    I've probably reduced my FB friends list by 30 odd as a result of people reposting stuff from that page. They do like to make up stuff about soldiers and pets don't they?
  3. Never seen a James Bond film ? The first James Bond film i saw was Casino Royale which was awesome. then saw Quantum which was awful, Skyfall which was average, then Die another Day which was poor. and to answer leemond i'm early 30's. My word. This makes me so so sad.
  4. Very sensible strategy as always. I am/have been a Tory voter in a safe as houses Tory seat. Won't be voting for them this time and am totally stuck as to who to vote for.
  5. I'm sorry that but that is an absolutely appalling thing to say. No Red Scouse fan has ever blushed over anything ever. Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.
  6. Lambert handled the situation perfectly but FWIW I like Mourinho, yes he's a classless turd but he get results and there isn't a Villa fan alive who would be upset if he was our manager.
  7. The dreaded vote of confidence. There's simply no way he can survive if this form keeps this up Why not? I have a strong feeling his only brief is to keep them in the League and its too early to say for certain that he won't.
  8. They are yes. Thats the point. The Verge have clearly taken business decision that its better to be Apple's informal PR house than to be objective.
  9. He said the Nexus was "more expensive up front" which is technically true in one sole circumstance where you buy the phone outright and then go SIM only. Its a very very disingenuous way of reporting it, given the iphone 6 is what twice the price up front of the N5.
  10. No no no no no no no. i will never have another Samsung phone. Horrific experience with my s3. The G3 is superb.
  11. I like that. Stolen for social media.
  12. Which book was this in? I don't remember Dumbledore being so opinionated.
  13. All that is true in theory. I fear the practice would be a massive whack on the stock market and associated big business meltdown. No government regardless of colour will ever sanction such a move because their own business supports would run a mile. There isn't that big a difference between the minimum wage and the living wage. Living wage - £7.65 Minimum wage - £6.50 So a rise of 30p a year would bring them into line over 4 years. That may be the case but as we know with the stock market for example investor confidence is not based in facts, rather than opinions and guesswork. No government would take the risk and formally declare a policy of pushing for a living wage"
  14. I think it may be different in the UK, but in Ireland it is some job, it's 183 days a year for primary, 167 for secondary. My girlfriend's brother has been teaching in Carlow the last 5 years I'd say gets paid every summer, was in Vietnam all summer. I used to want to be a teacher. It was the reason I did my degree, to eventually teach English. Living with someone doing the job changed my mind. It is a relentless and draining profession, and for me the holidays wouldn't make up for it. As Eames said, the hourly rate is shit. I'm a qualified and former teacher. Marking at 2am one morning in my NQT year made me think "what the **** am I doing this for?"
  15. It all depends on how it is designed. The LG G3 has a 5.5inch screen IIRC but because of the microscopic bezels it feels much smaller in hand than say the Samsung Note 3 does. I wouldn't dismiss a handset on the basis of screen size alone without having felt it first because the design of the phone hides a lot sins.
  16. What an absolute barrel of monkey spunk that is. Teachers have lots of "non-teaching" time but to say they get 12 weeks holiday a year is simply untrue. There are two bits to a teachers job. The stuff they do with the kids.... and the planning/preparation and assessment of that they are going to do/have done with the kids. Its a full time job - not all of it spent in front of a class. In fact, the working hours for the money is shit and you'd have to be a special kind of idiot to do it. Yeah yeah, I'll get in the bucket as long as you put me back in the sea later.

  19. That is the worst thing in the world and for that reason I keep a book in the toilet and the bathroom as well.A book? A book??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHH!!!!!! First thing I did when we moved into this house was build fitted bookshelves in the bog. I fear Mrs M is less of a philastine than Mrs E.
  20. Yes absolutely they are...... but at least with TB who isn't everyone's cup of tea and is problematic for other reasons, he appears to be completely open about what he is and isn't paid to do. Agree 100% about Kotaku and Polygon
  21. I would never trust any games review site to review a game or give me a fair and balanced opinion. There are far too many overtly or covertly paid hype pieces placed by distributors. How the **** can this game have won awards or even nominations when it isn't even on general release yet. Its shite advertising hype and nothing else. I'm with TotalBiscuit on this issue. There are loads of first impression and sensible critique videos on YouTube. Use that to guide whether to buy it or not rather than the opinion of some hack on the game distributors pay role.
