TICTH democracy. Especially when it gets you a huge majority of one party in parliament who then feel they can do what they bloody well like with impunity -- and can, too, because there`s no-one to stop them. Except the other members of the party, who are too wussy to even try.

I`m talking, of course, about letting Sinn Fein people use parliamentary offices despite their refusing to swear the oath of allegiance. I mean, what do they think the bloody thing`s for? And then we get Keith MacNamara wanting to reform it because people don`t like saying it. Well of course they don`t. If they did like saying it there`d be no need for it. How about we take all that "truth" stuff out of the oath that witnesses have to swear in court, so they`ll find it easier to say?

Other monarchies manage to have an oath of allegiance that doesn't invoke the monarchy in that way to allow the republicans not to compromise their beliefs. But would they take it? on the grounds that they believe GB parliament has no authority in the 6 counties

But I agree about Sinn Fein, on the grounds that it was ruled out of order by the then speaker, and should remain so for the rest of this session.

But it's not about the monarchy Karl, it's about authority. Sinn Fein would not want an oath of allegiance to anyone or any country other than Eire.

So while we're about it I'll CTH the current Speaker Michael Martin who is the least independent and commands the least respect of anyone to have held that office in the entire 800+ years of UK Parliamentary Democracy.

I agree with the sentiment of the last 4 posts! Either they are members of Parliament and take their seats in the normal way, or they are not and should stay totally away from Westminster!

BUT - any bets/odds on them taking their seats within the next twelve months after 'President' Blair decides to modify the oath of allegiance - to the European Community' perhaps

'Government by the people, of the people and for the people' - does it exist anywhere?

What we ought to have done, of course, is, as soon as they refused to take the oath of allegiance, said "You won`t take the oath? You can`t be a Member of Parliament. Oh dear, there`s no MP for this constituency. Right, by-election!" and keep on doing it until you got someone who was prepared to take the oath.

Too late now, of course..

Today - RIGHT NOW - I consign to Hell the place I used to work at. I am currently out of work, having resigned. I had been assured (verbally only) that I would be paid until the start of March, or even April, to give me time to find another proper job. Therefore I have been putting my energies into looking for long term employment, instead of a temporary stop gap. What do I get today? My P45, and a letter saying December's salary is my last. I feel as though I'm in a boxing match. I've been knocked to the floor, I'm just pulling myself up, and now I've been kicked in the nuts! And tomorrow I move out of the flat I love, which is both emotional and expensive. Merry Christmas?????

Sorry to hear about that Huw. Still can't believe that poeople can be that insensitive. My friend had the same thing happen to him last year (well not exactly - he was just made redundant 5 days before Christmas.) Do these people realise that job-hunting effectively stops for 2 weeks over Christmas? What do they think they're doing. Bunch of gits.

Anyway, all I can offer you are my prayers and best wishes over Christmas. All the best, Huw.

TICTH

1. washing machines that are temperamental.
2. people who get annoyed at you sending "religious" Christmas Cards. I mean huh? did someone completely miss the point here? I send relatively few cards anyway, only to those I care most about. If people are celebrating as "christmas" not "happy new year" or similar then I am going to send "christmas" cards.
Why can't they accept the card in the spirit in which is was meant - as a sharing in something personally special. I do send out "New Year" cards to some friends of mine, as they have explicitly said they don't celebrate Christmas. And they send me similar. perfectly grown up and satisfying way to behave.

21 people have been arrested for arson - there are 100 fires still burning through NSW and 20,000 fireys fighting them. Of the 21, 14 were aged 9-16. I consign these little shits to Hell (the adults can be spared for now because they will actually receive some punishment for their crimes), and as well as 'conferencing' they should use the bloody ratan on the bastards.

TICTH Generic medicines. These are non-brand name versions of branded medications, done cheaper.

In my case, without any of the positive effects, and with all of the negative ones. So, rather than risking any more generics, I have to use the branded product.

Thereby making them more expensive. Aaargh.

Presumably because you didn't open the can quickly enough.

Lesson: buy Cat Food in easy open sachets or ring-pull cans!

Let me see - you are trying to open a can, but the can opener is broken....

You have a cat with claws, teeth, and very little brain....

So - use the cat's claws or teeth to open the can with!

Agree about cats at the moment.

We don't have one but have visitations from next door as our door has a cat flap we can't shut!

Last night he let himself in the bedroom at 1 AM and started scratching at the window. On being thrown out and the door closed he sat & scratched & miaowed until the door was kicked very hard from our side.

