    I guess like a lot of people in working class Scotland I grew up with the debt is bad mentality that came from elders talking down things like HP or that credit cards were lethal.

    I have that attitude and I'm 28. The rise and rise of Credit schemes like PCP along with general borrowing on credit is really concerning.

    I only have a credit card to provide security on big ticket purchases and aiding credit rating, otherwise I steer clear.

    Not sure, it's not something I'm massively invested in but the idea of someone having a portfolio of properties while others struggle to afford increasing rental prices or a deposit to buy themselves doesn't sit right with me. 

    Agreed. Completely legal but morally questionable. 

    Comparing having loads of beers with having multiple properties is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read on this.

    ROUND TWO...

    You don't feel that it was possible space-wise?

    According to Genesis 6:15, the Ark measured 300x50x30 cubits, which is about 460x75x44 feet, with a volume of 1.54 million cubic feet. Researchers have shown that this is the equivalent volume of 522 standard railroad stock cars (US), each of which can hold 240 sheep. By the way, only 11% of all land animals are larger than a sheep.

    Although there are about 668 names of dinosaurs, there are perhaps only 55 different 'kinds' of dinosaurs. Even the biggest dinosaurs came from eggs no larger than footballs. 

    Eodromaeus and Eoraptor remind us that dinosaurs weren’t all giants. Many were quite small, and the average size of all dinosaurs has been calculated to be perhaps not much larger than a large sheep or a bison. Therefore taking representatives of each dinosaur kind aboard the Ark would not have been a space issue. 

    Only humans were made in God's image and will exist (somewhere) eternally.

    (There isn't a 'judgement' for animals.)

     

    F*ck up :lol:

    how many million species are there and you're talking about cubits. What a mentalist :lol:

    I don't know if it makes it any worse or not, but the clip they decided to use of her, in the house of commons, was when she was making a speech about being raped at the age of 14. Of course they didn't let us hear what she was saying but we got to hear the judge telling us that somebody was "truly reprehensible" 

    Jackie Bird does the editing these days eh?

    That's because you don't want to care.

    I do.

    (Why do folk who say they don't believe in hell seem so bothered by something they claim doesn't exist?)

    The bit that seems strange to me is if Celtic lose on Wednesday then they parachute into the Europa League on the strength of having only beat the part-timers of Linfield.

    I'm more concerned by the existence of a magical talking snake and two brothers populating the world where the only female on earth is their maw ?

  6. Funny - my brother in law asked me the exact same question earlier. 

    Poor maintenance from the outset always comes back to bite you. I recently put decking down and was sure to properly apply oil etc. 

    Would always advise against painting but if it's already down probably worth sanding and painting after some prolongned dry weather?

  7. Sky are looking awesome, Froome is surely going to do it again. 

    Sorry to see Sagan and Cavendish both out. Bora just have Rajka now who won't be as effective sadly.

    Well, I should say subject to an investigation, if it is found out that safety has been compromised due to cuttting corners and not following the regulations.  Then it becomes corporate manslaughter and those responisble can go to jail.

    There is precedent..

    Believe it when I see it. Will be glad to be wrong obviously.
