The students said: "We never meant to be offensive, but we apologise if any offence was caused.

That's the problem with students these days, not offensive enough! Some of my fave fancy dress costumes of mine and others have been hugely offensive! Friends have done Harold Shipman and Foot & Mouth Disease whilst I'm most proud of my at the time of the Alderhey scandal, a kiddie doctor which I accessorised with dismembered dolls in specimen bags complete with strawberry dessert sauce...)Mmmm.

Cannot even comprehend what those people must be thinking, sitting in jail for ever some for just trying to deal with a difficult situaiton (the kids health care costs - one reason why I think the NHS should be saved, not binned...anyway...) and the other because they are addicted or dependant on drugs.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.
