Christmas Tree

Thats what they call me I come up with some cracking ideas / business plans but am shite at turning them into reality! Thats the problem when your "creative". (special) Tell us one of your business ideas. Selling mobility aids such as scooters. Massive and growing market, old people living longer and demanding to stay as independant as possible. Currently have a spare bedroom full of scooters but cant be arsed to "get on with it". Who's he?

Currently have a spare bedroom full of scooters but cant be arsed to "get on with it". Also researched several franchises such as cash generator and then put off going ahead with it and watch some other fucker open it instead. Typical creative tbf

The weak fall and the strong survive This is how it should be

Depeche Mode --- The climate change song The CRU claim our planet's nearly dead, And I couldn't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, Their data's all a con, you can't believe a thing they said, And I couldn't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, The climate's changing, they say it's our fault, But I really just can't give a fuck, They just won't recognise their data's incomplete, And I couldn't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, They castigate for driving cars and even eating meat, And I couldn't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, They say that CO2 will kill us all, But I really just can't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, . . . I couldn't give a fuck... And when it rains, it's shown on BBC, And I couldn't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, They claim the deluge is down to you and me, And I couldn't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, The climate cycles as it always does, And I really just can't give a fuck, I couldn't give a fuck, Repeat to the end of the world....

Around 10 my dream job was to be an archaeologist or a farmer. In recent years it varies between an air post man in the canadian wilderness or some sort of park ranger somewhere in america with a big jeep / boat, a gun and no bears.

Its not about poverty per se either though, its about inequality. A nice index is the Hoover Index. This estimates the total proportion of wealth that needs to be re-distributed to achieve an equal distribution. If you have 5, I have 5 and Alex has 20, the Hoover index is in simple terms 33.3%, ie. alex gives us 5 each (10 from a total of 30) and then we all have 10 each. Britain has a GDP, its national wealth, which is divided up between us through various mechanisms, the question is how fair are those mechanisms? These mechanisms are making it worse according to this report. But in what way is it making it worse....Examples? I live in an area where half a mile one way live millionaires, half a mile the other way live low paid, unemployed etc. Quite often both sides shop at the same supermarket, kids go to the same school, drink in the same bars, go to the same hospitals, have the same xbox's, big tv's etc etc on a daily basis. I think if the poor of 20 years ago saw the poor of today they would consider todays poor rich or at the least middle class. The inequality indices show that Britain's distribution of income is more unequal now than it was under Thatcher. The thing is, how will things look in another 20 years now that the poor cant get the credit to buy the x-boxes anymore? The credit will be back very soon. Forget the doom and gloom, as soon as the recovery kicks off targets will have to be met and revenue raised and that will lead to credit companies reducing criteria as they compete against each other. Regardless of what Gordon may want it is still a free market and competition will prevail.

But your only 32! What stops you going for it now... There are no Ian Wright's in journalism mate, I know a few. Apart from this one......

Because a) he is fucking shit does not want to play for Newcastle (dont think the queer nightlife is up to his usual standards) c) we are well rid of the useless cunt d) faked injury and therefore done nothing for the sterotype of puffters. hope this clears it up for you. Havent heard that for a while

I take your point to an extent but poverty doesn't exactly help the other things you mention either. It doesnt, I just find it bollox when the assumption is made that the banker has a better quality of life than the part time trolley collector at asda. While it varies at both ends of the scale top earners can quite naturally be totally driven workaholics and so caught up in the business world that their personal life suffers. Also their lifestyles are usually full of work related stress which is less common in the low wage earners who can quite easily turn off when the day ends. Mind, I bet some of them retire when they're about 35 as well which can't be bad. Agreed but very few do and most wouldnt have a clue what to do next! Aye, I think a lot probably plan to do it but are so driven they find it hard. Easy to say when you're not like that I suppose but I wouldn't want to be like that. Also, by retire I mean retire from the rat race to pursue other, less stressful, interests. I used to yearn to get back into the rat race. It was like a drug. The thought of it now fills me with dread. My eldest daughter has just joined the rat race selling in a bank in Newcastle. Its horrible being supportive in her excitement for the job while at the same time knowing that those pats on the back from the manager and local directors will vanish into thin air as soon as the tragets are missed. (which they will be at some point).

