  1. Where I used to live, I think it was one of the two Barnardo's Charity Shops actually specialised in nearly new branded up market clothes. Never went in but lots of people I know used to go in and buy stuff
  2. I can't contemplate ordering those after 6PM tbh despite that I really like them, the coffee would just keep me awake beyond when I want to sleep
  3. Definitely not the Express In the words of Dr John Cooper Clarke... "You accuse, I confess but you'll never see a nipple in the Daily Express"
  4. Well if it was designed to give Piers Morgan an early morning embolism it failed but good plan anyway
  5. That my missus seems incapable of hitting the big f*** off round button in the middle of the remote to skip the opening credits on any series we're watching
  6. It doesn’t work now either. There is no perfect solution, looking for one is a futile exercise
  7. Equally applies to my foreign national example. You get taxed, you have no right in saying how it gets spent Are you suggesting that the 13 year old child clothes model shouldn’t be taxed or are you saying that because they are taxed they get a vote? I'm not sure I think either of those alternatives is acceptable. there isn’t a link between taxation and being able to participate in the democratic process. But being able to take part in the democratic process is a part of being a responsible adult, as is participating in sexual activity or driving a car or choosing to smoke or buying a lottery ticket or drinking in a pub I get where you are coming from with the mixed ages thing but those mixed ages muddy the water an awful lot for most age of consent issues as we're clearly seeing in this very story.
  8. No, they generally have branding on them
  9. Is it? I fail to see the connection. Income tax is based on income, it isn’t a reflection of your age. You pay VAT on goods and services regardless of age. If a baby earns over the tax threshold for doing modelling or acting, it pays income tax. The only tax which has a lower age limit that I’m aware of is National Insurance (16) Taxation isn’t really connected to adulthood nor is it related to democracy. A foreign national can come to this country to work (with a visa obviously). They don’t get to vote but they do have to pay tax.
  10. There is no lower age limit for paying Income Tax
  11. Don’t be silly, there would only be two or three options 16 18 the current mess
  12. Not convinced there are many if any religions that have get your baps out for the lads as one of their equivalent of the ten comandments
  13. You want summer to end? Stop encouraging him!
  14. I have an Aussie bushman’s hat and a Tilley hat. Both do a similar job, the Tilley is a sort of canvas material and the bush hat is leather. I don’t currently have a baseball cap but I'm not averse to them as long as they are the flat old fashioned kind and preferably plain black or dark blue.
  15. Yes saw that and that the idiot was outed by other Twitter users as someone who used to be the ticket manager at a Football club until he was caught having stolen £90k. Then the idiot actually posted his address in a come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough kind of way and doesn't seem to believe he'll get a letter from the lawyers. Twitter is full of numbskulls like that. Absolute cesspool
  16. Hopefully they'll sue the idiots who named them. There is talk that Lineker, Rylan and a few others are getting together to do just that
  17. It wouldn’t be an employment tribunal The BBC would be held responsible for he torrent of hate that would be directed towards said individual whose life would be changed permanently by the accusation The BBC would in all likelihood settle out of court for a massive sum.
  18. The person that they suspended. What happens if this is all a load of bollocks, which quite frankly, right now it is.
  19. Because it is absolutely the correct course of action. Legally and morally at this stage. They’d get sued for a huge figure if they were he ones to release the name
