Bloody L Ray that was like the Dimbleby Lectures,i reckon Singer needs to have a look in the mirror and have a bloody good word with himself,i spent most of my life in factory work,and when collection time came around as it often did,some bright spark would say "£10 a man"which was ok for the single guys,but for those with three or more kids they could'nt do it so then they where tight "bar stewards",but if everyone gave £3 a man everyone wins. To be honest i'm surprised at myself,one listening all the way through,and two replying,really enjoyed that mate something different,to say the least,👍 Ride Safe Mr B 🤘
@rayjones41153 ай бұрын
All the way through Baza? You must have a quiet weekend coming up, and a bit of stamina. I think Singer is very very wrong, and I think his students give us a clue. Thing is, he's a professional philosopher, and proving him wrong appears to have eluded the best of them for 50 years.. I AM going to work on an answer though.

Love your polite but subtle comment about the Manx Bobbies vrs UK mainland police. Very diplomatic observation. Not like you at all. However the fact they have your registration number probably makes that diplomacy wise.
