Speaking of meaningless protests, anybody bother with the 'DON'T PAY YOUR BILLS ON THE 1ST!' bollocks?
I'm not fond of the idea of CCJ's and bailiffs turning up at my door. So no.
Presumably it died a death anyway when average usage was capped at £2,500.
And the government were just going to chuck money at it to chop bills down for six months.
Nothing like piling on the French to get a bit of patriotic support.
It's nailed on to be a long, cold winter isn't it? No chance we get out of it with one of those mild years.
Just been called a "jumped up posh cunt". Oi Floyd, what time is Cricket this Sunday?
What did you do and how rough was the person calling you posh?
I pointed out that McDonald's is not an essential outgoing and I believe that answers both questions.
The question it doesn't answer is how I aimed for the Job Thread and ended up in here. Don't put me on bowling duty, Jimmy.
Desperately trying to think of a joke for Jon's Threan but I'm going to have to settle for a posho probably being able to spell.
Don't fix your typo when I've mocked you for it, you coward.
Failing upwards like my hero Liz.
Plebs historically did the bowling, while gentlemen did the batting and then drank in a separate bar afterwards. Send a note up from the saloon bar if you need any more information from me.
Cricket isn't posh.
Not for aristocrats like you, no, but we can't all afford to join a sex trafficking club.
Sports ranked by poshness, poshest first
Polo
Showjumping/dressage
Rowing
Tennis
Motor racing
Golf
Cycling
Rugby union
Athletics
Cricket
Football
Rugby league
Snooker
Horse racing
Boxing
There's an argument for horse racing to be a lot higher, but its true heartlands are shrivelled old men with cigarettes in bookies.
Athletics needs to be divided further. Wide discrepancy among disciplines. On average, probably below cricket.
I put it in the middle as it's a bit of an unknown to me. I visited an athletics club earlier in the year (to try and do a deal to use their infield for cricket) and couldn't place them at all except that they were all quite weird and very earnest. Think it might be the sport of choice for noted social segment The Gays.
Not sure how things are over there. Over here, long distance running is all scrawny Vermont kids, while short distance running is all waves and big butts. Then you have the multi-sport categories, where the more sports you add, the posher it gets.
Yeah, that doesn't sound very gay at all.
Probably gatekeeping the upper middle class.
Yeah but that wouldn't work as a spectator sport as you'd need somebody to find vaguely supportable.
It's been a while folks, but I'm pleased to report an utterly stupid animal-based story has surfaced.

I'm sorry, who comes up with this stuff? Absolute nonsense of a country. Those alpacas never far from the scene of the crime either.A goat stole the show during a cathedral's animal blessing service by "singing" along to the organ music.
Two-year-old Pablo's "bah-rilliant" performance at Worcester Cathedral's annual event has made him a social media star.
His vocals led to fits of giggles by staff from Atwell Farm Park near Redditch and cathedral choir members.
"I think when he was bleating it was all echoing back at him. He was having a lovely time," farm staff said.
The video of Pablo and his alpaca friends Minstrel and Barnaby was shared by the cathedral on TikTok has since had 1.6m views and 240,000 likes.
The service was filmed by the BBC's Songs of Praise programme, but it is not clear whether Pablo's exploits will make the final edit.
He wasn't singing either. He was clearly distressed. Also, they don't bah. They do this:
It's the first thing that came to mind. Help.
Craig David has psychotic powers.
Not a typo and, yes, I am using yahoo news because the Evening Standard is behind a paywall.
I had an ex with psychotic powers. Would not Bo Select her again.
I mean, if he's hearing voices from his ancestors, he's probably psychotic.
That nurse surely cant expect to get off with killing those babies if the prosecution has evidence that she was the only floating around when they all died?
That story wouldn't be front page news prior to sentencing if they weren't 100% certain she's going down. They'd be too terrified of Libel to do that.
Is that only since they did it to Christopher Jeffries?
Serial killing babies will get her the fabled whole life term, won't it? Good to see one of those a year.
It all seems rather tenuous to me. From the article I read earlier, her being on duty while there were unexplained deaths seems to be the only evidence.
Wild theory: Randrew did it in his crusade against midwifery.
He always did like baby folding a bit too much.
As if they'd let midwives into NICU![]()
Do they even know the cause of deaths though? I know that the prosecution is accusing her of injecting air into their IV (or something along those lines), but is that even detectable?
I remember reading about a similar case a few years ago, and it was all conjecture and guesswork in terms of what they were doing.
She repeatedly searched for one of the babies parents on facebook which seems suspect.
I reckon there's more suspect stuff in your search history.
