is gonz still about?
i need to know about hollyoaks, specifically about the brendan storyline, i haven't seen it in ages and i don't know what's going on.

I'm gonna reply up here to everything 'cus that thread is getting long anyway.
Barry - You're privaliged that you don't have a dependent and you don't work just for a wage. I'm the same, and I can tell you, life is way better that way. If you can pay the bills and buy more or less whatever you want, within reason, then what's the point of earning more? Even if I could get away with not working agian, I wouldn't. Working is about so much more than a wage.

Gobs: Ok, Brenden took over the club with Foxy, foxy is behind bars though for a few murders, so Brenden is the top dog. Foxy's son, the kid who got stabbed, took foxy's share. Sheryl owns 2% too... she origionally bought the club when she won the lotto. Brenden has a son bake in ireland, but is gay... he was with Stevy for a bit, slapped him around a lot, and thats why Stevvy hates brendan. Brenden still has the hots for stevy though.

Don't get me wrong Gonz, I'd work for as much money as possible.

I was indoctrinated into disliking England when I was a wean. Even now, with an English mother and a cut-glass English accent, I can't identify myself as English, and I won't actively support English sports teams.

It really is a good example of how these things get ingrained in you. saying that, every Scottish person in my family has married an English person, so they can't be all that bad.

i don't think that's the same thing at all, is it?
surely that just indicates that england used to be institutionally racist, which is pretty much a seperate thing entirely? although i guess it does mean that they used to hate the scottish at least as much as they respected their own country. it doesn't mean that they hated the scottish more than that though, as far as my calculator can work out.
