I'm pretty sure there is a lot of harm that can occur from a father-son sexual relationship...

Really? I (personally) don't see it as any different from any other homosexual relationship, theoretically.

It seems that MP's are recruiting a new barista for their coffee.

Barista salary = £20,173

Police Officer salary = £19,000

Copper or Cuppa?

More importantly they get an interest free season ticket loan, but it doesn't mention which club!

Is that the London adjusted Police Officer salary?

That £19,000 starting salary isn't for everyone though, is it? Like, if you've had relevant experience before (as a special constable, for instance) you start at £22k. I could be wrong but i think that's what I read.

[Beefheart]

Read an article that reeled of those benefits as though they were massive perks. They're all just widely accessible salary sacrifice schemes as far as I can tell.

care to explain what harm that is?

[mrkint]

Tis a bit rapey.

Ahh, but does the Barista get to retire at 52 on a full pension?

[Bruce Rioja]

Without knowing any more, I'd say they were probably right that you could be called upon to do so, but that it would have nowt to do with you being the 'man'

Now then. One of us was sat in the room at the time and heard exactly what was said - and it wasn't you, was it?!

Having paid contributions well over usual levels for 30 years. And I didn't retire at 52. I was 49 (note the absence of flicky fingers.)

Paying contributions over usual levels to get a pension over usual levels though, right?

Not that you'd notice, no.

there are many wrinkles to be ironed out in this whole gay marriage/civil partnership thing..

My own church - the United Reformed Church allows Civil Partnerships to take place in our churches. Obviously - for the privilege of doing so - we pay cash to the Registrar.

for a PERMANENT license to hold weddings - it cost £120 (one-off once-only payment)
for a 3yr - ie TEMPORARY - license to hold Civil Partnerships - it can cost up to £8000 depending which town you are in.

hardly equal....

I'm guessing Brighton - £8,000, Moss Side - £3

Well then I refer you to my original sentiment, without exaggeration for (alledgedly) humourous effect. Either they were talking bollocks, or this happened a long time ago.

[Bruce Rioja]

Well. 'a long time' to those wet behind the ears, maybe.

[Prufrock]

You're secure in yourself wearing a pink shirt! You can't be that old despite what your hairline says

[Bruce Rioja]

That's just a noise.
