    Well, you lot almost got it right:

    MSE Guy: “So what you’re saying is you need money to have sex?”


    Actually, it's "you need sex to have money."

    As the stats continue to confirm where Brown's Benefits Britain is concerned.

    Another co-worker should have chimed in with:

    "Close. Both you and teens dreamed of getting it before they were 15."

    I recommend noting the abolishing of the plan to increase the duty on cider and drowning your sorrows with some before resuming the battle after the election.

    However, I also note that your recent blog entries have featured sex, Blonde teasing, toilet training, wee and making things bigger as well as fake ones.

    Clearly you've discovered that on the internet, sex sells. :)

    I'm not going to stay with MSE after all that.

    Disgusting.

    I think I'll put up for sale my house in Tonbridge Wells, too.

  • Couldnt help but think of "in Labour" at 15 for some reason! We can tell themtoo much!

  • They managed to push through the Digital Economy Bill, so the music police can arrest our children for doing the current equivalent of taping the top 40, but everthing else can go jump!

    Martin, you should have taken "lord" Mandelson out on your yacht and THEN you could have had this one passed in an eye-blink! See what you did wrong?

    Ah but that never got through unscathed either, the 50p broadband tax (that was supposed to help fund the rollout of next gen broadband across the country and getting broadband to current dead spots) was dropped from that bill for the same reason - to get the bill passed before parliament broke up.

    It seems ridiculous to me that important policies for the country are left to the last minute then butchered just to get them through.

    For women you don't need to have money to have sex. Just as long as you don't have standards!

    For men, its pretty much mandatory to have some money. You try pulling a woman if you are broke!

    They claim their labours are to build a heaven, yet their heaven is populated with horrors. Perhaps the world is not made, perhaps nothing is made?
