Heaven knows I'm miserable now

Just seen this :lol:

Indeed And she's probably done the nation's youth a favour in forfeiting that career path.

Funny anyway but even better if the pun was intentional

I know but still. Like Gemmill mentioned previously she might as well give up training to be a teacher now. You probably get about a grand max for selling your story to the likes of Take a Break (or Take a Dump, as my mate calls it).

The arse or the porno? Genuinely confused here -
He'll be sending her round to punch you if you're not careful.

I'm not a prude (although I probably am given my age, etc.) but why on earth would you want to make something like that public?

I meant her arse rather than the home made porn movie (which I assume you're referring to - didn't know about it). All I know about her is she's a reality TV star, married to Kanye West and has a very nice hint-end. -
Those photos man. What a bint.

I've checked it out several times. -

The problem I have with all this surveillance is how it can potentially be used. There's a sort of drip, drip effect whereby stuff that was introduced for one reason ends up being used for something else entirely. There was a story some time ago about legislation that allowed surveillance that was intended as an anti-terror measurement being used for things far more trivial by local councils. Forgive me but I can't remember the exact details. Then you have things like speed cameras. Initially they were only to be used in places where it was all but impossible for a police officer to check the speeds of cars. Now, in many cases, they're basically a money making racket. You used to only normally get done for doing 10% over the speed limit +1 but now any breaking of the limit (by one mile per hour) can lead to something like a £100 fine. Seems a bit harsh. I do know someone who got done for doing 32 in 30 zone. Seems a bit disproportionate to get 3 pts on your licence and a fairly hefty fine for that. Anyway, I'm probably getting away from the point I was trying to make is that, if something like this is unchecked, then it could potentially be used to impose future laws which are draconian. I know it sounds a bit V for Vendetta but I do have genuine concerns. I wonder how high the terror threat really is. Is the impingement of civil liberties proportionate to that threat? I don't really know but the general unquestioning acceptance that it is troubles me. It mirrors a wider acceptance of the 'facts' as presented to us by (for want of a better word) the establishment. -
Didn't watch it but, for once, remembered to record the whole series. Looking forward to it.

This reminds me of that bloke who was denied entry into the US after putting on FaceBook or Twitter or whatever that he was going to destroy America. -
Well, it's what they voted for

I was on the Moon last week and went to one of those Space Bars. The beer was canny but the place had no atmosphere.

Your patter fucking stinks. The grammar's a side issue.

I'm deeply shocked at CT's take on this. I would imagine the same goes for everyone else.
