  • I was never one for pills, but I had a bit of a spell where speed was my thing.

    Still, not a patch on the thrills and euphoria that Our Lord Jesus Christ can dish up.

  • Well Tiswas, here is one for you, this "excellent" article is all about a new fad diet written by a sports scientist under a pseudonym, its called the OMG diet.

    #waitsforrageexplosion

  • To be fair the article mostly rubbishes the books claims.

  • http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/jun/11/why-our-food-is-making-us-fat

    An excellent article on sugar in our diet. There is an accompanying documentary on BBC2 on Thursday.

    Ah, good, more ammo to throw at my friend who thinks that doing absolutely no exercise and eating low-fat meals while still drinking fizzy drinks is the cleverest way to lose weight.

  • ones got to live a little bit

  • I don't take kindly to being told off for eating chips and beans in front of him.

    "Eeeerrr that's so unhealthy, it's a good thing you exercise"*

    scootble?

  • Gah

  • They deserve to go to the wall then.

    Not only is it overpriced and unreliable, but now they have accident-prone staff willing to exploit the ridiculous health and safety procedures in this country.

    Why should the government keep bailing it out? It's called "Royal Mail" ffs. The Queen should put her ancient, manicured hand in her tailor-made Hardy Amies pocket.

  • It's only for Doncaster, who honestly cares about what happens in Doncaster?

  • People in Pontefract?

  • oh my goodness

    postie needs shooting

  • I posted a largish paperback book back to Amazon last week which is the first thing I've posted for a couple of years I think and when it rang up £5.60 I said

    "I don't want Special Delivery the book was only £9"

    "That's first class sir"

  • Did you get any shares when you paid?

    The Telegraph reports. Abdi and Sayruq Nur, who fled war town Somalia, had been unhappy that their previous home also paid for by housing benefit was not convenient for shopping and meant their children had to get the bus to school.

    Now in a move certain to anger taxpayers, the couple and their seven children have relocated to a five bedroom town house in Notting Hill, where they can count artist Lucian Freud and designer Stella McCartney among their neighbours.

    The familys new home is thought to be one of the most expensive ever paid for by housing benefit and the revelation comes just a month after Ministers pledged to rein in Britains 20 billion a year housing benefit bill.

    Mr Nur, 42, an unemployed bus conductor, arrived in Britain with his wife, who is now 40, in 1999 from Somalia and they were granted asylum.

    The family were housed in a five bedroom property in the Kensal Rise area of Brent, at a cost to the taxpayer of 900 a week.

    However last month Mr Nur declared he was unhappy with the property because it was in a very poor area and was not convenient for schools and shops.

    He approached officials at the council informing them he had found a new home in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

    Under housing benefit rules anyone who is eligible can claim for a private property if it is suitable for their needs.

    The familys new home, which is in one of the most sought after areas of London, has five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen and a garden.

    It is close to the attractions of Portobello Market and local celebrities in the area include pop star Damon Albarn, artist Lucian Freud and Sir Paul McCartneys fashion designer daughter Stella.

    Mr Nur receives 2,000 per week from the council to cover the rent, which he then pays to the landlord, who is understood to be an associate of one of his friends.

    According to local property sources before the Nur family moved in the house was being advertised for 1,050 a week.

    The house is owned by a British Virgin Islands based company called Brophy Group Business Ltd, which bought it for 2.1 million in 2007.

  • Have they been sterilized?

  • nope, just pasturised

  • You can have have as many children as you want as long as YOU can afford them.

  • This appears to be void during recession.

    Would it help if he was White? just saying...

  • Two .charity bids in there as well

    I don't see that there's any difference? Whatever their origin, have as many children as you're prepared to pay for.

    My parents didn't have more children because they couldn't afford any more.

    If you can't afford ankle-biters, don't have them and expect to have them paid for by taxpayers.
