Love to me is…When a person knows all your flaws and downfalls and still loves you just as much.
That does it for me.
Understanding that someone is imperfect (as we all are) and wanting and doing the best for them nevertheless.
Putting yourself second. So few people really do.
Feel bad contributing to this but – Jeremy Clarkson – he is so hacked off with everybody else all the time, I don’t feel bad being hacked off with him.
My sense of deep and growing unease with the world we live in.
Phew, got that off my chest.
Actually – also hacked off by the way the press are all cosy with the Eton duo and their party. They ain’t in it with the rest of the UK – they’re loaded and always will be. And they’ve never really done a job outside politics.
Oh and Simon Cowell.
And the overgrown hedge bit in the back garden.
And lap dogs with an attitude (little growly effers).
Time to stop.
:(
Always be there for people, you never know for how short a time you’re going to have that privilege.

What happened and why the punch up in the corner?
Personally I am pleased that there have been lots of goals and very little trouble in Poland or Ukraine so far. Long may it continue.
Maybe some peace and love could break out here as well.
:D
Football hooliganism taking a different direction…fist fights without getting ur knuckles brusied :roll:
Just some keyboard heroes.
They get tanked up on cheap tea then go out on the net, frighten some grannies and wave their handbags at people on match day.
(Can I make it clear that I am just making a gentle joke? Please don’t frighten my grannie – cos she’s dead, well both of them are really – or wave your handbag at me cos I’m clearly carefully dressed to want to fight and get my clothes messed up.)

We are the most densely populated island in the world. Our dream is rural – our reality is urban.
Perhaps we should just depict rural life with a couple of scenes from The Wicker Man and move straight to urban life depicted by young people, with no hope, burning, beating and looting. Welcome to Britain.
Only joking – even though there are lots of things wrong with this country, I’d rather be here and dealing with it, than somewhere else!
Looking forward to the Olympics, just not the opening ceremony, which after the Chinese spectacular might be a bit cringey.
Will be trying not to cry if we win a gold medal in the athletics. Big sentimental baby really.

My word is “apathy” but I don’t care enough either way to post it.
:P

Oh dear – that was said with feeling. :(
Not really that bad that we spent millions on the Jubilee.
The money would mostly have gone to firms and workers who needed it badly. It would actually have served to stimulate the economy, contrary to the current government who seem to believe that austerity actually works in a prolonged downturn.
The economy is not a grocer’s shop or a domestic budget. Gross overspending is damaging but the economy relies on money actually circulating around the system. I pay you, I get a service, I feel better, you get money to spend on someone else, they pay the government taxes which increases the total taxes they gather so they don’t have to cut so much and there is more money in the system – and so on.
The last time we tried these policies in Europe in a similar economic situation was the 1930s and we ended up with poverty, hunger, extremism, social collapse and the second world war. The Americans only came out of recession after a Keynesian stimulus package under Roosevelt. We only came out of recession because of spending on the war, after successive impotent governments had tried to cut our way out of it. Anyone fancy rise of fascism in southern Europe followed by massive war as the answer to our problems. No? Oh well.
Sure we needed a big cut in the public deficit – what we didn’t need was cutting so hard everyone remains too frightened to spend for several years, because their jobs (public or private sector) are at risk.
Not a great fan of the Royals, and would have preferred the money to be spend on hospitals, schools and roads, but at least the money is being spent.
