            I have made up my mind as you are talking about 2 completely separate groups. I don't want to see hard working families on the streets out of their rightful homes. I know you do just so you can pick up a dream house on the cheap. Thankfully the government and banks have their eyes on your sort so will never allow it to happen. I'm not bothered about single people or man-babies like yourself as it's easy for you to pack your suitcase and move to another bedsit as necessary. Try thinking outwith the confines of your own bedroom for once.
 Man woman plus child equals your approval and sympathy.
 Man equals no sympathy
 woman equals no sympathy
 What if the man and woman who you have no sympathy for meet and become a couple and have a child, still no sympathy or are they now entitled to a bit of shelter.

 Clearly you are still in prep 1 at school as a man and woman who become a couple and have a child ARE a family. I won't humiliate you further by printing the Oxford English Dictionary definition. Honestly, keep up at the back.Man woman plus child equals your approval and sympathy.

 Of course you tend to exit inconvenient discussions so quickly that the nuanced arguments can only go over the place where your head used to be. 0 0

 "banning bulls for being bulls"I hope Cc goes to hell in a hand basket, banning bulls for being bulls and allowing bears to call the webmaster the c word. :beer:
 Hmmm. Yet your the only bull banned from CC.
 "calling the webmaster the c word".
 They don't mind that but they banned you.
 Gosh. Once can only imagine what you did to deserve the punt.0

            Basically HPC, CC, and PO are getting it hard up them every single day now. I'll certainly welcome them shutting up shop, none more so than HPC for propagating their vile agenda of wishing hard working families onto the streets. They need put to the sword.
 Exactly how many monikers do you have Sibley you sad little man?0

 You can fool a lot of people on here, Sibley, but you can't fool me. Local knowledge is a wonderful thing.0

 Whatever makes you feel better I guess.
 I backed up your point about it being more than two members and yet you immediately jump on the defencive.
 Why not just try to debate and discuss the facts.
 Ok, you bring up the elderly and children.
 I even used a rough figure of 65 million which clearly has been rounded up.
 However, now you've drawn me to the figure, I realise I must have missed out a 0 in my calculation meaning it's 0.003% of the population, or if you want to take roughly 30 million adults (excluding a lot more than your elderly in care homes and children, it's 0.006% of the adult population.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Found it

            Am I sad to have re-done the maths? (I thought it looked wrong) This should be 0.003%...
 Yes, just noticed that, thanks.
 I've allowed for a diminished UK adult population above to help Graham's case:wall:

 My money is great now and I'm earning from my rental property in UK.
 Life could be a lot worse.
 I'm certainly having a lot more fun than you are.
 To be honest I don't know what you are about.
 You say you have a perfect life with loads of dough. In your situation why are you worried that UK house prices are too high?
 I think you are somebody who cannot afford a house in UK and is convincing yourself living in Bangkok is what you want.
 Actually it's not. Thailand has nothing to offer somebody who is not into sex. That sounds bad but it's a fact. Every single ex pat I know (and that's a lot) are here for the girls. We make do with the other rubbish just for that reason.
 Take that scene away and only a total moron would want to stay here. Dirty smelly country full of thicko's. Still if you like playing the big chief then crack on.
 I wouldn't swop my life for anything. I thank god everyday.
 Sitting in 5* KL hotel now. What you doing?We love Sarah O Grady0
