My Paddy cat got run over 2 weeks ago, but miraculously 400 quid later he is ok! Thank god for pet insurance!!!
Tic, my heart sank when I saw your town on Tv last night. I am glad to see you are ok. X
I lived in a highly multi cultural town for 13 years (Luton), I have worked with and befriended many Muslim people along the way and in my time have discussed at length some of the cultural and religious differences that they have with myself. I have learnt that the Islamic faith is one of peace and respect and therefore as Christians we have to understand and educate ourselves that the ludicrous attacks on the western world come from radical extremists who true Muslims find abhorent. It is understandable that resentment has grown within the various communities that live side but side, and this is due to the fact that modern culture is to bury your head in the sand and remain ignorant to what is new around you – and that is something ALL sides are guity of! I have a friend called Siara who is Pakistani by origin and who lives in the UK and she once told me that the whole Burka thing is ridiculous, she told me that they are uncomfortable to wear and that most women who wear them do so under the instruction of their husband or male relatives and that given a choice they would usually not opt to wear them, and there is no religious reasoning behind them.
So that said the arguement that banning them could infringe on human rights, we have to consider if human rights are already being infringed in making women wear them in the first instance.
Secondly, in certain places you are not allowed to wear any headgear… shopping centres have banned caps for example, as these pose a security risk, and the same can certainly be said of the Burka! So why one rule for one and another for someone else??If my daughter went to school dressed like a nun she would be sent home for breach of the uniform regulations, or less dramatic if she wore a crucifix she would be made to take it off, so how come girls can wear scarves ?
I am all for live and let live, and a diverse population, but in these times where are terrorism and uncertainty I strongly agree with a ban on the Burka in public places where it poses a security risk
watching CSI :D

2) hello Melody!!! I miss you on chat :(
3) Clap Clap to the Government who have allowed the unnecessary additives and preservatives to flow free in modern food which has contributed Massively to adolescent Obesity and depression. All in the Name of Greed(import/Export)Slightly controversial yes!
Proven.. once again.. these preservatives have been linked to increase risk of Reproductive abnormalities, Testicular cancer, prostrate disorders and sperm abnormalities in prepubertal Children. The overwhelming cases of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorders) have been noted and linked to excessive consumption of preservatives (poor diet.. Junk food etc)So although a piece of pie :wink: or cake is a lovely treat…. I feel that there needs to be a dramatic increase in preservative and additive awareness moving forward.
After all… these children are our future :shock:
Hello Chikka xxx :D
Ok so getting back to the point…
I want to know how schools can ban certain items from lunch boxes and then at high school, put a vending machine in the canteen full of the stuff!

1. Learn how to spell and mean ‘albeit’ properly,
2. ‘Tardy’ isn’t synonymous with tardation; ‘tardy’ specifically means late of attendance, your children are retarded by global human intelligence standards anyway, if I can judge adequately by the mother’s genes (your viciously horrible grammar.)
3. If they played out any more even black children would have better scores in international math Olympiads. It’s already a travesty that we Asians started beating the Americans roughly three decades ago.None of this matters; I never ate at school, and I still did better than everybody else; I would’ve done better than everybody else if the times changed, and I will do better than everyone else. It’s just in my supreme nature that is higher than yours. No amount of nutrition will cure your children’s stupidity; not just Melody’s but I mean everybody’s generally.
tar·dy (tärd)
adj. tar·di·er, tar·di·est
1. Occurring, arriving, acting, or done after the scheduled, expected, or usual time; late.
2. Moving slowly; sluggishI rest my case.
