Hi Dave

Same situation why does a horse loose if I place a bet on it, and wins if I don't bet.

Bees are a vital ally to us as humans..... but why do wasps exist????

Wasps exist to remind us to look and bite carefully into an apple, or be aware when it comes to leaving a fizzy sweet drink in a can lying around.

Then of course there is the 'gratification' factor! lol

         Why do politicians keep us in the dark? Heck cos of them we cannot even buy a proper 100watt bulb any more !! ( I know it is a lamp and not a bulb- bulbs go in the ground and grow into plants )

           Why in these days with every other shop a coffee shop in our high streets - you cannot buy a cup of coffee !!  It is always something strange sounding in French or Italian  with extra bubbles ( less drink) or an assortment of nibbly bits on the saucer that you do not want AND you can't even buy two for a fiver- rip off or wot!  I must say I have not used one of these establishments in years as I do not even like what they dish up so I might be a bit out of date.

Why do people give their car tyres a kick, and assume that means the pressures are ok?

On the subject of the over priced coffee shops, why are they always packed out with people, can't they see there're being ripped off.

Cute thread...I can relate nicely to many of them.  I think flies hang   around on the garden veggies..cause when you go to spray them despite all the holes in the cabbage, you never see any moths, or bugs around for miles otherwise.
