Agree with all that. I think the arrogance has also held him back a bit too in a roundabout kind of way.

He's more interested in a massive payday which will set him for life, than actually being a genuine great. In my opinion.

That ship largely sailed a while back, most places are on their second third or fourth private owner, so there are no great discounts.

Hands up, I'd lose. But it might be an idea for them to give the correct information at their site, looks pretty dodgy.

Southwark do seem to be particularly bad. Not sure I like the tone of some posts which seem to suggest that you wouldn't want to buy because you might end up with some council tennants as your neighbours. One thing you should really remember is that people don't tend to shit on their own doorsteps. Not even *gasp* people living in council flats.

I'd be willing to bet money that the charity they're donating to is themselves.

No, it's Cock-Womble. Sounds posher if it's double barrelled innit.

Posts in the advertising sections of the forum get deleted after a while, in order to clean up and make space. I'm guessing that's what's happened here.

I feckin hate Keith Lemon.

Personally I think Top Gear is pretty much as shit as JK, but I appreciate that LOADS of people think it's great.

I was quite surprised to find a few people with the same name as me on FB. Both of my kids will probably be unique.

Yeah I was going to say that most of these types of programmes (another one was with Nick & Margret from The Apprentice looking at the benefits situation and meeting people on low incomes) seem to be on in the evening.

I agree with *bob*. They have various organisations apparently watching out for breaches of certain rules. So long as they're within those rules, they're simply going to put out whatever makes the most money.

Seriously? That's absolutely disgusting.

*shudders*

The OP SAID "In the run up to the election and aftermath of the no vote, I've noticed a big increase in the number of programmes which seem to be aired purely to stir things up. These "documentaries" seem pretty low on facts and pretty low on purpose." i don't think there has been a big increase, I think this sort of stuff has been around for years. I just don't see the link to the No Vote at all.

This is not something that has happened or even increased since the No Vote.

I wish we were doing SOMETHING at Anfield!

Bit quiet in the office this morning. Someone just made a cuppa.

That is a tough one.

As I said earlier, it started off as about the animals when she was young, but now she does it more for environmental reasons.

But you said before it takes willpower, which suggests there is a DESIRE to change, which you have to fight. I know my missus often looks at meat and fancies a try, she has to stop herself, even after all these years.

But seriously, how long do you need to not eat meat before you're a genuine vegetarian?
