MikeO Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hate stuff like this... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-33644320 Reward kids for not getting sick? Why? Happened at one of our kid's schools, she got a certificate for 100% attendance one term or year (don't remember exactly) and I thought then it was daft. Just encourages them to go in when they're poorly and infect half the class so they can get a bit of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the kids who go to school with the flu or a raging cold and infect everyone else. Children should not be penalized for staying home when sick. In fact, they should be rewarded.

Reprehensible, even if he did have the right permissions (which he didn't). What possesses "educated" people to be so stupid? Hunting these magnificent animals gets me so fucking angry, legal or not. How can they pose with the dead animals afterwards like they're proud of killing an animal that didn't even know they were part of the game? They shoot them from a safe distance so there's fuck all risk to them and then pose for a photo like they did something great? Fuck that. I'd like to see them get up close with a lion and try and kill them then. I'd pay money to watch that. I once saw a woman posing with a giraffe she'd killed. A fucking giraffe! What exactly was the challenge in that? People use the insult of "you're like an animal", but humans are worse than animals. Much worse.

Ricky gervais had a right do with her...she claimed the animal was old and she was doing it a favour or summat..He said he'd happily do it for her or summat like that. Also once said that he'd pay for a team of snipers to be on the lions side to make it a fair fight..love the guys views on animal rights Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post johnh Posted July 30, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Was talking to my brother today, don't know why the following cropped up but thought one or two on here might be interested. My father took me and my brother to see his grandfather, the only time we ever saw him. This was in about 1947. During our visit, great grandfather asked us which team we supported. As football had started again after the war we had already been to see Everton and we told him that we were 'blue's'. He said 'good' and then went to a draw and took out a grubby white stiff collar, the type that were fastened with a stud. He laid it out on the table and said 'this collar has the autographs of the whole Everton team who won the cup in 1933'. I remember he showed us Dixie Dean's autograph and he allowed me to touch it. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck. We never went again and that was the only time we ever saw him. He died the following year aged 88. I wish he'd have given us the collar with the autographs on, would be worth a bit now! Great Grandfathers name was Charles Henesy born 1860 died 1948. He was a bookbinder and worked for Rockliffe's Printers all his life. Rockliffe's are still going in Long Lane. He told us that he was invited to the party that was held in Liverpool to celebrate the cup win. Don't know what his connection with the club was.

Louis Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 There was a good dark joke about it on The Last Leg, they referred to the death of Cecil the Lion as a beheading so bad even ISIS are refusing to take responsibility for it. I like Gervais, I recently watched Extras again. It still holds up. His stand up shows are poor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
