    I like that they gave the sausage roll back at the end of the day. So they don't actually give a toss what the kid eats, they just want to say they have rules about healthy lunches.

    The fuck did they give it back to him for, then?

    Edit: I see John has covered this on the next page. Apologies.

    We did quite well to miss all of this healthy eating bollocks at school. We alternated between the main dining hall, which did everything, and then the supposed healthy option which was just the same shit but no chips, so you had to get sausage rolls and a slice of pizza instead. Towards the end they actually introduced a 'fast food' option to get the waiting times down, which meant going down a different queue and being restricted to burger/hotdog and chips. It was the best thing ever when you were fourteen [and fat]. These days I bet the only hot thing is curry, and you probably have to be transgender to get a pudding.

    You say that, but having turkey twizzlers and then not having them was proper heartache.

    Of course I had them. Catering contractors are catering contractors whether you're an upstairs or downstairs type. They were bloody marvellous.

    You will have had them at someone's house, asked your mum for some, and then got banned from going round. Anyway, they never got binned until 2005, by which point we were well off school dinners.

    I think our school binned the mighty twizzlers in about 2003, as all the Twickenham mothers will have complained.

    It was the mass produced spotted dick and custard that filled us up after that.

    Even in the fruity 'food technology' lessons we had to endure for a few months they had us making cheesecakes and chilli. It seems like another world (a better world).

    Turkey burgers were the number 1 seller at my school, they were genuinely great.

    One at break time and then another with some chips at lunch.

    Just seen that Rooney got away with a 2yr driving ban, zero fine and 12 months community service for being three times over the limit... that seems incredibly lenient - is that sort of sentence typical?

    I'm pretty sure the judge gave him more community service instead of a fine, as he said the fine would have no effect on Rooney.

    I think it's a percentage of income up to 15k? No idea why 15 popped into my head but it feels correct.

    It’s always done on income but I didn’t think the maximum was that high.

    Edit: It’s Ł2500. https://www.gov.uk/drink-driving-penalties

    Why does it matter how much you are over the limit? If you're over it you're over it, and being more lenient for being 'just over' implies that there are certain levels of drunkness where controlling a car is still possible.

    What else would he get anyway? You only start going to prison when you actually hurt people.

    This suggests otherwise.

    Though amazingly, it doesn't actually give any further detail.

    But surely you accept that the more drunk you become, the more impaired you become. Whilst I agree that if you are over, you are over - it also seems pretty obvious that there is a difference between being .01 over the limit, versus 0.4.

    Then why have an official limit? Just stop people and judge it on the scene.

    Then there should be a way to challenge it. Maybe get drunk and then complete a driving course in front of the judge.

    I imagine you would get fewer years for murdering someone with a donk on the head than you would for (say) stabbing someone 300 times, cutting their heart out, eating their genitals and shitting in the corpse's mouth. The population is -1 in both cases.

    What? You realise that it's testing your alcohol:blood ratio right?

    If me and Andre The Giant both drank 3 beers, I would be closer to over the limit then he is.

    Yeah, and somebody who is good at driving could still control a car 'over the limit' better than somebody who is crap at it regardless.

    Isn't you getting 'drunk' having half a pint of shandy washed down with a glass of milk? I'm not sure you're the best representative of the idea of being over the limit.

    There's no magic line over which you're suddenly drunk, having a limit at all acknowledges that there are amounts of alcohol that can be in your system without impairing your driving.
