    Did the stewardess feel left out, i wonder? And how come Sky News is still using 1980s parlance for cabin crew?

    Russell Brand

    Correct ... provided that you also carry on formal education or training.

    Russell Brand

    Sorry if i have ignored intervening responses, but i'm just catching up on this thread. Certainly under health & safety law (which i assume is consistent with other general Acts and Regulations), someone is a "Young Person" under the age of 18 and a "Child" below the age of 16. So a "Young...

    I would have a problem with the general age of consent, criminalising perfectly legitimate adolescent activity. I think the predation on under 18s by older people should not be limited to those in a position of power/responsibility as it is currently. But where to draw a hard and fast line is...

    How are you feeling?

    To you guys who are going through your issues with infertility and miscarriage, i so feel for you. My first wife and I had "unexplained fertility" (they didn't know WTF was wrong, in other words). Went through the timed cycles, and a go at IUI which was ectopic. We both said that the positive...

    It's a fucking category 1 carcinogen, FFS - there are decades of research into how much harm it can cause in the human body!

    To answer your specific question, one answer is the workplace exposure limit, above which you must not allow anyone to be exposed (while at work). This value for formaldehyde is 2 parts per million. That said, this also takes into account dilution in room atmospheres, etc., not drawing it...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    People on Twitter were having a right go at Penny Mordaunt (as she seemed to be angling for the Defence job) as being hopelessly unqualified for the role. And then they do THIS??? At least knows what a military base looks like (and not just, while Transport Secretary, as a place to park lorries...

    An autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, and is the term for the sensation people get when they watch stimulating videos or take part in other activities.
