Trustees or Trustees’

I’d definitely go with the apostrophe…

No, you’d argue it wasn’t fit for purpose

Yes, it’s not fit for purpose under controls established to protect the consumer from illicit traders. Similarly, controls should exist over what cigarette manufacturers can put in ciggies. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge advocate of personal responsibility, but I’m also a huge advocate of us being able to make choices in full knowledge, not in a cloud of pressure and misinformation from unscrupulous sellers.
Going back to the earlier posts, pubs sell trebles cheaper than singles to get people drunk, because drunk people spend more than relatively sober ones. If that’s not the case, and a treble is £2, why won’t they sell me a single for 66p??

Nicotine occours naturaly, it’s not an additive

Might be big news to you, but there’s a lot more in a fag than nicotine.

No-one forces me to go MTBing, I’m to blame if I injure myself on some giant drop, not my fork manufacturer who told me they’re ace and can handle a 6ft drop. Even though adrenalin is an addictive naturally occuring substance targetted by the market forces that be Marzocchi and On-One.

What an inane analogy. What if they could sell you a bike that was patently, or latently, dangerous to ride. You’d sharp complain then if you were injured.

I don’t know about what’s done behind the scenes in production etc, and I don’t agree to marketting to chiddlers (as with alcohol), but outside that I have no issues with them either

So they put chemicals in cigarettes to make them more addictive. When the educated western markets dry up, they exploit the lack of health education in the east. Just let them get on with it all, eh, and blame the consumer? God help us if we lived in a society where no provider had to take responsibility for the goods they sell or the people to whom they sell.

Pusher? Dear God! Really?

That was analogy, not melodrama.

Twaddle. People need to learn a bit of self control and responsibility, though your comments are proof it’s pretty lacking and the expectations of it are lacking also

Yes, it’s patently lacking and that’s why everyone concerned needs to take a look at how they’re behaving. I take it you think cigarette manufacturers behave perfectly ethically? Wise up.

Or Colt 45, if you fancy getting well wrecked!

That’s it, I’m off to get four cans of Harp and sit in the park…

Can’t post links very well, but null

Not inherently great, but the nostalgia…

Were you at the same parties as me?

It’s fine to drink if you’re thirsty after eating some dust from underneath the fridge.

Brilliant song…takes me back to the house parties of my teens.

I also recently heard “Skin Deep” by the Stranglers for the first time in decades. Nearly made me cry…

It’s not the sellers fault, it’s personal responsibility

Disagree entirely – when pubs sell trebles cheaper than singles, it’s hardly encouraging sensible drinking is it? Pusher and user both have some responsibility.

How about encouragement from the people that flog the stuff, corporately and locally?
And that sadly pervasive attitude that “I can do what I like…”

Does Tevez remind anyone else of the Feral Kid from Mad Max 2..?

whats stout got to do wiv apostrofees?

You, surely

You, surely?

afternoon’s

you could have left that one out to give us pedants some sport…

As a Man Utd fan I’m shocked, insulted and wounded by that picture. That’s quite unbelievable

Good job you’re probably from London or somewhere then; seeing it first hand might have made you cry 😀

He’s in early because he’s a sign writer with an apostrophe problem to solve before he gets his paintbrush out..

Either…although I think “at” work is better English…

I don’t think so, but I hate formality. And being only half-English I have a name which could be either male or female and I hate being addressed, as a guess, as Ms.!

I’d use the first name and sign off “yours sincerely”. Then worry about when you attend the interview and they have breasts AND a moustache…

Dear [insert first name]…

Yeah, maybe all the junky Heatraes etc. of this world bring the average mean time to first failure down. I think the OP should be reassured that Worcester is the way to go!

Shouldn’t the law allow us (cyclists) to turn left, or go straight ahead where there is no left turn, against red lights where it’s safe to do so? I reckon so…

Mechanical engineers I work with seem to think Worcester and Baxi are the ones to go for. Combis do seem to have a reputation for abysmal life spans though – seven years average before major repair or replacement rings a bell.

Facebook is what YOU make of it.

As you might have guessed, I’m a cynical misanthrope so I’m not even on it!

Is everyone here on Facebook? I must be missing something, but I’m not that interested in knowing that someone I didn’t like thirty years ago at school has just put the kettle on.

Lodders might have set the bar a little too high on the hate stakes

Yeah, I’ve seen his comments elsewhere. I probably feel innately similar, but I hate the word “scum” when applied generically. Except on match days… 😀

Don’t understand why footbal so partisan/them and us

You’re kidding? Partisanship is the only honest thing about footy these days. I love hating Man Utd. as I’m sure they love hating Liverpool. Although I’m worried about my sneaking admiration for the fans and philosophy of FC United…

No plaudits for Liverpool in bucking the “big spend buys success” philosophy? We spent a fortune and did rubbish. Bloody crossbar.

The only problem it might not solve is, “Jim, can you fix it for me to be a ****”

“Flying
And you know I’m not coming down
You’re trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud

What d’you say
When your heart’s in pieces
How to play
Those cards in sequence
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely

Flying down
Flying down

All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud

Hey I’m flowing
Hey I’m flowing
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
Hey I’ve flown away
Hey I’ve flown away
All my colours”

Anyone else know it/love it…?

You realise that around 68 percent of couples with children have both parents working these days? That’s a pretty large majority that you disapprove of.
It must be nice to have the choice though.

Having to work and wanting to work are two different things. There are too many kids being born today who seem to be accessories to people’s lives and come second place to their parents’ career ambitions. You know the ones, palmed off on grandparents every day. I reckon most kids would prefer a hug from mum or dad when they need it to a five bedroom house with two ensuites. That’s not to belittle the strife of people who genuinely have to work, but that isn’t the case in a big chunk of that 68 percent.

Why do people offer an opinion in a forum, then feel “bullied” because other people dispute that opinion?

Anyone, with kids or not, might understand. We were all kids once, and most of us probably wanted to be looked after by our mum and dad. I don’t know the OP’s circumstances, but if they need a nanny because they both have “careers”, then my sympathy is in short supply.

Whatever the BNP have to say that is good, is utterly overshadowed by their fundamental, vicious racist standpoint. You can’t justify the actions of a rapist because he loves his mum.

Are you a country or a person ?

If he/she follows the fatally flawed economical theory which made this financial collapse inevitable, it matters not…
