z list celebs that have to go in magazines to say sorry to their partner....putting magazines out this morning i saw alex reid begging forgivness from his other half for sending tweets to another girl...who give a censored??
5 mins later and im putting newspapers out with the faces of the 6 soldiers being flown home in caskets from afghanistan...it doesnt even compare to alex reids eventful meanderings.

newspaper headings claiming to get resdy for 100 days of blazing summer...they cant get tomorrows weather right nevermind 3 months worth.

Scare mongering stories that contradict a few months/years later, apparently aspirin cures cancer...im sure a few months back i read it could cause cancer. repeat with red meat/alcohol/chocolate etc etc.

When you miss a program on a channel that doesnt repeat it later or have a +1 channel yet theyll repeat programs you dont want to watch....i saw half of a program on bbc4 before xmas, do you think its been on since...nope.. yet if i see top of the pops1976 again ill go mad...the program was to do with the eventual closing of JT Morgans store in Swansea, what i saw was really good.

Yes, sick of seeing headlines like "The truth about....." and then a picture of Peter Andre, Alex Reid, Jordan, Kerry Katona, the bird from Loose Women etc.

Also what's with those Women's magazines where the headlines are nearly all bizarre and shocking stories revolving around incest and abuse? Must make lovely reading.

Yes, yes and yes. Front page story in the Metro this week - 'Katy Perry has to flee nightclub as she hears Russell Brand may be visiting'.

Seriously, that's a front page story? Fck me, what a country we live in.

Those women's magazine love to wallow in misery. Like those books about child abuse that sell by the bucketload. People are fking weird if they want to read them.

And while I'm in a mood!

The generation before me - thanks for putting property prices up so we can't afford them. Houses that people bought for £50k twenty years ago, and the owners trying to sell them for £250k.

Thanks for fking up the economy. Ah, but at least most of you will get a nice pension as you retire at 60. The rest of us are fked for life.

^ Feel for you there. i got on the ladder back in '01, luckily for me that was just in time. My very small 2 bedroomed house almost doubled im price in the space of 3 years. If I didnt buy when I did I doubt I would have ever been able to get a mortage in the area I wanted. Crazy prices indeed. I would never consider paying the asking price that my first house commands today.

[greenberet79]

Oh I did get on the ladder! I bought at the peak of the market (YOU HAVE TO BUY NOW! THE MARKET WILL ONLY GO UP! I was told over and over again).

Five years later, cue a £30,000 loss.

#And I think to myself...what a wonderful world!

Rant over!

I want to know why the censored a person who earns £150 GRAND a year only pays 5% more income tax than me?!? Assuming, of course, they bother to pay it AT ALL.

The 40% bracket is £35k to £150k. I only just make that bracket and I can promise you, I don't enjoy the same quality of life as someone who earns nearly 5 times my censored salary. How is that fair?!?

Oh, and Miranda Hart.

Is she supposed to be funny?

Of the 400 people in the UK who earn more than £10million (that's MILLION) a year, only 16% pay tax.

Have a nice weekend!

I thought you only got taxed at the money that fell above the boundary?

Yeah, true. Still grinds my gears though and any extra money I now earn, say from my pathetic savings account, is now taxed at 40%.

They didn't fcuk the economy !

The lenders/banks et all had a lovely (fraudlent)scheme(scam) going for years!They were doing this on a global wide scale ,they knew the bubble they created would eventually burst ,but quickly made as much money out of their scheme as they could .And now they are allowing them to trade more toxic loans onto the pensions .One scam stop and the money men are allowed to start another fraud ,so the people can bail the twats out again .

Blame those pensioners and mortgage owners from days gone past ,as teh are teh cause ,ses teh government .

Find your own information on TOXIC LOANS ,instead of being ignorant of the facts (but this is the way people act these days ,they follow what joe said,who followed what jack said etc etc etc .Not a single one of them down this long line of hearsay ,actually questions if what's been said is fact or fiction ,because it's easier to follow the sheeple heard mentality ,than it is to go and find stuff out for yourself !

IGNORANCE IS BLISS (until it comes with a penalty notice ,because you broke their rule of the day (a rule that could only be enforced if you were a member ))

Do you think mc donalds policies could be forced onto non mc donalds employees ?The bma to abide by the BAR society's rules ? Of course not,but that's what people are doing to all the ignorant people out there today Issuing penalty notices for breaking rules that don't apply to non members .

Stupid twits ,you deserve everything you get !

Next week they might come up with a new rule which needs you to hop backwards (an act/legislation and call it the "law" ,but because it's an act = a "rule" of society (no injured human(party) is involved)) ,consent is need to apply that rule to non members.

Most of the ignorant population would um and arr about it,but ultimately they would pay the penalty notice for failing to hop backwards !

It's just like watching children being told off by their parents (hence the "nanny state"),but the fact is you are still children! You behave and act like children ,ask when you can do something,have to be told when you can do it and you never question what the nanny tells you to do .

When you're a child ,you ask if you can have a biscuit.When you're an adult ,you go and get them yourself.

Now now children

So in order to make things "fair" you would take more money from the people who take the least*?

*in terms of benefits from the state.

I think a lot of people in this country need to seriously re-examine what "fair" actually means, because all I'm seeing is pettiness and jealousy.

If you ask me, we should all be paying the same rate of tax, anyone earning over £20k (hypothetically speaking) should pay 20% tax over that allowance. All business should be taxed at the same rate. KEEP IT SIMPLE!

problem is we have spineless Government (this one less so than Labour) and too many people with big mouths and theirs hands out....it's sickening.

Well said that man! I get so tired of hearing what people (not necessarily on here) describe as being 'fair' when what they're actually pushing is their own socialist interpretation of what 'fair' is.
