Shame on you.

@Gary

That'll be that history thing again proving a real pain isn't it

Exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't exist.If you can't afford kids you shouldn't have them,or if you do make sure you expand your income to be able to pay for your family.

so what you really mean is it's ok for labour to do it but god help the tories if they try it ,totally missing the point and fact that many policies started by any party in power are usually finished by the party that follows .

You didn't drink the milk anyway you just shoved the straws up your nose and pretended to be a walrus

No. because you're on the defensive. you're pretending that it's not about the obvious big kids that can go without. and the little kids who loved it. and the bad dragon taking it away from them.

gotta disappoint you dear Gary,I wasn't educated in this country. No free milk or school meals in Germany.You could buy all sorts of snacks though.Banana and Chocolate milk were my favourites. I used to stick the straw where the sun don't shine and blow bubbles that way.The other kids laughed but not the teacher...

Anyway. welcome to Britain!

Let's see,as long as my British passport which I acquired by being born in this country to British parents allows me to... another couple of years maybe?Maybe a bit more.
My sights are firmly on the US though,so who knows.

Gary L · 02-04-2013, 22:21

No need to get you in trouble,you're doing that fine just by yourself.Take care.

Are you referring to the guy who generated benefits income through his numerous kids and burned them alive? Can't wait for your thoughts on that.
