they could pay an anonymous hitman to do it with all the rip off rents they charge for all business properties around Dartmoor - because let's not forget, Prince Charles was given Dartmoor so he can claim to be a legitimate businessman raising his own monies not just getting benefits

one of these is Ahmed's clock

woosh?

Exactly what rules were you playing to there?

Didn't think you could do MC from that position.

yep, that's a thing, but as mentioned, you can walk down the High Street and buy a couple of packs in every shop 

Acetone is another that's sort of controlled. We have to phone ahead to the chemist if we want to buy a half litre bottle instead of just going to boots and buying 60 little bottles of nail varnish remover. Even then, they sometimes decline to hand it over. I've been refused acetone. Stupid thing is, you can go on Amazon and buy a warehouse full of the stuff. Perhaps terrorist and drug types don't have internet.

Yep, that's a very good post there and does pretty much match my experience - not least the part about trustafarians.

I've got no problem with somebody running a worldwide multi million pound charity having a decent car or whatever. But in this one particular case, there was a lot of asking people to work for free, lots of taking advantage of contractors good nature, followed by posh evening receptions to promote the cause that the people that donated time weren't invited to.

But that's all a one off situation not to be taken as industry standard.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Oxfam, I don't look into it too closely but they appear to do good works and are well established. MSF are the sort of trendy new kid on the block I guess. 

well, well, well, three holes in the ground

I just went on The Times website for the first time in years - what the hell happened to that newspaper!

Didn't go in through the paywall, but the stuff you were allowed to see was just cheap junk. Literally all that crap about who's having an affair, what's on the telly, top 10 best shoes, a story about aliens and something about how wonderful coconut oil is (last thing I want is the missus coming home and smelling coconut oil thank you very much).

Anyway, the reason for the visit to The Times, was because apparently their summary of yesterday's PMQ's was basically 'ha ha oatmeal suit and brown shirt looozr lolz'.

We're doomed.

Minister of Justice, done deal. Make sure you wear a tie.

I think we should constantly drip feed insufficient millions of dollars of guns and ammunition into this region in the hope of having an influence but on a budget. I have no knowledge of the complex history, politics or various cultural groupings but if we could just give a small number of bombs and guns to groups that haven't already been outed as bad guys by the media, I think we'll be fine.

I believe you've confused me with a rugby fan from central casting.

You're on the list.

I believe the ideal system is a self sufficient sustainable technologically advanced and educated society headed up by a benevolent dictator (me).

There was quite a bit more to it that I won't bore you with here. 

We should all give to charity, either time or money, even if it's just turning up in the office with enough money to buy some cakes for Macmillan or whatever.

As an office we do a bit of giving, 'give and gain' days I think they are called. We also try to give work experience spots to kids from 'rough' areas of town that don't automatically have the family contacts and networking to get themselves interesting (?) work experience places.

it found trades for prisoners, trained 'em up inside and got them a first job on the outside

I don't condone the fighting in Hungary. They should be happy to arrive at the first safe place where they can get food and shelter and be treated with some dignity.

There is a problem that Germany is clearly a more prosperous country than Hungary, appears more welcoming from simple news reports and has a leader that has openly encouraged people to get there promising a good welcome. 

Your comment on showing fight at home against barrel bombs and psychotic terrorists is really really crass.

THEY ARE

this is at least the third time this question has been asked in this thread

I made a mistake of doing quite a lot of work for free for a charity, the work took time, but it also cost money with a good few trips to London. When the work finished, the guy running the charity came to our office and rolled up in a convertible E Class Merc with a private plate that was the name of the charity.

It felt like I'd been had.

I heard that if he gets in to power he's going to tax gratuitous multi quoting.

He has accepted an invitation to join Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privvy Council.

Which is a good thing. 

Probably off to Debenhams right now for an ostrich feather hat and a lacey garter. Important to look the part.

he only got the job on Saturday!

What's the name of that board game, oooh, you know the one, where a guy steals a car runs over a cop and shoots hookers? 

The only time the kids aren't allowed to play GTA is when either of their nans are in the house. It's just not worth the grief.

I gave up on gaming when they added colour to Asteroids.

that's a really confusing format the Metro has there

I couldn't work out what 'cutting the grass' was for a while, or where the 8 mexicans came into the story.

Anyway, it's happened to the best of us, so I'm not going to be judgemental.

but then, I would bet he is for the repatriation back to their home country of immigrants living in Britain that have come here from Diego Garcia

so ying and yang

Seriously though, regardless of his own personal views there are two things to consider. Firstly, he says he wants to lead the Labour party by debate, concession and compromise. We'll have to see if that is possible, we'll have to see if he even tries to keep his word on that. Secondly, can you see any chance of the UK public, guided and advised by their newspapers and tv and radio allowing the election of a party with the surrender of the Falklands as a policy? No. So how much is it a problem and how much is it more of the same old drama queen shouty politics?

Similarly, we won't be going unilaterally nuke free any time soon either. There are massive union backers of Corbyn, that even if he was in power (which just let us remind ourselves, he isn't) rely on jobs in the MoD, defence, trident. Do you think he'd win an election with a pledge to close down the MoD, the last dockyard and decommission the bombs?

If we get a few months of genuine debate out of this, it will have been a welcome change. I don't think we will be a hippie republican commune within the next 18 months.

Be nice to get the trains back though, and the mail. Be nice to have museum staff employed by museums not outsourced to Carillion via G4S from a spin off Capita contract. Be nice to collect a bit more tax from people earning over £150,000 pa and spend it on decent care homes for the elderly. It would be nice not to have to go to the Chinese and the French and plead with them to build us power stations and almost any price because we don't have the mindset or technology to do it ourselves. Seriously, Chinese nuclear power stations in the centre of the UK? Yet we are supposed to be distracted by whether somebody will or won't sing a song to the queen?

No.

relax, enjoy the ride

we've all been there!
