So, all of you ladies would have been quite happy to have been in Cologne and other European cities at New Year. We see children and families on TV news but most of the immigrants are single young men. What do you expect to happen when many come from a different cultural background and have yet to learn our "rules" regarding respect to others?

I've just looked at replying to the scam posting regarding a fantastic return on investment but can't see a  "reply" button on the posting. Any ideas anyone or do we have to wait for the dyslesic programmer to get back to us?

I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF twitter and facebook  - WHILE STILL APPLYING THE SAME SOCIAL MEDIA PRINCIPLES. IT WORKS LIKE THIS:  EVERY DAY, I GO DOWN THE STREET AND TELL PASSERS-BY WHAT I HAD FOR BREAKFAST, HOW I FEEL, WHAT I HAVE DONE, WHERE I HAD DINNER THE NIGHT BEFORE, WHAT I WILL BE DOING TODAY, AND WHAT I THINK ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHING.  I GIVE THEM PICTURES OF MY FAMILY, MY DOG AND SELFIES OF ME DOING SOME GARDENING AND SPENDING TIME  IN THE LOCAL LIBRARY.  I ALSO LISTEN TO THEIR CONVERSATIONS AND TELL THEM I LOVE THEM. AND IT WORKS:  I ALREADY HAVE 3 PEOPLE FOLLOWING ME : 2 POLICE OFFICERS AND A PSYCHIATRIST.

[quote user="Rabbie"] If  Scottish independence were to follow on from a British exit from the EU there might well be a strong desire from France and Germany to keep Scotland in the EU.   [/quote] Do you have any source for this statement and on what basis do you assume an exit vote by the British electorate? According to the ONS (mid 2013) the population of Scotland is estimated at just over 5 million and the total for the UK as a whole is just over 64 million. The reason that there are so many MPs in Scotland reflects the fact that the population is so sparsely spread outside of the main conurbations. PR is traditionally brought up by minor parties who have elected MPs but then realise they have no voice in government.

[quote user="Rabbie"] What did surprise me was the number of voters in England asking how they could vote SNP after the leadership debate. [/quote] Do you have a source for that statement Rabbie?

[quote user="Patf"] I still regard England as home, especially the NE, and just hope the country doesn't sink further into the ethos that Cameron, Osborne et al have created. [/quote] As a traditional labour voter would you care to elaborate on this sentence because, at the moment, it just looks like another throw away line from the UK media.

Did you not notice how quickly Kate Moss was dropped and then, just as quickly, but quietly, how quickly the advertisers slipped her back in?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31828220 How strange is that? Left leaning TV companies not playing by "impartiality rules". As has been said on another thread, when the Media start making the News rathed than reporting it, then there are some serious answers required regarding impartiality.

Clocking and whiplash acting lessons should also be included to give a balanced view.

This handbags at dawn over a few non-existant sandwiches is hilarious and exactly what the Clarkson machine thrives upon.....PUBLICITY!! For anyone in any doubt you should read his articles in the Sunday Times every week. Clarkson's equity involvement in the Top Gear brand ended in 2012 when he and the show's producer, Andy Wilman, sold their 50% holding to the BBC. It's already being rumoured that ITV are looking to make a 10 million pound offer and if that happens it's likely that SKy will top that. Clarkson's rates for after dinner speaking must be soaring already. Silly Aunty.

Teapot Thanks for your helpful post on 04/03 16:38. I do not need any at the moment but I will source from a company that gives a five year guarantee/warranty and a 30 day money back/no hassle returns policy.

You've walked into this one teapot. Where would you go for cast iron advice?   [:D]

[quote user="Théière"]. Well if you know more that is a miracle in it's self when guided by people who know not of what they speak in most cases. "I bought on Ebay"  Well that's roughly half of Shenzhen province and to say nothing of Singapore, Taiwan the USA etc etc [blink]   [/quote] Which is the whole point of the post. If you don't know, don't guess but talk to the experts. In my case that will be CEF.[:D]

Never knew you had a navel ring Pickles.   [8-)]
