Does anyone else have strange things that they do?

I've been lying in bed for about 1/2 hour just looking on the net on my phone before I nod off, the strange thing though is that I'm lying on my side with my arm sticking up towards the ceiling .

I have funky joints so it's not uncomfortable but it'll just hang there till I fall asleep, it's something I've always done but I have just realised that it's pretty strange.

Am I the only one that thinks the family is involved with the case of that little kid going missing in Edinburgh?

First thought that came to my head

 

 

THE body was discovered before midnight on Friday as police searched a house in Kirkcaldy which REPORTEDLY belongs to Mikaeel Kular's aunt

 

I've emphasised the reportedly bit. However, if true, they should be hanged.  That poor boy.

Not at all, I imagine that is most peoples first thoughts, including the Police, It usually is the family, or someone connected (friend / relative).

Ah, I answered the previous post before seeing this. Awful news. His mother has been detained.

that's the complication with teaching kids to stay safe and 'stranger danger' and all that, it's usually somebody they know

 

my missus' work is loosely linked with this field and supporting kids in problem post codes etc., she called this one straight away

I can only imagine that's a largely thankless job with not many perks bar the odd success story.  Fair play to her and those like her!

Many of the parents identified for some form of direct help think 'they', the helpers, interfere and hate the parents and just want to mess up families.

There is no hard and fast way of statistically proving you've improved anyone's lot in life in the short term. It takes years to prove giving women self esteem courses or giving boys car mechanics courses can do anything but look like do goodery at tax payers expense.

 

Cases where it goes wrong are obvious, get massive publicity and potentially end the career of somebody that improved things for dozens of kids over tens of years.

 

How do you prove an intervention, big or small, saved a kid's life? How do you prove that taxes spent on adult literacy and home economics courses for current partners of girls with babies saves lives? 

 

Thankfully, my missus isn't at the sharp end, she's not making big decisions, but bloody hell I have to say the risks people take with their own career and well being to try and help others is just incredible - not just social workers but all manner of midwives, nurses, play specialists, intervention officers, adult educators, parole officers the whole lot.

 

One of the tasks within her office, for those working from the office and not out in the field is to constantly phone the staff that do house calls with 'messages'. Those messages are usually junk, it's just making sure that female that's going to houses with histories is still able to pick up the phone.

 

None of the above is relevant to the current case, just putting it out there.

 

If only they did £90 haircuts instead, they'd get a **** medal.

What do you think about my blog on why I have fallen out of love with football?

 

http://itsaboutarchie.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/why-have-i-fallen-out-of-love-with-the-beautiful-game/

 

It's a good piece and I'd be fibbing if I didn't agree that my passion for the current Villa team has slipped. I still love Aston Villa and my memories of Villa. Standing on a single tier Holte seeing the collective breath of thusands rising as we chant for this or against that. But to be honest, I can't be arsed to spend my money travelling to see someone else's agenda played out, slipping limply out of a cup we aren't fussed about or surrendering to minor european teams rather than squad rotate and all that shit of the last ten years. Lending our players to Notts County and then borrowing players of Chelsea. I mean, that's just ridiculous manipulation so easily stopped. The point on referees and in particular the disgrace of the yellow in the cup final as the ref 'didn't want to spoil the game', yes, that pretty much did for me. Right up to last night, the cheat Shearer condoning Suarez cheating just shows the poor state and lack of discipline and self respect. First time I've watched MOTD in a while, I'll not bother again for a while. Epert analysis that a goalie going for the ball is stupid, a cheat diving is natural. Nice view on life there.

 

But that's Premiership money football.

 

Get yourself a non-league team and actually get involved, contribute to the matchday programme, clean the litter from a stand, sponsor a player's shorts for £20. Your love will return.

 

P.S. - the current little avatar thingy of mine is no accident

Very much my thoughts as well. Hence I enjoy the closed leagues with salarycaps alot more. Never thought that would happen. NFL and NHL being the prime examples. You can turn a horrible team around in 2-3 years with smart coaches, the way it should be.

I've been following the Buccs for about 18 months now, I am still getting used to the rules and such, but enjoy the games!

 

( I don't talk in the NFL forum because everybody knows so much more and I don't understand half of what is being said!)

 

I still love Villa :) it's just football... I find it so hard to enjoy (I am putting together an edit for FM14 where all teams have equal finances) :) I still enjoy FM so it'll just be an exciting way to play.

Very much this. 

 

But it's OT for OT.

You don't understand the rules of NFL?

You throw the ball that isn't a ball and then spend ten minutes discussing who's going to throw the ball that isn't a ball next.

 

I get that, but there appear to be different calls and areas of play - other than that I enjoy the game (more so than football!). :)
