Just a note on the woman who inspired this
Her husband paid for the wedding. The benefits she was claiming were a result of her failing to say she was living with her husband - hence being caught out by wedding pictures.

I'm choosing to read that as a veiled insult to Swipey

You're wrong there
It wasn't remotely veiled

i'm not rich
you are rich when you stop noticing what day of the month is payday. i either need to earn a LOT more or to spend a LOT less to reach this stage!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:40, Reply)

so...
what you are saying is that you are shit in bed?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:41, Reply)

you might think so
or you might think you never knew what sex was like before that night of whitehot passion.

but i think the former will make it easier to live your pallid little life in the aching bitter knowledge that you'll never get to find out, so let's agree on that!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:47, Reply)

I'll have to make do with the great sex I regularly get from the woman I love then
what a shame.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:51, Reply)

it IS a shame
but i think you'll come to terms with it. eventually. in 2018 or so.

I disagree
I ceased noticing post my foray into quizland, although I'll probably have to pay attention again next month, and what I won is probably less than your take-home

after tax
i take home about £11,500 per month i think.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:55, Reply)

what would that be anyway...
£138,000 after tax, so about £200,000 per annum?

and to think partners in city firms earn three times that. blimey.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:32, Reply)

I have made my list.
Further to the earlier list, I am adding Andrew Garfield and Henry Cavill.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:35, Reply)

So, it's basically anyone who has played a hero in a film you've liked over the last few years?
And then anyone who is soon to play a superhero? If that's the case, why no Chris Pine?

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:51, Reply)

No, it's not
If it was, it would include James Van Der Beek, since he is the hero (of sorts) in my FAVOURITE FILM EVER, and it doesn't, does it?
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:39, Reply)

Doesn't he play a complete bastard?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 11:40, Reply)

Hence the qualifying "(of sorts)"
If there is a hero in the film, it's him.

Hey, that scene at Rupert's with Mitchell more than makes up for the inept-ness
That is fucking awesome. And probably entitles him to be a superhero.
