    If you are gonna pay someone on IG for medical advice....

    Defence barrister Erasmus Lovell-Jones said his client had an underlying psychological fragility which made it difficult for her to say no in social situations.

    What she actually had Erasmus was a predilection for lying and benefiting financially from those lies.

    Haha really...tipping at self checkouts?

    Customers are being asked to tip even at self check-out. Some say it's 'emotional blackmail.'

    As self-checkout kiosks are incorporating the option to include tips, customers question where the money is going.

    It's one of the things I'm really concerned about if I do finally move to Canadia... fucking tipping. What a stupid system... I can't imagine they're going to like my approach of doing it as intended... only tipping truly good service. And hot chicks. Everybody else - gets the minimum.

    Anyone dumb enough to tip deserves to be parted from their money

    Hot? I don't think I've ever heard any of you lot claim to be "hot" Polish chicks.
    I'd assumed you were all rather more Marie Curie than Joanna Krupa.

    @Kruse individually the coven are far less terrifying.

    The 1980'sa sprinter looks uncannily like a bulked up Bruce Robertson

    If it had been Cathay the captain would have put the F/O in the basement. Guns don't scare CX captains. A sort of Chuck Norris thing going:
