reds is hawt.
I've just realised Eurovision is going to be a bit awkward this year. I'm not sure Ukraine will be giving Russia the full 12 points this time.

Yes, but Switzerland is going to be even more popular than in previous years. The song contest is practically ours.

I would agree. I'd say Russia's prime objective in invading Ukraine is to ease Switzerlands path to a Eurovision victory. If only the UK had thought of that! If we had invaded America everyone would vote for us. I think we could do it too. We'd only be taking back what's rightfully our's just like those lovely Russians.

I think they let you have Piers Morgan back for free. No need for a nuclear attack.

Remember if an accountant cannot save you more than enough tax to pay his/her fees they ain't worth their mettle.
What would you think if faced with the following dilemma?
My (nearly) 15 year old daughter has been invited to go on holiday for a few days with her school friend in the UK. As a thank you my daughter wants to get her a One Direction ticket at Wembley in June but unfortunately the cheapest is £70 a pop. Neither the ex or myself are able to afford this at the moment and even if we could you have to factor in travel from Peterborough, food and spending money for merchandising etc. as well. We also couldn't let them travel alone so someone elses expenses for the day would need to be added and even then I don't like the idea of them being that long without an adult present.
She's come up with a plan whereby she sells something to pay for one ticket and then the ex and me share the cost of the other ticket. I can't really spare £35 either but it's doable. My dilemma is more about what she wants to sell.
She wants to sell her Kindle which I only got for her at Christmas. That makes me sad but I also have to accept that it's hers and that she didn't actually ask for it. It's also the ex's prospective bloke who is willing to pay for it but I'm not that bothered by that.
What are people's thoughts?

"Ouch!" That's what I was thinking. But she's a teenager...she doesn't think as we old folks do. On the other hand it's cool how she's willing to sacrifice something that hers just to say "thank you" for the holidays. That's quite mature.
What I couldn't forgive her is the fact that she seems to like One Direction.

It is and that aspect pleases me very much...even if it's me that ends up out of pocket.

Quite.
Why doesn't she give the Kindle to the friend as a thank you?
Solomon bitch!
Ben best shave and get that hell out of the way.
