If all humans ate insects across the world there would be no lack of protein in any diet and we could devoted more land to growing crops for human consumption rather than rearing animals.

IHMO

Will the Vegetarians be happy with the ethics of eating insects instead of animals ?

The above statement sometimes makes me wonder how people associated in the manufacture of this product, from the shareholders down, can sleep at night.

And yet no mention of how well the tax recipients sleep at night, one of which the speaker is.

Another f'n hypocrite.

I do believe all that tax is necessary for the upkeep of the health service ....which is being drained of it's resources from treating smoking related illnesses.

That's a Falacy, as you can see from this link the tax earned from tobacco products is in billions of pounds,while the cost to the NHS is much less!

No need to be provocative,you already know the answer!

."but I highly doubt that this guy will spend a single day in jail"

You have answered your own question!

Here's a another horrendous statistic!

For someone to believe in karma they must also believe in reincarnation.

Otherwise how would a baby that is born deaf, dumb and blind be able to get through life without understanding that the reason for their deformities was the result of what they were in their previous life?

IMHO, karma is a form of control, the same as religions. If that is your belief, great, be happy in this life. If it works for you as a crutch for all that is wrong in this world, assuming we are talking about wholesome karma, then make it so, and enjoy.

Obviously, the above is only the way I see it. I truly believe that there should be no restriction in what anyone wants to believe, as long as the results of that belief don't bring grief or harm onto others.

Karma happens with or without for the most part external influence,that maybe why,it's so inexplicable!

Are you certain they are high voltage?

After you!

Amazing, high voltage wires below the telecom cables. When I see telecom repairmen start to work anywhere, I have to turn my head and walk away.

Third world Electricity connection. Come the Monsoon time,the dangers will be all too apparent ! and water by the bucketful running around power boxes,a common site!

The problem with karma is it losess it's whole point if you can't remember your past life.

And do you remember your past life? assuming there is a past life of course!

At least he didn't marry someone in California. A divorce there would have cost him at least 50% of his net worth. Believing that a woman truly loves you there can be a real disaster if you are mistaken and there's absolutely no possibility of getting your money back. Losing 350K here doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

Not just California. How much did Heather Mills take Paul McCartney for?

24 Million pounds,peanuts for McCartney!

Would be interesting to see who was the most generous in the community.

But don't hold your breath its going to be a Thaksin!

Can't see Costas2008, anywhere..............Forbes, can't be so well informed.

I expect this to be rectified next year.

But Forbes is well informed,that's why they know Greece is Bankrupt! and it will be many years (if at all) before they have too many Billionaires! But good luck anyway!

yes you are all correct, sorry, it was not a flu, was a bronchitis. I cough a lot if I don't wear a mask on my scooter and it will kill me.

A valiant effort to get off the hook!

However there is still this to contend with.....

I blogged about The King (Elvis) and I ( No Pun Intended) jammin at Baan Rim Paa in Phuket at

Patong Beach , The beach with a Name but no Chairs !

Humming the Horse with No Name tune by America while you read my rap but I dislike Rap ,

so lets call it a Rant & Roll .....it helps :

You see I been to the Beach with no Beach Chairs , It felt bad to to sit in the hot sand ,

but the police at the scene , seemed to act very mean,

but from police that's expected and sometimes detected , not right if ur not protected ,

if you burn ur butt and it gets infected

and that can happen when you been to a beach with No-Chairs , La La la di de Da ,didi La La la di Da !!!!!!!!!!

In the early 90's , he played harmonica and Tommy Doyle was on piano , he is sorely missed in Thailand !

Very forgetable !

I don't know if the Bars still close dead on midnight? if they do,it's quite an experience to be escorted to the Bar to pay your check bin,and then almost thrown out in the space of 3 minutes!

Things to look out for? again unless it's changed,watch out for heaps of Cannabis available,which can get you in big trouble,just being in the same Bars with users!

CAGE, which works with Muslims in conflict with British intelligence services, said Thursday its research director, Asim Qureshi, saw strong similarities but due to the hood won by the militant, "there was no way he could be 100 percent certain."

Just saw an interview with some CAGE scumbag on BBC complaining of Jihadi John's poor treatment at the hands of the UK anti-terror services and his alienation from British life. Just one excuse after another and not a mention of the beheadings or the victims and their families. He was described as 'a beautiful man'. Made me sick and reminded me of some apologists here.

At the same press conference was some sad convert complaining of being questioned over his visit to Iraq and the subsequent restrictions imposed by the government. Not a word on WHY he went to Iraq. CAGE should be banned under anti-terror laws.

I fear for the UK. I really do.

Now come on you know that,Ji hadi John had a perfectly had a reason for his

Now reason

It is where he belongs

Shame Saville wasn't around to share the same fate.

Agreed! and there are still very prominent figures who are as guilty as Savile. IMO I liken him to be the face of total corruption,but not as clever as those that in power, who were covering up for his gregarious extrovert showmanship,in short he was taking the piss out of his many victims,(Floughting) the fact he had protection from those at the top) his victims which ranged from 6 year olds to 75 year olds, showed the world an insatiable animal!

One thing this whole Shameful episode has taught us all: "trust no one with your children", no sleepovers,no school camps,no school trips to zoos and overnight stays,basically do not let your children out of your site, wherever these people are covering their tracks it matters little to them to! be perpretrater or prosecuter ! and may those who knew he preyed on those that could not protect themselves,be ashamed,and join Glitter/ Gadd,when proven,in a long .....long sentence!

At 70 he is on borrowed time, it's comforting to know he is unlikely to walk out of prison a spritely 86 yearly old! im sure the victims will not have a problem,with that!

Who would agree to work 24/7/365?

From what I gather many Thais have monthly contracts with 2 days off a month!which is not exactly generous!

I am bedridden, enquired about full time nurse, live in /out. I was quoted 1200 baht per day.

Sorry to hear that colinneil. I admire your honesty!

I have no idea what you are rambling on about.

But i'm sure its not for me!

Anyone remember this one?

Sighhhh... no offence to the OP but I can't help feeling sorry for this desperate young women!

A most definately one hit wonder!

I must confess I never knew this all time favourite instrumental players name until today! was Mason Williams.

35 years since I first heard it,and it still ranks amongst the best guitar pieces ever!
