Service! Please list. After his family was kicked out of Greece they had more sense than us, he has had a pampered life mostly at my, and your, expense. If you were happy to pay for it I certainly wasn't. I don’t like paying for rehabilitation of drug offenders, child molesters, rapists and murderers, families that consist of 10 kids who are left free to trash places while their parent(s”) spend their hard earned welfare receipts in Witherspoons,which actually cost me more than the Royal Family. And?

And what- the Royal Family have done more for the UK’s standing and BOP via tourism than that bunch of wastrels I referred to- and more of my taxes go on propping up the welfare state and our rehabilitation ( failure) programmes than go on the Royal family. I know which I’d rather prop up.

Not getting pissy, just saying no government in the history of our isle is squeaky clean, either side of the political divide. But what I can say as someone who lives in Japan is that the british governments response to vaccination is admired the world over, we here have not even finished vaccinating the healthcare workers, no ordinary folk have received the vaccine yet. So it's not your taxes they're siphoning off to their mates then? I still pay taxes in the UK, so yes, I'm the same as you.

Where did I say I wouldn’t find genuinely sick people? Druggies- their own fault, kiddie molesters murderers and welfare scroungers are the ones I wouldn’t prop up! Read what I said momo.

You are not born with it Momo- it’s a decision that an individual makes and that then takes away the ability to act rationally. It does become an illness but one that is self inflicted- and I’ve seen the impact of what drug addled behaviour does- including the imprisonment of addicts for incredibly serious offences, the results from which the affected individuals will not recover. So I’m sorry, but I don’t have sympathy for self inflicted addiction.

Given that the total amount of gold ever refined is approx 166,000 tonnes I doubt any of their palaces are actually made of solid gold, plus people would sneak in at night with a chisel to nick the odd brick here and there.

Even though geneticists have proven there are certain genome sequences that are strongly linked to an individual's likelihood of developing an addiction during their lifetime. So in fact 'they're not born with it' is a rather uneducated understanding of the nature of addiction. I dont blame you for taking the fair enough approach as most arguments become pointless after a certain number of exchanges.

The football has been cancelled down the Bet365 since about 2016.

With the funeral at 3pm, I wonder if football will be moved to accommodate it.

An afternoon of watching the test card to some solemn music would actually have been a considerable improvement this afternoon.

Can't we just have a gentleman's agreement with Preston and call it 0-0 draw ?
