somebody said teachers are gonna have to work summers? joke!

The dumbing down of Mastermind with celebrity editions with specialisms such as sci fi movies (surely only relevant for children's episodes?) is a similar problem.

my best ever insurance claim involved a hovercraft return crossing the hovercraft hit the landing ramp all wrong and had a fender bender our cases were clearly closest to the front and got mashed the guy at the port on the moans desk was 'quite' sympathetic up to the point my new missus pointed out it was our honeymoon and we didn't have the money to have all our stuff trashed he spread claims forms across the desk, signed and dated the bottom of the forms, signed he'd witnessed all the damage and logged it and did all the admin stuff, handed them to my missus with the main list of contents still blank and told her to fill them out at her leisure once we got home as he was sure if we filled them out there and then we might forget something important

Vast swathes of land are used to graze meat animals and to produce feed for meat animals, it's fantastically inefficient. To make it worse, we pay tax that falsely reduces the price of that meat. As soon as we stop subsidising meat production land will be free for more cereal and vegetable crop AND more housing. As for western consumerism, the tipping point for energy and mineral resouces is just about here for some areas. The result is that we are now, finally, looking at more efficient use and preservation of energy. But this needs to be two pronged, wind and solar might not be sufficient to power every xbox we want to leave running, so tax inefficient products. We've all got used to it with petrol and diesel, we've accepted that lightbulbs had to change, start chucking tax on phones with poor batteries. We'll be fine if we are less selfish. Earth can be heaven or hell, collectively, we get to choose.

so do they get somebody in now, and have a tricky start but the change might give them a lift. or do they let him crash through 'pool and Man Utd first to let the next guy have a run at Swansea to know his team before Newcastle? surely the answer isn't to let them lose those four games before a change?

meh, I've moved up to hairbrushes.

but, in the ying to your yang, as much as I hate being told to enter my pin, remove my card I am still amazed by that special breed of older female that is constantly taken by surprise at the till when asked to pay.

Did they show the absolute classic piece of theatre when The Tubes played on the Tube? Whole family finally relented and let me watch the Tube whilst we were eating our tea, so, all sat around the table with my mum and dad watching it for the first time and me ready to ignore any commentary from my day on how music today blah blah blah.... Anyway, the Tubes come on, midway through their set they pluck what appears to be a random girl from the audience, push her around a bit, hold a gun to her head, get her on her knees and shoot her. Then, from memory E.T. was brought on the stage, there was simulated buggery of E.T. then he too was shot. Something like that anyway, it was a long time ago. The upshot was we didn't get to watch The Tube the following week.

I missed it but if the did show any Big Country from the tube I may go fire bomb Ch4's office (either way, they appear to be toast)

2 metres cut into 6 inch pieces must have been for B&Q, the home of 6 inch nails sold in half kilo bags at £2.99 a lb and melamine shelves 1.5 metres long by 12 inches wide

Apparently today he's stated that if/when Labour are elected they will abolish the bedroom tax. As lovely as I'm sure that is, hasn't he just given himself a problem here? By declaring this one will be abolished he's now going to have every tory policy quoted at him for a quick keep or bin quote. When asked, I'm sure he'd like to say something like 'all in good time we'll need to look at this holistically blah blah blah'. But now he can't without it looking vague or slippery.

a lot of jobs were lost when the cut out the middle man and streamlined the whole process

Had a client over from Germany today and she insists the best juice on the market is lidl's own brand ... Taking into account she works for another well known brand that is a competitor , it is an interesting statement and maybe an indication that lidl's stuff is as you mention orange juice and apple juice are both excellent and a good price

Well they aren't worth much these days anyway. This is putting it mildly. Candidate: "Hi I'd like to apply for the job you've got advertised. Employer: "do you have a degree?" Candidate: "No" Employer: "Sorry, you can't apply" Thats how it works at the place where I work, so from my experience they are worth having. If the market becomes flooded with 'Mickey Mouse' degree's then I guess they will have to find another way of filtering the candidates at the application stage. govt dept.: we want to put this piece of work out to consultancy tender private practise: we'd like to bid for this govt dept.: it's strictly lowest bid wins praivate practise: we can still bid for this govt dept.: oh, as well as being proven to be the lowest price (obviously by paying your staff the minimum) you also have to prove ALL the staff working on this project in ANY capacity have a RELEVANT DEGREE
