  1. 4 months....that's still 8 months a year one can spend with one's family. I'd take it. ah the miopic self obsessed world of youth 4 months away from my kids? not a chance, I'm away 2 or 3 nights a week and that hurts
  2. background and environment are interesting along with all that nature and nurture theory personally, I grew up in quite a small place, to the point where my year in school didn't have enough boys for a football 11 and we had to borrow a couple of kids from the year below to make up the numbers but of my class, of the 9 boys in that class: 2 away for murder 1 away for stabbing 1 in and out for football / EDL related violence but I've never been to Rugeley
  3. Sorry Rimmy, I reported a few weeks back that I bought a pack of 4 'tree ripened' apples from M&S.
  4. If it's done discreetly the vast majority of people don't even realise its happening. I'm pro public breastfeeding of babies, but I can see how it's a bit on the edge for some people.
  5. keep us abreast of the situation
  6. I've done it a few times, it was a trick taught to me by one of my old bosses that really knew how to spend money. It usually works really well. You tend to get the dish they know is best that day and something you wouldn't automatically default to out of familiarity.
  7. if you can see Morrisons from our Bromsgrove office it's going to rain if you can't see Morrisons from our Bromsgrove office, it's raining
  8. There were a few yummy mummies in there that, if I wasn't so right on and PC and pro feminist would have right had it.
  9. Its different area to area but a lot of LEAs are transfering services over to Social Enterprise Companies. There is a lot of statutory "stuff" the LAs have to do but the agenda at the DfE is very much giving Head Teachers as much power as possible. This is almost universally a terrible idea. Sorry, are you suggesting that Head teachers lack the experience and business acumen to run an SME in order to turn a profit, tap into new and innovative revenue streams, anticipate changes in built environment demands that will only be finalised 2 months AFTER the time slot for appealing for funding closes, hit ever changing targets and KPI's and still offer a genuinely rounded education?
  10. words of advice for young people: if you find yourself in a well to do part of town (where the window frames are all painted heritage colours), if in that area you venture into a small local café where people are sitting reading actual newspapers and novels whilst talking to their builder about how the work is going..... DO NOT I repeat DO NOT say to the pretty girl at the counter that you don't know what to order, so just bring me something good, 'surprise me' you could end up paying £19.85 for a coffee and a salad, a very nice salad admittedly, but 15p change from a twenty for coffee and salad Having declared 'surprise me' and taking a seat with a flourish and joining the in crowd with my novel, I did notice that little pork pie sized quiches were £5 a pop and I did consider bailing out, but I didn't quite have the balls to declare my error. So I sat there and waited for my lovingly produced taster platter of everything from everywhere all around the world. Roasted parsnips, mung beans, cous cous, various sizes of various seeds, beans, pulses and sprouting stuff. Pommigranite bits, multi coloured leaves, a squirt of dark jelly stuff, a drizzle of orangey coloured stuff. Avocado, sweet potato, apple and whole baby carrots with a little green stem left on. Seriously impressive. But at the end of the day, salad. To be fair, I said surprise me. She fulfilled the original brief.
  11. it's not a proper breakfast without mushrooms they can also bring class to a hot dog
  12. Is there any back story behind this I don't know about? Haha there is a photo, there have been claims it was shopped but quite frankly if it was shopped it was the work of the same team that worked on 'Gravity' because it looks pretty real to me and just about everyone else
  13. condensed milk, butter, sugar and flavourings, originally made in Norwich but now made on Tyneside by Nestle what's not to like?
  14. To be fair to the guy and having now seen the photo, it must have been bad. His leg's gone black.
  15. If you remember a dream it means that you are waking too soon and you are either in or just coming out of that stage of sleep. If you don't remember it you have gone past the REM stage of sleep and therefore as Paddywack says you are waking at a comfortable stage. if you can remember a dream it means you died if you can't remember the dream it means you killed someone, in a sex way fact
  16. that water is freezing! I stuck my hand in to start a bit of a spring tidy up, surprisingly bloody cold
  17. mmmmmm I think you got it right Hitz I think you've been incorrectly spilling nazi'd and yes, I gauge a good one on whether they have rotring pens and scale rules
  18. it's getting that way, they were all lined up yesterday watching me paint the fence*, surprisingly off putting. if you move slowly you can touch them I expect I'll be on the news in 20 years time stood outside some magistrates court explaining 'things were different back then'. *not a euphemism
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDalJtno5Cc&feature=kp t'was on the radio earlier, now the neighbours are being given a noisy treat whilst I suck on a strong coffee and sit looking at the garden
  20. If you can be relatively sure of the weather, gravy browning is a cheap alternative, unless you sweat profusely, in which case it begins to look like a reverse shit as the white runs down your leg. Oh how I wish I'd just worn my trusty crotchless jogging tights under my shorts at that fateful Shitterton fun run.
  21. No, a comic is funny, a graphic novel is a comic with no jokes which can be bought upstairs in Forbidden Planet, a shop that actually smells of slack teenage hygiene.
