    Shame Windows has gone to crap since Windows (00)7.

    Don't mind windows 8 but the windows 10 update and subsequently all the other updates are chronically bad and unreliable.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    May be a different story on a new computer installed at factory. ??

    My pc computer is a new laptop by acer. I am not impressed with the windows ten. My old computer was windows 7 and even though it was not new when I bought it it was a good computer. I think some body here will be able to tell me but a friend at my work said that I could run the windows 7 from a usb drive and choose windows 7 or windows ten. This I will do if it is correct information because I think windows ten is the worst of systems.

    I loved windows 7 , hate windows 10 :#

    On the Oxfam allegation. The head of Oxfam
    In defending his charity used the term
    " we weren't murdering babies " completely
    Missing the point. That the problem was his
    Workers were having sex with them !
    Can't help but feel he's made more problems
    For Oxfam, and we'll soon hear about his
    Resignation.

    I think charity has become too big business. Many of the people who run the charitys have very big pay. They must do everything to protect this business. I saw also this comment by the head of the Oxfam charity and I also thought it was very bad thing to say. They have created victims themselves but not only try to cover up but also say that it was not all bad.
    I never give to charity. I can not really afford to but instead I help in my spare time to help the elder people. It is a scheme in my church to help people who are lonely or who cannot do things. I help by cutting the garden and the odd jobs. This is no cost to the people. I think this is charity because I can see that the people in need get the help.
    I think always to give to charity is better to give money to local charity who really help people instead of giving to help pay the big wages of the big charity.

    Agreed that some of these charities are like huge
    Multinational corporations. Paying executives enormous
    Salaries.

    True, but we also need to remember that most people in those organisations are idealists working hard for the common good.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Are they ? Do we really know that ? It is the
    Perceived belief but given the cover up at
    Oxfam. Perhaps we should do a bit more
    Checking up on these people.
    This whole incident looks exactly how the
    Catholic Church tried to cover up It's own
    Child abuse epidemic.

    Most of them are, yes. Sadly there are some bad eggs.

    I was house hunting in the Philippines in November 2013 when a devastating typhoon decimated the area in what was dubbed the worst storm in history (thousands were killed). In the days that followed dozens of Oxfam volunteers were in the 5 star hotel where I was staying and all they did was lie by the pool in the day and get drunk in the bar at night. I overheard one of them say it's our turn for the photo call see you in a couple of hours.

    As stated above it is my opinion that the multi-global charity organisations are only in it for their own ends - a bit like politics really.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    I think a few questions should also be asked as to
    Where all the money for Haiti has gone, as I think
    Officially not much has actually reached the people.

    I suspect the type of behavior CoolHandLuke mention is mostly found in the largest charities.

    I believe you are right #24 the smaller charities are usually above board - in the interest of no conflict of interest with this statement I am involved in a local charity here on Mactan of which I both volunteer and donate money for running costs - so maybe I am biased in that opinion.

    This might have something to do with
    Norwegians and eggs ! As the Norwegian
    Olympic team accidentally ordered
    15,000 eggs for their stay :D

    Actually I'm very glad my gaffe was commented on. It made me suspect my blood sugar was low. It was, and I was about to drive. Thank you :)

    I think this news about Oxfam is very bad and it only makes me think more that the big charities are not so good. I have heard stories about aid to African countries which does not even get to the people and are stolen or sold. And money is taken by the rulers before it can get to the people. I only hear these stories but I think they will be true.
    I think that the big business charities always see themselves as above any criticism but they should not. I think that anyone who works for a charity should do so without pay. If they were so dedicate themselves to the cause they would surely do this for free while having another job?

    Actually they thought they ordered 1500, but there was a language barrier :))

    Apparently in London ( can't remember the area )
    The Police have asked people to stop calling

    We have reports here that the Norwegian Olympic Team brought 6000 packages of asthma tablets -for 121 athletes!
    Hopefully they will very soon feel better......

    Unfortunately that's true. Of course the athletes who suffer from asthma are bringing their own. It's not illegal, but....
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Given the after effects of eating all those eggs. They
    Might need the asthma tablets. Just to be able to
    Breathe ! :D

    Any chance that the Norwegian word for "asthma tablet" is "egg"? That would explain a lot! :p
