Lots of moaning abut the Daily mail on another thread. I've no idea how accurate the article about travellers is but this steaming pile in the Guardian made me laugh this morning. I see one guy holding up both hands and two or three holding phones up to take pictures but try as I might, I can't...

Mate of mine and his Mrs (both high earning business owners) got married for £840 quid last year didn't invite anyone, didn't tell anyone until three weeks latter and then threw a BBQ for family and friends.

I'm not in favour of any sort of artificial weighting, anywhere for any reason because it smacks of a rather dark ideology that favours equality of outcome over equality of opportunity. Whether it's dome on race, gender, criminal history or whatever, it always results in some ordinary Joe who is...

I'm coming in on he train from Kidderminster and either doing Jewellery Quarter or Snow hill to Five Ways in the morning and Five Ways to Moore St in the evening. Back when I was running the martial arts club, I'd also be doing Five Ways to Dogpool Lane twice a week.
