RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

Think he's gone to ground Conrad.No pun intended.

RE: heads up! spain earthquake!

Lorca is a beautiful town. Gosh I'm sorry to hear this. Where next.

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

Hi My friend,so nice to see you. 9 weeks into my hip op.Still on crutches as they fractured my femur.So glad to hear that you are on the mend.

RE: heads up! spain earthquake!

I used to live there before moving South,have lots of friends from Murcia itself and on the coast. Thanks for the info.

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

I am the proud Mother of 2 children who were raised to respect their elders.

Actually my son is 48 this year and my daughter 43 so I guess they are not long for this world according to Trueblue

I think the replies on here speak for themselves.

You only have to go into places like B and Q,Homebase,any of the large Supermarkets in the UK and note just how many older people work there. Why because the Companies know they get respectful staff and happy customers.

Us "golden oldies" put the young to shame.They'd rather live on benefits,so God help the future for the young upstarts who think we are extinct.

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

Where are you parents Surely they must come into this category.

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

This one's 21 years over.

May be Bestbefore but no way past her sell by date

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

True Blue with a shovel springs to mind!

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

Oh boy have you opened up a can of worms.According to True Blue us golden oldies should be down there with them.

Can you imagine someone coming on a forum and saying all old people should be 6 feet under! Wonder where his parents are.

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

Arrogant to the end. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the likes of the old who stood up and defended our country through 2 world wars. Looks like it breeds contempt for people like you too.

RE: Should We Cull The Over-50s??!

You've been listening too much to True Blue. I'm so angry I could spit.Irrelevant indeed.

Vent over Hi B

RE: Sweetlyscented1

Why is it all the good ones disappear.Hope she comes back she was quality.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

Aint that the truth regards the fighting.

My comment was sweeping, as there have been some on here venting their spleen re past history as if we were ignorant of the facts.

I would hope that lessons have been learned,but doubt it.We all need each other and the fact that Britain is not in the Euro is costing us a packet bailing bankrupt countries out ,so we do have our uses. We are always the first to support countries in crisis, through natural disasters,so it isn't all bad.

RE: Hello! this is mnowsa....

Hello lovely man, How are things progressing with your future marriage.Have you set a date yet?

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

You didn't succeed on the first agenda unfortunately,but sure raised a storm!

I actually enjoyed the banter,though some are hell bent on stirring the proverbial pot.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

Well,well, well. from what I have seen posted on this thread by some people I thought I was in the joke thread.

Please don't take that condescending attitude with me ,I've been about on this earth longer than you,as you once reminded me [past my sell by date wasn't it.]

You know what you can do with your advice as I'm sure you have been told many times before.

Read the Forum rules before you start telling me where I should post.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

My goodness you do spout some rubbish. So the whole world is in crisis cos most Governments tell porky pies to it's people.

Get off that soapbox ,come back into the real world and listen not preach.

RE: I gott ask you folks from Ireland how you did it?

He passed away 2 years ago B,but he was a character and loved by many including me. My daughter gave him a fabulous send off even though he was only her step dad. Full of Irish humour and songs.He went into the church to the song "The old man"

I'm still in touch with his sisters in Dundalk.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

Eloquently spoken my friend. History tells a story that some would rather not know about.As I said before a Nation cannot be held responsible for it's Government and the bad decisions made.

Same applies to this day and age really.

RE: I gott ask you folks from Ireland how you did it?

You obviously didn't bump into my ex then.

RE: How important is it to you to be popular, to be liked

Hi Eri,

As I said before ,I don't really bother about being an "in person" on the Forums which is what I think the thread author was referring to.You would get too "emotionally" hung up if you did.

"How to make friends and influence people" springs to mind!

My real friends are in my life which is far more important .

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

Hi Dobe ,Knew you wouldn't stay away,and thank goodnes for that.

With regards the famine in Ireland yes it was originally started by the potato crop failing,but was not helped by the high handed government in England,hence the "bashing"

I can understand people getting angry,but to blame a nation for a Government's mishandling of the situation is taking it out of context.

You should try and read Joseph O'Connor's "Star of the sea" A block busting best seller which won many awards.It's based on the Irish famine and although not an easy read is fascinating reading.It wasn't all down to the English.

RE: How important is it to you to be popular, to be liked

Thanks Ccincy, and I certainly wouldn't be using the internet for my emotional needs that's for sure.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

Thanks for that,and I agree with you[ Not just because I'm British either]

Who's turn next for the C.S. Stocks. get your rotten fruit and veg ready.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

Thought it was an apple,Conrad.

RE: How important is it to you to be popular, to be liked

Interesting opinions on the thread!

As for me ,I am and have never really been bothered about other's opinion of me.I have long since given up trying to win people over,and to what end!

I have had some of my friends for over 60 years,and they are the ones who know me and what I am about. Their evaluation of me is far more important than a fleeting chat or even difference of opinion on a forum .

If someone dislikes me or my opinion that's their choice ,and I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over it.

I often respond to comments on here and get no reply, but as mentioned before , you cannot reply to every comment,you'd be on here all day,and C.S. is a small part of my life not all of it.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

For example, Christopher Columbus's spiritual mission was to travel to the west and find suitable nutrition for the English. [/quote ]

If my history serves me right Columbus was an Italian from Genoa who under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain made 4 voyages across the Atlantic,which led to general European awareness.This then initiated a Spanish conolisation of the Western world and the Americas.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

With regards the above post,I wish to add that if we spent less time digging up the past and more time spent on making the World a safer place,wouldn't that be a step in the right direction.

Many countries throughout the world have blood on their hands.Allocating blame is not going to solve our future.j.m.o.

RE: English To Blame for the Worlds Problems

I can multi task,cos I'm a woman.
