I'm not sure something like a football club would keep me in a country, as much as I like the Albion I only get to about 5 matches a season now due to work and location and You'd have to be pretty sad to alter life plans because of a football team. We need more affordable housing.
Scaremongering. We need a bigger population.
I flew back from Newquay yesterday morning, green as far as the eye can see with a few cliusters of conurbations. Something like 79% of England is not built on. Now, I'm not suggesting we swallow up the countryside with modern housing so how about...
I don't really get with all these variations on the poppy. Big ones for your car, fabric ones, ceramic ones, ones like the above poorly thought out tat, oversized ones, teeny tiny tasteful ones, bejewelled ones, on and on.
No, I stick to the standard one made by the BL as they are understated...
It really is. And that's just a standard. For the same price I can go to the nearby Everyman Cinema and watch a film with a pot of tea and some cake in absolute luxury with no oiks or teenagers anywhere near.
We'd be better off setting a legal limit on the amount of sugar allowed in man made foodstuffs.
And add corn syrup and artificial sweeteners to that legislation
My rule of thumb is, if it has an advert, don't eat it.
I went out with a teacher for 9 years. Jimminy Cricket! Did she bring back some shite. I remember one year she arrived home with a skull that had fake crystal eyes and a dragon crawling out of it's mouth. But mostly it was chocolates and the odd bottle of grog.
It was, I had the lot. Blaster holster on the thigh, straps, boots, belt, neck thing, goggles. I was worried I was going to be boiling because the party was supposed to involve a screening of Empire. I thought "I'm gonna roast in this get up".
If I can source one of those creatures he rides...
I'm more a fan of Nov 5th. Boots and scarves, black peas in vinegar, jack frost nipping at your nose. Whizz bang, oohs and ahhhs then On to the local for an ale.
The last real effort I made was to go as Han Solo Hoth costume. I got all the components in form Amazon and by my own admission, it looked effing awesome. I prob spent about 60 quid on bits and bobs for it. The party was cancelled.
I agree it's a laugh but I can rarely be arsed to make that much effort. I can barely be arsed to throw a suit on for a wedding so I'm unlikely to spend 4 months crafting a zombie Optimus Prime costume.
I've noticed in the last few years the practise of adults going absolutely bonkers with fancy dress events for Halloween. In fact adults dressing up seems to have got massive of late with cosplay etc.
I don't mind a fancy dress party/pub night but people seem to go to extraordinary lengths to...
They will be there too but I think you underestimate the amount that kids are into Star Wars. I had no idea until I visited some friends with kids. They are massively into it. There this whole wider Star Wars universe they are into. It's huge.
I used to give when I lived in Brighton but stopped the last few years I was there and helped out in a shelter instead.
Where I am now there are no beggars. There's a chubby Romanian woman, middle aged and clearly hasn't missed many meals who flogs the Big Issue outside Waitrose, another family...
