Public spending is higher because of increased need for benefits because theres no growth. And before you say unemployment is down please wake up to the fact that all those shitty jobs created still cost because of tax credits and housing benefits needed because the jobs are so shitty.

Austerity has sucked all the demand out of the economy which is why businesses are struggling which means they have no money to expand which means less new jobs which means less demand. This doesnt mean I think everybody should get a new credit card btw I'm talking about every day stuff crushed by no pay rises and less income. To say it's having little effect is madness.

No. They have to say that because people like you have swallowed the lie and they can't win with the truth.

Like millions living past 70 because of that pesky nhs. Like subsidising the incomes of millions of workers because capitslism won't pay living wages. Like universal child benefit so people like you can buy coffee machines.

Which is why I despise the establishment in the uk and have a healthy contempt for most of the people who've done nothing to change it and instead worship the class that pisses on them. I'd love to see a revolution but people are humble sheep who spout shite about how they've had it too good and now deserve to be punished while the rich just laugh. I hope the seeds they've sown result in a violent response.

That 155bn figure is the crux for me - thats not even their wealth its the fucking increase in their wealth. Note that theres no trickle down involved because as ive said before its mpossible to spend any money when you're that rich - it just becomes a cock measurement on a bank statement.

And of course Osborne's repeated calls for more deregulation before and even after 2007.

McDermott sacked by Reading - SSN

I'm not sure about his "We're safe" statement. I think we probably are but even though we've improved drastically away from home since the signings (and lost two games despite that) the 5 away games don't look that easy and we could still easily lose 3 or even 4 of them. Of the home games I'm very wary of Liverpool and Arsenal and even though they're shite, you never count on a derby which leaves one "winnable" game left. As I said probably safe but paranoia suggests two wins (As I think only Reading look doomed atm) are needed which aren't that obvious.

Chicken Pox? I missed it as a kid and got in when I was 32 and it was horrible - one of the worst experiences of my life.

You can get the ads removed for a tenner - they did it for me for nowt as I got mine as soon as they came out and they introduced the removal service later.

Don't know whether this is a pun or an example of the thing itself which is a sub-genre of punnery but my fave is : "She asked me for a double entendre so I gave her one".

Not bad for nine men.

So has anyone used or uses a bidet? Seems like a fuck on moving from one seat to another and I'm not sure about the water jet either but can see the idea. What about those Japanese ones where the tube comes out and sprays?

I can reach it in my arms being long enough sense but there is no access without lifting it from the seat ie standing. I think you don't get that "standing" means maintaining a squat only with the body supported by the legs instead of the seat which also means the cheeks stay spread.

Conversely I now picture sitters as having chimp/orang type arms to reach that far or perhaps prehensile monkeys tails.

I actually think its quite good when these americans who keep ridiculous pets get mauled. Obviously in this case its a worker which makes it s pisser but if it hastens the end of "private zoos" then some good will have come from it.

Had ago a little while ago and its physically impossible for me to reach my arsehole sitting down. I honesty can't see how you do it.

I still can't get how you access your arse while on the seat. The only way to do so it to partially stand.

How dare a referee send a Man U player off! I always expect shit decisions like that when we play in Europe.

I said last year that Cisse reminded me a bit of Coley in the sense of being all instinct and the comparison also extends to spells where he misses a few too many. Overall I agree with Tooj - although we obviously need other string options as well.

When we played Sheff Utd in 94 I was travelling back on the train and standing in the corridor in the door space as there were no seats and I fainted (makes me sound like a character in a Austen novel) and came round after a minute or so - one of my mates had put me into the recovery system and I was fine. At the time I was on a full on diet and was losing quite a lot of weight probably too quickly and that day all I'd had was some cereal for breakfast and half a dozen pints. Obviously there was none of the breathing issues which sounds like the scariest thing to me but I hope that's an example of these things being one-offs as Cath said - I've had no other episodes since.

I'm glad your lass is okay but it would drive me mental not knowing the cause - do they intend to find out?

Manager inspired - good player but a cheat.

Had a vivid one last night we're we were playing QPR in the cup which was on TV with a a kick-off at 13:07 and I was going to the game but was in a bar in Shields when the kick-off time was realised but some kind of quantum Scf-fi trick transported me and my mate to a bar somewhere near Barrack Rd. Found that we were drinking with Alan Davies (QI not 80s welsh coward). As we left to go the game, the "camera" I was viewing the dream through then panned out and Davies was in a cell in a lunatic asylum which had bars made of wood which were acting like ghashing teeh like something out of Hellraiser but he escaped and him and the other inmates started launching things that looked like fenceposts like javelins at the crowd that was making its way to the match but there wws an idea floating that if anyone was hit they weren't killed but just "sent back to square one" like in a video game. I seemed to be the only one seeing the missiles but as I told people they started to avoid them by looking in the direction they were coming from and ducking etc. Then I felt myself being hit but it came from the opposite direction (which I think meant something) and I woke up with a jerk/start (square one?). Pick the bones out that fucker psychologists.
