YOUR CHANCE TO SCOOP UP FREE ICE CREAM
Free ice cream will be on offer as a charity event is held at Binks Restaurant Scoopshop in Abbey Court Yard.
Ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s is celebrating its 30th birthday on Tuesday by holding a Free Cone Day. In return for their free scoop, customers will be invited to make a donation to charity.
The day could end up tasting extra sweet for one person who is also celebrating their 30th birthday this year.
The winner of a competition run by Ben and Jerry’s will win a birthday party delivered to their office, including ice cream, party treats and goodies for up to 100 people.
A spokeswoman for Ben and Jerry’s said: “If it’s your big birthday this year then you could get in on the act by winning your own birthday ice cream party for you and your office. We?ve scoops and scoops of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream to give away to one lucky birthday boy or girl and their colleagues.”
To be in with a chance of winning, answer the following question: How old will Ben and Jerry’s be this year? 10, 20 or 30?

Credit card companies do care who you are, because they need to know your credit history. Obviously if I signed up for a credit card under a false name and then ignored the bill, that would be stealing. But, in an imaginary scenario where the credit card company could still get my real credit rating, could still reliably send me a bill and contact me if it wasn’t paid, yet merely thought my name was something other than it this, then no, I’d have no problem with that.
A few thousand years’ trend toward monogamy doesn’t erase the instincts evolved over the previous millions. Society is more emotionally willing to send men to early death than women, and mark7’s explanation is the reason.
and so it goes. you didn’t think the people who made the offer didn’t have a plan for the info…step 3 - profit!
Can we please let ten year-old boys just be ten year-olds without making a federal case out of it. It ain’t like they were going to assassinate the president. They were getting a few free ice creams. There is a difference.
Isn’t the ill-gotten ice cream the “damages?”
If not damn near impossible.
Right. And Ann Coulter should sign up right now. Since Cpl. Sanchez cannot legally serve, she needs to take his place.
Scary, it’s not just US citizens either! Starship Troopers is more accurate than I thought.
It is not possible for children to commit fraud. That is, they are children, minors. They are assumed to be less able to understand the requirements. Yes, the kids did something wrong, a rather minor thing of trying to get ice cream. The wrong that the government is committed is irrelevant to that.
That’s what’s wrong with America. That question right there.
Our monogamous lifestyle makes this point moot.
They recently upped the enlistment age to 42. I’m sure, given her dedication to the cause, they would make an exception for her. Think of Yankee Doodle Dandy, but starring a transvestite.
All right! I’m going to go right now and contact my… wait I have Hutchinson and Cornyn.I know what they stand for already.
