General Discussion Area / Re: I've discovered how to keep my dog amused
« on: 12 August 2015, 22:29:45 »Open the kitchen door and wait for a big, buzzy fly to come in (small, quiet ones are not so good), then close the door so it can't escape. Hours of fun for her as it annoys her and she tries to catch it. Saves the afternoon walk.
Ah but there is a flaw in your plan STEMO, she needs a walk to go for a wee...........
My dogs don't go wee, they go woof!
Oh, & nice to see you back Steve, you old reprobate!

Good God chaps, I don't mean me!!!
I've recently come into brief contact with a new (not so near, thank goodness!) local resident, who is a Muslim Convert. He has three wives, two children by No.1, one each by the two others, all Sudanese Immigrants who arrived here in 2013 with parts of their extended families . All claim Benefits , he claims they pay no Council Tax, get Housing Benefit, DLA for one wife and himself, wives No. 2 & 3 claim Carers Allowance for each of them respectively, and Attendance Allowance for one M.I.L., plus a Motability Zafira car! To cap it all they live in a rent free 4 bed Semi and the Local Authority Landlord is adapting the adjoining house to make an 8 bedroomed property for them!
This B******d is openly boasting that the local Muslim Elders & Imam can, I quote: 'pull strings & run rings' around the local Labour run Authorities and they fall over backwards to accommodate them and that this is their 'Reward' for following 'the only true and Righteous teaching of Islam!
Now I dare say he is 'Gilding the Lily' to a certain extent for 'effect', and he is certainly a sad sack and a poor physical specimen of his kind, but if even half of it is the truth it is a bloody disgrace! We have enough of our own lowlife to look after without any more coming here and going straight to 'Easy Street'.
To my mind, it reinforces the view that we need to close our Borders to all but vetted Immigrants until the current situation is resolved and a system that works properly for the good of the Country is in place. Rant Over!

How about a Dell Latitude 14 Extreme Opti, built especially for the more er........ heavy handed user?
Or a Panasonic Toughbook? supposedly very rugged!
Or the Amrell ROCKY RT (never heard of this one) it doesn't tick all your boxes but should survive the odd marital disagreement?

Serious question.
I'm a white, UK Citizen born & Resident here. My question is, if I decided to convert to the Muslim faith could I legally in UK Law take multiple wives as that faith allows

Cilla Black has died at her Spanish home of natural causes at 72.
Whether you liked her or not she was a big influence on British music
and Domestic tv for decades and another milestone nearer to my turn!

Well anyone who has met me knows how tall and skinny I am, some of the blokes and, a couple of women, where all rather large, ex Police, Army and Prison Officers, and little old me!!! Talk about being up close with others
STMO and Gixer would have been in their element............
