Do I qualify for an OBE

F**k me, do-gooder spam (the worst kind).

To redress the BCG ying and yang balance I am now going to have to kick a Big Issue seller to death.

I vow to abuse someone's human rights today as a protest against Amnesty International's spam campaign.

Amy in EastEnders is so flipping cute.
Probably because she never speaks.

Sooty, not sure what the 'Saving Gvmt £25,000' comment was about? was it regarding Mr.Policeman? sorry me not understanding? :)

(Think you mean sooty.)

Rolling eyes Yes, adjusted!

No you both mean Sootyj.

But recent news about Big Issue seller gaining £25,000 in benefits and getting further housing benefits after winning (or whining court case).

If Will Cam murdered her it would save the exchequer 25 grand (though I suspect he'd have to kill her family as well).

Sootyj sometimes it depends what Neswpaper reports the story as crucial facts can be distorted.

It is my belief that 'Big Issue' sellers cannot claim unemployment benefit as it it considered as 'gainful' employment, although, with proof on earnings there may be a housing benefit component available.

Unemployment benefit is no more long ago replaced by JSA.

Besides it's tiny.

But you can rake in thousands in HB, tax credits, child benefit, incapacity, other tax credits etc etc.

Cos kids these days equal prizes (if you're unemployed)

One of those American shows where the parents appear to be have been about 7 years old when their children were born. Tunred it over half way through, there was a couple talking about what sounded like their break up.... at least until the girl called him Dad.

Jonathan Ross on ITV1 +1.

Haha

Now it's Gary Glitter

Ewww

I feel ill

Enjoyed 'Take me Out', which would seem to be the polar opposite of what I would normally like, but Paddy McGuinness is a great host. I laugh a lot more during this than during most proper comedies.

The Review Show with it's usual smattering of shites - though not all - I like Denise Mina.
