Louc74 @Louc74 (620) 28 Mar 11

Indivote is a new campaign. Based on the idea that the voters in the UK do have all the power, but they just aren't using it in a powerful way. Basically, the idea is to install a Government made up of Independent Candidates,...

Louc74 @Louc74 (620) 8 Oct 10

I can't get motivated. At all. I've put on around a stone and a half, although I can't be exact, because I'm too scared to weigh myself! So, I've decided that I'm going to start being very careful with what I eat again, and get...

Beautiful, or Disturbing?

Louc74 @Louc74 (620) 15 Mar 10

Louc74 @Louc74 (620) 19 Jan 10

I came across this when I was browsing the other day, and whereas I don't smoke it now, I did partake when I was younger, though I never progressed to anything stronger. If I were ill, and it helped with the pain, I'd like the...

Louc74 @Louc74 (620) 29 Nov 09

My friend and I are setting up a snack bar at the beginning of next year. Obviously, we want to make money, but we both have a conscience, and don't want it to be your usual "greasy spoon" place. We have decided that we have to...

MPs and the Royal Family - Britains Biggest Benefit Cheats

Louc74 @Louc74 (620) 13 Nov 09

Don't get this wrong - I'm not in favour of cheating the system if you're on benefits. It just sickens me to hear MPs going on about benefit cheats while all the time doing everything in their power to ensure they can still milk...
