My fucking stupid 18 year old son racked up $15K in credit card debt. Now the wife and I are arguing over it. What to do?

Of course he can't. He doesn't have to help pay off the debt, either.

Fresh and Easy is Tesco, isn't it? Like ASDA is Wal-Mart.

I run a programme called Weight Wins, where we pay people to lose weight. They set their loss target and risk/reward ratio.

Does this compare?

Tamper-evident labels? Or locks?

I think the jelly in jelly-belly is that it wobbles like a jelly (jello) though, rather than "caused by eating too many gelatinous deserts"... ;-)

Aaah, the sugar-free stuff's from Sprouts? That explains it. I was about to go off on one about how you get more options in your Tesco than we do back in its homeland.

"Got the gonads" has awesome alliteration to it, too.

Yeah, I think you misunderstood - if I remember correctly, it was James C. saying that at the time, with a "full sarcasm" voice on. The man was signed to Leicester City's junior programme.

Have they revoiced it where you are? ...and moved it away from the pillar box (post box) on Baker Street?

"Many plastic straws on beaches are likely to come from street drains, often via rivers and sewers..."

From this Guardian piece on the subject. To be honest, I hate the little straws they give you in drinks so I'd be delighted if the norm became 'ask for them' rather than 'take them out the second the drink's given to you', but I'm aware this is a personal rant...

Your sex drive isn't low - you're talking about fantasizing about other men or cheating on him. So you're still horny, but he's not doing it for you.

You either need to get him to put a bit more effort in, work out how to spice up things between you, or leave him.

If you do still want to stay with him, let him know that you're not getting enough out of sex any more and suggest some ways to make it more fun.

I dunno - I don't ask for permission to see friends of the other gender, so I wouldn't ask permission to see an ex. Because they're just friends.

That said, if my girlfriend expressed discomfort about me seeing an ex, I would of course change the rules - either only see her with my gf present, or tell the gf before I arranged a meet up.

But no, I'd never want the situation to be that I had to ask permission. That implies what I'm doing is wrong, and catching up with a friend, even if that is an ex, isn't wrong. It would be even stranger, and controlling, to assume I'd ask her for permission if she's never told me that it upsets her.

Fascinating idea - good luck with it!

I run Weight Wins. We pay people to lose weight.

Set a target and how long you're willing to weigh in. If you hit your targets you get a cash reward - if you fall short you get paid proportionally to where you should be. Aim to lose 40lbs and weigh-in once a month for 2 years and you could get over £1,600.

I'm trying to find new ways to show this to people online - and to improve the conversion rate of our website, which is currently below 1%. Any advice gratefully received.

Would boobs alone make a film worthy of a 18 rating?

The film's icon is a DVD case showing that it has the British Board of Film Classification's "PG" (Parental Guidence) rating.

18s (or X) were given more freely back then, but I doubt a film with boobs on show would be a PG. So this is probably cut. Question is, was it just this scene, or others as well?

I don't know- do yours look like this?

Do we have to boycott the EC too? Because I live there and that could get awkward.

You don't have advent calendars? But how do you get yourself in training by eating small amounts of chocolate every day for a month before the big one?

What about those of us who exchanged before the AKs came in?

Send me a reminder to check back, but I'm up for trying this.