This morning he thought he deserved love & affection so wrapped himself around my legs & miaowed whilst I was running around trying to make my packed lunch - aargh

I do like cats really but sometimes they are such a PIA

Thanks - Yes. I am on the other side of Oz and Nunc is in the suburbs nearer Sydney 10 and 20 mins drive away from some fires she wrote on the Aussie Meet thread. But David the Admin is in the Blue Mountains, parts of which I understand have suffered damage and where changes in wind direction could be crucial. Other Sydney people who posted on the Aussie Meet thread are: mad mitch, Chris, David Hand, and gnat99, but didn't say where they were.

There are now 80 fires burning, but conditions in the next few days will be hot and windy which will make containment harder.

Sorry not very hellish. And probably should be posted in All Saints.

I hope they make the kids involved actually help clean up damaged homes and talk to people whose houses/properties/sheep/cattle have been destroyed.

TICTH the bushfires, again. Ad the arsonists. I believe they should be put in a cage, doused with petrol and then set alight. I mean, they obviously like fire, right? They deserve to pay, for destroying people's homes, for ruining people's lives, for making people like my father have to go and fight the fires.

Which also means, our holiday is off, as dad is fighting fires and as such can't go. Not that I want him to stop doing it, I can get over it, but if those bastards hadn't lit the fires we'd be at the beach, and Dad wouldn't be surrounded by flames!!!

DAMN THOSE ARSONISTS!!!!!

The fingers themselves weren't damaged in the printer. The broken bones are from what I did to him having discovered what he had done ( joke - I don't want Social Services on me ).It's probaly a good job I'm not really a violent psycopath. IRL at least.

1. Write a letter to the head of the student funding section at your LEA, copy to your local council. Point out to them that they've overpaid you and you want to know how to return the money.

2. If within 2 weeks the LEA hasn't responded, remind them politely, again copied to Councillor.

3. If no reply after a month, write to Director of Education, copied to local councillor, asking why you've not heard.

TICTH local authorities.

TICTH Thameslink Trains. To get an idea how they operate their "service", rearrange the following words to make a well known phrase or saying:

in a brewery piss up couldn't organise a

Since returning to work after Christmas, my train in the morning has been late every single day. The only reason I was on time on Monday was because I caught the previous train that was running half an hour late. Yesterday, the train was cancelled, but they didn't bother telling us until half an hour after it was due to leave. As for this evenings journey home it was virtually non existent. A whole section of the line had been closed, so I had to walk in the pissing rain to the station where they were terminating and then had a 25 minute wait. It amazes me that they have the nerve to charge money for this service.

The government and the green lobby are trying to persuade us to leave our cars at home and use public transport instead. Well, bollocks to that! I've tried to do my bit, but as I can't rely on the trains, I'd rather sit in a traffic jam than put up with this crap. From now on, I'm driving to work

TICTH mice infestations. Hall's got one. A big one. Environmental health's been called out to deal with it.

I arrived back yesterday from a week away to be woken at 1am by sounds of ripping from my food box. Shaking it, out popped a mouse, and then I lifted the lid to find it had shredded a packet of dried soya mix, and there were droppings everywhere. Yuk. I've just finished tidying up and getting everything remotely food-like WAY off the floor, and throwing out all the stuff that had been spoiled.

I'm doubly annoyed because I don't want the mice all killed, but there's no other way to end the infestation - Hall isn't big enough for all of us.

It didn't help that the friend I told this to tonight (yes, you know who you are!! ) told me about someone else who has a mouse problem and who recently woke up to find one in bed with him! Well, aren't I going to sleep well tonight, especially as it'll be exploring now its food source has gone...

Cos of course, drivers never get held up, do they? On my walk to work, I cross the new M11 extension. Sometimes ( say once a week ) it is solid.

That's especially inexcusable nowadays when libraries have copy machines so people can copy what they want.

ticth humanity for being generally clever arses and doing things *just because they can*, which is a really stupid idea, as we have proved over the course of our existence. every time we invent something new there is a big uproar about how this will change our lives and make them better. and most of the time the invention *could*. but instead we see how much we can ruin, mutilate, devastate, and generally bugger up both our world and its other inhabitants.

TICTH The evil son of the most foul who decided to "borrow" 95% of the house contents from my in laws. And the car as well.

Whilst I'm at it I also CTH spades which are used to wrench open windows especially when it was my only unbent one.

And finally I CTH the incompetent Metropolitan "we couldn't spot a crime if someone nicked our police station" so called Police Force. Who when informed of a crime in progress by a neighbour respond we'll be round in an hour or two. And for their incredible ability not to take any salient details when they did finally f'ing turn up 7.5 hours later. Apparently they didn't have time to record the VIN number / license / make / model of the car so it still isn't registered as stolen.

Useless f**kwits. They will burn

People telling me that exams are getting easier.

Little ****s who follow me into the courtyard just to shout abuse. (we have a gated courtyard, and it takes an age for the gate to shut, and they sneaked in.

No chance of then locking the gate and shutting them in for a day or 2 I suppose?
