Christmas Tree

Balls the size of footballs those rescuers and paramedics who volunteered to be sent down into the crumbly mine.

Now had a chance to see it and while he did okay, his weird lispy voice and spock resemblance overide anything he might say. He is to Labour what William Hague was to the Tories. Even worse he looks like John Redwood. Add to this that Cameron will keep hitting back with "your lot left us with this mess" and its hard to see how he will get anywhere, at least until they come up with some sensible alternative policies other than wishing the financial mess away. Finally while he looked ok watching it live, watching the edited snippets that the news show and most people watch, he didnt come across half as well and even seemed a bit timid. Still, all his negatives put to one side, not a bad start, especially being your first go and even more especially bearing in mind that you wernt the first choice of all the poloticians standing behind you.

She's not the fittest one like, theres two way fitter than her. But aye she was the prettiest one left in the boardroom and should probably have gone. Tbh though when you strip away the PC aspect of it, human nature dictates that you're more likely to 'buy' something from someone you fancy/find appealing than someone you don't so it's probably not entirely out of synch with his basic business instincts. Sex sells in just about any industry, retail, media, law etc etc ad infinitum. Not fair I grant you but then life isnt fair. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, might just be because she reminds me of this mackem Andrea I used to work with, but imo she is by far the best looking, and a very good looking girl by any standards, quite obviously the only thing that saved her. I think she's bonny as owt, don't get me wrong, but she's pretty in the way that lots of young girls are pretty when theyre young. The other two are genuinely beautiful and will be for their entire lives. Laura will look completely ordinary when she's middle aged. And before anyone pipes up, I'm not claiming to be Paul Newman myself so yous can bag it. She reminds me of Linda Lusardi, however she definitely looks a lot worse with her mouth open. Like a scene from Tombstone.

You'd be the ideal candidate as you could drive yourself off after you get fired too.

Totally pissed off at the result tonight. Stevie summed it up with the following line... "Managed the project got NOT ONE PENNY in sales, admitted she couldn't manage the team and couldn't control them". I would also add that she was the one who turned down the boots exclusivity offer and she couldnt even make her mind up about who to bring in. Usually if someone hasnt "shone" (although she did say it was her idea to go go with the upmarket suasages that won last week), then they get a shot across their bows for forthcoming weeks. Laura was hapless and should have gone, will be gone very soon. I would love to go on the show. Absolute clueless business prospects the majority of them.

If Ive read that right id does fuck all for business's with a turnover of less than 10 million? Surely its the smaller firms that are crying out for the cash. TBH sick of hearing poloticians go on about this for the last 3 years. Surely there is something they can do to to get the cash flowing to the smaller business's. I suppose any step is good news ish, but suspicious all the same.

The recue misson may be dangerous, but at least they havent sent the Americans to get them.

I know its wishful thinking but you just wish the three parties could get together and iron out some of these biggie issues that everyone knows needs sorting out. Fucks sake it could all be done and dusted in a fortn ight if it wasnt for all the fucking carry on. Should do an x factor version of politics so we can just vote for the best policy. Like today, all three party leaders were briefed on the Lord Browne report, comissioned by labour, however whats the bet that rather than common sense and all parties agreeing on the "right" way forward, party polotics gets in the way. Libs fucking stupid for signing upto the NUS pr stunt but I guess you can do all those sort of things when you dont expect to be in power.

£45 at a local pc shop would have sorted your pain by now......and mine trying to get my head round your predicament.

When my iphone 02 contract ran out I simply transferred to 02 pay and go. £10 min top up fee to get the free texts and free internet. Internet works just as good as ever and Ive never gone past the free monthly 500mb. http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/Pay_and_Go

CT clearly just getting anything with Gemma Arterton in it. Had no idea it was the same girl until my daughter pointed it out half way through the film. Looks about 3 stone heavier in this than Prince of Persia.

