I believe that a monarchy is good for Britain overall. However the problems that arise seem always to involve those of the minor royals - the so called members of the Royal Family. The whole shebang needs streamlining.

Basically you've just gotta watch your carb intake to improve your health. For fellas generally, going much over 2500 carbs a day will see a weight increase unless you're very active. I love my tucker and can easily pile on weight, so I found that cutting potatoes and processed food out of my diet completely and replacing it with green vegetables has been sufficient for me to lose 9 pounds over a six month period. Plus potatoes are quite soporific, so my energy levels are now much higher.

Generally Speaking Do You Support The Police?
by minimus ini know bad cops exist in many cities.
i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

Ewart Chitty
by NoAbuse inewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.
the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.
the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

Was Paul A false Prophet?
by saorean ini ask the question on the title because there a quite a number of statements the apostle paul made about the coming of jesus and resurrection of the holy ones that never fulfilled.
1 corinthians 15: 51, 52 (nwt) : .
i tell you a sacred secret: we will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.

The 1988 novel "the Mission", author Patrick Tilley, had a plot based on the idea that Paul was actually Satan come to Earth to undo the the work of Jesus. It's set in the modern day and starts off with the discovery of a body in New York City. Only the body has a wound in it's side and also to the hands and feet plus the blood tests can't be explained...

Canadians and Europeans, what do you think of your national health care ?
by RubaDub inwe have been in a battle over health care for so long here in the us regarding public, private, gov't subsidized, obama care, medicare for all, and just about every permutation of the above.. we hear the horror stories here that people wait 20 years for a check-up (ok, bit of an exaggeration), but you get the point.
one side tells us that canadians flock across the border when they are sick and need to see a doctor.
the other side says that is simply not the case.. so tell us, if you live under one of the government systems would you replace it?

Point of interest: My 3 sons all seem to have had romantic liasons with American gals at some time in their lives. Whenever those ladies required the services of a medic or doctor, they all turned up at a NHS hospital and received treatment without question, again no charge was made.

UK Health care is pretty good IMHO. I need 4 different daily medications. 2 for blood pressure, 1 for cholesterol and one so I don't need to pee all the time. Being over 60 years old I don't pay a penny for my meds. Part of getting older is that joints can wear out, I have a fallen arch and need an orthotic, that too didn't cost me anything although I had a 12 week wait to see the guy at the muscoskelatal clinic.

I've just re-read the whole thing, so it's time for an update. Chris and I are now both retired. We're loving our role as grandparents, plus I'm free to get creative around the garden. I've become a quiz master at our local pub, so every other week or so I set up 50 questions for the 7 or 8 teams who turn up. I get paid in beer, so usually stagger home afterwards. Chris does part-time invigilating 2 or 3 times a year around school exam times which usually funds a couple of holidays abroad, either on Greek islands or maybe Spain and Portugal. We celebrated her 65th birthday recently, so we were able to take our children and grandchildren away to a villa in Majorca to celebrate. See the pic! I have no complaints about my past experiences - life turned around for me so well that I'll always cherish that which is so dear to me - our family.

This was posted many years ago by Duncan. I think it was his first Christmas:
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING (17/12/00)
This weekend was Christmas Shopping for myself and Mrs Duncan. We spent the day in crowded shops, fighting our way through the press of bodies, securing this years must-have toys and gadgets for our kids.
At one point, we split up, I needed to go to the cash machine to get some money. I walked to the end of the street where the bank was. Of course, the week before Christmas, there was a big long queue. My heart sank, but I settled down for a longish wait.
The line moved slowly. Step by step I got closer. At last, I was only second-in-line. But the chap in front seemed to be having some trouble.
“Oh bugger!”
“What is it, mate?” I said.
“I think the machine has run out of cash”
Typical! Still, not unexpected this time of year, I suppose.
Behind me a voice called out “Hey, what’s the hold up?”
“No money!” said the chap in front.
“What?”
“ NO MONEY!” he shouted back.
This caused a stir.
“You hear that? There’s no money! NO MONEY!”
People started pushing and shoving. A fight broke out. People were shouting.
“There’s NO MONEY!! Our cards are worthless! The system has collapsed! It’s ALL OVER!”
There were now people fighting and rolling around in the street. Blood everywhere.
Next thing I knew there was a tremendous sound of smashing glass, as two people came through a shop window, gouging and biting at each other. A car went out of control and ploughed into a group of people who had also stated fighting. Everywhere people were screaming that their money was worthless.
A woman appeared at an upstairs window and started throwing her gold and silver into the streets.
The sky suddenly filled with lightning, and the buildings all around seemed to simultaneously burst into flames. More vehicles in the street went out of control, and then suddenly a great fissure opened in the ground and people and children and dogs and ladies on bicycles and 50’s –style American cars started falling into it.
I noticed that some people near me fell to the ground as their eyes started rotting in their sockets, I could just about hear what they were saying, it was truly pitiful, their anguish:
“Why , oh, WHY didn’t we listen to Jehovah’s Witnesses when they called? We were too proud and wicked!”
Another chap further down the street was calling out. He has a serious head wound from some sharp implement – and he also had the eye-rotting thing. His teeth, though, looked fine. I could see he was gnashing them, so it was a bit difficult to make out what he was saying, but it sounded like:
“ I was too stiff-necked to listen to the message! I always knew Christmas was a Babylonish false religious festival, but I allowed my wickedness to blind me to the truth! Oh, for a Watchtower!”
This astonishing scene of devastation was playing itself out in front of me, and I had just about counted a thousand at my left hand and ten thousand at my right hand who had perished, when all of a sudden, the fellow who had been at the front of the queue said:
“Oh, no - wait a minute! I was keying in the wrong PIN number. It’s perfectly okay, after all!”
The skies cleared and the fighting died down. People’s eyes seemed to clear up and various groups of folk were standing up and brushing each other’s clothing off. People were smiling and wishing each other Merry Christmas.
The line reformed and we stood around watching the arrival of the emergency services moving in to deal with the casualties.
I got my cash and rejoined my wife, and we went to the carol service at our local church.
