sharkyvilla Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The bloke from the first series of Dragons Den got off after having sex with a 13 year old, thinking she was 17. I guess it depends on the circumstances in which they met (he found her on some dodgy website) and how good a lawyer you can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Nothing to do at work today. I've entertained myself by making brilliant jokes with a cuddly toy shark that's on someone's desk. So far I've told everyone that you can borrow money off him, he's a loan shark, I've touched it and pretended to get an 'electric shark' off it and I've moved it's mouth and said 'Heeeere's Johnny'...Shark Nicholson. My colleagues are finding it hilarious, one even said they can't stand it anymore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a nurse shark it will need quick access to the First Aid kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 It would appear that the High Court have backed a local referendum and planning decision that St Ives in Cornwall can put a ban or a cap on the number of second homes in St Ives. Democracy in action. Hopefully this can be rolled out across all our local seaside towns and villages and resorts where people from outside the area are buying up properties, skewing the local house price, driving locals away with unaffordable rents and unattainable pricing and killing off the High Street as for 8 months of the year the place is a ghost town. Hopefully the good people of Cornwall can stop the incomers wrecking their communities. If they can also stop the central government drive to merge them with Devon then they’ll have had some good results. I know there’s an obvious risk and accusation to be made when ‘locals’ moan about this sort of thing. The reality on the ground is young adults with nowhere to live, surrounded by dead zones of empty £400,000 holiday lets. Up the Cornish! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality on the ground is young adults with nowhere to live, surrounded by dead zones of empty £400,000 holiday lets. Up the Cornish! That's great news in my opinion. As part of my degree we had to research the make-up of a few sea side towns and roughly only 15% of children stay in their towns past college age due to low paying jobs and very expensive housing. We also found that up to 30% of housing stock was in use for less than 50% of the year, due to "out of towners". This puts financial stress on local business, because obviously they have less people to sell things/services to. And we wonder why our seaside towns are dying Also worth pointing out the the vast majority of those unused houses were people from London, regardless of where we studied. Ahh the inequality of cities raises it's head again. So hopefully this can spread around the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 An amateur player has killed a referee by headbutting him after being sent off. One moment of insanity by some idiot, and someone's life is over just like that. Somewhat morbid thoughts for a Friday afternoon, but it's easy to forget how frail human life is. Quote An amateur Mexican footballer is on the run after allegedly head-butting and inadvertently killing a referee who gave him a red card. Ruben Rivera Vazquez allegedly became incensed at his expulsion during a Sunday league match in Tulancingo, the second-biggest city in the state of Hidalgo. During his protestations, Vazquez head-butted referee Victor Trejo, who then fainted. Paramedics on site tried to revive the victim to no avail, and the alleged perpetrator fled in a pick-up truck after seeing the ref had suffered serious injury.

Dodgyknees Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Surreal post alert. Do slugs squeak or squeal? We have an infestation right now, they are getting in through a hole somewhere and making a mess of our carpet at night. So this morning I was up at 3am and caught a few. I grabbed one with some tissue and it was stuck under the door - and it made a weird squeaking noise - I kid you not. Now I am wondering if I was just tired and going mad. Anybody?
