Apparently sprouts are the new kale according to a random show I was watching last night. We still have lots to eat as they were 5p a bag in aldi on xmas eve.

Trick is not to cook them too long and serve straight away.

On an irrelevant point, yesterday we drove past a town called Aldie but it didn't have an Aldi!;)

The Kab clan are going out to a party tonight, one we have been to before.

They seem to have one of 2 basic incendiary moments :-
a) launch fireworks and try to burn down a neighbouring shed, or
b) launch chinese lanterns and burn down any one of a few neighbouring sheds about 10 minutes later.

Neither gets me excited, tbh. I'm more looking forward to going for a run with the latest running tech.

I hope the NP crew massive enjoy the passing of a faux-important moment in the temporal calendar as much as the media think we should

They've been trying to ban those for years, they're no joke when it's YOUR house they set fire to. They can land anywhere.

Reminds me of a drive home, where I used to go through a small place called Read, which had a library.

The sign to the library was of course labelled "Read Library". I used to yell back (in my head) that I haven't time to read a book, never mind their whole library

Is it illegal or immoral for an mp to have a relationship with a 17 year old?

I've often wondered if Reading Library or the University of Reading ever get any stick for their location-name, or if they'd be better-off using non-geographical names.;)

Err, I have a relationship with a 17 y.o .... my daughter.

She thinks it is a Daughter<->Father relationship.

I know it to be Daughter<->Human ATM/Taxi/House Maid

Over 16, so not illegal.
17, so immoral .... because he's just a leering, dirty old bugg4h. Had nothing to do with soulmates and shared interests .... he was just dribbling over thoughts of nubile flesh.

EDIT:
I hadn't read it before, of no interest to me... so I took a look. It seems she applied for a job in his constituency office and he started bombarding her with dirty texts. THAT is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Dirty, dirty, old pervert.
Wrong.

I haven't read the details but it sounds both nasty and sad from what you say and the law actually does seem to cover this under 'position of trust'.

Rochdale innit.

There's a strong tradition of sleaze to maintain.

Cyril Smith was another. I remember him at a music festival in Rochdale.
