roverT33's bio
My Art is Origami or rather was as I don't do much of it anymore. I have a load of books on it though. A group did show an Interest in my showing it's members some. But haven't been back to me yet. I was playing a lot of Poker in free pub leagues but they swung towards cash. So I don't play as much Texas Hold 'em as I was. I play one pub but not necessarily every week, and I do play at the Casino in Huddersfield in Free rolls+£2 registration fee. I was in a Vegas League game Sunday (11th Jan 2015) that I had qualified for. The entry was free. I was 27th on the list of 100 who qualified. So had a starting stack of 12.5K. The prize was a holiday in Vegas worth £3000, so I bought another 7.5K for £20. I came 18th out of the 91 who entered. -

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?From what I have been reading about her. I would say Angela Ledson. She has plenty of experience in government, and would be a fresh face on the political scene. And the right politician to go up against Merkel and the rest of her gang of Neo-Facisist's...ViewDate:

Should Jeremy Corbyn Stay or Go?He has shown no leadership qualities. The times i have seen him in parliament. In his cords and comfortable woolly cardi. Looking like he is waiting for a train, doing the crossword or word search. He has been against the EU for 40 years, when he is given the job to lead he goes the other way, and is for it because that is what he is told to do. That is going against his own beliefs. That is not a sign of a good leader. If he had a dog, It would be the dog taking him for a walk...ViewDate:

Should Britain stay in the EU or is now the time to leave?David Cameron did not come back with a deal. He actually came back with nothing. It is only a Proposal and against the constitution of the EU. After the Referendum is over it will go to the EU Court and they will say "It's against the EU Constitution. And the Human Rights of the Migrants". There will be no changes within the EU. It will just head where it has always been heading. It will be just like it was in Ireland. Vote Out will not be the right vote that the EU want. And the Vote we have to be done again. It was the third time in Ireland before the EU had the result It wanted. Take the Greeks as the latest example. The Greek Government was Voted in because It promised to get them out of the EU. Alexis Tsipras of left-wing Greek political party Syriza. Went to Brussels and came back with a very worried look on his face. And Greece was forced to take a third bail out. Germany are now the owners of Greek Airports. And they still owe the EU the Money....ViewDate:

Should Britain stay in the EU or is now the time to leave?It's people like you that make me really angry. The wool has been pulled well over your Eyes. You will know nothing about The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and the Slow Genocide Of The Caucasian People Of Europe and Agenda 21(which is now 2030). Just why did my ancestors die to give you the freedom to speak. When you can speak without Knowledge. I served my Country for what ? just as they did, but I'm still alive to defend my Nation. You will not have the Freedom to speak your drivel if we don't get out of this Fascist/Marxist Dictatorship. This referendum will be Our Last Chance to make a decision on this Countries future. It is beginning to dawn on the 650 men and women in Westminster that there will be no need of them when we are fully in the EU.ViewDate:

Should women serve on the front line?I was in The Army. If women think they can do It then they will have to understand that you have to put up with a pack of animals. We were with the Americans a few times, and one of them described us as dogs. Maybe Ok in support. But your front line have gone through some pretty tough mental and physical challenges to get to the front, and some of the conditions there can get really bad.ViewDate:

Win a 6 night holiday to Munich and Royal BavariaMy Father was in the Army. And the policy of the time was to ship pregnant wives back to have babies born on British land. I could have had dual citizenship If I was born nowadays. They look after their own more than our Government do for us..ViewDate:

The battle of the supermarketsYou must shop at Tesco's. Try going round a big Asda store and ask where a product is. The assistants there seem to have the best product position knowledge. I do It with a few super stores to test them out. I used to be what is known as a Super Shopper. And had the task of being sent to certain stores to test out the treatment of customers by staff in them. I had to send a short report In with comments in return for small payments or coupons. It's not done anymore as they now get most feed back free from places like Facebook...ViewDate:

Are you in agreement with the ban of smoking in cars with children?I used to be a smoker and until I could break the mindset of being one I didn't care. So a period of education is fine but just how long that should is debatable. There have a been a lot of campaigns over the years about giving up. And you can get free advice and free medication to help yourself. And I do think people will only change their attitude when the risk of being prosecuted is greater. It will be a slow process. But It does take awhile to educate people.ViewDate:

Is the correct use of grammar and spelling important to you?If people see it spelt wrong and they didn't know, or had forgot, how to spell it correctly It becomes like a virus and people copy It. And so It spreads. I don't like text speak either. One of my browsers(Mozilla Firefox) has a spell checker application on but I like to add-on a dictionary. If I make a mistake it shows up and I can decide If It needs to be altered. I have also added Addictive Typing Lessons when I updated the browser today. I have done a couple college courses and own a TYTT(Teach Yourself) disc. And we as a peer group have a responsibility to not let any of the younger generation bamboozle us. But now, more than ever before teach them from our own experience. One of the reason is because if they try to bamboozle us, they will try It on any other generations. And besides everything else It stops our brains from dying...ViewDate:

Study shows affluent over 50s most at risk of harmful drinkingI like to drink but recently it started to get out of hand. I have a support worker from a charity. I told her that my drinking had started to spiral out of control. One of my neighbours has a party every Saturday night. It was after one Saturday night we were discussing different Whiskeys. To cut a long story short. Mick told me to try Lidil's as they sold good quality spirits for less. I went and they had Gin on offer for less than £10. The amount I was consuming went from a bottle a week to a bottle every 3 days. My support worker suggested going to On Trak. I went and the counselor told me It looked like I was drunk all the time. I told her I don't have a hangover and have not had one for years. Well anyway, the outcome was I stopped for a month. Then a Yorkshire Day celebration was taking place. So I had a good drink, the next day when I woke up I thought my head would collapse. I thought the On Trak counselor had been right. And I had not realized just how alcohol was affecting me. So I now drink less when I do drink. And not as often..ViewDate:

Would you welcome your GP surgery being opened 7 days a week?I tried to do the same but I found out about a carousel system is used. So I have to see the first available GP. Unless I book on-line with System One, but I only get to talk via the phone. I can order prescriptions on there. And get them faster than the traditional method.ViewDate:

Win a £1000 bundle of the latest hearing assisted technology!I had a hearing test two week back and found out I needed hearing aids because even though I didn't notice it my self, I am apparently not hearing all the conversation when people are talking to me. I'm going next month to be fitted for hearing aids. The prize on offer would be handy for me for the future If I won.ViewDate:

Should drug possession be considered a crime?I do not consider cannabis to be an addictive drug. I smoked it for many years off and on. It's not a physical addiction. If anybody says they are I tell them it's a mental addiction and get it right as they give out the wrong Impression. I don't smoke it any more, and have not done for years. But I have lost a lot of friends to heroin, 5 have died or committed suicide on it. There is only one who I know who is still on it. I have offered to help him if he needs it but he always declines. He doesn't steal or rob anybody. He can't go to his family as he doesn't want his habit known to them. He's been on it now for at least 25 years. You can't force this man to do anything. In his younger days he was a Hells Angel and the second in command of his chapter. There were lot of others in this town who were users but have had treatment and are now clean.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?I think it should be freedom of choice. It's us who should choose what we want to do. There should be an area set aside away from the bar for smokers. I stayed in a guest house while I was waiting to get rehoused. And the owner didn't smoke and she asked all her tenants if they smoked as she had the house where she stayed and another one further up the road that she called the annexe. No smokers stayed in the main house while smokers went up the road to the annexe. She said that it was cheaper for her as the no smoking house's decorating lasted four times longer than the one with the smokers in. So It makes sense that smokers should have a separate smoking area...ViewDate:
