s shoes & socks. He went on to explain that shoes and socks tell you how poor a person is. He expanded on that to basically say a really poor person is obviously poor. There are many street beggars are scamming. Most you’ll spot, some you won’t. I had...

Are all beggars druggies? How you behave towards charities is entirely up to you. The question posed was “space travel - good or bad.” I gave my views. Some agree, partly agree, some sort of disagree and some vehemently disagree. And the world keeps turning. There’s no point me repeating...

It’s always someone else’s problem, and I have no problem with you conflating the issue, of spinning it to satisfy yourself. I genuinely don’t care about your answers. But how many times have you put a £5, a £10, a £20 in a beggar’s bowl? Genuinely, how many times have you emptied your wallet...

until world poverty is addressed I find spending billions on space travel obscene. Sort the problems here on earth before whizzing off in a tin can. There is undoubtedly global benefit to space science but will it improve the life of millions living in poverty now? NO! Are our priorities right...

$10,999 for the top final ticket:eek: 90 mins, possibly 120mins + penalties entertainment for $11k. Then your cup of Bovril and a pie…

Humans, as an animal, have evolved to live on earth. Some might want to live in a goldfish bowl on the moon, but until the earth is too crowded I wouldn’t rush there. If there’s a commercial reason to be there, fine. Okay, there’s valid reason for developing the means to explore and create a...

I’d look closely into your playing partner’s bags. If you’ve hit to 3 feet, they’ve a vested interest in removing it. As @pokerjoke and @upsidedown can testify, Rick Garg helped himself to my wedge at Hillside several years ago under similar circumstances. A fantastic day in great company...

Mrs H’s reaction to sprouts…:sick: Man down, MAN DOWN!

Doing a quick conversion, I can get 3 pints, I’d fall over on 3, with free tapas with each pint for €11.40, around £9.50…

The price of fish & chips in the U.K. and here regularly shocks me. I can remember standing in the chippy in a very poor part of Middlesbrough. A tanner, 6d, for chips and a shilling for fish. Queues out of the door Friday tea time. I very much doubt that families in the poor areas can cough up...

The Whooper at Burger King is £11.99. Add a few bits to that and you’re close on £15 a pop. Mad! I’m paying €8.50 for, probably, the best burger in town, and €3.80 for a pint of Stella to wash it down. That’s around £10 all in.

I don’t disagree with you but if we say only best should qualify, then surely the three you’ve used as an example, and Sweden, should qualify ahead of the likes of Qatar & Cape Verde…

Mrs H hates it. But that’s because for a few days I alter the odd clock an hour or so either way. Apparently, I’m just bloody stupid. Well, she’s right occasionally… :ROFLMAO:

They fear here more! :ROFLMAO:
