Apparently, Kevin from admin is fed up of being overlooked just because he shares a first name with Kev from marketing. Seriously though, in this instance, I do think 'all leave cancelled' is more a figure of speech. Any non playing staff could easily excuse themself from being able to unexpectedly return to work.

Many are too quick to take social media announcements too literally. I really don't think 'everyone' means literally everyone. If Kevin from admin is in Tenerife with his wife and kids he won't be ending his holiday early.

I'm pleased for you but can't help wondering how certain are you that: she will say yes organising the day won't cause enough arguments to negate the point of renewing vows neither of you won't mess the day up again?

Really?

'Scum' have always been part of society, now, 10 years ago, 100 years ago, even 1000 years ago. The difference now is social media gives them a platform to publicise and the issue is therefore perceived to be worse. Threatening to 'rip them apart' shouldn't be a resonse for anyone hoping to stay on the correct side of the 'scum' line. Ignore main stream social media and you will feel much better about society.

First away win for QPR in 18 games, since February at... the sty.

After 26 years as the home owner answering my door to salesman', I have settled on: saying "hello" in a happy and positive manner (conveying that I'm not just being a miserable sod); spending about 5 seconds listening to them before I establish they want to sell me something; politely interrupting them by saying 'I don't buy at the door so I wish you luck with your next customer'; smile at them as I gently close the door. Takes about 10 seconds, I haven't wasted too much of their or my time and I haven't been too rude either. Provided they don't insist (lie) that they are 'not selling anything' and provided they don't just tut and mumble something under their breath as they walk away, it doesn't normally bother me.

You're too noisy?!

To my knowledge, you don't need to carry a card once you have registered as an organ donor. My original 1987 paper card has long since perished but I'm on the register to donate.

I've just read through the current blood donation rules and the size of pussies isn't referenced. Your massive one will be welcomed.

I remember reading up on 'both sides' of the argument 30 years ago whilst in my late teens before I chose to carry a donor card. Three years ago I urged my then 17 year old son to consider reading the facts around donation and a few weeks later he was carrying a donor card and has regularly donated blood ever since, entirely of his own choice of course. I'm glad you've changed your mind before you were unfortunate enough to be able to donate an organ(s) or need to receive. .

Why were you 'vehemently against organ donation'?

Unless customers require emergency assistance in the form of ambulance, fire, police or coastguard, I wouldn't travel if my local police authority warned against travel unless totally necessary. The increased risks just aren't worth it. Your customers won't compensate you if your car gets damaged or if you slip and break something. They definitely can't compensate you if the worst happens. My nightly commute is 214 miles and like yourself, I consider my work important but my company takes staff safety so seriously, I would be reprimanded if I travelled against advice.

Will you still get paid if it's not safe for you to travel to work?

Remembered as one of the most over exaggerated statements regarding sport, I can't believe Lawro still gets paid for his opinions.

Another good game for Hutton, even when switched from right to left back after Taylor (our only 'average' performing player today) was subbed.

A series that gets better by the episode. The character Geoff in episode 5 is hilarious. "Don't call me Geoff, he'll know I'm called Geoff!" Pleased to read that series 2 has been agreed.

The wife suggested we watched it when it was first released. I'll admit I fully expected it to be a style over substance typical American drama with dodgy acting and a weak plot full of holes. How wrong I was. Never going to win awards but very, very enjoyable. I think I knew it would be good when I saw how the cigarette burn was cooled and by whom.

Another 5 years contributions should add a fair bit to your benefits. Also, don't forget you aren't paying income tax and national insurance on the £220/month that goes into your pension pot. If you stop your pension contributions you won't have an extra £220 per month to save toward your retirement because after tax (lower rate) and NI your 'take home' will increase by just less than £150. I'd think very carefully before stopping your contributions. I suspect most decent IFAs would advise you continue to contribute.

How old are you?

Are the figures you've been given based on contributing in to your pension up to 60 or are they the benefits you have accrued to date, i.e. what you'd get at 60 if you stopped paying in now?

Taken at what age?

I stuck the series out and wish I hadn't bothered.

Strange that it was such common knowledge that they were able to turn it into a widely understood joke, or perhaps they did it as an inside joke that would make them look 'in the know' once Louis' little perversion was revealed. Have to say though, their faces do look like they're thinking - *sigh* 'he's going to get his knob out again' .

Vending machines. In over four decades I think I've used them about 10 times, probably all as a teenager at the local swimming pool. Despite their convenience, I try to avoid paying more than double for what I can get elsewhere with just a bit of forethought. It's the same as buying confectionary from petrol stations or the cinema. Do I want a single chocolate bar for £1+? No thanks, I've already bought a pack, the equivalent of 2 or 3 single bars, for a quid.
