Guilty of sounding off about public school boys. I would go off and draft a better argument but I am probably far too grumpy in the face of a mountain of ironing for work next week. Thank god I have ignored all advice from Ma about ironing knickers, sheets and tea towels, otherwise said mountain would likely crash into the flat downstairs.

whose that trip trapping over my bridge... The average wage stats tends to be skewed by a very small proportion of people at the top end who earn silly amounts. Depending on the way the data is cut the average income is between 20 and 30k. A lot of people earn a lot less than that. Only 10% of people earn over approximately 50k and there is something like 1% earning over 100k, but the over 100k range of income is vast. Figures are also skewed by the calculations of part time work.

People who do good kind acts just because that's the way they are, not for status and not so they can tell everyone about it Ordinary people, ie not on the telly, I meet who inspire me to be a better person or a more brave person Slightly elderly gentlemen who smile at me in the street, say good morning, and make me feel like a "young lady" and politeness still exists and yeah I have a weakness for Northerners too, I think this partly a familiarity thing which is comforting in the isolation of a big city. But I like the dark humour and the bluntness. Northerners are usually better out of the North though.

Binary - I used to work pretty much in an all male office and I have never seen so much embarrassing fawning in my life. I have an insight in to the all boys public school world, there is a definite hierarchy...

is that the little greene paint - thats really good and goes on well and they have another brand - not sure on the name but that's great comes in loads of colours

I have been there today - I think it is 8 til 5 (or 6) they are closed sundays. Agree their website isnt great, i went looking for opening hours in there before. They are an amazing paint shop tho' and just the friendliest and most helpful set of guys.

I have just been one of those tranced sainsburys shoppers. i attempted the self check out too ha ha. what was i thinking. need a lie down now.

I didnt even notice it, though I would rarely look at the trouser region of a Tory. There's nothing there of interest for the likes of me

I hate the fact that at the age of 33 I have not learned that if I drink beer and then finish the evening with a short I will feel violently ill the next day and still be in my dressing gown at 9 33 incapable of movement fast than turtle with a limp. I hate the fact I do not plan for such a situation by filling the fridge with bacon.

no way they may be second hand, but they are patrick cox second hand

I cant decide what is likely to make me be sick in my shoe most, his fecking wall paper or my rum consumption.

Currently work for Fullers... hmmm i had some of your honey dew tonight, it was rather moreish, quite potent though!

yeah but at least IKEA*** will give me the basics of what I vaguely want and providing I have my own spanners and a some spare 'bits", I can fk it up myself, this coalition is full on MFI. shit design, wonky in implementation and will need be to replaced in 5 years with something more substantial.... *** in fairness to ikea i once drank myself through a parental visit then was saved by ikea through meatballs and that never end fizzy drink facility, i even bought some sort of cupboard stacking device. only this coalition could include something so clearly wrong as danny alexander.

but if i was designing a new uniform for flight attendants... hmmm blue .... and yellow ohhh yes what a combination.....

my nearest big town from home is Middleborough, I knew we'd be fked when the election came through, statistically that was proved today. This government has 17 millionaires in the cabinet, do I feel that your average person and their needs will be adequately considered and fulfilled...... errr no. The wastelands of 3 generations of unemployment (created by thatcher) is about to be compounded by cuts in the only stable employer in the north east- the civil service - with the cuts in benefit (some of which may have been ration) you create a large chunk of the country without hope, who cannot produce and will ultimately become a cost. as for GO, oh hes just a large throbbing sea oh sea kay. A blue suit, really, with yellow. I went to university with these people their grip on reality is a tight as a...

IV will you be refereeing the metaphorical or indeed physical mud wrestling that will need to take place over the battle for the affections of our Rory... Contender reddddaaay (I need to say that I am not in the running here, I'm a toxic spinster, and am an appalling dater given I get so terrified by meeting real people i cant actually speak - but I do love a happy ending!)

Nop, but I shall be taking it forth and pretending it is my own (maybe i shall just expanding it to anyone that spends loads of money to look like they dress from BHS...... I thank you HM.

I would love a chocolate mint, even just to wash away the dirty beer taste (I am trying to wash it away with a bottle of golden sheep but it aint working) Tomorrow I would like to be a slightly faded, slightly tawdry jazz ballad singer. Like a cross between Mary Coughlan and Dinah Washington.

I can understand the defense of Weatherspoons given that it is cheap and therefore accessible to all. Exclusivity based on cost, even though it is a reality, is shitty. My problem is that the big chains have priced the smaller businesses, that really care about the community and the people who go their on a regular basis, out of the market. I always remember it was the "locals" that were cheaper places to go to and the fancy chain bars (ok this was a Yates wine lodge in Durham) were expensive. In the end we all have choices, my folks live on benefits and dont drink in pubs because its not really an option they feel they have (i blame Ma's fancy tastes for putting pesto in her bread these days) but I dont like that big firms come in obliterate everyone else, pubs and smaller breweries, then suggest they are operating for the less financially better off or the ordinary folk. Weatherspoons makes loads of money, loads of it, and lets not forget that.

I just didnt bother to change the battery in my door bell 3 years ago. works for me, its not as if the postman delivers parcels.

I have post work drinks in Canary Wharf where all the pubs and bars are soulless over priced chains (lets not even start on the clientele...) The description of your mum's pub skids reminds me of village pubs at home (err maybe with additional fighting...). so I now have a craving for a pint of Bedlington Terrier. I have made the mental decision to have a swift one and go home, so thank you, you have saved me from a hangover!

Hmm arent the more evangelical types likely to think this man a perfectly sane and rational being....

Me Ma always said that a bottle a dog a day would put hairs on your chest, perhaps said soaking will circumvent the unnatural state of over zealous male grooming. And was your Vrouw in anyway Impetuous (or indeed inappropriate)...

A nice picture of Ron Jeremy in all his glory, I suspect just looking at the man might provoke the most sensitive and wholsesome of souls off to cleanse themselves through prayer. It would give your postie a laugh too.
