Tell me about it.


6 months on JSA is pretty crippling. And if you live at home.... forget getting any extra help.


If only I could speak fluent French! Sacrebleu!

Oh for fuck?s sake! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8094515.stm


What?s the point of going to a festival if you, ?Don't drink too much? don't take drugs, drink plenty of water, wear sun screen when hot and keep your feet dry??


And now you can?t crowd surf because apparently, ?Joanna Squires, aged 30, from Essex, was knocked over and sustained bruising to her head??





Balls.

Does this cunt actually expect us to buy this?

Or could have perhaps been entitled, Man in charge of excuses thinks you are an idiot.

Apparently it's illegal to be in possession of a 16 year old boy from Norwood.


This Is Local London


Also arrested were a 25-year-old financial insurance broker from Sheffield who was cautioned for possession of an offensive weapon and possession of cannabis and a 16-year-old boy from West Norwood.



Journalist from Southwark Life perhaps?

Loving current issue of New Scientist.

Willing to think that 'Falling out of love with Market Myths' and 'Are you a Believer' about climate change denial and subjective dissonance even among 'beleievers' won't be bedtime Reading for our own dear (and respected) Marmora* Man.


*yaaaayyy iPhone no longer insists on marmots

That's not all Ted - I found out that the Bossanova setting on a Yamaha P43ICY organ uses 10 times more power than the Rock setting.. so... you know what to do


Has anyone seen that freaky Daily Mail front page from yesterday I think where, apparently, people who have a patio are going to have the jackboot of the state repeatedly stamped in their face?


or something

that was my favourite line too annaj


Just remember peasants - just because you work 10 hours behind a beeping till in Sainsbury's and then possibly a cleaning job at night to make ends meet, that's NOTHING compared to the hell of the middle classes who had to read a story like this yesterday. possibly sitting on their patio. In the sun. Eating freshly baked croissants, gourmet coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice...


Us middle-classes - our life is unbearable I tell you

    • Niko 07818 607 583 has been doing jobs for us for several years, he is reliable, always there for us, highly recommended! 
    • I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.
    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
