  1. Thank you for putting your opinion across in such a pleasant manner. If you'd bothered reading what I'd actually written, I said I did not agree, nor disagree with what she'd said. I objected to her being called a 'bint'. She's played classical piano, violin and harp since she was a young kid, and she's doing a degree in astronomy. She must have a bit going on up top. It's not about what 2 mil can buy you, it's what falsely inflated price has been put on a house you may have bought for peanuts in 1985. There are loads of bog-standard semis in that price bracket too. It doesn't make the owners millionaires. As far as I can see, it's just another means of forcing ordinary folk out of the capital, and making sure only the super rich can live there.
  2. I've got the wrong end of the stick then. I was under the impression they'd be charged a yearly tax while they were living there.
  3. It's not income tax though is it? A person could be unemployed and not have a penny in the bank, but be forced to leave their home. That's no different to bedroom tax, only the house is in London, and therefore is worth more. If they stopped high earners from dodging income tax, they wouldn't need to introduce unfair taxes like this one.
  4. It's nobody else's place to judge. Nobody is more qualified than yourself to make that decision, no matter where your head is at.
  5. Sorry if this comes across a tad patronising. I know Vlad's advice is with the best of intentions, but things are often more complex. Sometimes pain is so unbearable, you can't confront it. Even if that means going a bit crazy for a time, you do whatever it takes to get you through. Now isn't always the right time for counselling. Sometimes it has to wait until you're feeling strong enough to deal with it. Just do what's right for you.
  6. She wasn't saying it with any feminist agenda though. She was speaking out on behalf of her own. My point was that she's entitled to do that, whether or not she's 'out of touch' with the masses. Being skint doesn't earn you the right to a valid opinion. If an issue affects her, she can kick off about it.
  7. Good lad. Never burn your bridges. Even if you never go back you'll want a reference and nobody wants to be pegged as 'the abusive mentalist'. Take it from me, I was forced by work to go off sick once when I exploded in the office and beat the crap out of the photocopier. Fucker jammed one time too many.
  8. Ring your manager, tell them you're going home and seeing the doctor tomorrow. Get a sick note for a week and see where your head is at then. Don't do anything rash. You need to make sure you're controlling the situation, not the other way round, or you will end up regretting it. You've faced massive amounts of shit and upheaval this year. A week off to get your head together will do you good. Take care of yourself x
  9. That Gemma Collins looks like John Sergeant auditioning for the Rocky Horror Show.
  10. Sorry if I came across all whoremoanal feminist, I only read snippets of what was said in the paper so I can't agree or disagree in any depth, apart from to say that I believe we should be taxed solely on our incomes and not fixed assets (until they're sold), whether that be a mansion, a bedroom or a potted plant. I disagree with the mansion tax because I feel it's unfair, but it certainly doesn't evoke the same anger in me as the bedroom tax. It just shocks me that people react so incredulously that a woman with a pretty face could actually hold her own valid opinion against a man. Obviously the first reaction of the mysoginists is to call her a bint.
  11. Why is she a bimbo? Because she sang in a shit group and has a pretty face? She's actually a well-educated, intelligent woman. She has every right to speak out on a topic which would affect her. How many wankers are spouting 'Fuck her, she's only standing up for the rich. Where was she on the bedroom tax issue?' Why is it her responsibility to speak out on bedroom tax? It's like saying 'fuck these selfish bastards going on about bedroom tax. At least they've got a house. They should be speaking out for the homeless who'd love to have the problem of an extra room'. It pisses me off that if a woman is reasonably attractive and done alright for for herself, she's labelled a 'bint'.
  12. It does. Why is it that you can have a poo the size of Staffordshire, jump on the scales excitedly, only to find you've lost bugger all, but if you weigh yourself, then have a brew you put 2lbs on.
  13. Make a lewd comment to her on twitter, she'll marry you.
  14. Getting some teaching inspiration from Mr Poppy, Paul? I'm glad to see Nativity has finally got a shout. I love it. Hope it cheers her up!
  15. I bloody well am. If I cast a sideways glance at a Crunchie she snarls at me, while the kids are giving it Augustus Gloop. Fucking Kids. Fucking Nans.
  16. My mum keeps an entire drawer in her bedroom, full of chocolate and sweets and biscuits, 'for the kids'. As soon as they're over the door they're in there like pigs, and come out with armfuls of shit. If I even hint that they've perhaps taken slightly too many it's all "Oh leave them alone! You have what you want love". 30 years ago, I wasn't allowed a solitary lousy fucking custard cream from the same woman till I'd finished every last morsel of tea on my plate. We only ever had shit biscuits, only had good'uns at Christmas.
  17. Easily done, he's totally unrecognisable. He looks like a cross between David Beckham and an overstuffed pillow.
  18. People giving you their email address, who add 'it's all lower case'. Email addresses aren't case sensitive, you dribbling spazbucket. Obviously I don't say that, I just think it. I smile politely and say 'oh, okay' so as not to appear the superior know-all twat that I am.
  19. How many times are they going to reinvent that frigging song? Seeing as it's for ebola, I hope they sing 'Bleed the World'.
  20. Gone with the Win: horrified wife discovers husband has won the euro millions and fucked off with the ticket. Oman Holiday: Audrey Hepburn isn't quite as fit in a burka. The Maltese Falco: Mediterranean island dweller follows his dream to become 'Rock Me Amadeus' tribute act.
  21. I thought that too. You'd have thought the breast or buttock would be the bit you'd go for first.
  22. I'm 10 and a half months off fags. I've weaned myself down to 8mg oil but I'm desperate to get off it altogether. I am far more psychologically dependent on this crack pipe than I ever was on cigarettes. I take spare bits of kit with me everywhere I go, and I panic if I put it down and can't find it. It's like having a dummy! I might ask my mum if I can hand it over to Father Christmas for an extra present.
