Heck, China probably would. Interestingly enough, the North Korean constitution has previously denounced communism. They're far more nationalist/fascist, like Nazi Germany, than Soviet, these days. They're particularly racist in a pseudo-scientific sense.

It's speculated that the missiles are targeted on whoever dances to 'Gangnam Style' in public.

Someone with mental health conditions would be more interesting than someone in coma, because that essentially is just a dream, and no good story ends with "it was all a dream".

Trust Jez to want to bone Dobbie. He'd bone anything. Anyway, good episode, quite liked how much screen-time Super Hans got, he's great. Simon's quite a prick, just like Gerard. I know how Mark felt during the hat game when he had to guess which band it was. I'm not as bad as him, but I'm hardly a musical expert and always embarrass myself when such a topic comes up with friends who do know about music.

It always bugs me abit when people suggest just because someone has alot of money they're not allowed to have problems or complain about anything, like it makes fuck all difference really Oh and the term "first world problems" can just do one while were at it

That's because you're a cunt.

See I can use this face and be condescending too

Cunt.

"gone killed herself"? King Luis, you're a grade A cunt. Could have some tact for someone who's just died after being humiliated in front of the entire world. It's one thing to say "gone killed herself", another for something as bad as this. Seriously, you need to get out more if you're that callous about other people, pathetic little prick.

It'd be shit if loads of countries got automatic qualification to this. The point of having a qualifications process is to ensure the big teams don't expect a place in the tournament - for example, England in 2008.

I mean I lend her like £30/40 a week on lots of stuff, some goes towards my phone. She got it for me before I turned 18 so I wasn't allowed to have it under my name.

My Blackberry costs me (well, my mum officially, but I lend her money) £10 a month for unlimited texts, 300 minutes, a gig of data and BBM. It's a little slow and doesn't get most apps, but it's a decent little phone, it's very cheap and does what I need it to do. It's with Tesco Mobile, which is actually quite a good service - I very rarely go without signal, and often have signal when others don't.

Jez being the voice of reason and Super Hans giving out legal advice - something felt a little odd with that.

I love the winter and cold for some reason, and the early nights look pretty with the Christmas light displays.

Before Mark was a creepy nerd who spied on the girl he fancied from across the office, now he's a slightly sociopathic super-creep and an absolute arsehole at times. Jez is... Jez, I guess.

Can 'libertarian' be twisted to anything that slightly refers to a desire for people to have liberty?

I always doubted anything would happen. Something as obvious as an illegal overtake wouldn't take what, three, four days, to be complained about.

I confess I do cherry-pick when it comes to applying for jobs. McDonalds and other fast-food restaurants are towards the end of my wishlist for a job simply because I'd be atrocious at it - I'm crap at working in kitchens, something I learnt at school doing food tech. But I wouldn't turn down a job offer.

To expand on what I said before about 'one-size-fits-all', something that really bothers me is that when some say that people on JSA should be compelled to do vocational training or work (construction, hairdressing/beauty, public services, apprenticeships, trades etc), because people on JSA are typically 'working class' or suited to that type of work. It's basically saying that those who where more academic at school never need Jobseekers, or that they don't bother signing-on because they're perhaps more middle class and have a safety blanket. I'm not from a well-off background, but learning about plumbing or brick-laying would feel like... a waste of time, pretty much. Like I said, I'm only looking for something before I go to uni anyway.

I personally find the representative model optimal for the gradual reform of society, rather than misguided revolution and dictatorship. It's not perfect, but you can eventually correct the faults where you find them and continually improve.

I wrote a long paragraph but then my internet fucked up and it didn't post. Here's a summary:
1) My part-time job is 10 minutes down the road. It's mostly operating a till, but retail experience helps me find a job elsewhere in retail, though on a full-time basis and with better pay. This is indisputable, really.
2) I live with my parents. I contribute about a third of my weekly income (be it wages or reduced JSA) for general house-keeping, which is fair.
3) I'd far rather be spending 16 hours a week out and about, working, doing hours, improving my CV and chances to get a job than sitting about all the time, doing fuck all, sat behind a laptop, uploading the same CV and generic cover letter again and again. Life's too short for that.
4) I'm on a Youth Contract, so I go down to the Jobcentre once a week to discuss job options and my long-term plans. I'm looking for something to keep me going until September - when I go to uni - and nothing particularly long-term, as in a career.
5) Sweeping generalisations like "all on JSA are lazy who can't be arsed to get a job" aren't particularly helpful. The Jobcentre help you get a job, rather than offer handouts to those who want to play Xbox, drink and wank their life away.
6) Surely, as taxpayers, you'd all rather my income be coming from a private limited company rather than the Department for Work and Pensions. This is obviously very understandable, and if I paid taxes, I'd rather people be in employment, even part-time, if this is immediately available.
7) 'One-size-fits-all' approaches to employment issues generally don't work. Jay's suggestion for what I should do doesn't work for me, but you never know, maybe it does for someone... doubtful, but okay.
