Blimey Swanny, you ever post anything positive and uplifting? ;D
The worlds not all doom & gloom you know! If you're not careful, you'll end up like Ken*! lol
*Post Disclaimer: This post is meant to be taken lightly, with a pinch of salt. Any offence caused, is purely the fault of the reader, and not the intention of the poster.
As with SF, are you a harbinger of the end of the world Swanny???
Armageddon!!!!!! armageddon outta here.......
I'll get my coat.
How about an evil owl??

;D ;D ;D
Now THATS scary!!!!
SF, As I’m in good health, have a fantastic family and am able to pursue my real passion of motorcycling, perhaps I should adopt a more “I’m alright Jack” and f**k everyone else attitude towards life?Quote:

I won’t talk about the “Doom & gloom” facing the loved ones of our brave young men and women who died fighting on foreign soil.
I won’t talk about the “Doom & gloom” facing the peaceful protesters in Damascus, Baghdad, Manama, Tripoli, Cairo, Kabul and so on.
I won’t talk about the “Doom & gloom" facing Europe as it tackles its biggest crisis since 1939-45.
In the spirit of a positive vein, Lapland released a statement saying that Santa Claus has expressed a desire to produce lots of little Santas. Accordingly, as from next year, Santa will be coming more than once a year. (If he is not on strike due to a cut in his pension) :P
On a separate matter SF, I am really thick skinned and your post does not offend me in the slightest but, I don’t understand your disclaimer. If the content (full or part) of an author’s post is deemed to be offensive, how can that be the fault of the reader?
I think his fault of the reader bit was a joke...
And SF has hit the nail on the head! Too much of this political doom talking is depressing! Yes, we're in the throws of a possible double dip recession and a global financial crisis, but the fact is we're lucky to live in the western world. We're here because the majoritiy of us have motorbikes and use them for pleasure. There are billions of people in the world who have never experience pleasure!
Life isn't all bad :) we've just gotten used to 15 years of prosperity when we didn't earn it
Couldnt agree more Dabz......make the most of what you have, whilst you still can.......too many people take everything they have for granted....we are bloody lucky as a nation to have indoor toilets, running water and lighting ETC ETC ETC......the list is endless.
The glass is either half full or half empty so they say......Im glad to say mine is half full !!!
Smile Swanny, it could be soooo much worse :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I'd be happier if me fags 'n beer was cheaper ;D ;D
Can't see what any non [tax] duty contributors gotta moan about as it's us 'addicts' that are shafted every time ::)...and we have good cause to moan as it is excessive, punitive taxation....I'd like to see bloody bottled water taxed similarly ;D
wow love that liccle owl :)
Count yourself lucky you have the option to smoke and drink. Compare that to people who don't have the option to eat
uhhhh :-? 'option to eat'--either do or ya don't. I guess if you don't you die unfortunately no option is available with discriminatory taxation ;)
I respect your views but if we stop talking about serious issues like the thousands of pensioners who will die this winter because they can't afford to keep warm, it won't go away. I was merely responding to Aiden's post. We all have different personalities and express our feelings in different ways, however, I take on board your comments. :) :) :) :) 8-) 8-) 8-)
So you're saying the millions of people starving in Africa are doing so because they're choosing not to eat?Quote:

In a word 'Yes'-sadly there is no organisation--Africa is a very fertile land well able to feed the whole population with proper management.
As for tax the main cause of debt is excessive, uncontrolled Government spending. Reduce this spending rather than Keynsian approach and there is really little requirement to impose high taxation.
Yeah Toph seen before---brilliant --- yeah I think owls are brilliant :) There is a big one that flies around Lackham roundabout 8-)
Ahh sorry my bad, never realised they were starving to death by choice. Perhaps you should tell the comic relief people so we stop wasting money sending it out to the lazy African bastards?
I know we are lucky to live in the rich west, I have backpacked around some third world countries and seen some shocking things.
But sill believe we have the right to question what is going on around us, I am not after free handouts just a fairer society.
From Swannys video. The sad thing is I have seen the after-mouth off the American war in Vietnam and Laos, lush forestation burnt out with agent orange. Mine fields / areas where cluster bombs landed in Laos that are still being de-mined. I remember one day the bus we were traveling on being waved down and a member of the public collecting money for funeral costs for a relative who had been killed by a mine. 40 years on and its still happening this time the enemy has changed from Dirty Commies to terrorists and countries America consider to be rouge states.
The sad thing is we have no say as the UK government will just follow the Americans like sheep. I can't even vote against this in the next election because all party's haven't got the balls to tell America to sod off
Did you see what happened in Pakistan? :o
I've seen the same as you Taffy :(
Yea Red I did. They keep pushing them to fight back :-/
Pakistan says it will press ahead with its Iran gas pipeline deal despite a strong opposition by the United StatesQuote:
