  1. Perhaps the MP'S could be paid on outcomes? Didn't get it done, don't get paid just London living wage.
  2. Great for thorns but not as good as modern waterproof gear, they are horrible if you take them off at lunchtime and have to go back out, cold, stiff and damp on the inside. We are fortunate to have the outlet nearby and got my wife a synthetic waterproof jacket last year and we had a walk on the beach while it tipped down and kept her cosy and dry, I was in my tweed jacket but I wouldn't have liked to be in waxed cotton.
  3. OK let's just work with this first. I presume you mean naive, which is incorrect usage of the word as I indicated above I have knowledge of socialism, whether it works now has nothing to do with it. Secondly what you describe is a form of capitalism as the farm is owned (by the farmer not the workers). Next I was going to write more but I can't be bothered as you need to do a bit of work yourself I can't do it for you. Just Google socialism/means of production or wallow in your ignorance.
  4. Amazing, I was pointing out what socialism is in this context and all of a sudden I'm the loony left...
  5. Not directly but I know that guys buying kayaking goods had to pay extra
  6. Never known them to be different sizes? Are you sure it is not the outer diameter of the key that doesn't fit into the hole? The one's we have had in the last house and this have a slot to take a flat bladed screwdriver.
  7. Too simplistic. Man A gets a pay increase, the product he produces increases in price. Man B buys this product but unless he buys it daily then how on earth can he need a pay increase? True socialist control of means of production would feed back any surplus to society as a whole.
  8. Nice delicate flavour, not unlike wild brown trout.
  9. You can't put the lid on Pandora's box, when it is out it is out. Even if you could close down the country immediately it would still be a virus and capable of spreading, using the same logic we were culpable as we didn't stop all flights in and out.
  10. No, ask the local gun shop to take them in while it gets sorted, fairly cheap to do.
  11. Yeah, grayling and perch, very nice to eat. Nice to see a minimum/maximum limit.
  12. I travelled to Spain a in October and there were no checks. We still have covid here so apart from prevalence what's the difference?
  13. Circular argument, doesn't work for either party.
  14. What size? I have 3 1/2" 12g or do they have to be 3" and/or smaller 12g?
  15. No, I genuinely didn't have a clue what you meant. However like I said it was just a theory and as I have no proof then it must be "twaddle" according to your twaddle or proof dichotomy, so I don't think anything else needs to be said.
  16. Did I? "Really? Please enlighten us as to where the first humans came from? East Grinstead? Outer space?" (My first reply no request for proof just what your thoughts were) Your reply... "Who knows, and if anyone tries to tell you they know, they are lying. They are just guessing. So yes really, utter twaddle, it's just an opinion. Or do you have proof Remind me, when did written records start, was it million of years ago, or maybe the time machine has been invented after all" So the question remains, can we have 100% scientific proof and the answer is no. So we have to weigh up the evidence and I'm not going to Google lots of links I'm sure you can do that yourself, but I am pretty sure that the scientific concensus is that human beings evolved in Africa and eventually left there and spread around the world. Proof 100% is not going to happen and you put that in your argument as a slam dunk, mic drop but it isn't because if you do that for one theory then it should be applied to all, hence the tangent. You don't have an alternative theory which is good otherwise it would be open to the same 100% proof argument and as such I have to agree with @Rim Fire that I am to the best of my knowledge (but not 100% positive) being trolled.
  17. Strange how a tongue in cheek reply gets the inmates all of a tizz! I gave what I thought was as full an answer as possible without giving addresses and birth certificates but it wasn't enough for the person asking the question of where I am from. Then Newbie kicks off with a method of denying any scientific theory not backed up with proof, bonkers!
  18. Yes it is but you either apply that to other theories or you are just messing about hence why I went off on a tangent on what we know and can know. Big bang theory...the theory of evolution...how much of this is twaddle yet is taken as the best solution for what is in front of us. If one is twaddle using your "no proof, total twaddle" measurement then you have to use the same for these and other theories. Another reason to deny that we originate from Africa is that you have a right wing Xenophobic mindset and to admit that is a no-no, but that's just a theory .
  19. So what is knowable? Gravity sucks, disc world on the backs of giant elephants/turtles? Written records of evolution, static state universe, Jesus...oh wait we have that one. I would also ask how can you know that no one knows as your theory evaporates up it's own behind as you can't know, due to your theory, what others know and/or the veracity of their knowledge.
  20. Just Google but I hope it helps... https://www.google.com/search?q=where+did+the+first+humans+come+from&oq=&aqs=chrome.2.69i59i450l15.-1j0j7&client=ms-android-samsung-gj-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 I'm sure that there are lots of peer reviewed academic papers if you want to get in amongst it but the general consensus is that we walked out of Africa and across the globe and I think that kind of infers that we all came out of Africa. I'm willing to listen to peer reviews of refutation of this theory.
  21. Oh,OK! What (actual) evidence do you put forward that refutes the theory that humans evolved from hominids in Africa and moved from there across the globe. Sorry, should I have said disc? Addendum * Difference between lying and guessing?
