I got bored with that thread, and read this articlewww.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/nov/08/top-chefs-unite-against-blogger-s-review
It's pretty funny how chefs are cunts, who'd have thought it?
So anyway, i'm hungover, I had to wake up at 5am to be sick and didn't make it into work until 10am. Luckily it's my bosses fault. Are you hungover?

I spent most of my time last nightpaying particular attention to the Captain's duty to preserve his ship from harm. Which I did to the very best of my ability by hiding in an asteroid belt all night only to pop out at the end to take part in the victory celebrations.
Only after hiding all my black crewmates and replacing them with more media-friendly white chaps, of course.

This spat merely confirmed two things for me.Firstly, chefs (especially 'famous', 'renowned', 'celebrity' etc etc chefs) are a bunch of extremely insecure overbearing bully types who can't take any criticism - at all.
Secondly, twitter is for cunts.
No hangover this morning, I fully intend to install one on Saturday and nurse it lovingly through Sunday.

A tiny bit hungover perhapswent out for drinks with a mate in Canary Wharf. Weird place, very American. Then I had steak for breakfast again which fixed EVERYTHING.

I had a stand-up argument with one of my old dears the other daybecause she wouldn'have it that some people are in a poverty trap through no fault of their own.
Apparently if you're in a position where you can't afford to feed your children, you should sell your pet, your TV, your car, any nice clothes you have, and eat mud, or something. You know, like back when we had *real* poverty, during the war.

I agree you can't measure it by parental income aloneGiving money to parents does not guarantee it gets spent on the children.

You can't measure child poverty by parental income???Are you suggesting that children should try to support themselves more?
Perhaps get jobs cleaning chimneys or something?
Edit: Did you add the word 'alone' to that, or did I just miss it?

Nothe problem is how to ensure that financial help for children actually goes to them and isn't just wasted by the parents.

Yes, well you can't measure local temperature with a thermometer.what if there's a fire behind that wall?
The measurment isn't the problem, it's the assumption that the figures are, or should be infallible. Child poverty figures are broad strokes the statistics won't save people. Changing the methodology just stops you easily doing long term trend analysis, which is stupid and a waste of time.

Reminds me when they tried to convince people that there were hardly any people sleeping rough in LondonBecause to be counted they had to actually be lying down and they did the survey during working hours.

Not correct. The legislation states that the count must be done between midnight & 4am. If someone is awake they are not included in the count.
Westminster council have a nasty trick; the winter night they do the count happens to be the same night they decide to pressure wash chewing gum off the pavements. Funnily enough, rough sleepers don't like getting wet in the cold, so fuck off somewhere else and don't get counted. Allowing Westminster to claim they don't have a problem with homelessness in their borough.

I say this because the example IDS used on BBC Breakfast this morningwere parents using the money to feed an addiction. A somewhat extreme example, I agree, but if that's what they're intending this to combat, then care would certainly be an option.
