Belated sense wins out.  Who the **** selected her in the 1st place? Were they not aware of her nutjob tendencies, or did they agree with them?

You won't force it on them but you'll allow it to go unchallenged for 6 hours a day whilst the kids are in school?

We're in a similar tricky situation with our daughter Bicks. She got placed in a C of E school. I wasn't massively bothered, and we did point out we weren't religious. Bu they do lay it on quite heavily I think. Wife phoned me at work this morning with to report an amusing chat she'd has this morning on the way to school with our daughter. They were discussing trust apparently, and who they trusted the most. My daughter said God.

I think we might have to have 'the chat' with her at some point. At the moment I view it as quite harmless, a bit like the tooth fairy or father Xmas. I think it'll die out when her belief in those things does too ....

What? What do you believe in that should point you towards religion? I'm just trying to imagine what actually points people towards irrationality and the completely illogical?

Drugs, I would wager in this case.

Release date is 23rd Feb. How did you guys get it early? Were they selling them at a gig or something?

That’s more the 30’s crowd trying to convince themselves and the world they are “crazy”.

I’m talking about this 50’s Mother in Laws and other relatives who clearly spend their entire day refreshing the news feed and commenting useless shit on everybody they knows posts.

You have the wrong 'friends' on FB. Or just block their feed. Why read their crap when you don't have to?

My mate is getting married today, poor fella. Im his groomsman 

Apparently the best man and I were too rowdy yesterday at the rehearsal and then the dinner. 

The brides parents didn't warm to me as they're "uptight" as my mate told me. I'll admit that I was a bit pissy but that was because the groom and I were solving an 'emergency' every 5 minutes all afternoon. We weren't allowed to go get food cos there was so much still to do so I got on the beers. 

Anyway a lot of people come up to me and said I didn't do anything wrong but cos the brides upset im in the bad books. 

If it wasn't a wedding I'd tell these uptight in laws to ............................ but seeing as it is a wedding I'm going to be on my best behaviour. 

Still doesn't stop me being jacked off at being judged so quickly. Especially as the brides parents did f-all to help yesterday afternoon. 

I got married last year cos I love my Mrs, however it doesn't change my view which is weddings are quite simply a stupid idea!

Rehearsal? Is this a celebity or royal wedding? Or just an excuse for 2 pissups?

What’s class got to do with it? If you’re proved to a burden on healthcare pressure, you should pay for it. People need a deterrent from wasting the nhs time, charging for self inflicted harm is entirely fair I believe. Especially getting too pissed and needing stomach pumping or attention for fighting injuries.

A genuine wow post. Jeremy C Hunt would agree with this though. Almost as right wing as you could get.

"Self inflicted harm". Often the result of mental health issues. Charge all mental health patients? What about sports esp 'dangerous' sports players. Charge them when they get injured. Injured or lost fell/mountain walkers? Charge them. Boozers/smokers/fast food eaters - charge 'em.

etc.

"People need a deterrent". Jebus.

I failed for a stupid reason too.

The test went amazingly, on our way back to the test centre. In Lichfield there's this stupid roundabout that has a pedestrian crossing literally on the roundabout. Stupid **** design. I'd be driving (with parents) in Lichfield for 17 years and never once seen this crossing be red.

It was red, I didn't see it. Examiner slammed the breaks. Game over.

Failure to see a red traffic light doesn't really qualify as a 'stupid reason' Stef.

You think I haven't tried this. She has come on about 6 or 7 doubke dates for me this is first for me. Im screwed

That should do it.

The worst thing about is she wants me to go again!! How the hell do I get out of this? 

"No."

I find some zebra crossings a nightmare TBH, as a driver. Badly placed, badly lit. When it's dark outside, it's often difficult to spot someone standing at them.

Should I have been looking to leave the country every time the Tories won a General Election?

It's a silly premise. As others have said.

The hope is that Brexit either doesn't happen, or is steered in the direction of doing as little harm as possible. That means staying about and applying pressure. People disagreeing with Brexit leaving en masse, before it's even happened, is nonsense, for a variety of reasons.
