Doing so is economically, politically and technically very difficult but not impossible.

There are alot of grass roots sports played in the inner city areas of the UK which could seriously be better funded and are played by lots of kids in those areas.Basketball is easily the best example. Lots of kids play it.

Basket ball s funding in the UK for the Olympics is zero. Basically because the…[Read more]

That money could be used in inner city areas to promote a grass roots sport which has far more participation than bob sleigh or whizzing down an icey slope on a tea tray.

It cuts right to the heart of the issue about promoting sport.

Basketball is played by more people in inner city’s, the money would be better spent there than on middle class sports for the esoteric few..

I don’t think that being financially dependent has to be a bad thing if both partners go about it the right way. I’ve only been dependent on OH for money for a comparatively short time but I have my own pension and savings etc because this seems like the sensible option. I will be working again soon, all…[Read more]

I couldn’t stand a man like that. I want to be supported and treated as an equal (even if I am different e.g. better driver, less able to pick up 40kg sacks, better at mental arithmetic, worse at cooking or whatever) and the…[Read more]

Are we defining independence mostly as a financial thing?

@sammy No, I don’t think that being independent means being financially independent although of course it does not preclude it I’m afraid that I don’t like the term ‘fiercely independent’ as I don’t think one has to be fierce unless under attack.

We all like to be needed, men included. I…

When I meet a group of people, I’ll kiss some of the women and not others, I’ll shake hands with some of the men and not others.

It’s down to reading body language and making eye contact.

The issue is people are losing this art very quickly. I blame mobile phones. People who grew…[Read more]

It gets you down doesn’t it? Mine went away for a few weeks after I’d been in hospital for an operation and was only doing very light exercise. As soon as I went back to my normal routine it came back. I think I might go to a physio because I’m not managing to get on top of it by myself despite using…[Read more]

It might not be a fair comparison, though, I really am shit at parking HEHE!
