  1. Nah, serious, I'll pay this back, sweet as. You haven't got any fags on you have you? Yeah yeah, I'll pay you back tomorrow. You got a light? Good man. Could I sleep on your sofa?
  2. From each, according to their ability, to each, according to their need. Fair reward as agreed by consensus. Political decision makers elected 40% by popular vote, 60% by random jury selection style system. Anybody wanting to opt out and swim for another island are more than welcome to **** off. .
  3. 2:2 they're a bit of a bogey team for us and we were 2 down in the first half so it's an ok result it's heresy, but we were joint top of the league and I don't particularly want promotion this season, so a convenient 2 points dropped
  4. Ton Pentre vs Barry Town Barry player gets lengthy talking to from ref for complaining about a kick in the knackers he'd received. Ref tells him to man up and play on. Within a minute ref gets a ball shot straight in to his knackers which poleaxes him and receives by far the biggest cheer of the game.
  5. organised a bit of a surprise for someone, got a bunch of stripogram blokes to go round his house dressed as police with cucumber truncheons to give him sexy times turns out the buggers moved house
  6. Sound off so only reading the sub titles. Read as quite funny. Funny because it's true sort of funny.
  7. chose to leave his job, but it's a first offence, so loses benefits for just one month it's an internal tory plot, they're all words removed, they're just fighting over who will be top word removed in July
  8. The issue of tax is not new to the tory or coalition governments. The ahh but argument really is hollow. Take for example the Robin Hood Tax pressure group. That was formed to push for a fairer tax regime and was set up under the previous Labour government. The very term 'robin hood tax' had already been around for 10 years before they got their shit together and went all social media. James Tobin won a Nobel Economics Prize in the 1970's for suggesting a tax of 0.5% on all big financial transactions and large institutions. I think what you're seeing is a return of mass public interest in tax because there is currently a perfect storm of a party self prescribed as 'the nasty party' which has found itself in power at a time of financial crisis. They have been seen to publicly proclaim we are all in it together, whilst giving tax breaks and incentives to the rich that appear to be more or less 'balanced' by taking money from the poor. You've calculated you've gained in the budget. I've gained over a few budgets. Yet somehow, somebody that needs a carer to attend and lives on disability benefits is potentially finding their benefits cut at the same time they are being charged extra for the bedroom they use to give their partner some respite from 24/7 care. Perhaps under Labour, when money was given out like sweets it didn't look like such a problem and lip service was paid to tax issues by organisations like Oxfam and Comic Relief. But it was still there. Since then we've seen the banks crash and our money used to bail them out whilst they've still paid themselves bonuses that have gone on to help skew the housing market. It's not aaah but under labour. That's been and gone, we got the memo, Gordon Brown single handed broke the world. Six years on and we owe more than ever, services have been cut and the rich are substantially richer. We have an economic policy of taking from the poor to give to the rich to magic up some trickle down. It's not very nice. That six years ago some other party I don't support were also poor at taxing the rich, is no longer relevant. But equally, you can't blame a scorpion for stinging a frog. You just need to try and work out why the frogs voted for scorpions.
  9. It's a matter of record that my tory MP took a Ministerial salary of over £100,000 plus an additional £191,000 in expenses for 2014/15. He then voted to take money off the disabled.
  10. absolute record First question on QT was about tax cut vs disability benefit cut. First answer was tory woman who blamed it on the last Labour government. I didn't have the stop watch going, but I made that less than 5 seconds.
  11. As my missus sometimes reads VT for the lolz it's important to point out I have never done this. Never.
  12. and that's the nub of everything We need to consume less, yet we are trying to buy and sell our way out of an economic crisis. We need to educate people against over consumption of everything, but our schools are soon to be privatised purveyors of tat. What we really need is the accelerated arrival of the Chrisp65 People's Jamahiriya Benign Dictatorship. It's coming, don't despair, it's coming. Touch the screen, pledge ten dollars.
  13. that's a **** storming barrow load of tunes there, Prince Fatty is on my list for the weekend... Do you think that overdosing on 6 or 7 albums in one hit will have you satisfied and higher for longer? Or will you find yourself casually picking up something dirty for £3.99 in a couple of days time when you're coming down?
  14. You promise not to do the design layouts, I'll promise not to sit in the dark talking in binary or Linus or whatever it is.
  15. Somewhere deep in the midlands Nicky Keyes just pulled the data plug out of the office phone.
  16. he can ~@2%4!+'~' {]1%£$& 0(`## right off, that's what's going to happen paper and folders now encroaching by up to 15mm on to my desk my lovely, pristine, end of the office, away from monkey island, not overlooked by anyone, double windows, desk
  17. Bloody hell, similar but wrong model in a similar but different advert. Glad this was marketing research and not a professional hit as per my day job, that'd be an invoice I couldn't send out.
  18. We've just had a little re shuffle in the one office I work from and I've got a new 'buddy' in my corner. He doesn't appear to understand the concept of a telephone. He can pick up the handset ok, he dials the number ok, but when the other person answers he appears to be under the impression you then have to SHOUT AS LOUD AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THE OTHER PERSON IS VERY VERY FAR AWAY. First time I was in and he made a call, everyone else turned, stared and smiled. My paranoia suggests I've been stitched up. He also has piles upon piles of paper on his desk. He prints off e-mails.
  19. is it Emma Leth ? whatever you do, don't scroll down slightly NSFW in a tasteful way
  20. U.S. President not to get involved in politics, but U.S. business man Ruper Murdoch is entitled to relentlessly push his opinion? Bizarre.
