While there are criticisms that can be levied against HMRC and tax collection, it is only a piece of the jigsaw. If we are establishing a direct link between central government expenditure and the provision of services at a local level, then, personally, i'd like to see other areas of Government expenditure cut, but as usual it seems it is not as simple as that. The Council are obliged to provide a service for which I pay a tax. That's the deal. I don't care who does it, as long as it gets done. If their workers go on strike, then they need to sort it out, either through getting rid or getting on. I have no direct sympathy for the dusties. It can be a ****e world out there. I've been made redundant twice in 6 years, and in that time had to take 9 months without any wage and an overall pay cut equal to about 35%.

How much do they actually earn? A few posters on here say they are low paid, but do not come up with any figures? I'd like to know for sure what their wages are and what overtime allowances they get. FWIW i couldn't actually give a toss who clears my bins. I pay the council a **** of a lot in council tax and if they can't control their own workforce, they should get someone else in to do the work instead.

Fight yer for yer bike.

http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thefisherspondeastleigh/ great on a nice day. The Otter is good inside, although the beer garden is poor. Potters Heron may be a bit far out, but worth considering if you have got some time.

An ex bird of mine did some modelling for Hoffmeister. Not fit or famous.

I think this shows you are the bigger bell end, knob, w@nker, etc, etc. It's simple really. If you don't like the forum, then ****ing do one.

Step up to the plate then spunkbubble and start posting something funneh.

As an antidote to this, i once took my motor to a mechanic as it had a problem with the starter motor (remember them!?). He said he'd try to repair it. When i went back and asked how he'd got on he said "The f***ing f***ers f***ed." i knew exactly what he meant and was impressed with his use of the word "f***" employing it as a noun, verb and aadjective in a 4 word sentence. Maybe some of our business leaders could adopt this approach to plain speaking instead of chasing blue sky ideas around a flagpole or whatever they do whilst they fiddle with their ********.

Leave the cucumbers in the bins and they will mutate; growing arms, legs and a 10 inch penis before going off to defile those on picket lines. Is that what they want, 'cos that's what'll happen.

You can try http://www.solentbrick.org.uk/ You are right about cleaning them off and palletising them. This can be a tough old job. I'd be suprised if you get 80p a brick though, unless they are something like tudor reds, in which case your extension would look very nice and not be a candidate for demolition! Quick measurement guide - 1m2 = 60 bricks in normal stretcher bond.

Getting a bit silly now. It's a bit patchy at the best of times, but this is getting stupid. When you add hot weather to the overflowing bins and street litter discarded by thoughtless pikes, it's not nice out there. time to get back to work fellas, else you'll only alienate the people.

Rik Mayall is much underused as an actor.

From memory, i think you speak on behalf of the bridemaids, ushers, etc. I toasted the bridemaids firstly and then the bride and groom and parents before launching into a rip roaring speech which went down about as well as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip.

Sadly taken too long to find this vile bastard, although glad it's happened. I spent all to brief a time in Bosnia, but it's a fantastic place, from the mountains of Jahorina to Mostar to Blagaj to Banja Luka. If anyone has ever thought that what happened in Germany during the 1940's couldn't happen in modern europe, then read The Graves by Eric Stover and look at the photos taken by Gilles Peress in the same book. I did whilst waiting in Sarajevo airport for a flight. Life changing moment.

What an old trout, no wonder the Welsh Wizard has been going over the side. Compare that to Anders missus. I know which one i'd rather be monking on.

I smell me some poontang

Nothing taken from mine either

Gone are the days when a footballer used to play up to a playboy image and parade around the fact he was banging anything that moved. OK, so the missus might get the hump, but if she knows which side her bread is buttered, she'll put up and shut up. But alas, todays pansy players are more concerned with their image rights with the corporates, than their image with the fella in the street. I blame Sky for taking the fun out of footballers philandering and fornication.

Where did you do bird then?

It all sounds so easy. Oh, hang on, we've got a railway line, gas storage facility serving half of the city and industrial units surrounding 3 sides of the ground. Not to mention the public highway on the 4th. Yeah, should be a piece of **** to buy all that up at once, no dramas.

lol

There was a piece in last weekends rags by his ex wife saying he got someone else to take the 3 points from a speeding fine so he wouldn't lose his licence, but it was fruitless as he ended up getting banned a few months later for another driving offence. Hardly Oaten-esque as a scandal and tbh, the piece was an example of the bitter, twisted ex having a pop 'cos he'd run off with another bird. But she may have more black on him, who knows?

lol

At the risk of demeaning the thread, they have a fabulously titled metro station called "Kunst Wet". I lol'd, although the wife wasn't impressed with my schoolboy chuckles.

I don't agree with the comments above! We went for a long weekend a year or so ago. The hotels are good value because there are loads to cater for the eurocrats during the week and empty at the weekend. It depends what turns you on, but the Grand Palace is terrific and there are some cracking museums and other sites too; The Horta, Musee Royal de Beaux Arts and Notre Dame du Sablon for starters. We found the place a bit "grey", but very chilled and non threatening. The restaurants and pubs are really good, especially for the queer beers they brew and there are some very nice restaurants. Shopping is good too. Because of the easy travel via eurostar and the relaxed atmosphere, we really liked it. Sure there are some pikey bits, but aren't there everywhere?
