Bottled Water or Tap Water?I Suppose ANY water is better than no water: Bottled- or- tap! after seeing some of the stuff the African people have to survive on ! But I wonder -- Do many of us give a thought to how many sets of kidneys the stuff we obtain from the tap has been through before we drink it?? or where the Water company actually obtained the stuff from??ViewDate:

Alcohol dependencyAngel you can talk til you are blue in the face BUT its HIM that has to make the decision to pack in boozing & if he hasn't sunk low enough yet he WONT pack it in - The MORE you & all the Well intentioned "Friends" Nag & cajole him The LESS notice he'll take of you, We Advised Cajoled nagged implored Pleaded etc etc, with my brother in law but it Made not one iota of difference We had carpets & curtains ruined with urine -vomit - plus the stink of Cann abis everywhere & now we are the rotten buggers Because we couldn't cope with him when his own kids had evicted him-- he is now pushing up the plantlife in the local cemetery Maybe if you let your feller read this it MAY hit the spot -- but I doubt it, John Barleycorn is a tough one to take on----ViewDate:

Would you take an anti-ageing pill in order to live until 120?When the one with the scythe & hourglass appears at the foot of your bed its time to go -- Never mind what age you are! , The years of a man/woman are "Three score & ten" we are told & any more you treat as a bonus! Its the ONLY thing in life that is absolutely certain----- the end of it! & potions or whatever NOBODY has escaped it yet!,ViewDate:

Should Prince Charles step aside and allow Prince William to become the next King?Charles "Blotted" his copybook with how he treated Diana as far as I'm concerned--- BUT ! These days that does not seem to matter much, In fact it has not mattered much way back in history either according to the performance put forward by his ancestors! It seems they were All fond of a game of "musical beds " at times William seems to put forward a "Clean young family Man" image though-- which the rest of the world "could" use as a Role Model I suppose-- Wheras Charles emits the Lecherous old guy image-- somewhat in keeping with his Pater!-- ( Memories of the 19 60s- & the tales told in the Redtop Tabloid Media) re a couple of "Models" & a certain doctor---etc--etc,-- Still it was all Good Fun at the time-- Was'nt it ??ViewDate:

Has Christmas become too commercialised?The TRUE meaning of Christmas flew out of the window just after the second world war -- IMHO-- with the start of "The Consumer society" When The "Austerity" years were consigned to the dustbin- (Sorry it had become a Trash/Garbage can by then,) Suddenly not only the local Doctor & Vicar had cars but most people had one- whereas there may have been only one telephone within five miles or so suddenly all & sundry were talking to relatives in Australia- Canada- etc-- Christmas was when you got a card from them prior to this probably posted way back in October to make sure it got there on time, For a Kid to get a bike back then was a rare thing -in my case it was a second hand me down off my cousin- these Days it seems like Every day is Christmas day for Kids regarding their collection of various "Gottahaves",ViewDate:

Should women serve on the front line?Its something that will be debated from now til eternity : Point is in this day & age Equality rules the day & if they're in the kitchen they've got to put up with the heat-- So YES they get all the perks that go with a military career so Yes they should be "On the front line" just like their Male Counterparts !,ViewDate:

Has the magic of Christmas diminished?I was reared by my Grandparents owing to my Mothers premature Demise & Grandpa would Not under any condition Allow the Tree (which had to be Holly ) into th e house until Christmas Eve , It was then a scuffle to decorate it With paper garlands Milk Bottle tops & anything else that was bright & Shiny, It was then Early to bed & early to rise as we lived on a Farm-- After morning milking & foddering the herd- Pigs- Chickens- etc ALL had to be attended to prior to our Breakfast & the opening of The presents that were under the Tree-- Mostly Underpants- New Blazer for school- Shoes--Sorry Boots! granddad wouldn't waste money on shoes---- But One year I got A Meccano set!! -Kept me occupied for Months on dark winter nights Because we hadn't even got electricity -Never mind a TV- & What Was a Laptop ? & you took a Tablet when you were Ill ;-) After Lunch The Animals had to be attended to again & the evening Milking done - Then Family & Neighbours got together for a drink ( or Two) prior to a whopping great Supper round the Kitchen Table-- Just a few memories of Christmas as a Youngster in the 1950sViewDate:

