El Loro My opening post has now been amended to include links to the official press releases, the press releases for each region and the announcement for compensation to the Equitable Life policyholders. [ more ]
El Loro The main surprise in today's announcement was this: From the BBC: The state pension age will now rise to 66 by 2020 for both men and women, the Chancellor, George Osborne, has said. The plan brings forward by six years the plan that the previous Labour government had put in place. Mr Osborne told MPs that the increase from 65 to 66 would be phased in from 2018. This will also accelerate the existing plan under which women's pension age would have been equalised with men at age 65, by 2020. [ more ]
El Loro In the Government spending review paper (link at the top), details is given on the effect for each department. For those who have a particular interest in a specific department, this is a list of the page numbers in the report where you can find the detail.

She has also resigned from her job which she had held for 27 years If that's all true then IMO she has suffered enough. So her... [ more ]

MrMincePie Depends, I expect to the owners/chairmen of clubs its a business... to fans its a sport. I have always been in favour of a salary cap, works well in Rugby League and stops clubs from paying ridiculous wages to players. Clubs also come out making a profit aswell.

Should drug addicts be paid to be sterilised?
Darthhoob this just reminds me of when they sterilised disabled people... and thats what it will go back to, if this is allowed... first it'll be heroin addicts, then cocoaine, then alcohol, then smoking, then the fat people, then the jobless, then the disabled, then the people with low IQ, then the people who dont have blonde hair and blue eyes...sound familiar?? they say it's voluntary...but i dont think it is, what possible choice would an addict wanting their next big hit, being dangled £200 in... [ more ]
Darthhoob i wrote a huge reply then it went tits up and i cant be arsed to do it again... sigh... i'll just sum it up by saying it'll end up going back to the days where disabled were sterilised (and still are in some places) it's addicts and alcholics now, fat people and smopkers next, then the jobless, then the disabled then it'll be the people who are not blone with blue eyes.....sound familiar? [ more ]
Karma_ Reference: Should drug addicts be paid to be sterilised?

Former Member Reference: But I have chosen not to post them here as they are very similar in effect to the famous portal scene in 2001 in the sense that they are hypnotic and may be disturbing for some. I can't believe I've never heard of this man or of fractals. I'm beginning to think I should have.. But what you posted about, El Loro, sounds intriguing.... [ more ]

Karma_ I have no idea. The backing track may have been different to Jay-Z's overall (a few bits added here and there) but the concept was nothing new. She's just a mix up of Lady Sovereign/Lily Allen to me. Maybe it's cos there's no-one who's got through to X Factor finals like her before, I dunno.

Crunchy Nuts On the subject of desktop images, did anyone play the classic desktop prank on anyone or have it played on them at school? I did it to someone and had it done to me.

brisket There are a number of posts on the BBC Points of View Message Boards suggesting that Bruno and Craig are showing favouritism towards Pamela and that their praise is rather overly-gushing.
