hi.welcoem to site.most are friendly though sadly there a few whom cant stand each other and it can descend into a farce of insults. best to leave and come back later . nudity is best not mentioned as irrelevant here but each to own. I am not allowed to be nude as it frightens wife …lol
hi. welcome to chat room. sceptical is spot on. though some nice friendly folk use room it has a few you may find best to avoid. probably same in other chat rooms too. however do say hi when around . we don’t bite. well at least not until dinner time..lol
cant answer for my brother whom owns a harley ‘fatboy’ . he wears crash helmet . decent riding boots and leather jacket. jeans are some sort of woven material also used in racing cars . carbon fibre based I think? as an ex police motorcyclist an traffic officer he has seen many incidents cars. bikes and pedestrians. not aware w get 40 C here in UK but have seen him in all his gear at 29 C .and yes he was hot and sweaty .. not a good look. I have commented about motor cyclists and he says two sides to a coin as card drivers do not look for them etc however he also admitted a lot of bikers do exceed limits and drive as though road rules do not apply. one stretch of road along old A13 in essex had numerous bikers getting hurt until highways had dozen or so keep left bollards installed and herring bones .no overtaking double lines etc and accident rate dropped to ‘zilch’ as an ex biker myself i am aware drivers do not look for bikers but bikers them selves are biggest influence in reducing accident to selves .
everybody will have own views on politics. nations are defined by the people within. comment on Powell is point of view. he was probably before his time. even his ‘racist’ comment on rivers of blood over immigration proved almost prophetic ( policemans head almost severed to be used as a football etc) freedom to move is not a right as such. all areas in world are ‘owned’ by somebody or a collection of people ( called governments) though one may in an idealistic world think one ought to be able to wander anywhere around globe doing as we wish. reality is different due to rules we adhere to ( well most of us) . one has no more right pitch up a tent in somebodies garden than one does to move into another country to suit oneself in most cases . current world trends are altering this at moment with EU seemingly intent of removing any ‘ownership’ rights and saying all must share etc. community ? socialism? etc even communism has point of view one may or may not agree with but all things change given time. It may even seem at odds that such ideas as nation are being set aside to get a ‘bigger’ ( nation?) community of countries. economics of each area (or country) can be destroyed or raised by ‘free’ movement of people. such are the difficulties of modern world. conflict occurring as normal where different ideals. religions etc meet and have opposing views. high population levels as always being base for most issues but no real way of checking growth or dealing with it has arisen as nearly all modern world economics is based on such. ( called growth)
can we but hope that in time a more suitable way forward can be arrived at that meets say halfway . compromise often being resolution of many issues. welcome to site. many are nice and friendly but as in all chat room we get a number whom seek to annoy or cause issues. you will get to know these given time.you probably feel unsure at moment as new and not chatted to anybody. that will change as soon as you say hi in main room and throw in 2pence worth of comment or just hello.
it can take a while before you sort out good form bad . private messages form men are often to be expected sadly and nearly all are unwanted .. sure you can understand why.
try and chat to females in room first. they often know whom to avoid and whom will chat freely and nicely. good luck .do hope you enjoy it. failing that get back to me and i will suggest another chat site.
dont recall seeing you in chat room? so can’t think what to ask other than ..why not..most are ok and nobody bites ..well so far .
with the Cuba crisis Russia won that power play though media etc were tall it had backed down. Russia and USA made a deal. ( only just coming to light ) so USA could save face.
while we may have psychopath running N Korea. we can’t compare with Trump. yes . he can act oddly and is far more self centred and outspoken than his former leaders. he has a full range of level headed staff around him whom for example won’t simply sit back and allow him to ‘push’ a nuclear button on a whim.
much of this is sabre rattling. the only worry here is if the Korean nutter fail to listen to China and russia giving direction and thinks he can actually take on ( at the moment) worlds leading military power and live!
so rest easy, odds are very unlikey usa will cause any heavy reaction even if its warships are attacked by Korea . probably a dozen or so cruise missiles in return to let him know he can’t throw his dummy into USA playground without rebuke. on Koreas part despite what appears to be full obedience to his every whim by his military .. there will be increasing worry for him that if he pushes too far ..his own staff may take him out. thus nullifying risks to selves and families etc. wonder if He has food tasters in place as well as body guards ?
still an issue . we have made a democratic decision and we will be made to suffer for it ( EU has openly said so ) however already we have back peddling by government e.g. immigration not to be restricted for at least 5 years. all ongoing EU rules etc to be adopted and so on. we have to start wondering if with new government in few years time . no real changes to immigration control etc another referendum will be held . having suffered badly by leaving made to go cap in hand to EU asking to rejoin? thus allowing EU to say it was right all along and remainers pushing leaving voters to set aside any thought of self governance or independence as economic needs outweigh sovereignty and desire for freedom etc. one tries not to be cynical but wonder if government is quietly paving way for UK ltd to fail after leaving in order to do vote right way? after all didn’t we see Ireland having to vote again and again until it voted ‘ correctly’.
dogs can become part of family to a surprising degree. we lost ours and there is a huge vacuum at first. many pictures that show her enjoying life . we keep her in our memories and hearts. sorry for your loss. those whom do not have loving pets will not understand. its a bit like not understanding relationship and affection if not a parent.
this is an emotional issue as well as an economic one. I know many people whom work in NHS. well aware of scams to get free treatment and fast tracking ( yes it goes on but is hidden and denied at all stages with collusion of those working in service) UK always has and would never refuse to treat an emergency regardless of country of origin. disagree those with higher incomes ought to have to pay as already paying via % in taxes . unreasonable to pay twice. many in NHS do not want to get involved in checking funds etc from users. we are at a critical stage where NHS is virtually bankrupt and needs all the funding it can get. Have had treatment abroad and so have many I know. In every case EU card.insuarnce etc was checked BEFORE offering even a sticking plaster. plus having to pay for drugs and other bits after leaving the hospital or clinic. So we are only in fact trying to do as other countries do. sadly our generous ( and often stupid) way of throwing money at others like confetti is not helping those here whom are paying for it all. bottom line is we need urgently to stop fraud and thus added burden on NHS. those whom disagree are often well meaning and charitable ( as we can see from billions we give away every year overseas ) but either naive or unaware the staggering level of abuse. even the minister running it says the amount is a drop in ocean against full cost of NHS .ignoring at highest level the fact that at least an estimated £50.000.000 a year is being spent and unrecovered. simple checks and costs for illegal or non payment of treatment ought to be levelled as a tax on incoming tourists e.g. £1 for every visitor. tax to be paid before entering UK . if you think thats unfair ..try leaving Thailand without paying the leaving tax! ( yes you have to pay a fee to leave)
some countries are famous for non payment and even have classes to tach you how to claim and get free treatment when arriving in UK . try visiting London hospitals free emergency treatment for toothache. It looked ( I stand to be corrected) like I was the only UK resident person there and yet everybody was getting ‘free’ treatment. I think we need to start having to pay when we enter ( emergency aside) and reclaim costs. thus ensuring NHS gets cash in tills.