Would you welcome your GP surgery being opened 7 days a week?a change of medication caused my wife to have an anaphalactic episode/shock & ended with the GP informing me "There's nothing more I can do other than give her more Antihistamines" . So After a series of telephone calls I finally managed to get her seen at the local Hospital where a paramedic informed me It could be "Stevens-Johnson" syndrome which could be fatal! So then with her covered Head to toe in a horrid rash I was despatched home & told to "Keep her under observation" and make sure her tongue & throat didn't swell! It took three weeks for the rash to disappear & the next time the GP was visited he could not even remember the episode! So much for FAMILY doctors,ViewDate:

Should the World Cup be held in Qatar in 2022?No way Shape form or fashion Should this tournament be carried out in this country, The "right" to do so was obtained through "Under the counter means" these being Massive Palm Greasings ( And I don't mean the trees) The young people of the world use this game & therefore its organisers as role models/heros & it doesn't g ive them much encouragement to be honest when these organisers are "on the fiddle " to the extent that they are! Hopefully FIFA & its co-horts will soon get sorted outViewDate:

Is 65 too old to become a mother again?Too Many People chasing too little (And getting less by the day!) Of Food Water Accommodation & other stuff we need to keep the Human race healthy happy & wise & this Moronic imbecile Decides to add to the overpopulation by not one but FOUR more though she's already produced a sports team! . She should be well & truly ashamed of herself,ViewDate:

Should Britain stay in the EU or is now the time to leave?I'm afraid we are too far entwined into Europe to consider leaving Though I agree the EU needs "Restructuring" as various politicians have stated . The Brussels "Gravy Train" definitely needs Sorting out , As does the immigration issues , But I reckon we would be cutting our noses off to spite our face if we were to come out now!, Furthermore I think we would be crawling back a tad humiliated when we realised what we had lost in Business & economics.!.ViewDate:

Should National Service be reintroduced in the UK?Damn Good Idea ! I Remember Lads that were put in the various services to do their National service: On entry they could barely read & write, When they re-entered "Civvy" street Two years later they Were armed with a trade , And there were those who decided to make the services their career & remained in. Thing is though they probably entered as scruffy rebellious teenagers but the majority came out as smart respectful young People,ViewDate:

Is it right for the EU to impose refugee quotas on the UK?Sooner or later someone will have to take the "Bull By the horns" and deal with the traffickers that make it possible for these individuals -- by first Conning them into believing Europe is paved both in gold + free living etc, Then robbing them of their meagre possessions & dumping them in a life threatening situation at sea, By "Dealing" I don't mean just simply discussing the problem in various places I mean a co-ordinated REAL EFFORT!- by Europe to wipe out this inhuman racket,ViewDate:

Do you take notice of dietary and medical advice regarding healthy eating?I.ve Always understood that as well as being a vital part of life Food should be one of the PLEASURES of life : BUT it seems as soon as you find some that you are fond of; some "Expert" publishes a reason why we must not eat it, Furthermore after listening to the " Advice" meted out by a succession of these "Expert" Dieticians mostly who have lucrative posts within the Health industry I've come to a conclusion as to what to do with their "Advice" --- 90% of it File in the Rubbish Bin-- 10% save for something to entertain yourself on a cold night-- ;-),ViewDate:

Should households pay a universal flat-rate fee regardless of whether they own a TV?There should be NO charge (Other than a voluntary one for cable satellite or similar) advertising revenue should be used as it is abroad, -- But that's not the "British" way; That's:- If it moves-----------It needs a licence- & or tax! - If it DOESNT move -it needs a licence-&-or taxViewDate:

Do you find beards attractive?If I've got two days growth on I cant wait to shave it off , I think beards are damn unsanitary things - soaked with lunchtime tomato soup - Coffee - tea etc-+ egg yolk left over from Breakfast! They also make me think that the owner of said bushyness is attempting to hide either their identity or some heinous crime they have commited, On the other hand the price charged for a half decent razor these days is an Outlandish ripoff so you cant really blame a body for growing some "Face Fungus" Can you??ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?As Already stated "Do NOT FORCE others (Me included) To inhale dangerous by-products of your disgusting smelly habit I already suffer bronchil problems after years in the mining industry And don't want them aggrievating by inconsiderate nicotine addicts that cant wait til they get home to light up -
