  1. Blimey Ally, I hope you remembered to put yer knicks on.....
  2. Jessie and her friend Murphy doing the "Why do we have to do this every year for a piece of turkey" look Nero in his "Yeh whatever" pose....
  3. Well with each pic you use you could add a caption and give a brief summary of the individual dog as well eg - This is XXX he is X years old and was a rescue dog. Now lives with 3 kids 4 cats and a bunny rabbit.......blah......blah You know what i mean...
  4. Because there are so many good pics, if you are going to do a write up on each breed, would it be possible to have a selection of pics for each breed? eg - January could be "GSD" month and have 5 or 6 pics from different people Just a thought
  5. http://s35.photobucket.com/albums/d183/ita...¤t=DSC00068.jpg How many more do you want? LOL Pasq x
  6. Sleeps With Angels - Neil Young (I wonder if Robbie Williams will be next )
  7. After 4 weeks - my comp is working again (just) MEGA BUMPPPPPPPPPPP......
  8. It's working? Are peoples rabbits feeling funky? ???????????
  9. Somehow i was expecting you to be the first to laff at that one.......
  10. Ain't gotta clue about what's going on in this thing....... HOWEVER....... I shall send snails and tickle peoples rabbits if it makes them feel funky
  11. Well I'm with Northern Rock (my mortgage provider) and they insure me for DOUBLE my mortgage value payment to cover living expenses (gas / electric / council tax/ secured loans etc... for 24 months if due to sickness / accident / enforced unemployment (termination of contract prematurely) for an extra £17 / month on my mortgage payment AND i get free "emergency service" (broken boiler / pipes / roof) etc.... thrown in...
  12. Thay are NOT a by-product they are THEMSELVES....... TY PS - If you are self employed (like me) spend £10 a month on insurance for when you don't work (to cover your average wage) and you should be OK Well you should be claiming on the fact that your mom CANNOT work.....
  13. Yes, I don't disagree BUT there WASN'T a decision to have 12 kids - it was a combination of two partnerships and the "fruit" of that partnership - I presume (probably incorrectly) that they didn't look at the benefit aspect of it because they (appear) to be in love...... Difficult one (and I don't know the individual circumstances), but if your mom has worked all her life i presume she has paid tax / NI / etc...all her life IF this IS the case - the situation is wrong... If your mom is getting SSP - your dad can claim an allowance for looking after her - carers allowance which i am told will be the ammount of time he would earn at work (at the hourly rate he would actualy earn) for remaining at home to look after your mom... Maybe it is (the budget figure) BUT if this IS the case - be thankful that you live in a society that spends this kind of money for the populous....... I REFUSE to comment on the "migrant" theme..... I AM a migrant (dad was Italian) and he contributed MORE tax to the UK government than anyone else I know - AND he owned 2 restaurants when he died - giving dozens of people work.... I (being the SON of a migrant) IN YOUR WORDS!!! have been brought up with both Anglo / Italian parentage, seen the benefits and misfits of both cultures - have FOUGHT in a Gulf War (Italian National Service) and TBH have never been given ANY benefits from ANY country despite the SH*TE i went through....(I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT IT!!!!) - I have seen the money that war demands - I do not lie.......
  14. So are blondes dumb then? What about grey haired? Is that silver?
  15. Just another speculative post to make people think (because I like to) I find it interesting how a lot of people are saying things along the lines of "I don't like the fact / I resent etc.... that my taxes are paying for them....." Personally, I'm not that bothered, because I know (hopefully ) that if my circumstances should change the government would be able to help me. What I DO resent is the fact that far more of my taxes are being spent on a war in the Middle East (where countless lives are being lost) that should not have come about in the first place
  16. Just skipped through this thread and I am not going to judge the family concerned, but I think there is an argument for a decent standard of living in the UK, which it has become apparent that a lot of people cannot afford and by that I mean decent accomodation at a fair price with a council tax system that really does need updating. Nobody has questioned whether it is against the parent's religion to not use birth control methods - it is a possibility (but I doubt it), but he has shot himself in the foot about saying he is better off through NOT working - I'm pretty sure the Jobcentre would have 'phoned him by now. Just as a side note (and in my experience) this sort of thing does not happen abroad. Firstly, because the Welfare State (as it is pretty much unique in it's English guise) doesn't exist to the same extent and secondly because there appears to be more of an extended family unit abroad whereby there is (usually) someone close at hand to help should the going get a bit too tough.
