Rape, child labour, slavery and the occasional killing.

I often buy chinese goods.

Good man. You know it makes sense.

It's my 30th birthday today; that's made me pretty happy so far (aside from being at work, though at least it's dead here).

I like hill-walking, the outdoors generally, baking, good food and wine, running (off the baking and good food and wine), web development (hubby is into bird photography so I run a site for him) and board gaming. And holidays. Most of all I like doing all these things with my marvellous family and friends.

So long as it's not child slave labour, what's the problem?

Those who have moral objections to children working in the third world have obviously never lived in the third world. They don't have the luxury of a welfare state to grow fat and lazy on. If they don't get the chance to work, they and their families suffer. Go to the Philippines or Cambodia, and the kids hate the liberal do-gooder who protect them from working, at the same time condemning them to be hungry at night.

Totally agree 100%.
Is a child working not better than it starving which is what would happen if it did'nt work.
Just because we're all molly-coddled from birth in this country does'nt mean that a child is'nt able to do a days work and when he /she does its cruel and slave labour.
That is just applying our own (right or wrong) attitudes to other people.
Its only in countries such as our own we feel the need to make children immune from work.
I worked for an aid organisation for five years and visited several of the countries we worked with and I can assure you these children are proud to work.
They feel proud of the contribution they make to their families and to their communities.
Its better than the alternative when there's no work,child prostitution is rife.
Photos like this can mean lots of things so why jump to just one conclusion.
Is it because its the one that suits you,even though it might not be true.

In that order?

My children. Tea, wine, chocolate, ice-cream, self-love, newspapers, shopping, music, walking, pc games, reading books.

In no particular order.

We have been full circle now.

Everyone has sniped at their enemies. The people banned from HPC have had their say and reached the ears of the nutcases through here and the national newspapers.

Unless we see either a drastic rise or fall in house prices there is nothing left to say. All we get now is the different sides posting the latest daily news article either good or bad. It's boring.

I've seen so much biterrness on these type of boards. I can understand it. One side have houses and don't want to lose money. The other does not own and wants to take something off the people they rent from.

Most people really want to own so paying somebody elses mortgage is no good for the head.

All that aside.

Are people as miserable as they come across on here?

Let's have a laugh and good humour thread.

What makes you laugh?

What do you like doing in your spare time? It can't be surfing the internet for house price news surely?

I like going to Pattaya with my friends, my job, my dogs and eating Cold Stone ice cream. How about you?

What are you on!!


This ridiculous thread says a lot more about your state of mind in my opinion.
Most of us are probably quite well balanced and come to this board occasionally to express an opinion on the property market, seeing as though its a board for discussing "property".

It's quite clear that the property market or more to the point property crashing is a far bigger aspect of you life than most others.

There is a lot of things in life that make me happy, but i don't feel obliged to talk about it to a property discussion board when i/you should be just getting on with it, and if i did i would probably talk about it on a board called "what makes you happy"

how much more ridiculous are you going to get Sibley

Seeing my better half happy, cinema, planning the future (the house/wedding/kids will be happening soon(ish)), seeing my mates, driving fast (legally on race tracks), making children happy (I do a lot of voluntary work with schools and churches locally and am very well known locally by 100's of children, for the right reasons I will add). When I see many coming together for the greater good, with much of my voluntary work I am but one piece fo the puzzle.

I think everytime I make the world a little better I smile, I fix many Xbox 360's, PC's, laptops, DS's etc, and only ever charge for parts, whenever people ask how to pay me back I simply say "Do something nice for somebody else and expect nothing back".

I will make the world better one person at a time... I hope.
