Will every other school be getting perks like a government bureaucrat working for you full time, and free expensive office space from a company?

She won because the left-wing vote was split between multiple parties whilst she had the right-wing vote for herself. She wouldn't have lasted long in a country with a modern voting system.

Since when is it acceptable to eat whilst driving????

And why do you need to look at the odometer? Or fiddle with the heating and radio? You can do all those things before you set off.

Yeah except government finances have absolutely nothing in common with household finances. For a start, households can't increase their income as they like, and can't print money. Nor do they benefit from the same low interest rates as governments.

Government has the right to do so, and has always had the right to do so. They can ban anything they like, and have the means to enforce it.

The Xbox and Playstation aren't competing against your PC, they're competing against the average PC which is probably a laptop with onboard graphics and no controller.

Before you all go upvoting that very long, very opinionated column, bear in mind that it's not backed up by a single shred of evidence.

It's just some very rich guy whining about having to pay the workers in anything more than buttons. Evidently these people won't be happy until none of their customers can afford their products.

I will say there is something 'unchivalrous', unfair and perhaps war-crime-worthy in using weapons that do not expose one's own fighters to some level of risk.

They used to say that about arrows.

If the honey in your grocery store is cheaper, now you know why. People expect their food to be dirt cheap without any consequences. This, and the horseburger scandal are the natural end-game to decades of relentless cost-cutting by supermarkets and bargain-chasing by consumers.

There's a reason they secretly enroll you into the HTML5 trial on Youtube without telling you: it's because it's awful. I had weeks of terrible playback before I worked out what was going on and reverted to flash.

I wonder how many other people are wondering why Youtube keeps stuttering and don't know anything about it.

Customers don't 'demand' anything from big chains, they eat what they're given. That's why they spend billions on advertising.

If you're that interested in food standards, why are you going to McDonalds in the first place?

That's impossible, the machine doesn't even allow you to enter your PIN until it's shown you the total.

I don't know what Nexium is, but if smoking improved quality of life most smokers wouldn't want to quit.

A sedentary obese life is not a higher quality. They live like that because they can't overcome their urges, or live in an environment which promotes poor health. They don't make an informed decision to be unfit, and most would be healthy if they could. Bad food isn't tastier either, it's usually incredibly bland with most if not all of the flavour coming from salt, sugar and grease. That's why people eat so much of it, it doesn't have the rich flavours to satisfy with smaller portions, and it's so lacking in nutrition the brain keeps you wanting more food because it doesn't think you've eaten.
