  1. Living in a zoo is "is tolerably OK".

    It's generally comfortable, even if your neighbours aren't from your part of the world and basic needs like food and water are met.

    But you're not free, you can't decide your own future and the fences mean that you can't go out into the big wide world.

     

    Weirdly, some of the older animals used to live here wild and the zoo's fences were built around them; but many of the younger ones who were born in the zoo aren't even sure that they can survive in the wild.

     

    Fences like the Berlin Wall methinks.

  2.  

    Look nearer to home Jim

     

     

    King Richard 11 married a 6 year old girl.

    Lady Margaret Beaufort, wife of Edmund Tudor, who was months from turning 14 when she gave birth to Henry VII in 1457.

    We have laws to stop that now, but these newcomers seem to prefer medieval practices.

  3. The whole of the Islamic way of controlling women seems to be based on the fact that the blokes can't suppress their libido with booze. I understand that 'The Prophet' married a 12-year-old girl.

  4. At the end of one of the Middle East skirmishes, a leading BBC correspondent went into the enemy area in a wheelchair and wearing a Burka to hide his identity. Go figure!

  5. You and chesters must be better at this game than me Jim. I'd no idea what that meant! It could have been something Paul had seen written on the side of a bus for all I knew.

     

    John.

    The take is that, because Britain has been invaded a few times over the last 2000 years, we are all descended from immigrants, so can't complain about letting any more in. I am possibly 1/16th German.

  6. Becaus unlike those who voted Brexit I am not a quitter.I have family in France. If Brexit is a disaster I can go and live in France. Nigel Farage can bugger off to Deutschland with his Kraut wife. What will you do?

    Sounds like you would be happier with all those happy people in North Korea or Venezuela, but I expect you have sobered up this morning.

  7. That would be a hellish thing eh? We might end up like Denmark or Finland or The Netherlands or Canada or Norway or even New Zealand. That would never do, we may even end up with a country with happy people rather than a shower of old misery guts.

     

    That's the problem with you old beggars. It's not about what is best for UK Plc, its about what is best for the bloody Tories.

    So why don't you go to live in Holland?
