My parents always used to have to provide pens, pencils, calculators and what not. We would get the text books and notebooks to write in at no cost. We also got free stationary from the technology class as it was often posh paper, coloured card and more expensive type stuff. I used to rob it...

I saw the Killers at the NEC on Tuesday night. It turns out the guitarist and bassist are not doing the tour so that's half the line up who couldn't be bothered to show. Not having been to a gig at the NEC before I don't know what the sound is usually like in there (I was sat towards the other...

Jack Daniels fireball and the honey varieties for me. I do have a bottle of absinthe somewhere but last time I had that I blinked and 2 hours went by so that stays in the cupboard.

Lights off, tv on upstairs, sorted. I don't know any young families near me so anyone knocking on my door is a scrounger in my book.

Halloween. Since when did it become a thing? Constant adverts on the TV trying to flog tat.

My favourite ever album is the Holy Bible, but Everything Must Go isn't too far behind. 2 totally different sounding albums but both absolutely fantastic. Gold Against The Soul could have been up there too but was massively over produced and sounded far too clean and sterile.

Well, yeah there's going to be a lot of people who have been complicit in this. Whoever allowed such a clause to be added to a contract for example. Surely that would have set alarm bells ringing.

I've got a brother in law, he must be at least 30 stone. He doesn't want to work and spends his days sat in front of the TV eating. I dread to think of the amount of money thr NHS has spent trying to help him when he has no intention of stopping. I've also got another two brother in laws who...

Is it too early to say Xmas? I'm fed up to the back teeth of hearing the adult members of my wife's family waffling on about their sodding xmas lists. As for the younger members, one of them has a handwriten 15 page list of things they want totalling well over £500. The youngest only has half a...

Unnecessary roadworks. I work in Shrewsbury so I don't know if any of you know where the old football ground is. It's a real pinch point gyratory system that is badly hemmed in by buildings and the railway so the powers that be have decided the following: Extend the footpath that outside the...

I'm watching on S4C. I think I studied Welsh in junior and high school for 5 years or so and I still have no idea what the commentators are saying.

I think from police quotes and the fact the property has been dug up they know full well who did it, it's just a case of finding out when and why and 16 years is a long time to dispose of evidence so I don't envy their job. You would have thought 16 years would have been enough time to come up...

I read this on the BBC yesterday. The police will struggle to find evidence after all this time. It's sad that someone can go missing for 16 years and nobody notices.

Sounds like it's a good thing my live stream has been blocked by the public wifi I was going to be using this afternoon!!

What worries me most is these players shouldn't need someone screaming on the touchline telling them to pull their fingers out. Surely they should be capable of realising themselves that they need to up the pace. Southgate most definitely is not the answer but the players need to put the...

I want the 45 minutes of my life back that England have just stolen. That was shocking

As it's pretty much the only example her kids see (as the rest of the family are all benefits cheats and treat working as some horrible disease to avoid at all costs) it's very likely her kids will end up the same. It makes me so sad.

My Niece did exactly that. She had worked for a few months after flunking out of school but decided that wasn't for her so got pregnant. She also wanted a nice house of her own which she was duely given when the kid was born. As her kid was approaching school age she was told to get herself back...
