I hate the double standards of society and the nasrty things Ellie has been called.

She's young, perfectly acceptable I think

The song ed sheeran don't is about her

Got a link?

According to my dd the reason Ed wrote the song is that he thought they were in a relationship, told people etc and she denied it and had a thing with the OD boy. I don't think it was because she had a couple of flings it's was because he was 'played' and was hurt.

LottieMumofWilfJenkins · 24/09/2014 07:35

I heart Ed Sheerhan and was very sad that he was hurt by EG. He lives very locally to me and dontated lots to local charities.

LottieMumofWilfJenkins · 24/09/2014 07:35

dontated donated

PourquoiTuGachesTaVie · 24/09/2014 07:36

Need a link too please.

VivaLeBeaver · 24/09/2014 07:36

I think the OD boy is turning into a Russell Brand wannabe player. So she's unreasonable for that. But otherwise I agree.

mls3 · 24/09/2014 07:41

Lottie he has made millions, donations to local charities are probably mainly for tax reasons and personal benefit. Or maybe I'm cynical.

Google ed dont

Well she's been a bit stupid hasn't she? Nasty names for behaviour like that will always stick

Notagainmun · 24/09/2014 07:44

I thought EG was with one of Mc Fly?

LottieMumofWilfJenkins · 24/09/2014 07:46

Ed donated clothes and shoes and is Patron of the charities too!
It is one of McFly she is with Dougie Poynter!

mls3 · 24/09/2014 07:50

Gosh he gave some old clothes, he should get an obe for that charity work.

She is with mcfly guy now, she doesn't really get around that much its just only with other a listers

Please don't be cynical about tax relief on charitable donations.

For everybody £1 that a taxpayer gives to charity via Gift Aid, the charity receives an extra 25p from the government. The taxpayer gets up to 25p off his/her tax bill - but is still 78p worse off than if no donation were made.

It's true that some people have tried to abuse the Gift Aid scheme - but HMR has denied tax relief for every single one, and taken them to court if they didn't pay up.

Charities are losing out because of this (understandable) cynicism - but don't let the tax avoiders win by believing that all tax relieved charitable donations are automatically abusive.

CinnabarRed · 24/09/2014 07:52

78p??? 75p!

Trust me, I'm an accountant.... Grin

MokunMokun · 24/09/2014 07:58

I thought One Direction was a band?

Fenton · 24/09/2014 08:06

Wow you're a snarky little fellow this morning aren't you?

Will you be a bit nicer after a Brew

Fenton · 24/09/2014 08:10

^ to the OP obv

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/09/2014 08:13

Causal relationships only really work if both parties know it is casual, which ES apparently did not.

It was Niall from One Direction she had a fling with, not Harry.

I am ashamed that I know that Blush

trice · 24/09/2014 08:15

She can boff whomever she pleases. She isn't married. I love Ed but he does seem to be a romantic.

passmethewineplease · 24/09/2014 08:27

Nout wrong with casual relationships. The problems arise when one knows it is and the other party has invested in it.

I think I'd feel a bit hurt too tbh!

I'm more disappointed it was someone from 1D. Grin

GirlWithTheLionHeart · 24/09/2014 08:29

I thought she cheated ?

MokunMokun · 24/09/2014 08:31

Oh, so Ed and Niall were friends? I don't know, if I found out my boy friend was fucking my friend I'd be a tad pissed off not saying 'good on yer'.

I get a feeling the OP isn't an Ed Sheeran fan.

ZanyMobster · 24/09/2014 09:45

I love Ed Sheeran but regardless of that I don't actually think anyone really cares about people having flings male or female but people don't like people shagging around with their BFs mates, why should Ed be ok with it.

ZanyMobster · 24/09/2014 09:46

I cannot believe anyone can be that snarky about charitable donations, how nasty. Does that apply to all of us then?!

LadyLuck10 · 24/09/2014 09:48

No op, not all of us aspire to cheating around and thinking well done.

cherrybombxo · 24/09/2014 09:49

Poor Ed, he can come to me if he needs his broken heart mended Grin

I agree with the comments above, it's only "fair play" if both parties know what's going on. Being casual when someone else thinks your exclusive is pretty shitty.
