Yet another round of endless sycophantic reporting and speculation over every palace press release. Steve.

Who knows, maybe even two,.... or three,....?????  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Watching the T.V. today caught a programme which included a family which consisted of mother father and 5 children, The parents were unemployed and didn't have any wish to be employed, both vented their spleens over the low amount of money they were getting and how they wanted more tax payer money to spend on the kids as they deserved to have the top of the range I pods and mobile phones to go with the Hugh T.V. mounted on the wall. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

yes funny old world, it happens down here as well. The government and the punters wished it didn't but it does.
If humans we not so emotional we could chuck them on the heap and suggest if they are not interested in helping themselves, we are not interested in you. But what to do with a 5yo brat destined for crime to survive, let alone his 4 siblings, mother and father. I know Medical research springs to mind? Maybe just out into a field and pop them, be more useful as fertaliser. My wife is a mid wife, they had a 22Yo in for her second last week. Staff found the 22Yo's mum trying to shoot her up with heroine before the delivery so she could cope. Honestly, what is going on in their heads. The whole family is , and destined to be . And as usual no father to be seen anywhere. Old enough to root, have an addiction, ruin kids lives, perhaps old enough to expire or leave the kids fend for themselves while mum passes out for a day or two. More fertiliser.

perhaps we could introduce a 2 and 6 rule.
2 chances: 1st chance is your allowed to get it wrong, make the mistake, we all do. Second chance is the opportunity to get it write. Correct the wrong so it doesn't happen again. However if you don't, it's 6ft down for you. Fair, and the choice is yours. My Defender and travels |

After spending most of my life working in agriculture I am hardened to the cruelty of nature and I can understand how nature works.........the weak die and the strongest survive. People are a totally different animal, I am absolutely flabbergasted on how the human race where the self important are hell bent on self destruction. Why is it when you see the nations unwashed griping on how their benefits aren't enough to get them the latest gaming devices, bigger flat screen telly, holidays in sunnier climes etc etc.
I have an autistic son and as I'm his sole carer I have to rely on Carers Allowance and Income Support, it just keeps my head above water but not for holidys or the latest gadgets, not that I want them anyway. I was speaking to my boys old junior Special Needs School headteacher not so long ago and she was telling me about the new intake into the school for the new year. Ten new children for the year, eight of them had unmarried mothers, three of them had older siblings who also had disability problems but the most frightening thing was that of the eight unmarried mothers, none of them were over 18! Two were actually under 16! Why oh why do we have to interfere with nature especially where the human race is concerned and that is me speaking as a parent of a child with a disability, nature is cruel but she has been doing a damn site better job of keeping this planet in one piece than man has, |

Television - Anyone noticed how it's utterly useless now...
I note were bombarded with the like Xfactor and Strictly yet again which I for one cannot stand nor do many people want.
Especially coming into the winter which will be tough enough to live with.  |

The Beeb keep telling us that Eastenders is true to life.
So everyone is at total all-out war with everyone else, all looking at ways to back stab each other. If today's kids believe that, it's no wonder they grow up as delinquents.  |
