    Do you think something is true if one person tell's you it is, or if one hundred do.

    Could it be possible one hundred are wrong and one right. ?

    Of course it is possible. It happens. Just not very often. Because roughly 99% of the time it is the 99% that are right.

    I disagree with most things @VespaPX says. Not all, but most. That said, I admire his tenacity. His steadfast refusal to look at the evidence when it is weighted against him. His willingness to read only the people who believe in the things he wants to believe in. It might be a bit strange. But I actually enjoy reading many of his posts. And there is always that 1% chance.

    Me? I like to read stuff from people whose point of view is very different from mine. I have always found that you learn a lot more from people you disagree with, than from people of the same mind as you.

    You? I don't disagree with most of what you say. Simply because I do not understand it. Your mind is wired very differently from mine. Not better. Not worse. Just differently.

    Let me give 1 example. I believe you refer to me as Swampy. And @Haysie as Toot Toot. I genuinely have no idea why. I presume it is meant as some form of insult. But I have no idea why. So it does not cause offence.

    Finally, in relation to "bovver boy" music. These days, I am a slaphead. But, in my youth, I was a skinhead for some years. I expect my musical taste is not so far from Vespa's. Although I much prefer Northern Soul or Ska to other types of Mod music.
    I thought Swampy was Haysie and Toot Toot was Vespa but I may be wrong ?

    I mean, i could never understand why they stopped calling up people for the army when the war stopped either......

    You are kind of arguing against your earlier posts now.

    You have always suggested lockdowns, vaccines, covid passes, health workers being asked to vaccinate, was always something other then trying to protect people and an attempt to combat the virus.

    Now your suggesting its weird that covid passes are not required, health workers dont need vaccines, etc now that it is no longer classed as a world pandemic.

    What part of all this is not fitting in with there being a health threat and the appropriate action... and it being downgraded as a health threat and again, the appropriate action?

    Afraid not.
    The only reason for my visit were the notifications that I had been mentioned in 2 posts.
    I have no plans to return.

    I was never a legal eagle. More of a legal Rottweiler.

    Short answer-@Haysie is correct

    I do read your thread. Occasionally it makes me laugh out loud. And, sometimes, in a good way :)
