Never watched "Lost" myself pea. Would you say it's worth the time watching it?
I tried to read a summary of what the series is about and all I managed to do was to get lost.

HaHa you have me intrigued Lurgan Red, I would have bought a 'loose' in my younger days, and I did live very close to a shop which would have sold them in my later years. The Big Ship thing is baffling me though, don't think I've ever been to see them.

Kinda gone off subject here but when ed sayed pensioners had to chose whether to heat there homes or feed them selfs it got me thinkin of the full state of the country and benefit system!. couple of years ago ma riend got beat up and took a stroke at 16 damaged down his full left side and some minor brain damage he continued to work till late 20's untill he cooldnt do it anymore he applyed for sick money to be told no then on appeal he gets lowest form of incapacity benefit ( I thik that's what he gets). now also know a boy who has a slash on his face and he recieves full benefit sick money and the rest he gets lots more money thn my friend who worked hard untill he cooldnt no more! the boy with the slash is cider warrior valium head and compulsive gambler! is it me or am I missing the point to why he recieves more money than someone who really does need the help?someone please enlighten me.

I find tech really interesting, that's why I jumped on it Franky. Didn't mean to sound like a dick.

Great post boozy I know you said you know lurgan we'll could I ask if you would of bought a loose in a shop a few doors from your house.?
Not trying to be coy but I think I might you on a train a few years ago coming back from tall ships you recognised me. Am I right?

7 billion was the figure I saw. It wouldn't be a surprise if it was in that ball park. Its an essential service.

Wasn't one of the "excuses" used in the sell off that state monopoly's were poorly run, in debt etc and that the private sector could do a better job?

In that case then, now having learned how to run a company properly, who's to say that renationalisation wouldn't work?

Long day Ed, hate Mondays. Should be abolished.

Didn't the big 6 energy companies over here pay out 7 Billion in dividends last year? Then have the gall to stick prices up 9-10% each and blame "costs".

Mort

To be honest zari I do not know much about this subject and read a link and gave a opinion, I should have read a lot more before I gave a reply, thanks for the heads up on the subject.
