The XYY Man Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Best I could find for you IRRO. No aliens, but sex and the Met.... and 'unbelievable' compo. I offer the interestrateripoff tribute post with a North-Eastern twist - stories aren't from the Daily Mail, but from the Hartlepool Mail...! (Which indecently, was originally called the Northern Daily Mail - spooky...! link ) Anyway, this one from today's edition ticks all the IRRO boxes - benefits thief pretends her kids are in care to scam more money and gets jailed...! greedy-mum-jailed-for-fiddling-26k-by-claiming-for-four-children-that-had-been-taken-into-care At the time the children were taken into care her lifestyle was quite chaotic. She started suffering from depression and anxiety and she was also put on some medication. “She came off that medication but went back on it after her fifth child was taken into care. “She thought her children would be brought back to her so she didn’t tell the council, but she accepts she should have done so.” EDIT: Added quote for extra irro authenticity.

The XYY Man Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Fiddling 26k? That surely beats Jimmy Savile's total. Aye Mr Aisles, it probably does...! Anyway, seeing this is a really interesting thread, what I'm really interested in is how many of you are here right now at 11.25pm on a Thursday night simply because you enjoy a shorter working day on a Friday...? I am - it's a 1.30pm finish tomorrow - so having a 'Thirsty Thursday' and staying up a bit later than usual has become quite a habit. And one that I enjoy very much... Any one else out there in hpc-land doing the same...? XYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19 year mortgage 8itch Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 That's very sad actually. If you watch the video in that link where they interview the boy and his 'friend', you can see that he was totally under the malign influence of his brighter friend who does most of the talking. A bit like Tony Blair and the electorate. We're the fat boy with the receipt tattooed on our foreheads. The receipt is tattooed on our kids.

In the controversial comment, Clarkson, 53, said: "That is a proud moment, but there's a slope on it", as a man walked towards him on a makeshift bridge over Thailand's River Kwai. Co-presenter Richard Hammond, 44, replied, indicating the bridge's surface: "You're right, it's definitely higher on that side." We can't discuss this either.

We were accused of endangering national security and people’s lives. It left us in a very difficult position. - Paul Johnson, deputy editor of The Guardian As if you didn’t already recognize the serious threat to press freedom in the UK following authorities holding Glenn Greenwald’s partner David Miranda for eight hours under “terrorism” laws as he transferred through London’s Heathrow airport. It’s not just the traditional press at risk in the UK either, the government is hard at work censoring the internet itself via ridiculous filters. Now we find out from the Irish Times that: The Guardian newspaper was threatened with closure by the British government over the Edward Snowden spying affair, the Radiodays Europe conference has been told. The paper’s deputy editor Paul Johnson said Britain’s intelligence agencies visited them and told them they would be closed if they persisted in printing Snowden’s revelations of mass surveillance involving the National Security Agency (NSA) in the United Statesand the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in the UK. Mr Snowden is now in Russia, where he has temporary asylum. He is wanted by the US authorities on espionage charges. Freedom of the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
