That's not council. The council versions are either:

a) Spends £120 on a fake £1,200 Adidas jacket or;
b) steals a £1,200 Adidas jacket or;
c) steals a £120 fake £1,200 Adidas jacket.

I've just shown my wife this . She thinks it's a brilliant idea. I'm getting her some leggings from Primark this afternoon and getting all dogstar on her arse wink
Make sure that they're very tight and see-through.

And on the subject of see-through leggings Mrs DS's neice was at a food festival yesterday and saw this...

A local Co-op store closed on Saturday, I was in my cab on the rank outside and the scrum for bargains the last couple of days has been ridiculous, I had one couple get in the car with three bread trays ful of Magnums, Soleros, Walls Feast etc that they had paid £5.00 for the guy saying he was going to make a fortune on the estate selling 10 for a £1.00.

Another woman had four carrier bags full of sweet and chocolate bars had the same idea, someone else had bought boxes of beans, peas, soup etc and offered me any eight tins for a £1.00.

The thing they all had in common was the council estate they lived on, they all moaned about the shop closing but when asked if they used it the reply was "no it's too dear".

In their defence co-ops are horrifically expensive.

Am I right to think this is just plug-in and go? No hob required?

If I loaded this up with stuff then plugged it into one of those timer things and placed it by my bed, would I be able to wake up to a full English?

If so, I'll have three. One for breakfast one for lunch (Dinner). And one for supper (tea)

Add a Stella branded beer fridge and there'd be no need to get out of bed at all. I'll just piss out of the window and worry about stting when it happens.

Also a lady with tats on her tits and a tag on her ankle and my friends we are living the dream.
I have a Stella beer fridge already!

I went to uni with a guy who didn't buy or clean ashtrays. He just nicked another from the pub and threw away the old one

A local news article on the regeneration of a housing estate being delayed and there was a woman commenting who said... 'Why do the councils keep spending money on these same run down areas? because I live on a nice estate which is mostly now private I cant get anything done, I had to buy my own kitchen, my own shower and my own fencing in the garden. Council have got it all wrong!'

Imagine that? Having to pay for your own house improvements? I know! propa mentel init!

She has a slight point.

Round here the council has invested heavily in improving the look of their housing stock.

Cladding the buildings to cover the 50s style concrete and steel frames. The result is they look fantastic.

Unfortunately, the folk that bought their houses dont even get a subsidised offer for the work (council really missing out here) so net result the council houses are all fresh, new glazing etc then you see the right to buy houses that look totally run down in direct comparison.

I think that's quite sad. But what's worse is, I don't trust that actually they aren't just going to take what you offer & flog them on gumtree/Facebook/ebay. Which is even sadder.

I may actually be related to the person doing this, they don't really struggle financially, however their spending priorities are a bit skewed.

Shoes for toddlers and young kids aren't something that you should scrimp on.

Having just been around the local Tesco (yes, I should have sent the housekeeper but it is her day off), I wanted to know if it is more council to allow one's feral children run riot around a super market, or to shout at the snot-nosed urchins at the top of one's voice in an attempt to prevent them from doing so?

quite. Ones children should be able to respectfully roam close by but without the need to be yelled at.

Housekeeper or not, going to Tesco's is very council.

Currently stopped at Swindon train station as unfortunately we are waiting for emergency services. Clearly someone's not well and I hope not too serious.
Thing is, you can hear people moaning about delays yo their trip.

Someone is seriously ill, complaining in such light is uber council.

They used to day you'd worked too long in the City when some poor soul threw themselves in front of a train and you said, "Why the hell can't they do that on a Sunday? Bloody inconsiderate! "
