fish

The actor Richard Grieve, who plays Jonny Foster in Emmerdale and is Paul Lambert's civil partner, was causing a bit of a stir in Sainsbury's this morning.

Some of us are gonna be a lot worse off, because of this and those O.A.P's, like my mum, have to be ever so grateful for the extra ?50 towards fuel bills, especially as the cost of electricity and gas has been hiked up so much that she's been wrapped around a blanket most of this winter. If it's a choice of earning a salary of ?60,000 (even if it's only for one term) and living off a single state pension, I'll take the ?60,00 - plus expenses and other perks that come with the job.

Thank you. When you're, forever, living on the bread line and finding it really hard to keep a roof over your head, pay your bills, keep warm and - heaven forbid - eat, it does tend to make you a little irrational. Blimey, you'd think the Chancellor and the P.M., would have better things to do than get on to the E.D., Forum?

It's that time again folks. Yes, it looks like the ordinary working person has been thumped, yet again, with the full force of this Government's left hook. As David Cameron pointed out, it was the Prime Minister pulling the Chancellor's strings and it is he, Gordon Brown, who has created this econmic mess. As for an extra ?50 in fuel payments, for the over 60's (?100 more if you're over 80 - if the majority don't freeze to death before this age), b......'s! But it's the sheer arrogance of these out-of-touch morons that really gets my goat up. These leeches with their guaranteed gold-plated pensions, courtesy of the hard pressed tax payer, need to be kicked into touch and come and live in the real world.

Totally agree with cdonline and Keef.

The Vatican has said that modern times bring with them modern sins (ie bioethics, drug trafficking, ecological offences, economic injustices, human use of fossil fuels etc). In my book, the biggest sin is the Catholic Church turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse of children, by evil and perverted priests. How about, Thou shall not sweep sexual abuse cases under the carpet?

Did the lovely Mr Nesbitt flash - a smile?

A very fine actress, indeed.

Surely, Southwark Council are not allowing them to park in the cemetery for free? I'm sure I saw some kind of marquee up, too. The cones have, also, taken over the cemetery. Still, the residents are not likely to complain, are they.

I was up there, visting, but there was no one to ask. Just my luck.

Does anyone know if they're filming in the above cemetery, as there's a blue bus and loads of vehicles parked up there.

Saw one half of the comic duo from Live and Kicking (BBC kids programme) in Sainsbury's this morning.

The proposal by Professor Julian Le Grand, forcing smokers to apply for a ?10 "permit" to buy cigarettes, which could help people to quit,if they had to apply for an annual permit to "opt in". Apparently, this proposal is one of the Health England group's suggestions to be sent to Lord Darzi, the health minister.
