men obviously don't like work that much.

very few like work, and those that do are very lucky

and does a drop in testosterone make you unhappy..or just less violent/sexy. I definitely get in fewer fights these days, and am considerably less sexy. Hopefully that will pick up again in my 60s.

Yes. It affects mood. Causes depression, sleep problems, lethergy etc..

Ok, maybe it isn't my job I hate then.

But still, that graph shows unhappiness drop from 20s through to 60s..maybe some of that is having kids or the human condition, but it also fits nicely into the years people have to work.

Yes probably some of that in there but doesnt explain the extra drop off in your 40's / 50's.

I guess the answer is inherit money so don't have to work, don't have children and get some decent meds for the menopause.

Imagine getting people to give you money when you owned a site and then calling someone  a freeloader for taking a cup of coffee as tahnks.

Surely we are the freeloaders expecting to use the site for nothing ? 

We did the 50p coffee cup scandal yesterday.  Maybe let it go 🙂

The mods asked us to move on 🙂  

Neil was perfectly happy with people using the site with adverts, but he did call people who used adblockers freeloaders (rightly so)

Anyway.... It was an entertaining read the last day or so 🤣

Imagine accepting first £150 and then £400 towards your energy bills and then calling someone who took a free cup of coffee a freeloader.

Imagine also ignoring call after call over 3 days to 'move on' and then only taking notice of that call when it benefits you cos people 'whataboutering' have been called out and shown to be freeloaders themselves using their own pathetic description of that.

Thats what you get from that poster sadly, spouting right wing rhetoric to get rises from people. Best thing to do is put him on ignore.

Especially as it was given to me as gratitude for giving the stall 3 of some of the most sort after crew bar passes on site.

There are plenty of Glastonbury regulars who would happily give me a lot more for one of those cards.

It was a bizarre personal attack but you've nothing to explain or justify about this.

I thought the concept stood up.  Every time someone takes something for free there is a cost someone has too cover.  Sure Neil went on a bit but the concept was fine.

Everything has a cost but sometimes I accept a cost to do something nice. A charitable act benefits the giver and receiver. Being used by a cheeky f**ker is a different thing. I've not seen any thing posted by Skip to suggest he takes the piss. He's just more tolerant of other people doing it than I am.

Calling someone a free loader is f**king rude by the way , and if you dont know them and are making those judgments from some posts on an internet forum its even worse

So is calling someone crazy / nutter etc.  We have to view these things as a whole and completely.  Not targeted and selectively wouldn't you say ?

50 majority ?   That would be an incredible swing.

yep im going with it .... swing to me not such a big thing  ( yes I know it is really ) .... they start from a clean slate and who on earth would actually vote for this lot , im optimistic but possibly a bit deluded to
