I think that β€œit was objectively funny” should be an affirmative defence.

Like GIFF, it's pronounced with a J.

I like the way the Colonel is peeping over the roof.

You should get a plumber to look you over.

Disney's Frozen cake is an exception.

It's VATable as it's designed to be eaten frozen.

It's called "Is it Cake?"

Two skeets:

This is why Gar gets the big writing bucks.

I don't doubt it. But a cake sandwich step too far for me.

Transgender people have been stung very many times. They are looking for an unequivocal commitment to trans rights from the new party. Until that happens, they are right to be suspicious and ask for clarification.

An abomination - their attempt to one-up the M&S strawberries and cream sandwich.

I think Tesco and M&S are doing everything in their power to break the person in HMRC who decides which food should incur VAT.

It’s even worse here in the UK - no mainstream party fully supports trans rights, and I simply don’t trust parties now without a gold-plated commitment to self-id.

I will not vote for any party that does not unequivocally support trans rights. This is because it’s the right thing to do, but also because you can guarantee that if they don’t, their other policies will also be terrible.

This is turning point in your character arc.

Hard agree. Only very large publishers get the economies of scale which allow lower prices. The fixed costs need to be spread across the total book sales, and print costs depend on print runs.

Posh crisps are those that were once or are now exclusively sold in up-market pubs.

I have nested hard drives going back a while thanks to Moore's Law. It's like you can incorporate the entire contents of your existing book collection on one shelf of your new bookcase.

My hope is that will end at the ECHR - I don’t hold out much hope at the SC.

The other point to consider is that GCs tend to win cases they bring, but we have fewer cases with them as defendants.

I’m pretty sure this will be subject to a legal challenge.
