I was on the wrong end of 20k+ of CC/Loan debt during my 20s, I learnt the hard way and its something I never wish to go through again. Tearing up the cards and finally getting myself into the black was one of the best feelings ever.

tHAT'S ONE THING i'M GLAD OF REALLY WHICH i ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT, i MIGHT BE SKINT BUT AT LEAST i'M NOT IN A TON OF DEBT LIKE i WAS AT ONE POINT. i SOMETIMES FORGET HOW **** THOSE DAYS WERE.

CAPS... CBA CHANGING IT NOW.

I used to be terrible with money but after spending most of early to mid twenties in some sort of debt I am now debt free. Although to be honest I think my shrewd wife should take most of the credit for that. Even the thought of one her lets sit down and talk about money chats is enough to stop me reaching for the credit card.

Anyway, I think I may have damaged that strange part of your body between your balls and your bum. I accidently rode over a massive pot hole on the way home today and I was boucned around on my seat. It really hurts, still it could have been a lot worse though, I could have crushed something.

Are Jelly tots exactly the same as fruit pastels, only smaller or are they made with different ingredients?

[spagmasterswift]

Pretty sure one is made from Jelly and the other Fruit.

[randombs]

Going by the eating experience alone, fruit pastilles are softer than jelly tots, but both are still softer than American hard gums.

[jezzace]

What irks me is all this wasted forum space about Fruit pastilles, when fruit gums are clearly the superior sweet.

To be fair, I love fruit gums to bits and I'm sure i'm a minority but what also irks me is anyone who says fruit gums are no good

[randombs]

I don't like fruit gums. They're like teenagers for your teeth - they just find the most annoying spot and sit there motionless while you try all manner of engaging activities to get them to bugger off.

I'm planning on becoming a secondary school Maths teacher and am working on my personal statement.

And what music am I listening to while I do this?

Why, the Great Teacher Onizuka soundtrack, of course!

He's my role model. If I do everything exactly like he does, I can't possibly fail!

[Ady]

Perfect.

The hypocrisy of the Hangover 2 cast over dropping Mel Gibson from a cameo role is semi amusing.

They didn't seem to have too many problems working with a convicted rapist in the first film. Nor do many many people in Hollywood seem to have issues working for a director who is a convicted child rapist...

[Kieran76]

Couldn't agree more. The very idea that Hollywood execs have any sort of moral compass is laughable.
