of coz.. those records must be very valuable now..Originally posted by the Bear:if she finds real LPs, don't let her scratch them as props? they could be very very valuable.. and most people just junk them anyway...
hmmm... Retro...
got 8-tracks?
think she just needs some ideas or something. -
I think she should be able to find old turntables at places like the sungei rd thieve's market for very little money. Since she's using them as props they dun even need to be functionalOriginally posted by bluejuice:no.. a friend was asking.. think her company is organising a retro xmas party, so she need to search for props and stuff..
But I think its even better if she asks friends or their parents if they have any lying around unused and just borrow them for the event. -
I can lend you a few old and beaten up LPs if you're only going to use them as props

sometimes i wonder about the boss.. she's so sick that she's on the verge of collapse and throwing up.. yet still in office...
also, a project which is put on hold while other sections haggle about the implementation... we've got the collaterals designed..
the design is nice but i think the artist isn't very good with english.. makes some english errors...
we've corrected them but the guy made a few new ones..
uhhh.. my colleague is told to 'be more careful and check the work' when he was the one who didn't make the new mistakes...
i think my boss should go home and leave me the hell alone today -
How come ppl think 2% GST is such a big thing?
At the rate world prices are increasing and health and medical care going through the roof, even if they increase the handouts to the poor, they can't increase it by much also since they are already heavily subsidised in other aspects
Why ppl think that 7% GST is damn expensive and high
It's really low compared to other countries -
These people want some sort of social security system in place. Then you ask them whether they willing to pay 10 to 20% VAT, 30 to 50% income tax.Originally posted by elindra:How come ppl think 2% GST is such a big thing?

Then they'll say that it's 'perfectly feasible' to have a welfare state without the burden of heavy taxes.Originally posted by av98m:These people want some sort of social security system in place. Then you ask them whether they willing to pay 10 to 20% VAT, 30 to 50% income tax.
Then you ask them how to do that without having the national debt go through the roof.
I sure would like to see them answer this one.

And they tell you it's not about taxesOriginally posted by av98m:These people want some sort of social security system in place. Then you ask them whether they willing to pay 10 to 20% VAT, 30 to 50% income tax.
I dunno why they think it be better coz the USA social system is failing quite badly
And in Europe it's like a few rich ppl earning money to support to lazy farkers who depend on handouts

there's high inflationary pressure that I think the govt is trying to counter by depressing wages, flooding the market with cheaper imported labour ... in the name of "competitiveness" ...Originally posted by elindra:How come ppl think 2% GST is such a big thing?

the average heartlander is no longer able to save ... he doesn't need retirement planning cos he won't be able to retire ...
once upon a time I thought that global competition is inevitable .... but now it seems that taking away all forms of protectionism is economic suicide ...

Prices will only go up

they keep saying can use reserves. the problem is that reserves can and will run dry, even if it takes a long time. what then?Originally posted by fudgester:Then they'll say that it's 'perfectly feasible' to have a welfare state without the burden of heavy taxes.

I've always been under the impression that national reserves were meant for emergency use, such as re-building of critical infrastructure and restoring essential services in the event of war or some big ass disaster -

there is a roasted meat stall which is quite famous for the suckling pig also. but not sure whether still there or not...

hmmz same here however, I wonder if there should be a limit to the amount of reserves put in and whether there is a need to keep adding infinitely.Originally posted by av98m:they keep saying can use reserves. the problem is that reserves can and will run dry, even if it takes a long time. what then?

perhaps some of those money being put into reserves every year can be put to other uses -
