corn, vote fed, vote pig.
This raises several troubling questions, chief among them: since he can't recommend his posts himself, who the hell are these people who do?

Will sex consent adverts be successful?

Are you worried by water shortages?

Dr Miles: As a doctor I would be happy to add my knowledge. However I would be unhappy if any of the students attempted surgery at home, that's simply unsafe. Some things should be left to the experts.

Dr Miles: I always ensure that a woman has consented to sex by ensuring that she is well paid for the transaction.
No doubt the government will soon tax sex as well - another example of rip off Britain!

Dr Miles: For the whole of our married life my wife and I got all of our water from a well on our own property, and I suggest other readers do the same. However, I would suggest an automated mechanism for raising the water. I am too old to manage it on my own, and my wife recently died of cholera.

Public trust is being damaged due to the way alleged misconduct by ministers is policed, says the Committee for Standards in Public Life.
Dr Miles: All politicians are answerable to the electorate, and therefore they should be voted out on a weekly basis, like in that Big Brothers show on the ITV. Then new members could come in and do a bit, although I for one wouldn't want Dennis Rodman running the country.

Dr Miles: I am snowed in, which has led to me being unable to get to the pub. Thank goodness it will be open later so that I can enjoy a drink later on to warm up! Down with the nanny state!

A panel of 150 experts from all sectors of the energy field says fossil fuels will remain the dominant source, with renewables expanding and nuclear power almost certainly needed.
Dr Miles: I would suggest that we build nuclear reactors in third world countries and compensate them for the health risk. Or maybe on Mars, although getting the power back from there could be a bit trickier.

Why do you think boys are not doing as well as girls in "the three Rs"?
Dr Miles: This is undoubtedly due to the emphasis placed on sport, both on tv and in the media at large.
I for one would rather have an unhealthy but intelligent child who lived a short, full life rather than a healthy stupid one who lived a futile life of stupidity.
