this is a disgrace isn't it, the school down the road lets you buy a badge that you can sow on a blaiser, my daughters school makes you buy a new blaiser at twice the price

I worked briefly for a newspaper and yes, it was for that reason otherwise it's classified as a game of chance and different rules apply.
The reason behind three inane questions is simply to have the thing classed as being 'Skill' based as opposed to it being classed as a game of 'Chance' as games of 'Chance' incur taxation.
From the BCG Newsletter -
The Work Experience - Some shit hidden camera show, where poor unemployed people are used as free labour, yet again.
'None of our interns were harmed during the making of this programme, but a few did incur mental scarring from the shock of finding out that the place where they did their internship, the other people working there, the website, telephone conversations and even our names and email addresses were all made up.'
Well that's a fair exchange then, no money, no real work experience, no future job prospects, but at least they helped a bunch of unimaginative middle class television wankers earn loads of cash.
Hanging's not good enough.

I quite like that, the idea my life may be an unfunny BBC3 show gives me hope,
What was that show on bbc2 a few years ago ?
It was the reverse premise
A new employee played by an actor turned up for work and acted like a prick all day whilst the unsuspecting employers watched in disbelief
It was quite funny in places
Apparently the 2 stooges get a job so that's ok

Go to 9:11. The guy is working in a shop that sells car parts 
That's it
Could have been fantastic in the right hands that
Bloody fireworks have started, what is wrong with these simple minded arseholes, they should all be shipped to an island where they could watch the big bang in the sky without making my pissing life a misery. Dogs are having a nervous breakdown and the cats hiding in the laundry basket. I'll give them bloody fireworks...
Jimmy Savile - inventor of the firework
Nuff said ...
I'd also like to set fire to those shops that appear just selling fireworks.
Fireworks should be illegal. There is NO reason to have them in your garden. Public event displays do the job just fine.
Paused at a small shopping centre and there were some arseholes setting off rockets by laying them down and lighting them.
A total ban would never work. Not in urban areas with an Eastern/Asian community unless there were stringent customs checks.
But as they can't intercept heroin, a Roman candle would easily slip through !
Anybody noticed the increasing use of the word 'offer'?
"Argos stores and catalogues will remain important, but their roles will be adapted in order to support a digital offer."
Stop it! Or, going forward, I will, right now, incentivise my anger offer !
