'cos snorting baking soda and sherbet is something grown men do

Obviously not, but I doubt anyone would be able to get any sort of charge laid on that video alone - nor would they waste time trying.

if it's true, then Speirs should be charged and convicted, and whoever was holding the camera charged with being some kind of accessory. Despite it being obvious as to what was going on, I don't think there's any actual evidence a crime was committed - let alone anything solid enough to charge anyo...

they were not dressed for Work

That's what my boss keeps saying about me.

sounds like he should cross the floor and join the labor party then...seems to be cut from your ilk I'm not sure you can really determine my ilk from my comments on this forum, but feel free to give it a go. All we know from the video is that David Speirs has quite probably had at least 1 line of c...

I'd prefer not to have coke addicts as our political leaders thanks. I've seen nothing to suggest he's an addict.

Story is a bit misleading. Plans haven't changed, this is pretty much what's been intended since the original vision was released — what is happening is that some changes need to be made to the code in order to allow what is within the plan, and the process for that mandates that it needs to go out...

How does marshall appeal to you?

Not really my side of politics but he's a very nice man by all accounts.

I understand the heating and cooling issues but in my opinion I would have loved it if they had completely refurbished the pool area and the outside gardens and then rebuilt the front section of the centre with a new reception and changing areas. The indoor/outdoor nature of the centre when all of t...
