    If your capitalism was true capitalism, I'd have much less problem with it, ironically. It's this privatising of gains BUT socializing of losses, that I have a problem with.

    That'll be why the government don't take anything from private sales such as stamp duty or capital gains.
    The truth is that there is plenty of profit for the government through private sales which is then available for the social well being ;)

    This is not meant as a sleight, or sexist comment, but genuinely made me laugh. Seeing Generali's/ISTL's discussion earlier, I thought I'd drop this here:
    The "offside rule" explained for women:

    You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

    The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

    The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

    Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you.

    If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!
    At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!

    BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!

    Nicked from the arms.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    People will be confusing me with broders again. Even broders confused me with Ad the other day.
    It's all very surreal on here at times.

    How are you WS? Can you recommend any decent audiobooks?

    Surreal? Have your read the loo roll thread? It is downright worrisome.

    I am as well as anyone who has just watched half her garden fence blow over can be.

    Genre for the audiobooks?
