Sometimes if people don't have a good whinge, nothing worthwhile gets done!
I am still glad that I don't live in a cardboard box though, or even sleep in dustbins-very dangerous occupation that!

whinge or whine?
Telboy ,are whine and whinge the same? And if new words did not enter 'our' working vocabulary then we would surely be up #### creek without a paddle. I'm sure W.Shakespeare would have seen the funny side of it!!

Isn’t life fantastic? – after all you could be sitting in a foxhole in Afghanistan being shot at by the Taliban (or the Americans for that matter) or even worse clinging to a boat in the Mediterranean as a refugee
What I want to know is, why is it that people who is whinge, always seem to have a lot to whinge about?
Pls do not make this into a political thread – it isn’t

Its really worth hanging onto that bit of control that you mention Klaatu. We have had no significant chance to control our leaders for a very long time now, and what chance we have got left is looking like disappearing pretty soon!

Well, it's erroding even more. Ireland signed the Lisbon treaty (Because Ireland will be bailed out - AGAIN with EU taxes). After Copenhagen, it will get worse.