Get Him to the Greek --- Russell Brand & Jonah Hill Spin off ish from Forgetting Sarah Marshal. Brand plays the same pop star character and if you liked that you'll like this. Lots of gross out and one liners to dull away a couple of hours 5.8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226229/

The disappearance of Alice Creed Drags a little but still very different, lots of twists and generally very good 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1379177/

I dont like Osbourne. He appears like a sneaky little man with no humility. Either this or he is just horrifically nervous in fron of camera. However when you hear the main journo's like Boulton, Robinson etc talk about what they see and hear behind the scenes, he is doing very well in the role. I also think Cameron has been very clever with a lot of the big appointments such as IDS sorting out Welfare and bringing in Hutton from Labour to continue his work on sorting out public sector pensions.

I dont think theres a great deal of work out there for people to do. Hasnt been for a lot of years although Im talking about the North East not down South. I had a look few various job sites recently and unless you are qualified in a particular field and have lots of experience you are left with working in a call centre selling electricity. Even the sort of jobs that you would normally turn your nose up at, security guard, needed the relevant NVQ??? in security. Its tough, its going to get tougher and I dont think there are any quick fixes out there.

Some truth in that but I was thinking yesterday how weak the Conservatives are in terms of front bench talent. Wtf is Baroness Warsi doing in govenment for instance, is she only there to tick boxes? I can barely remember a more incompetent performance than hers last night on Question Time. She wouldn't shut up yet hardly uttered a word of substance once. I don't think Labour need to do much at the moment but sit back and let the coalition throw itself against the rocks. I dont particularly like her as she always comes across as so bloody angry but I thought she recovered well on QT after initially taking a good kicking over child benefit. About 20 minutes in she started to fight back and was getting good loud applause, as well as making her case. Charles Clarke came across as pretty reasonable too virtually agreeing with a lot of what the coalition are doing. Shits going to hit the fan on QT in 2 weeks. Brave Tory that appears that night.

Honest as they come and totally commited to eradicating poverty in Britain. He set up the "Centre for social Justice" think tank in 2004 and his work on the issue has been commended by all parties. This is a man on a mission who has no real interest in the workings of governments etc but has (wisely by Cameron) being given the chance to put his last 6 years think tank work into policy. http://www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/d....asp?pageRef=44 The changes he is making to the welfare state are totally with the aim of dragging people out of poverty. Very decent bloke and also now a very "dangerous loose cannon". If anyone in the government start to piss him about he will up and go. Already won quite a few battles with Osbourne by all accounts.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11498607 Look and learn Osborne. Totally different set of problems to us and their economy has been in deflation for over 20 years. Also, we've already had stimulus billions thrown into the economy, you cant just keep doing it. Finally, a lot of commentators in the US reckon the 500+ billion stimulus they did made very little differnce.

Dont know if you use it but I swear by tripadvisor. Used all the time on my recent jaunt around Europe and all the reccomendations were first class whether they were hotels or restaurants. Everything is rated by the people using them. The page below shows 700 plus restaurants ranked in order of best to worst. You can narrow your selection by food type, price etc. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurants-g...h_Scotland.html

Bad Lieutenant Suppose whether you like this film depends on how much you like Nicholas Cage. I often find a lot of his acclaimed work slightly off track for me and this falls into that catergory. The blu ray cover screams 10/10......Funniest.....etc etc Lots of decent acting and an interesting tale but the style just spoils it for me. 5/10

The Box. Not really sure how to rate this one. It was a different and interesting tale however just seemed to lose its way towards the end. I guess I'll give it 6 / 10 Would you press the button?

And the answer to my question Monkey?

And do you think it was a step in the righ direction or it should have been left universal? BTW Tomorrows yougov poll claims 83% of the public agree with the child benefit change, 86% agree with the £500 benefit cap and the conservatives are at 43% in the polls. I dont disagree that it was launched poorly.

Since the economy went south three years ago and like a lot of jobs, there is sweet fa to be made taxi'ing.
