Gunshot wound presumably.

OK people, it's red pill/blue pill time. When your microwave finally breaks, don't replace it. You're welcome.

Modify the Eurostars and the driver carriage of the truck shuttle so they can sustain their own air system, similar to airliners. Add a similarly fitted people carriages to the non-truck vehicle carrying trains. Lay a pipe to the middle of the tunnel. Pump a constant stream of whatever the cheapest inert gas is on the market into it from our end. If the fuckers can survive a 20 minute journey in that environment hiding among boxes of cornflakes or clinging onto an axle or locked in someone's boot, then fair play to them, they can have a passport. Obviously my only interest in promoting this plan is a deeply held desire to protect my country from the scourge of illegal immigration. The fact I have just invested my life savings in the world's largest manufacturer of oxygen cylinders has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Taxi drivers vs. Uber drivers is so 2015. Let's just fast forward and debate whether you'd get into a driverless taxi or take your chances with a human driver?
-
The same way they always have. The concept of 'cheap' labour is only a negative if market forces alone aren't enough to bring the cost of living more into line with wages, due to the various artificial effects imposed by all the things being discussed in here, most notably the horrendously distorted rental market.

Turning this country into a place where the purpose of welfare is redefined as permanently subsiding people in work with a 10% wage boost because your other policies are failing to match wages with the cost of living is precisely where the whole system got fucked up. It's hard not to see this situation as being one that was deliberately created by New Labour to keep whole sections of the country permanently voting for them in the belief that to vote for the 'nasty party' would see them out on the streets. Old Labour would supposedly fix this by rebalancing the cost of living through massive interference in the economy, while traditional Tory values would supposedly rectify it through sheer market forces and by providing a true safety net welfare system. But neither are really an option for the electorate to choose between, because post Blair both parties have seen that the smoke and mirrors game of the middle ground where you take with one hand and give it back with the other, is a far more effective electoral strategy.

It's surprising to me that the club would openly admit that the media partner thing is solely about controlling the message. I mean, it's obvious that's what it's about, but this is the sort of obvious thing they've simply not even bothered to acknowledge before. But if this is the sort of openness they think the fans have in mind when talking about openness, then they're morons. Oh and yes, let's not dwell on the past eh.......fucking muppets.

This transfer more than any other shows the impact of the new Sky deal. While he may have been swayed a little by knowing Pardew and the club being in London, he would clearly have rather gone to a higher profile European club if they'd been willing to meet his wage demands, which must be quite high now he's had a taste of the top table with PSG.
-
It's calculated off the average wage, hence in certain circumstances you don't need to be even remotely finding it hard to feed, cloth or heat yourself or your family to be officially classed as poor in this country.
-
Has anyone ever calculated the interest the govt. earns on all the tax they keep while they're waiting to process and pay out all the various tax credits? (I'm assuming this is how the system works, I don't receive them so I don't know).
-
Shrewd political move by George, takes the last remaining wind out of the already pretty limp sails of the Labour leadership contest, and perhaps opens up an idenitifiable fault line between him and Boris. He's cut the legs from under Labour's nasty party message because most of the electorate don't know or don't care about the macro-economic arguments, and to the swing voter they most likely do look almost completely identical now, meaning they will get re-elected in 2020 simply by not screwing up, due to the incumbency effect. Anyone who was concerned about tax credit cuts before the election definitely won't have been voting Tory, so it's not like it was going to be a vote loser for them.

I'm guessing that was not the first time you've had that sort of terrifying experience at a Christmas party.....AMIRIGHT?

Confirmed obsessive. I may have once been a drunk driver, but you will always be the sort of cunt who just can't let it go that I made you look like a tit on an internet forum.
-
They were in the wrong of course, I'm a very good driver, when sober. They cut me up at around 80mph, avoiding my front bumper by millimeters. I just made the mistake of not taking into account the difference in weight and power of our respective vehicles, and rather lost out in the ensuing episode of Death Race.
-
Well, there was that guy who got murdered recently after doing the exact same thing you did. But as we all know, nobody ever died who had the good sense to take a couple of big guys with them.

Not really cheating per se, but too close to comfort. Due to drink I've been caught out in the snow or the moors in wildly inappropriate clothing (i.e T-shirt and jeans), and only avoided hypothermia through sheer luck. Also crashed while drunk, and been on the losing end of a pretty serious high speed road rage incident that could have ended up with me rolling over down a motorway embankment. Had at least one near drowning incident after canoing in the sea - capsized in just a few feet of water, which you woudn't think was dangerous until you realise how vulnerable you are to being knocked out from the sea bed. As it was I didn't go out cold, but in the daze I made a right pig's ear of the escape procedure. I also once pulled the trigger on a rifle thinking it was unloaded, when it actually had a live round in it and duly sent the bullet on its merry way. Obviously the rifle wasn't pointing anywhere dangerous as I'm not dead or in prison for murder, but it could well have been. There must be others too, esp. from childhood, that I've forgotten about in my old age.

"Inconsiderate child delays beer delivery"

Did he actually admit he stole it? Didn't he at least try to come up with some lame excuse, like he was going to hand it in to the police later?
-
But if he'd been motivated by politics, it would have been less cuntish? Fuck off man. Glad to see plenty of western tourists are staying there to stand in solidarity with the people of Tunisia, especially the hotel workers who tried to help people, and now find themselves unemployed. We might finally be seeing an epiphany where people finally realise that the major goal of these nutters is not to actually kill people, it's to get the rest of them to run away home so you can scare the shit out of everyone else over here by telling us how frightening it all was. Didn't stop some dumbfucks declaring that they were never going abroad again though, sadly.

That was hardly the reason for the controversy. She decided to use a personal email account for government business, and then acted like that was no big thing. Amazing that someone running to be the most powerful person in the world could be so dumb.

Steve McClaren sacked as Newcastle United 'Head Coach' (Manager)
Makom replied to Tooj's topic in Newcastle Forum
That last paragraph, fucking hell. This isn't X-Factor Schteve, I don't give a toss about the fucking journey. -
It's great that he lived this long really - he got to see all the children and grand chidren of all the kids he saved. Mental.
