*facepalm*

Local news photographers are hugely skilled and poorly paid, and get sent to photograph miserable people gurning at uncooked meat products. Here, we celebrate their work.

It's a long shot madam, but one fewer hair-do or manicure for madam this month might actually save enough money for a pair of shoes for beloved fruit-of-your-loins...
Whatever happened to those lovely plastic buckle-up sandal things they used to make us wear when I was a kid and Queen Victoria was still fresh?
They must surely save on Sky TV fees by plugging boyo's butt into the aerial. Those ears could listen in on Pluto.
Mind you... Would.
@TRT: Hmm, not really to my taste, but his mum's alright.
She described her son as 'hard working, but a bit of a joker' and complained he was unfairly excluded from school.
I think we can all read between those lines...
Happy to pop round her place & scuttle her bandy & then pay her in SHOES.
I'm here to help :)
@JuliaM - Yep! I hope the team behind the Oxford Euphemism Dictionary have picked up on 'Hard working, but a bit of a joker'. It urgently needs adding to the list alongside
'Loveable Rogue', 'A Character' and 'Bit Cheeky But With a Heart of Gold' under their entry for 'Disruptive Little Shit Who, When They're Actually Allowed on School Grounds, Spends Lunchbreak Flushing Year 7 Heads Down the Bog'.
A display of norks would have done her credit.
