One more year and it'll be legal..

But very, VERY dangerous....Her father (me!) would kill you

_I_ know a girl who is 15, car-mad, and loves rock music.....

BUT....


Hands off, it's my daughter!


btw, when you get to your later stages of life, you will realise one BIG difference between cars and women...

Cars dont nag!

Nah...only HALF redressed...I thought the tortoise one was very funny!

Quote from Bean0 :

Ordered some stuff online the other day & I used my donor card instead of my debit card.
Cost me an arm and a leg.

Love it!

OK...Hold fire everybody!!!!!

I have noticed a slight trend here; only slight, I will admit, but it seems to me that we have a difference of opinion in that everybody is stating from their own personal experiences.
Basically, on one side we have Andy, Mookie and myself, with Kev leading the 'opposition'(with help from others, of course!)

When one of us (Andy, Mookie or I) make a statement, all we hear basically is: "Pics or STFU!!!1!!"..OK, so they ask for links etc...as if what we are saying is too far-fetched to be true.

If anybody cares to look CLOSELY at our various profiles, you will notice that all three of us live in the Midlands, and I believe that the closer you get to the Capital, the greater the influence of the so-called "PC" brigade.

Whether people like to admit it or not, there IS a North/South divide in England, and regional demographics play a large part in the way we view life.
Also, one must take into account the direct local government and the way that the local populace is run...each local council runs and introduces local bye-laws to suit the local population, I am sure that Kev would not be happy with Oxfordshire County Council deciding how York should be run, in the same way that I would disagree with Yorkshire County Council controlling Oxford.

The point I am trying to make is, although I have heard "But we are all the same!" (when talking about race/creed/etc), the truth is, even we, the indigenous people are different from each other! We all have differening views on a lot of subjects, so let us just agree to differ.

I suppose now, that I will be accused of being a member of the Oxford Popular Front or something else just as absurd....


(Note to Sam..I didn't miss Kevs point at all; what I should have done was to highlight the part of his post that I was answering....that of 40-60 year olds not knowing what to do...)

Quote from wsinda :

So, Bladerunner, please tell us about your childhood. Was it unhappy?
Why don't you provide some details about these PC cases? That'll be a better contribution to the debate than hypothesizing about other people's minds.

What I remember of my childhood was happy enough, thank you...however, it seems as if it was a lot happier than the childhood currently being enjoyed (endured?) by some people on this forum.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The law isn't biased at all, but yes you're going to get some officials and employers and so on who take things a bit too far and positively discriminate. That's a given. A lot of people in the current generation of 40-60 year olds (the people who are running everything right now) just don't know what to do, so they try to "be on the safe side" instead of just using common sense.

Honestly I think it'll all sort itself out in a couple of generations' time.

Aha...I sense that you have some problem with 40-60 year olds; and with authority in general.
Therefore when somebody of that age group expresses a point of view, you automatically dispute what they are saying...


Everything is clear now.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Well, take a bus. Train, or even a car.

Everyone feels shit for whatever reason, and they still go to work!

By the way most air conditioning units will have some sort of cleaning stage where the air that is recycled is cleaned, or it would kill many people, such as what happend before with whatever disease that they call it!

School = Really, in global terms, a waste of time. You learn how to do 1+1 and that's about it. Best way to sum it up is "they teach you how to take tests"

Work = Pay, meeting people where you're likely to remain freinds for longer periods (i.e schoolfreinds move away etc), meeting possible spouse :o, way to get your mind off things, may be a place to relax or/and enjoy yourself (depends on job obviously), list goes on.

'sides, take some of the Vichs (or w/e you spell it) crap and take it like a man!!!

.....and if the BUS DRIVER has a stinking cold, feeling like sh*t, and is dosed up to the eyeballs with over-the-counter remedies......do you think that its a good idea for HIM to go to work regardless???

You cant beat hemorrhoids....get them lasered off, and discover what REAL pain is

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Where has that actually happened?

And like I said before, if something like this does happen, what you need to do is find the cretinous councillor responsible and slap him until he sees sense. Nobody has ever been offended by the word "christmas" - it has never happened. Ever. Not even once.

Hopefully you realise that voting for the BNP over it would make you a rather petty, spiteful individual.

Oxford....Which is why I find it particularly disturbing.

AND its from your favourite newsrag...Teh Gruadian!

(Even the local Muslims said that it was a crap idea!)


