I remember an amazing cheese flavour popcorn that existed for a fleeting moment of my childhood.

I ate bags and bags of the stuff and now whenever I mention it everyone thinks I'm mental.

111 is fine as a supplementary service but it's not being used properly.

It's good as a "hey when I slam my dick in the door while jerking off it stops feeling much after then tenth go and a little bit of blood comes out IS IT CANCER?!>" screening service.

Like I said it's not a replacement heath service, but it's good to have a line you can call and ask your stupid questions to, provided that they know to say "dunno, see a doctor" when appropriate.

There was something like that available when I was a kid so it's not a new idea.

This is one of the big things that gets me really - so much of Tory policy (and its knock-on effects) involves passing the buck, and it's almost never mentioned. Their flagship 'free childcare' policy is pretty much issuing a decree to childcare providers, "you're going to make this happen, out of your own pocket, work something out". Cuts are called 'efficiency savings' but they're never backed by a set of identified efficiencies, just "you're getting less funding, deal with it". Devolving powers and funding is just going to mean central government absolving itself of yet more responsibility and leave local government to work out which limb to cut off.

It would be one thing if they were getting held to account for this, but it seems like they can shift all the responsibility onto someone else and avoid the blame when the consequences are bad. And that means they can pretty much do anything

Wasn't that more because the techniques used for cremating infants meant that there were no ashes that could be recovered in the first place?

I'm fairly sure that when crematoria first started becoming a thing it was common to received mixed ashes anyway, so they could have just done that.

why is there a boat in Worcester

Also good news, the Tory woman in my office has renounced her deep admiration (and lust ) for George Osborne over tax credits, that takes some doing. So the political fallout has definitely reached the Cotswolds!

I've got a bundle of papers here proposing to establish an "Agricultural Training Home" for the unemployed of London which the founders expect will "provide […] the means of testing the genuineness of the desire for work of the Unemployed". They are deliberately choosing to buy bad, unproductive land because the actual agricultural output of the establishment is not a concern at all, and they definitely don't want to impact on the good, profitable farms already in the area. They just want to drag 200 unemployed people out of london to live in barracks, work them 12 hours a day and pay them 7 shillings (£35/week in modern money) to prove their willingness to work.

Has anybody got Iain Duncan Smith's phone number?

We need more spies to stop terrorists from killing people even if that means that a greater number of people die from hospital shortages because the deficit must be brought down at all costs.

All the good intentions and policies regarding school lunches are not really going to make a difference without getting through to the parents. My kids school has a really good lunches program that uses locally produced stuff where possible, still doesn't stop me seeing 5 year old kids on the school run having a breakfast of coke and a mars bar forced into them before the gates.


I did it. But rather than sweets it was discs full of the best porn the late 90's internet had to offer, then duty free cigarettes when that ring got busted (snitches deserve stitches)
