If your survey results show that 40% of teenagers have viewed porn, all they demonstrate is that slightly less than 60% of teenagers lie about sex.

So, heating chat.

I've got central heating with the thermostat in the upstairs hall.

Is it better to heat the house with all the doors closed, open, or it won't make a bit of difference?

I figured with the doors closed, each room would individually heat up quicker and then the hall would be surrounded by warmth like an insulation, so it in turn would heat up quicker, not to mention the heat would stay built up in each room too.

I've noticed that if I open the living room door the heat built up "escapes" into the hall so figured closed doors are best.

Never try heating a room with the door open.

The best part of that is the Lib Dems being exactly one seat shy of making a coalition.

The most hosed part, of course, is that it's possible to lead an election by a double-digit margin and not win it.

I mean that, arguably, is the point? They have 41% of the vote which is not an absolute majority, a representative electoral system should give them a large minority. If anything, producing majorities with minorities of the vote share is one of the things people complain about FPTP doing too much.

Sorry, I forgot to specify Labour. An 11% lead for the Tories would give them an overwhelming landslide, which is my point - albeit poorly made.

How is a warm room a "bank"

A food bank is where you go to get food when you can't afford it. A warm bank is where you go to get warm when you can't afford it.

A bank is just a storage facility anyway, in this context. Same as those external batteries for your phone or laptop are power banks.

With a bit of luck she'll heat her home by burning it down, preferably while still inside. Like no one, and I mean no one, opens presents in a way where you can re-use the loving wrapping you poncey oval office.

This patronising Tory cow has never known a day's hardship and is displaying as much by telling people to spend more on electric ironing their paper than it would cost to buy new, but that doesn't mean that nobody has. When we were really poor we used to save the Christmas wrapping paper. I'm pretty sure my mum asked the family to wrap my presents in a way that I could easily open them without tearing it, as well.

Now, as we've reached the "let them eat cake" part of the cycle, how long is it going to be before the "popular uprising and massacre of all the rich cunts" part?

Worth noting that those figures add up to 64%, meaning the most popular option was "Don't know" or "None of the cunts".

Yeah, I think the error here is assuming that any politician who's run down their country to the point of it needing foodbanks is capable of feeling shame.

To be fair, it's possible for economic poo poo to happen that is beyond the control of politicians to prevent. This doesn't apply to the Tories, though; they have actively and intentionally caused the circumstances leading to the need for food banks.

Richard James was definitely recording his own music by 1989, because that's how he got discovered. It's the same situation as Leftfield - they were including their own music in DJ sets from the late 80s, it was just a few years before they put anything on tape.

Much as this thread likes to meme about Buck House hit squads, while Brenda probably shed no tears over Diana's death she was less of a contributing factor to it than Babylon 5. It was the paparazzi who hounded Diana and Dodi Fayed into that tunnel, and they did that because they knew the scummy rags would pay for the pictures. Of course Harry knows how awful the press are.
