Pedestrians that look surprised when they cross the road on a red light.
The light is red for them, and the light is red for cars.....so they take a chance and cross the road, then the cars get a green light and begin to edge forward......the pedestrians then look surprised at this outcome......morons.

No 1 your facts are wrong as it’s 560 a month. 

The proposal is 200 a month fo here. 

Secondly why would massive amount of people take a huge wage cut esp with mortgages etc.  so your idea of everybody stopping working and taking a huge pay cut and missing their bills etc is fanciful at best.

The amazing thing about UBI is that it finds support on both the left and the right. From my understanding the right believe that it should be done, while scrapping things like statutory minimum wages, but it also encourages the jobs economy as it is never more profitable to stay at home than to go to work.

They've randomly picked 2,000 unemployed people between 25 and 58 and are paying them 560 euro a month for doing nothing. They even continue to get it if they get a job. It sounds right up this Indian lads street. 
I struggle to see the connection between universal basic income and this lad?

Is the correct answer LOL

Oh the Red hot Chilli Pipers are brilliant (they do mix other instruments in too to make it sound good)  but this is not them it's just instrumental bagpipes.

He has now turned it off thank god.

Pop up ads on YBIG website.
Nothing too strange about that, but it’s the types of ad, for the last few days I’ve been getting L’Oreal ads for face creams etc.
Surely someone does their homework and then realises this forum is not the place for L’Oreal??
Maybe it was a typo and we should be getting ads about Oriel (Park)?

Went to the gym yesterday evening and there was a fella in there in dress shoes and a suit (in fairness he took off his jacket and tie) and was doing exercises on the floor such as planks etc..  He was there dressed in brown dress shoes, navy trousers, brown leather belt and a pink shirt and bursting a gut doing planks in the gym.Confused
