Spotty white boys trying to sound Jamaican?? Morons.

Working for an American company and with a lot of American people, I keep trying to resist picking up their stupid sayings and wrong spellings. Someone had the cheek to tell me I had the wrong spelling for "favourite" (as is this web-browser, bloody Chrome), I told them to f'off. Zee Reach out to Loop in Math and other general nastiness. Still, they all now know what the words mush and cacker are and I've just recruited someone else in here from this forum, so that's two of us.

In normal houses, with normal jobs, paying normal taxes, like normal people. F*ck it, I'm going to live in a motor home, do dodgy driveways/tree felling and not pay tax. Oh and steal the occasional garden ornament that I spot whilst out trying to flog my dodgy services.

Bugger all to do with the match, but ... I was seeing someone from work a couple of years ago who lived between Erdington and Sutton Coldfield - surprised me as it was actually quite nice round there!! So easy to get to the centre of Brum as well. Shame she was a nutter.

Travellers in Hedge End? Wouldn't notice the difference would you from the norm?

Ooooh Ballotelli, he's a striker, he's good at darts ... I thought it was funny!

If you are fairly sedentary (i.e. sit at a desk all day!), any carb-based foods (pasta, potatoes, bread etc) will just be wasted energy food that turns to fat. Same with too much protein - if you don't burn it off, it just "turns" to fat. A good meal is all about balance, I can't remember the formula exactly but it is about 40% carbs is a good balance for a healthy meal. We do eat too much pasta - go to Italy, you'll see the plate loaded with lush, fresh food with less pasta than we'd have. A lot of people also have toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, then pasta for tea ... no wonder this nation is growing outwards. Porridge for breakfast (slow burning energy), salad with a small amount of chicken for lunch and a decent, balanced evening meal consumed before 8pm ideally. Coupled with some exercise and cutting down on booze, you'll be in shape in no time - it isn't rocket science! (Oh, and no refined foods, pizzas, deep fried freezer crap etc.)

Most English girls, of low intellect, aspire to be Katie Price.

Totally agree. Having just come back from a week in Seattle working, even the girls/women over there are so much better presented and turned out than the chavs over here. Polite, well dressed, better manners, no swearing and in fact generally, better looking.

Would totally agree with that. I don't remember a time in my lifetime that every was so "expensive" in comparison to income. I guess the closest would be in the late 80s when interest rates were really high and my parents had to make huge cut-backs? I pop in our local shop most days to get provisions; bread, milk, fruit juice, maybe some chicken etc., at least £25 each time ... madness.

Diddums. http://www.birminghampost.net/news/west-midlands-news/2011/01/12/birmingham-binmen-earn-up-to-45-000-a-year-with-overtime-deals-65233-27970469/

You come across as someone who is 60+ I'm 34

Misguided disdain. Anyway, in the "private sector", most of us had pay cuts and T&Cs re-negotiated. I had 2 pay cuts and no pay rise in 4 years. So, what did I do eventually, I GOT ANOTHER JOB. With better terms, a better package overall, a 40% pay rise and a better pension. There are always people to replace those that don't want to agree to the new terms or accept a pay decrease for the good of the company and to KEEP A JOB. So no, people in the "Private sector" accepted it, realised we were lucky to be employed and got on with it. Those that didn't accept it were let go and replaced by someone more grateful. Those who didn't want to take a 3rd pay cut got another job. The "problem" isn't the private sector's fault either. We all have to chip in and help fix this country and if that means taking pay cuts and staying in a job to avoid claiming benefits, then that's the way it is.

Except Owen of course

lol

You should have her more under control then!

My wife's school, has 30-odd teachers in it, ONE is striking - an old one, far removed from what everyone else in the private sector has endured the last few years. All the other teachers are partnered to professional people mostly "in IT", so they understand what everyone else has endured and aren't striking.

Michael Owen ... hahaha

I hate Coldplay and have always hated them. My other half had them on the TV when I walked in the lounge so I sent her upstairs to watch - awful band, rubbish music and the lead singer is an absolute bellend. As for U2, 2 maybe 3 good songs, but a bunch of bellends as well.

Totally agree.

I'm waiting for one of the many forum dullards on here to post about how wrong it is ... comon, where are you?

That is fantastic!! Great start to my morning!

And? Agents are leaches. If it means we're paying less then, good.
