"Cut welfare" is an easy headline. You're just making noise. You need to explain what you actually mean. No child benefit? No benefits for people who can't work? No benefits to help people who are between jobs and actually looking for work? No state pension? Etc.

No idea mate, was years ago. The only one (or ones) I've tried since involved him going back to his car and injecting himself or some such, and riding a motorbike across roofs. Nonsense.

The ones I've tried have been so bad it's put me off them all. The only time I've ever walked out of a cinema is during a bond movie. The sad thing is, I love a decent spy movie or series - Tehran at the moment is class, for example. That's what I see as believable, not Bond.

Yep, shockingly shit imo. Just don't get the appeal, apart from the female casting. On the whole I don't like ridiculously far fetched or cheesy stuff, and Bond movies fall into both camps.

Aliens, anything Star Wars, and anything Bond. All bollox imo.

I thought it was decent tbh. Weird, but decent. Definitely no classic though.

Nonsense. These headline seeking articles compare apples with kebabs. A female teacher earns the same as a bloke, ditto copper, civil servant, etc. Sure, more women work in lesser roles in schools as they want the holidays off, but for there to be a genuine pay gap, they'd have to be earning less than a bloke for the same job, which they aren't.

He's a DJ. We all know that.

I didn't know that. None of the holy books/organised religions do it for me.

Dunno. I thought it was infinite. If it's not, I'm intrigued what's at end/sides. Must be like the world in the Trueman show.

It was your comment!

That's an alternative theory. Walls around the sides?

People can believe in creationism re the universe, and the scientific view after the initial creation, and believe in a God or not. There's theories and beliefs beyond the book of Genesis. I don't get why people think it's a binary choice of that idea, or the wholly scientific one.

Indeed. Or, conversely, may have evolved as developed for thousands or millions of years, thus have technologies and scientific advances that we can't even contemplate - we went from the Wright Brothers to Space in 58 years. We only know what we know, and have.

Shouting

That's your perspective. Seems close minded to me. Each to their own.

Hmm. Conflating ideas for me. It's Entirely possible to believe in God but not aliens, and vice versa, or both, or neither.

Why need "certain" to believe in the likelihood of something probable? Do you honestly believe that in the infinity of the universe that there's no other life?

Err, ok. You're thinking of the book, and conflating concepts. I've got a physicist mate who believes in the creationist theory, and no plenty of atheists/agnostics who believe in either creationist or big bang.

Girls

Yep. I had a friend (since passed) who moved to Oz. The most straightforward and honest guy you'd ever meet. He talked of being by the sea in Noosa and everyone stopped to look at a huge thing in the sky, silent and still, then watching it move away silently at an "other worldly" speed. He died skint and used all he had to commission a picture of what he saw for his daughter. Absolutely no reason to doubt what he said he saw.

Ha!! I couldn't imagine how it would be to find it necessary to have clear and tangible evidence of everything.

Not sure why God gets mentioned on an Aliens thread. Odd. Re, Aliens, it's incomprehensible that we're the only civilised life form in an infinite universe.

That's exactly it. There's a player in there, and Tonda clearly wanted him to get some minutes in, and boost his confidence. Playing him off the big man should have taken the pressure off a bit as well. Fair to say it didn't go well.
