For running, I wear Hoka One One and sometimes Karhu trainers. For the rest of the time I wear proper shoes.

£17.20 per month with water meter. Went down a lot when two teenagers left home.

Agree with this. Personally, I think the crucial point is to respect an individual as an individual, and to respect their right to believe whatever they want, however stupid I might find the belief. However, I don't think the requirement to respect an individual as a person, goes further than...

Here's one (a bishop no less): http://www.speroforum.com/a/23193/For-some-Anglicans-Vices-are-now-Virtues#.WNP0YtLyiig Quote "Ugandan Parliament, the watch dog of our laws, please go ahead and put the anti- Gay laws in place".

But he said a "single Christian", not a couple...

Don't disagree with any of that. All I was saying is that schemes like that, public sector funded schemes, were partly paid for out of taxation through employer contributions. You're clearly correct that some public sector employers (and many, many more private sector employers - Maxwell and...

I don't think all this private sector vs public sector stuff really gets to the heart of the issue. For me the key points are: 1) state pension is not, and never will be sufficient, on its own to provide a decent standard of living for most people in their old age. Greater longevity and pressure...

Your general point is correct, but I think it's a bit more complex than you suggest, isn't it? Firstly, in nearly every case a public sector pension will also be partly paid for by the contributions made by the public sector employer (in turn funded through taxation) - so partly taxation funded...

I think you're right, and he will get worse than he deserves, as this picture now seems to be all over social media. However, his idiocy and likely subsequent predicament aside, it is just so sadly emblematic of the superficial narcissism of a part of current society that anyone could possibly...

Fair enough. In that case, I misunderstood your post completely, and agree with you. Sorry about that.

Or indeed for the prize bellend whose main concern was to get a selfie

This. I despair sometimes.

I expect that's extremely unlikely. As with every other major terror attack, as and when real evidence emerges of who's responsible and what organisation (if any) they belong to, it's likely to be all over the media. The only reason people on NSC know about previous attacks in different parts of...

Some horrible pictures being circulated on twitter and other social media. Some people really have no respect.

When I was a student, I had a summer job at the Oxford Examinations Board, in Summertown, North Oxford (the long hot summer of 1976), marking multiple choice O level exam papers. The guy who managed the department I worked in was a terse disciplinarian sort of bloke with an unfriendly manner who...

It's not about respect (or lack of) for individuals' views. It's about expressing politically controversial views in your role as a visible employee of a particular organisation. Are these members of the Bloom family who expressed these views employees of the club, and if they are did they...

I'm inclined to agree with this. He's an employee of BHAFC and his twitter account identifies him as such with a picture of him in BHAFC strip. Some of my employees are on twitter, but if they are identifiable as such on their twitter account, they are obliged to state clearly on their twitter...

Apparently the Sussex uni kids had a banner targeting the kids from the Poly along the lines of "Your dad works for my dad". Incendiary stuff, eh..
