Are you still joining the cult of the invisible children then?

You must've done well at the London riots too?

You'd get on with my mate, he raves about Easygroove :-D

By the way, the dirty bear wants to know how old Jaymi and Taelaw are.

Oh this has got to go in golden threads! Surely!

Hasn't Guly mentioned he found it quite hard to integrate into the culture at SFC?

Lolage. :-)

So long it's not a headliner there's no reason you can't get intimate and really feel it with the fans at the front.

Leave it Turkish

That's fair enough, I've never lived in social housing but the issue only came up cos my colleague was banging on about selling his as soon as possible and moving to a bigger place. Maybe that's just our generation.

And thanks for that.

I thought you'd be dead against handouts, surely its best to knuckle down and work your way out of poverty? Council house rent is subsidised already so if you are both working you can save up over a few years.

So rather than saving money it costs the government more anyway, hence the cap on housing benefit being introduced now.

Cameron says it will make more people take more pride in their area, but people will just sell up and move out of the area ASAP.

It's not my fault, I was stung by a jellyfish and it hurts all the time!

Its more ideological Thatcher b*llox, the tories want everything to be private (cos that will look after genuinely vulnerable people so well, honest).

He reckons the banks will accept the governments guarantee of a discount as a deposit and arrange a mortgage on the outsanding balance, meaning he will only need a few grand saved up for fees etc.

Definitely, just hope Kelv doesnt have a similar season to his last time up there ;-)

I bought a can of Black Sheep Ale last weekend at Bitterne triangle offy. Started pouring only to find cider inside! That's never happened before with any drink. I contacted the brewery and they are concerned enough to request I post the can ASAP, not least because they normally only retail at Tesco. I drank the cider anyway! No ill effects so far.

Bloke at work was crowing today about how he was going to buy his 2 bed council house and sell it on in 5 years time and make £75K free. Apparently the tories are offering a 35% or more discount (up to £75K) on the "rebooted" right to buy scheme. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/mar/12/council-tenants-discount-right-buy http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/4186170/75k-discount-if-you-buy-your-council-house.html This seems a bit unfair to me, partly as many people are working/have worked their ar*es off trying to save up a decent deposit whilst paying private landlords excessive rents. Why should government funds be spent on trying to boost up house prices again when it would be better spent on affordable social housing cooperatives etc or regulating excessive private rents? They say they will build more houses from the revenue raised from sales. Yeah right. Thoughts?

Boob gifs?

I'll buy it off you
