Sorry, Louisa.. you lose.

In a local 'Spar', when I was about ten years old, the shopkeeper rapped the back of my hand with a tube of Smarties (smartly). I was trying to steal a Mars Bar at the time. I never tried to steal anything from that shop again. Who knows, if I'd received a brace of slaps and perhaps a cracked rib or two instead of being lightly admonished with a tube of sweets, I might not have gone on to pinch Rolos from the other newsagent and handfuls of pick n mix from Woolies? Or they could have held me down and stabbed me in the eye, which would certainly have put me off stealing sweets for life, I assure you. Nobody knows if the bloke was even shoplifting. Nobody knows if the bloke was shoplifting and threw a punch before alleged 'aaht of ordaa' restraint by staff. As usual, nobody knows anything. But it's comforting to see that the usual pointlessly polarised battlelines have already been drawn.

Yes, emoticons are absolute COCK. Users of emoticons need to sit down, have a good hard look at their lives and try to figure out where it all went wrong. I mean that in the nicest possible way of course - yeah guys? :)-D

Sore, I would think.

Seems to work fine once it's up and running. But if you're one of the unlucky few who have problems getting up and running (or during the service) be prepared for hours spent on the phone trying to explain your problems with overseas-based call-centre operatives who tell you their name is 'Phillip' and are clearly reading from a script. Speeds aren't exactly blistering either, but it's CHEAP, innit?

I think Jah could be right. You have to make your own entertainment up when you're at Keele.

Human relationships are all about attraction. So think of attraction between men as being on a sliding scale, with 1 being a firm handshake, 100 being a blowjob - and rugby players clocking-in at about 38. It's about environment too. It was interesting (and entertaining) during the few years I was clubbing a lot with a large group of friends (with a hefty gay contingent) to see at the effect that a liberal, permissive and intoxicated atmosphere could have..

Couldn't we get rid of the police and civil service and replace them with, like, a giant benevolent crystal which would keep the peace by promoting a sense of wellbeing - and also collect taxes?

They did

I did say 'some', not all. I just think there's something incongruous about having total mastery over a Sky+ system and pretending not to know what 'chip and pin' means.

My ex-flatmate was bi - and I know for a fact that the carpets in our rental flat suffered as a result.

Are you tenants allowed to be bi, Rico?

That's true in some cases, Sue. But some older people just don't want to try. "I'm old! I can't be bovvered with all this!" My feeling is that if you're capable of memorising what time every episode of Eastenders, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks are on, you ought to be able to manage a four digit number without too many problems.

French Cricket would be good (It's a game - not a sexual act)

I think I've only over played three computer games with any real 'conviction' (ie obsession): Goldeneye - the 4-way multiplayer game is just great Deus Ex - which for a month or so I more or less regarded as a full-time job Elite - not so much a game, more a way of life (until I finally got one)

Will pensioners and the disabled be allowed to smoke in their council properties?

Fruit Bananas Nectarines Lemons (essential for cooking and drinks) Limes (as above) Strawberries Apples Oranges (easy-peel only) Melon Raspberries Peaches Nectarines are actually my favourite but Bananas are more 'useful'.

The genius of the large, horrible windows is that you can see how crap it is from the outside without even having to go if for a viewing. They could fill it with water and fish - it might make a nice aquarium.

Or aeroplanes 30 years ago? Personally, Rico, I don't think the gist of your argument is entirely without merit, but unfortunately, when you say.. "I fundamentally believe Council Housing is a privilege not a right, and not for life. It should not be for life and it should carry with it both responsibilities and 'incentives' to get on your feet and move on." ...it sounds like your reason for banning smoking in council housing is basically along the same lines as why people in prison should be made to shit in a bucket instead of being given proper toilet like everyone else.