[edit]....Ah...I see from the wording of your post that you are now advocating a violent solution to protecting our values...turning into a BNP activist, are you? [/edit]

Quote from flymike91 :

The great thing about being born in a country is that you don't need to change to cater to another person's way of life who was not natural-born. This is why I admire the Swiss system so much. If a person goes into their community to live there, and does not conform to the natural-born Swiss way of life, the citizens will not vote to keep that person in their community and they will be deported. If an immigrant comes to your country they must change their way of life to match the norms of the community.

Well said Mike...I said more or less the same thing a few pages back...and got flamed for being a racist!
The problem is, that in SOME cities in the UK, the local population (the indigenous people!) are expected to change THEIR way of life in order to let the immigrants feel happy...

Before anybody asks for proof....as I said earlier, a prime example is dropping the word Christmas and renaming it Winter Festival.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

They adore Israel?

Their leader has been convicted for his anti-Jew publications in the past. How much do you think he adores Israel? Yes they've got a Jewish councillor at the moment, but they also have Sikh councillors - all people they wouldn't have touched without the application of a baseball bat before the populist hatred of Islam started in earnest.

On the BNP blog that reported the list publication I saw one member lamenting that the nationals were too busy reporting the death of "that ****ing Jew Reg Varney" to worry about the BNP list. I didn't even know he was a Jew but as a bus driver and BNP supporter no doubt you were more clued-up than me in that regard.

My apologies for not typing all this with caps lock engaged, but I'm not a yob like you are, I don't need to shout so much.

Sorry... I forgot Forum Rule #13b: "Sarcasm is wasted on the less intelligent"
As for shouting earlier, forgive me, but it was my pent up frustrations that you were posting crap without:
a) Reading the post that you were replying to.
b) Having the faintest idea what you were talking about.

For the benefit of those that cannot be bothered to READ (emphasis!) a post properly before spouting off..I will repeat what I said:

Quote :

...but then again, maybe they adore Israel as well for exactly the same reason.

This was obviously a sarcastic retort to your suggestion that the reason Switzerland had fewer immigration problems was because they all had semi-automatic weapons and conscription...well, FYI, so do the Israelis.

Hope this helps, though somehow I feel it wont, you are too indoctrinated by The Guardian

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Perhaps you're familiar with the BNP's adulation for Switzerland's relative racial purity. They seem to think that all of Switzerland's immigration problems are solved by national service and an automatic weapon owning-and-operating populace.

But you have to appreciate the fact that they believe this because they're ****ing stupid.

I didnt know that, and I would never guess that a Nation with three recognized languages and three distinct groupings would be classed as 'pure' in the BNP's eyes...but then again, maybe they adore Israel as well for exactly the same reason.

Quote from flymike91 :

Kev was wrong but it does not require CAPS LOCK to tell him so. You would garner more respect by giving it, even when contradicting someone.

As it was the second time I requested that he did some simple research in the space of less than an hour, I felt the need to emphasise a bit...

Basically a case of "Make sure brain is engaged before selecting mouth" (or fingers, in this instance )

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The Swiss pay **** all taxes, they can afford to pay more for their quality of life.

Actually that's probably got something to do with why being an illegal labourer in Switzerland isn't particularly appealing - it's difficult to undercut domestic suppliers given a level playing field.

Once again Kev...EPIC FAIL...as I said earlier, PLEASE RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING CRAP.

Quote :

Personal taxes are very reasonable in Switzerland. Despite the complex federalistic political structure, the Swiss tax system is very simple and the fiscal administration rather efficient.
Lump sum taxation
Foreigners with no activity (that is, retired) can choose to pay a lump sum annual tax, which is calculated on their rental payments (or the rental value of their house or apartment) with no relation to their real income or wealth.
More about lump sum taxation ...
Income tax
You pay taxes where you live, and these taxes are divided between the the federal government, the canton and the city (about a third at each level). There are wide variations in tax rates between cantons and even cities, and your overall tax bill will very much depend on where you live, even though it rarely exceeds 30%.
Wealth tax
Swiss cantons levy a small wealth tax of maximum 1% of your net assets (unless you qualify for the lump sum taxation). This is the oldest tax in the country and never assumes the retaliatory significance that it has in some countries.
Estate tax
Several cantons levy a small estate tax (i.e. inheritance tax) of about 7% between father and son, but this is being phased out by popular demand.
More about estate tax ...
Capital gain tax
Switzerland does not apply capital gain taxes, except for professional equity and real estate traders.

