I have two children aged 24 and 18. I knew all about overpopulation and child number 2 was an accident but obviously I love her to bits. After child number 2 I had the 'big snip'.
I worry about the future of the planet. I think I'll do OK because I'm resiliant and don't need a lot to get along and I don't think it will get really really bad in my lifetime. But I'm pretty certain the planet my kids inherit will be shit and that worries me a lot.

The other ralph isn't (posting as) a real person, so the question is kind-of unanswerable.

Somebody once said (of Letters to the Press), "Never bother to read anything where the writer includes their Job Title". So, erm, now they don't include their job title. They just write cr@p and we are left guessing who they work for.

Yes.

At their great grand-mothers funeral we had a rather interesting conversation about the meaning of life.
