I still think that's a better use case for IAPs than something that would give you an advantage in PVP.

After reading this, I have questions:

A) of he is living in a £100k house and driving a Zafira, is it fair to say the 16kg heroin probably was not his?

B) if not his, does he owe the owner 16kg or is it acceptable losses?

C) Is 16kg a lot?

I reckon it's probably a lot, bust of a lifetime for the officers involved I would imagine.

Anyone know about the Cottingley Faeries? The house with the beck in the garden where they were photographed is up for sale. If you want a 2 bed end of terrace for £165k near me.

Yeah, I read a lot about the Cottingleu fairies when I was young. Frances (perhaps) and sister. And nobody noticed that some of them were cut off of a box of washing soap flakes or similar. And verified by Consn Dotle I think. Memory hazy.

I always imagined it was a cottage in the middle of some land rather than a terrace end. Maybe just because Cottingley sounds like cottage-y.

It is pretty much a big council estate there now. Out the top there is a bridleway through to the country though. And Ruin Bank Wood.

Does anyone have a tiscali.co.uk e-mail address that I can send a couple of test e-mails to? No spam or anything, just need to troubleshoot an issue with our mail server at work.

I haven't clicked that link but I've always believed that if you have a child with a T shirt with their name on, a stranger can come up and say "Hi (name) your mom and dad have said you can come with me"

Is that what they mean?

That is (or was) quite a widely held and repeated belief. If Jamie has a jacket with 'Jamie' printed on, and there is a bad man wanting to snatch a child, a child of a young age is believed to be more likely to believe that his mum or dad have sent uncle Bad Man, because he addresses him by name, as if he knows him (otherwise, how would he know his name).

I was about 14 years old (so the guy was really pushing his luck) when someone started calling 'Nikki!, Nikki!' and beckoning to me. I was carrying a friend's study notes to look through as I'd been off and her name was scrawled on her folder. Obviously i knew I didn't know him, but the idea creeped me out.

I'm currently "between projects" which involves me slumming around in my undies at home as much as possible, and only coming into the office if I have to meet anyone.
I came in today for a lunchtime meeting. Turns out the meeting is tomorrow. This is a literal disaster. I'm devastated.

The #1 cause of kidnappings is kidnappers, is it not?

Its the number one enabling factor, not cause. But if you expect newspaper subeditors to choose the non emotive word given a choice of two, you're the number one victim of naivity.

I work in an IT/Business consultancy, right. While we pride ourselves on our diversity of employees, we still have a lot of the usual type of people you would imagine.
Of all the emails I didn't expect to get today, top of the list was a company wide one asking if anyone wanted to get together to form a cheerleading squad...

I'm having a name and shame argument in the private group for our estate on facebook about bins being left out at the wrong time.

Truly I have surpassed the previous pinnacle of my achievements. And arrived at the need for professional counselling.

Someone has used the work email to send this around to every single colleague in the company.

The font choice and colour have absolutely ruined my day.
