    For the IB we had to do 50 hours each of the below:


    • Creativity – arts, and other experiences that involve creative thinking.
    • Activity – physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle, complementing academic work elsewhere in the DP.
    • Service – an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student. The rights, dignity and autonomy of all those involved are respected.


    On top of your everyday subjects. It was the best part of the entire program and everyone should nick it.

    That Sinn Fein bloke CALLING HIM OUT (not unreasonably from their loser perspective) for stoating about Ireland calling himself 'Sir' was good.

    One of my all-time favourite David Cameron moments was when he gave a speech after Bob Geldof at some shite, and when Geldof went for a handshake Wor Dave manhandled him into a weird hug. Unfortunately, I think it was a 'WebCameron' production, and that stuff went down the memory hole with Ed Vaizey.

    If he doesn’t want to have the same stuff as dodgy fuckers, then he should probably give away all of his money. I’ll take it.

    It's not inconceivable that they are worth that to professional outfits, but would the non-Apple equivalent (if there is stuff as good) cost as much?

    It's funny because that RAM capability is there ostensibly in view of future memory needs, but at the same time Apple products (and tech in general) go obsolete after a few years so you wouldn't even be able to use that computer once this becomes a 128 Gb RAM world

    I would be interested to know whether actual businesses are more or less likely to be taken in than individuals. You would think not, but that fails to account for 1) idiots; and 2) the potential to appear to other idiots through packing your workplace with Apple products.

    I'm no computer expert, but my mate is always saying that software simply isn't designed to make use of anything more than 12GB RAM - nor is any other hardware in the machine. And as someone above said, by the time the software does catch up - they'll be a new Mac/PC to buy with 256GB RAM.

    Exactly that (probably higher than 12GB at this stage though). I wouldn't mind Raoul when it comes to Apple though. If they crunched up a few small children/kittens into the enclosure to make it run faster he'd still worship at the temple.

    Fair fucks to them. Is taxing inheritance a thing in most places or is it just a scam here?

    You can get round it though tbh.

    We (my Dad's kids) got round it by putting it in a trust for his wife which runs out after X amount of time (we went for 2 years as it was coming up to that) at which point it becomes ours.

    If she dies within 7 years we're liable to inheritance tax but we've taken out a life insurance policy which will pay for the tax should she die.

    Legends. When we brought EQUAL MARRIAGE in a few people suggested that, because the legislation lacks the sexual element[s] that makes incest illegal, in theory there is nothing to stop you and your dad doing likewise.

    I don't think you've mentioned that before, and it puts all your bleating about her being a grasping bitch into new context.

    Not really.

    She contested her own daughter's claim to a life insurance policy in an attempt to make us feel sorry for her so we gave her a cut of our inheritance, she's constantly attempted to look kind but has fought and lied throughout and almost threw all her toys out when she was asked to pay for her 8 year old son's costs at mediation and made it so they had to take money from an education fund. She was also illegally taking rent from the property that was to be sold for our inheritance.

    etc etc.

    She's also stopped us from seeing our half-brother.

    Her idea was for us to sign over all our shares to her and she'd gift it back to us as soon as the sale went through. She'd have been off back to the house my Dad bought in Ukraine (which she claimed never existed despite showing us plenty of photos) as soon as the money hit her bank account.

    If you can't take the piss out of your family on social media then the world etc etc.

    It's the social media element of it which is probably the issue. He's quite a famous person.

    I thought there was an element of nastiness to the video. Having uncle Lewis Hamilton telling you you shouldn't be wearing what you want to wear isn't going to help in any way.

    He ought to be impervious to the OUTRAGE twats (more so than any other sportsman anyway), so it was a bit of a shame when he caved in and had every dead driver spinning in their graves.

    The apologising was the only thing he did wrong in it all. Like the Griezman thing a few days before.

    If serious, this rap album stands a better chance of de-railing his knighthood than tranny bashing, so he should have doubled down on it and hammered the kid some more.

    His tax status will kill the knighthood stone dead. Based on other sportsmen of this era he should have it already otherwise.

    He should start calling his tax affairs 'reparations'.
