undefined social life

1. The idea of having a social life does not exist in the person's mind. Where the idea of having friends, the concern of not having friends and dating is inconceivable and is of not existence. The reason being is that person has never been predisposed to it in the first place, so the idea of not having friends does not bother him or her. In other words, take for example the Sims computer game. It's like having a sim that has no social bar on the needs indicator. By having an undefined social life, the person does not have to worry about maintaining friendships, giving gifts, working out relationships,losing, nor betraying friends. Because the person who has and undefined social life has nothing to lose. It's like dividing a number by zero when it comes to determining the number of friends an undefined social life person has.

Tv Licence.

Tv Licensing is an outdated tax,collected by law and bullying from the BBC.The BBC love the tax, because it means they can write large cheques for their employees.The Licence tax is collected by a company called Capita.They employ guys who find it hard to get a job anywhere else.Capita employees have no rights when they visit your house,so you can just slam the door in their face.The current tax is £131.50,but you will find that a lot of people don't pay this,despite the threatening letters and wasted visits.
A Tv Licence is required if you recieve live broadcasts from within the UK.
This is hard to prove.
What electrical appliances you have in your home,is for you to know,and everybody else to guess. If you live to 75,you will then get a free Tv Licence. (if you live that long).
