The man has a point.
I'll forgive all news readers if they let me kill Natasha Kaplinsky using the mediums of rapists and ice picks.

Neither of them have points really
the NHS and prisons are not losing out becuase of MPs, but her salary is irrelevant. They both just lost their tempers.

I don't really care, I'm just jealous of everyone earning a decent wage.

Everyone is jealous of someone earning a decent wage
because no one really thinks they earn one.

When you earn £20k a year you're looking at people on £40k wondering why you're not earning that but when you've got £40k it doesnt seem to go anywhere and you wonder why so many people seem to earn £70k a year.

I'm sure that Newsreader sits there thinking about Anne Robinson and her £3m a year for being a ginger harridan cunt.

£20K? I wish.
I need to leave, I earn about half as much as others do for the same job in other firms, it's just a case of having been here for 4 years and having security.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:45, archived)

I've never met anyone who earns less than that
who has English as their first language.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:46, archived)

Yes you have.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:46, archived)

Ok, sometimes
you get people born in England working in McDonalds.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:49, archived)

You go in McDonalds?
Ew.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:50, archived)

Only to have a shit

( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:52, archived)

I don't believe you
you like to go and masticate reconstituted vomit with the serfs.

So what ?

( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:55, archived)

So your high horse is knee deep in the same mire as the rest of us
except me because I don't eat McDonalds.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:58, archived)

?
What ?

So if I read lots of works of great fiction, then one day read a Nick Hornby novel because I was bored, I'd instantly become a philistine ?

Rubbish.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 14:01, archived)

It counts. That and I'm sure you're just as shit as everyone else.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 14:05, archived)

I see now
how your mental powers have lead you to be earning less than 20k a year : (
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 14:07, archived)

Only another 16 years to get to your level.
That's a ridiculously long amount of time, I'm sure I'll manage.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 14:07, archived)

I started on 10k when I left uni,.
Two years later, I was on 11k. Before tax.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:47, archived)

When was that ?
I started on £6k a year when I was 18 and that was 1988.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:48, archived)

My first job was 6k and then 11k in the next job (was there for 3 years when it climbed to 11.5k).

( Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:50, archived)

Do you ask everyone how much they earn?

( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:48, archived)

Yes
and if they dont tell me I hit them with a trout.

My receptionist job paid me about £13k pro rata (21 hours a week),
which isn't that bad for that line of work. I've just applied for a council job that pays about the same, but full time.

he's got a point about being interrupted all the time.

Yeah, I meant that.
*didn't, but would like to leap on the clever bandwagon*

I thought that was the point of interviewing MPs
Hassle them contantly. Never let them finish a point. Hopefully get them so riled up they'll say, "ALRIGHT FINE! WE STARTED THE IRAQ WAR TO STEAL THEIR FUCKING OIL! HAPPY NOW?".
( Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:42, archived)

That's the media's point, yes.
I can see how, as a politician, it would be very annoying.
