yep, the kid lied about his age to get into the nightclub, but once in there was plied with cheap booze by the Barman because he got a nice bonus at the end of the week, based on how much alcohol he sold.

no, not because Greeks over-extended themselves, because German banks over-extended themselves.

^ to a point yes, reckless borrowers should be punished for their greed, but the core of the problem / resentment is that reckless lenders are not being punished - they (german banks) lent billions of euros of loans to greek banks and now they want their money back !?

Sorry German banks, you made a bad bet, don't go looking for your money back from the Bookie when your horse falls.

sorry >

I've cheated plenty of times in school and it did me no harm - what's the point in rote learning some history dates you'll never use again for the rest of your life, or some diagram of a cell. In my job i use google throughout the day to get things done quicker, to reuse where possible. Rote learning is outdated and achieves nothing, except to encourage cheating.

it's bad enough that nine year olds have mobile phones, soon they'll have automated cars as well.

i wouldn't call that tailgating, not by Irish driving standards anyway!

It's true. Doritos *do* flavour the way i look at life !

God i hate flashmobs.

the original title was "Lab research dogs get to sniff each others butts for first time"

You think a manslaughter conviction should keep you from working at McDonald's? Why? You realize manslaughter is by definition involuntary? Even if it was murder in the first degree, what does that matter when it comes to making burgers?

wow, 35 comments and i can't see anyone asking the question "Why, McDonalds, do you hire people convicted of Manslaughter!?". I wonder if Paedophiles prepare the happy meals.



abso-fucking-lutely, the events shown in the video speak for themselves, he's too volatile to be working anywhere near civilised human beings and Micky D's should know better. Manslaughter vs Murder means very little these days, it's just a plea-bargain to secure a quick conviction and avoid expensive protracted trials. He shot and killed his friend and the bullet also hit an 8 year old child.

wow, 35 comments and i can't see anyone asking the question "Why, McDonalds, do you hire people convicted of Manslaughter!?". I wonder if Paedophiles prepare the happy meals.

that's from Armando Iannucci's series called Time Trumpet.

now that's just a brilliant video.
