    Jesus f'ing Christ, I just put Fade Street on, out of curiosity. Bloody hell, this is what our TV license pays for...

    Sometimes I wish we were still under the British yoke. Between 80 years of religious subservience, and 10 of not being able to add up, we've hardly been poster boys for independence. At least they have a Royal wedding to divert their front pages from gloom.

    The Independent (British one) had a front page picture of a ghost estate in Ireland in black and white, looked like something out of the famine.
    Just watching primetime, Pat Rabbite has just lashed Pat Carey - great stuff.

    Brian or Inda or whoever blag's an invite to Will's bash, and gives him five or six banks as a present. You can't refuse a wedding gift. Problem solved

    By the time the wedding comes round, it's probably going to be Olli (assuming he isn't running the country already, of course)

    Someone from India sent me this today with a greeting to enjoy Stir up Sunday, first time I heard of it tbh:

    Stir-up Sunday is a traditional day for everyone in the family to take a turn at stirring the Christmas Pudding, whilst making a wish. It begins 4 Sundays before Christmas.
    On this day, families return from Church to give the Christmas Pudding its traditional lucky stir. The pudding mixture is always stirred from East to West to honour the three Wise Men who visited the baby Jesus. Each family member makes a secret wish while stirring.
    The Christmas Pudding is traditionally made with 13 ingredients to represent Christ and His Disciples. A coin was added to the ingredients and cooked in the pudding. It was supposedly to bring wealth to whoever found it on their plate on Christmas Day. The Pudding is made a month before Christmas Day so that the flavours have plenty of time to develop by then.

    I knew there was a less American term for it. I used Black Friday(they start their shopping and preperations for christmas or some crap like that) but I made everyone get up from in front of the tv and stir my pudding mixture while making a wish all the same. :pac:

    Hey, don't waste all that effort, go for a retake. It's too good a qualification to give up at the last hurdle. Do you know where you fell down so you can focus on those areas? It's many years ago now but I retook my Final II, thought I'd done even worse than first time, and passed. You can study in Oz surely?

    6fig salary guy in nice suit: Buddy I'm afraid we will have to cut social welfare and minimum wage, I'll leave it to you to tell your community cause I'm... eh out of office next week
    Min wage guy: But Sir I can barely afford my mortgage as is...
    6fig salary guy in nice suit: Ah don't worry about that, when we give up paying the higher interest debt we took out to pay this debt, we will repossess your home with your own taxes. One less thing for you to worry about eh!
    Min wage guy: I guess...??

    Meanwhile Vincent Brown (whatever you think about him) fires 4 straight questions at Shrek, who dodges each with the grace of a hippo with a hernia. Not only that, but spat out the ole 'decisions I have undertaken for the benefit of this country spiel' as the room glared at him.

    Take a bow Shrek, now return to the swamp punk :mad:

    What's happening at Chelsea? Very poor run of form.

    Why not cut off welfare completely for scobies in the sink estates who reach the age of 30 having never worked?
    Let them take the minimum wage as not the harder option, but the only option.

    How much would that save the country?

    This place is a welfare state, knackers in finglas and ballyer with their sky dishes and 5kids by 30 with money to do whatever they want, while the decent joe soaps who scrape by cannot afford to send their childen to college............

    no point turning on each other, I think you'd be better off directing that anger towards goverment buildings.

    Wish I could but my employers don't pay me when I'm not here.
    It won't be long now though until the riots start, if there isn't at least one day of major public unrest we'll be a laughing stock.

    looking for some help from the more techie people. As we're coming to the end of the year and the start of 2011 there will be a few tables coming to ART. I've had a couple of pm's asking for instructions for tables. Could someone post the instructions for inserting a table (the tags, delimitered etc) and I'll add them to one of the stickies so that we have a reference. Thanks.
