There are 3 of the bloody things and I like my chippings. They also shit on the soil. Water pistol yes, but they sneak in under the cover of darkness. Their shit goes right back into their owners garden, his cats - his shit.
Cheers.
I thought that you had thicker skin than that.
I took exception to that. I have never even been inside a dole office, I have been very fortunate.

Actually I had got you mixed up with someone else when I posted that.
I am sure you will still be able to sleep tonight though:-)
Fine, no problems. Usenet to me is fun, entertainment and sometimes a gathering of knowledge. But, even though the days of alt.arguments are sadly gone I still like a fight.

Your state pension is something yo have paid for through NI pensions contribution. it's not a benefit, it is a right, just like your car insurance or your house insurance.
No chance of you nipping round to mine and punching a plumber in the face for me then?
Alt.arguments was sparing words, not fists. It was fun :-) As for punching your plumber, I'm in Lancashire but can travel.

Is this the five bob argument, or the full ten shilling one?
I believe that a similar defence has been tried before and failed.
Colin Bignell
Has he ever been the full ten shilling?
Handy. Is it magnetic by any chance ?

Must be, it sticks like nobody's business.
I have blasted the same cats many times with a high powered water pistol. It doesn't stop them coming back.
Cats like to tease. They sit in the middle of my lawn watching me get the water pistol. One of them even waits for me to fire before running away.
There's no savings element to NI. You could say that you paid someone else's pension with your NI. When you retire you're not paying NI so someone else pays your pension.
What????
Why on earth would a cat drink anti-freeze?
Apparently it is very attractive to them, although it kills them very painfully.
Colin Bignell
No it isn't! Your contributions paid for somebody else's pension.
If you are getting a state pension, it is being funded from other people's contributions.
Must be some kind of record - this thread degenerated into an argument in three posts!
Because it's quite palatable. That's why it got added to Austrian wine, remember?
