I would like to see a reworking of Battleships. Celebrities on pedalos have to hide in an olympic sized swimming pool whilst members of the studio audience have to build and fire improvised mortars built from a supermarket sweep style collection of items from Plumbase and Haskins. ---

Perhaps not the worthiest cause, but an interesting one. Internet pirate cuts a deal. If his vid gets 200K views, he avoids paying a huge fine. He has 145K so far.

Arf, he’s already got off, according to the rules. 232K views now :lou_lol: Think they may raise the threshold or not offer that kind of deal again. ---

Another govt attack on students and the NHS. The scrapping of bursaries for Nurses. Considering trainee nurses are on average older than students, it’s a pretty obvious move against them. In turn, putting more pressure on an NHS crying out for more nurses. It’s almost like they want people dissatisfied with a **public** health system **.** > **[Archived Petition: Keep the NHS Bursary](https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/113491)** > > At the moment, student nurses do not pay tuition fees, and receive a means tested bursary during their training. We are required, by the NMC, to have done at least 4,600 hours whilst studying, at least half of which are in practice. ---

[Lets do away with stupid and pointless e-petitions - Petitions](https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/1145) Like twitter for grasses and whingers. The government ones actually get debated in Parliament if they pass 100K signatures, @barry-sanchez . Besides, I find this attitude difficult to reconcile with your frequent whinging on various frequently raised subjects (e.g. JWP, Puel, da Muslims). ---

> Originally posted by @Barry-Sanchez That’s was this site is for, maybe I could start a petition for Puel’s removal? Do the government one. If you could get 100K signatures, it’ll be interesting to hear them debating whether the Cup Final appearance excuses the poor league form. They might even get a backbench amendment in to blame it all on Les Reed. ---

I know about the 100k figure, I also know they give it (the petitions) scant regard. ---

In many senses, the least worthy cause I’ve ever put up here in terms of number of people it will affect. However, Juvenile Unit #1 is up for an award.
