somabc Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Darling was stood outside no.11 holding this old bag & then I realised it was his wife.... http://bit.ly/9o29ba Ah Maggie Darling famous for this quote in How a furious Prime Minister fell out with Alistair Darling over truth of economic crisis | Politics | guardian.co.uk Maggie Darling, a good woman who couldn't stand the bad treatment of her husband, was understandably enraged. She could not contain her fury that the Chancellor was being so brazenly traduced from next door. She blew up to one friend: "The ******* ***** are trying to stitch up Alistair! The *****! I can't believe they're such *****!"
Guest Guest Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 There was an interesting article in this weeks local paper - somebody had written in and said that if they had taken a baby/toddler with them, then there wouldn't have been the same issue. So what age do we have to stop taking our children shopping with us. Thats why we refuse to buy anything. If everyone did that it would soon change back.
Jamo Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 unfortunately we are in a ridiculous nanny state where everything is over monitored and labelled as 'making everything more safe' when in fact it is aggravating the very people it is there to protect. Its the punishment of the masses for the flaws of the few
webman Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 A friend who is 34, on two separate occasions, has been refused the sale of alcohol and a kitchen knife from supermarkets, for not being able to produce ID (his driver's license is not a photo ID one).
srochford Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 No government would have the balls to would they ? [ Bring back National Service ] I bet if it was in one of the main parties manifestos it would be a huge vote winner. Except with soldiers - from what I've read, none of the regular forces want a load of unfit, uncooperative, obnoxious teenagers dumping on them!
creese Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Except with soldiers - from what I've read, none of the regular forces want a load of unfit, uncooperative, obnoxious teenagers dumping on them! You have read correctly. We always cringed when National Service was mooted. It's why I think some kind of social service should be an option.
tech_guy Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Oh dear, someone out there has had a sense of humour bypass... If the gag had been cracked on Mock the Week or Have I Got News For You, I bet you would have laughed at it..... Edited March 24, 2010 by tech_guy

Maybe a reply of 'Why do THEY feel the need to create such an opportunity at the same time as $cr*wing the nation for all it's got' or hasn't got. Fair game I say.
mattx Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Oh dear, someone out there has had a sense of humour bypass... If the gag had been cracked on Mock the Week or Have I Got News For You, I bet you would have laughed at it..... Maybe they can't afford one because of the budget..... Either that or they have a crush on Mr Darling...... Must be the eyebrows. 1
torledo Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 (ie. community service rather than military service). ... compulsary community service, eh ? Whatever happened to innocent till proven guilty. LOL
localzuk Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 compulsary community service, eh ? Whatever happened to innocent till proven guilty. LOL What? It isn't related to a crime? It would be a universal part of education - much like Sweden already successfully runs.
Little-Miss Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 You were a student nurse ? I take my hat off to you Little Miss - I have the up most regard for anyone who has worked as a nurse. What they did for one of my kids when he was seriously ill was amazing. My sister worked as a Nurse [ children's ] for 20 years in the NHS, now working as a private type nurse doing home visits for the local borough. Why thank you. Unfortunately, the NHS isnt a nice place to work anymore...not the blood and guts, im fine with that, just the polictics and policies that came with it! Just all about statistics...like everything else these days. I only did adult nursing, i imagine childrens is a lot better. Definately a character builder though! Ive washed dead people......
SpuffMonkey Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 No government would have the balls to would they ? [ Bring back National Service ] I bet if it was in one of the main parties manifesto's it would be a huge vote winner. Definitely bring back National Service - now I'm too old to have to do it myself
