  1. [quote user="Mr Coeur de Lion"][quote user="Dog"]I cannot believe that in this day and age the public are daft enough to persist in allowing self elected aristos to waltz around claiming god given powers. The quicker they are assigned to history the better. Did anyone notice last week in UK on the day the teachers were on strike (claiming the headlines), Parliament whipped through a bill altering the way the Queen gets money? To most of us we are in a recession, but I bet it results in a whacking pay rise for Royalty PLC UK.[/quote]

    I bet the Queen would also like to retire, [/quote] Her majesty believes it is her duty to carry on  as Sovereign. She has made this clear over the years. If she did retire it would destroy the magic that keeps the monarchy going.
  2. [quote user="Gardener"]The article also says that the “evidence supports the commission of nonconsensual forced sexual acts.” IF that still remains true, then any woman whether a chambermaid who may have lied to get a visa or the dregs of humanity such as Rose West, they still deserve justice.[/quote]Hear Hear. Even criminals deserve justice. In my opinion any nonconsensual sexual acts are immoral and the perpetrator desrves to be punished.

     

  3. There is rumoured to be an unpublished fourth book on his girlfriend/ partner's  laptop. As there is a legal dispute between her and Larsson's father & brother over inheritance of royalties this is being held back until the dispute is resolved. A friend of larsson believes that his girlfriend collaborated to a large extent in writing the books. 
  4. [quote user="JohnM"]I think the majority of Christians, Muslims, Hindu etc etc etc are decent caring folk who find that their religion helps them through life's difficult decisions and guides them well. The trouble is the extremists and the politically motivated folk who use/distort religion to order to manipulate the masses.[/quote]In my experience the vast majority of people are decent caring folk regardless of their religion or lack of  it. I believe the ethics put forward by Jesus are very sensible and can be summed up  by saying "Do as you would be done by" which would lead to a very pleasant and fair society if everyone followed that. My problem is that I cannot believe in a supernatural being with the paucity of evidence to support that proposition. However if other do find the evidence convincing then that's fine by me
  5. [quote user="Val_2"]They want to see proof of income on paper and the general rule here is that you cannot borrow any more than one third of your monthly income, whether that has changed I don't know. [/quote]You must want a very small loan or have a very big monthly income[:D] Did you actually mean that your mortgage monthly payment shouldn't be more than a third of your monthly income?

    [quote user="Rabbie"][quote user="Mr Coeur de Lion"]There's as much point in French immobiliers as there is in Belgium. I really think there is too much a big deal made out of the immobiliers fees. This does not exist so much in other countries, it's already in the price of the property. I guess it's the greed of them and the notaires that makes French property seem so expensive (which it isn't really compared to other countries).[/quote]If you think french property is expensive take a look at prices in England. Roughly twice as much as in France[/quote]

     

    Rabbie, it's the agents fees that are more expensive, not the actual price of the property.

    [/quote]I know that. I was replying to CdL comment "French property seem so expensive". Even with high French agent fees property is still much cheaper than in England.
