    To date, I haven't seen a starving Ethopian with an internet connection ......

    Yet see everyone in the UK with one.

    So, yet again, you have made yourself look like a right dork :rotfl:

    :rotfl:

    You accuse someone of making themselves look like a right dork, straight after multiple (successful) attempts at doing the same yourself. :T

    Even the poorest in our society have big flat screen TV's mobile phones cars warm homes .......... the poorest can even afford to smoke, drink heavily and get 'classy' tattoo's!!

    I am not one of the poorest or one of the richest like you but I don`t have a flat screen. Nothing wrong with the telly we have got. It runs on valves.
    If the country relied on me spending we would be in permanent recession/ depression.

    And YOUR contribution is THAT!?

    It's a compliment to you, not a criticism. You've managed to engage them quite well. Well done.

    It shows their intelligence levels.