I had Colin Dexter get on my bus a lot when I drove in the city (AND the tight b*st*rd uses a bus pass!...and Mrs B frequently has Sir Roger Bannister, Rowan Atkinson, and Martin Keown coming into the shop where she works.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

They're not major world economies like the UK and the USA. They don't appear to be the huge economic opportunity that we do.

EH????!!!!! Switzerland not a major economy???

Quote :

The economy of Switzerland is one of the world's most stable economies. Its policy of long-term monetary security and bank secrecy has made Switzerland a safe haven for investors, creating an economy that is increasingly dependent on a steady tide of foreign investment. Because of the country's small size and high labour specialisation, industry and trade are the keys to Switzerland's economic livelihood. Switzerland has achieved one of the highest per capita incomes in the world

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Switzerland

PLEASE do some research before spouting nonsense!!!!!

The fact is, the Swiss have a very nice system when it comes to handing out benefits to scroungers...they even use THREE different languages to tell the scroungers to "P*SS OFF"


btw, talking about immigration policies, I notice things are quiet from our Australian members!

Quote from Becky Rose :

I dont see the current situation much differently except that it is not as personalised for me. I just wish we could all get along, we're all people. Let the leaders worry about their power plays and saluting flags - i'm lower / middle class and I dont fight for my country, I fight for humanity.

A famous General once summed it up:

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Well, honestly, you can't blame all of the muslims for your paranoia, can you? Also, what's so different from the irish catholics? they bombed you too, didn't they? So best throw all of them out too, bloody bastards...

I dont blame ALL the Muslims, and rational caution is not paranoia.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

You base your racism on irrational fear. It's far more likely for you to be killed in a traffic accident. So why not ban cars?

Please come back and argue when you have at least a small idea of what you are talking about.

Quote from Becky Rose :

If you go off half-cock condemning a race/creed/ethnicity on the grounds that there was once a bunch of fanatics of that race/creed/ethnicity and might be more, then yes. You should instead go after the fanatics.

er, sorry Becky, can you show me WHERE I condemned the whole Islamic faith for the acts of some hard-line fanatics?

I know that moderate Muslims condemn these fanatics as much as I do, and would like to be able to live their lives without fear of getting 20kg of Chapatti flour and Hydrogen Peroxide going off in the seat next to them.
I know also that these fanatics were British born and bred, and held British passports...but WHO indoctrinated them to the point that they were willing to blow themselves into tiny little pieces?
Were the Mullahs who recruited them born and bred over here as well? Did THEY get blown up?? No...they were nice and safe at home with a big grin on their faces. What happens when they catch one of these mad Mullahs that preach Jihad? They give them a small fortune of taxpayers money...they cant send them back to where they came from because it breaches their human rights!!!
It's about time people realised that; as Becky said, we are at war, and if we must accept the occasional bomb going off, then we must also have the right to fight back.

Quote from durbster :

Terrorism's emotional impact far outweighs its threat, on a ratio that is bordering on ridiculous. You have such a minute chance of being involved in a terrorist incient that by rights it should barely be worthy of consideration.

Almost the same people died last year in "falls involving a chair" as died in the London bombings. It's not keeping me awake.

Ah...somebody else that has never driven a bus in London?? I have, and was driving a bus IN WEST LONDON ON 7th July 2005....How bloody close do you need it to be?
I now drive a bus to the two main British Airports..and you would not believe the security that I have to put up with..the average guy in the street may think its all blown over, but we have to be constantly on our guard, because you never know when and where it is going to happen again.
This is the aim of terrorist acts...to unsettle the infrastructure so that people ARE looking over their shoulders all the time.
Until the threat is removed, then they are winning.
Or are you all happy in the knowledge that it will never happen to you? The people on that bus thought they were safe as well.

Oh dear... maybe saying that I would like to see the threat of terrorism removed can be construed as a racist comment.

Quote from Becky Rose :

As i've said before, we're at war and we have to accept that part of that is some bombs on friendly soil.

...But obviously we are not allowed to defend ourselves or take steps to prevent it happening because that would be racist?

Quote from SamH :

The Mujahedin in the UK are not a serious threat,

Unless you live and work in London and use public transport....

Quote :

Carried out by British Islamist extremists,

"We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our Mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid."

forgotten 7/7/2005 already Sam?
