    I'm more left wing now than I was when I was twenty. 

    Me too Moon Man. I think it's perhaps due to the way society and politics have 'progressed' (or rather regressed) since the late 70 that has stoked the inner injustice fire in me.

    it will always be shrewsbury but a lot of the older natives call it salop anyway. 

    Ah. That will be why the brewery there is called Salopian then! Those guys/gals do some top beers ....

  3. That Lucas is a real risk to National Security! Surely their should be prosecutions if the work of this unit is doing underhand things? The sad thing is, nobody will be in the least bit surprised by this. The only real surprise is that this info has got out ...

    By sheer force of intellect and debating skills I persuaded my new quiz team to change their answer on where the national railway museum was. They'd written York, I knew it was Swindon and got all 5 of them to come round to my answer.

    We lost by a single point.

    They have learnt the important lesson that one should not worship false gods :P

    I find it incredible that the tories have made such a monumental mess of stuff, and continue to do so, and yet the opposition isn't absolutely hammering them into the ground.

    How are they meant to do that Pete, when the vast majority of the media is in the pockets/sharing the same hymn book as Dave? For the people that own the various forms of media (not forgetting the BBC which appears to be 'owned' by Dave and his cronies at the moment), getting this Govt out and Jez in is the last thing they want. Why would they then be sympathetic to the Jez and Labour attacks on the govt?

    Jon I haven't looked into it yet but what grounds do you think there would be?

    Well, I thought they pretty much HAVE to get you into the school in your catchment, if that is what you out down as your first choice? If they are trying to send you to somewhere an hour or so away, then that is just lunacy. You could easily appeal on the grounds that you don't have the time or money to take your child that far. Say that you are going to write to your local MP or something. Kick up a fuss. Seems to be what genie did, and it worked for him ... 

    We didn't get any of our 3 choices (though we didn't apply to the school in our catchment area), but have ended up at a decent-ish school not too far away.

    Seems we are in a high birth year, which is a bit of a bummer for things like this ....

    Pretty sure this is OK to be pissed off about but I don't know where else to put it.

    Found out my 4yr old didn't get into the catchment school today. First time they have ever turned people away from within their catchment area. A lot of extra people applied which has surprised a lot of people. Obviously we had several back ups but we didn't get into any of those either. In our area the catchment school is pretty much your only option.

    Long and short of it is we are now faced with a 1hr commute twice a day or approx £550-800 per month on private school fees that I hadn't anticipated.

    So a pretty hefty pay cut or a cut in my available life hours.

    Balls...

    Massive grounds for appeal there.

    He had invited people on to the stage. He chose to launch two footed at a girl. I hope the word removed gets **** chinned. If that was my daughter i would be out looking for him. 

    who is it?

    EDIT: Ignore - I Mooney'd it.

    EDIT2: Seems Afroman did something similar (decked a female fan who was on stage) recently and got arrested for it. Could be something similar happen to Parker I guess. That kick and fall off stage could have broken limbs/neck etc. What a cockwomble

    Reminds me of that episode of Dr Who where Fat Kay played some kind of lard arse eating alien (playing himself in essence) that ate humans and you could see them in his skin

    Thanks for that, thankfully i don't think its that because when I pull my foreskin back I have never had pain in the past. I think its because it was done "aggressively" I am just avoiding doing any activity for a week then I will see if it still bleeds. If it does then I might have to go GP :bang:

    I've had it before Demmers. Overly aggressive 'shuffling' plus maybe slightly dry skin = chaffing = ouchville. Rest + maybe moisturiser should do the trick.

    Job interview candidate cancels. Fair enough, arranged again for this Monday.

    Comes interview time, no sign of her, no phone calls. Phone her up, so are you coming for this interview or what?

    "Oh yeah, do you have many applications, is is worth me coming in."

     

    "..."

     

    **** off love.

    Sounds like someone with zero confidence more than anything else