Anyone have a dream job that its feasible they could do but dont.......and if so why not. I am at that stage where I'm undecided what to do next and keep considering what my dream job would be. At one end of the scale is continuing to taxi, but more part time. (lots of free time, own boss but less cash) Then theres retraining to do....something (?????) And the third choice is setting up a business (own boss, more cash but lots of stress)

As this thread runs off the rails world wide, the opening post was about the poor in Britain. There is poverty at the extremes but on the whole they make these "gaps" up and the everyday gaps in daily living are not that great.

found a bunch of waiters buggering a male sheep wearing a clowns hat. Turns out it was just servers experiencing a degraded ram.

Thing is too many associate wealth with happiness and it is total bollox. There are so many other things to take into consideration such as health , relationships, family life , stress etc etc.

Curdling as we speak. If he weren't a boring cunt, who devotes more than half his posts to me it could, but I should be flattered people devote so much attention to me to be fair. just questioning your motivations, are you ashamed of your beliefs or something? If you don’t want your opinions challenged, why post them? Which particular opinions (with direct quotes from me) do you feel the need to challenge? Don't give some ambiguous attention seeking bollocks neither. ^ crikey Stormfront shut down for the day. Stevie, your opinions have been noted before, isn’t that why you lost your privileges? you then revert to kind with your avatar, which as previously has deep racist undertones. as for a quote: HappyFace: That's possibly the most punchable face I've ever seen Stevie: Can you not see my avatar like? I detest racism, however people try to use it. You continue to ignore my queries about what message you are trying to get across, so have made this charade, I can only presume coward regarding your beliefs, but you still want to represent them and when questioned you go “sssshhh go away lad”, etc. Explain your reasons for the Avatar then? Explain the reasons for you're avatar? Well there you have it, definitive proof I'm a nazi. It would never have entered my head to put it up to wind complete wanks like you up would it?? :o Is this the sum total of your evidence you're hardly Rumpole of the Bailey are you. I'm actually embarrassed for you if you consider this as solid evidence. "Lad" also is in my opinion something a southern person would use to mimmick a northern person. NW people say lad. The plot thickens..... Stevie, you do realise that I was quoting you?* link, post 63!!! I’m not going to trawl through all of your posts to get evidence – I’d end up topping myself before long. You’ve used that avatar for a reason and you haven’t the balls to stand up to your opinions — again. Obviously I don’t like racists, but I also don’t like women wearing burqas — see it’s not difficult. *and you used this to insult my origin, hmmm. People like you fuck me off wanting it to be all black and white. Its not there is grey and it doesnt make people bad. In fact there grey on both sides, white and black and im ok with that. Grow up and post something interesting.

According to the tape recovered from the cockpit voice recorder, Ethiopian Airlines flight 409 went into a sudden nose dive when the sound of a crisp packet opening was heard in the pilot's cabin.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet but the much anticipated "The Pacific" starts shortly. The same Spielberg / Hanks crew who produced Band of Brothers have put this together concentrating on three marines during the battles with Japan in the Pacific. In 10 parts this hits the screens in March

oh dear, why is that ? Find it hard to imagine any point in the medium future when we will again be a big club competing at the top end of the prem with good players. Think we are going to spend quite a few yo yo years like the mackems with nothing but promotion relegation and then struggling to get promotion. Dont think theres any shining knights out there with fuck loads of money. Also think nothing will ever compare to the first ride under keegan I know its all fucking depressing but my interest is dwindling. Luckily new generations come along and carry the flag from us moaning old farts who keep harking back.... I won't ask you the obvious question then and be accused of "ruining the thread". Would be better if you admitted the obvious but I'll leave it at that. Yes, I've got it too
