Nothing new about this really. Remember all those 70s and 80s pop stars who suddenly decided they wanted to live in the Carribean? My favourite was the late Barry Sheen, who decided to live in Australia so the bolts holding his legs together wouldn't rust.
I've often wondered if we could abolish taxation for good.

For me, contrition isn't enough. He, and others like him should be made to pay back what they owe. As one of his fellow comics posted on twitter today, he's basically been stealing money from the hands of the poor.

Cant wait to see 8 out of 10 cats tomorrow night. Should be good. If he's got the balls to turn up that is.

Very good.
I think the poor bloke......sorry, the rich blokes been cr*pped on enough.
Any more and we'll lose sight of any political shenanigans that our MPs are quietly trying to keep from grabbing our attention.

Opponents of gay marriages say it will 'open the door to polygamy and incest'. Claims by lobby group that reform of law would have far-reaching effects attacked as 'extremist and confused'.

A lobby group against gay marriage, formed by MPs and bishops, is embroiled in a row after one of its leaflets claimed that reforming the law would open the door to incest, polygamy and a new wave of illegal immigration.

The eight-page document, produced by the Keep Marriage Special campaign, whose supporters include the former bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Michael Nazir Ali, warns of the "consequential impact" of the reform.

The glossy leaflet, which has a picture of a mixed-race couple in an embrace on the cover, claims: "If the only basis for marriage is the desire of the parties to get married then there is, according to the logic of this proposal, no reason not to open up marriage to more than just same-sex couples. Polygamy, polyandry and incest would all be permissible."

Why limit marriage to straight people - do gays not have the right to be miserable too ?

On the basis of human rights how is this even possible to ban gay marriage ?

A reflection of the rise in popularity of super-sizing food, Jester's diner in Great Yarmouth serves a breakfast that includes 8 eggs, 12 rashers of bacon, 12 sausages, potatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, beans and 12 slices of bread.

That's about 4-6 breakfasts in one go ? In an hour ?

Madness. And I'm not talking about Suggs either !

Surely the only people capable of eating such a meal are those bed-ridden types we see on the TV who have to be hoisted through their windows because they're too fat to get through their own front doors. They couldn't possibly make their way down to Jesters in Great Yarmouth without the aid of a forklift. Do Jesters do home deliveries perhaps?

It's a lot of food wasted. A normal human could never eat it all.

I'm guessing this is the owner's dog!
