Don't know if this is public yet but - Gary Lineker is being sued.

Sued, because he promotes crisps - and the moneygrubbing mother of some fat little boy holds him responsible for the state of her porker son.

Terrific.

Are you being serious?

Good God. What the hell is this country coming to? As a lawyer who is rapidly watching the sliding (even further) of his profession into the gutter, I'm disgusted.

I would like to use my favourite phrase.

"Blame Transferrence" she doesn't/won't blame herself for not looking after her own son's health so she blames the person she (rather stupidly) sees as the person who sells the crisps. Not even apportioning any of the blame on the man behind the counter in the local newsagents who sells the little porker his scoff.

Where can you get hold of the Walkers Chicken Tikka Masala crisps - I can't say I've seen them about and have been meaning to try this flavour for ages?

As for the fat boy...

Try walking to school everyday, there and back

You can't be serious. Don't you know that the roads to and from school are full of childmurdering speeding maniacs, which makes it imperative that kids are ferried to school in the biggest f off vehicle one can get?

Tssk, tssk...

Holy cripes! Methinks there's a bit more going on here than the odd pack of crisps...

I noticed that the sole in a pair of my trainers has developed a hole. Should I sue the footwear company cos they did'nt state on the box that if I used them for walking or running in I would wear them out

Have you thought about suing the mother for exacerpating the lawsuit culture??.....Hold on, she may sue me then, and I'd have to sue Ted for giving me the platform, Ted could sue Dontlift for introducing me here, Patrick would sue Sharon for allowing him to buy his comp. Sharon could sue her friend Mary for introducing her to Patrick......

and on....
and on....
