Toy, if i didn’t know better i’d say you disliked women.

hmmm, maybe you do

the labour government did not keep a close enough eye on its financial situation, it spent money like water and didn’t curb spending at all. They were locked into expensive armed forces bills in two wars that very few Brits ever wanted. They set up public spending initiatives which saw fat cats get fatter. They skimmed off the top of all deals…[Read more]

More than this: Roxy Music

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they’re blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?

More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there is nothing

It was…[Read more]

If you were dying or seriously ill and didn’t know what the outcome of your diagnosis would be….would you keep it from your loved ones?
Obviously if your disease didn’t take a fast hold over your body and you didn’t look ill on the outside it would be possible, otherwise there comes a point when you don’t need to tell anyone,…

They tried to justify the war by saying Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. They had been quite happy to deal with him, and have him over for tea then suddenly they wanted to get rid of him.

Oil

No more nor less… they did it to get their hands on his oil.

I imagine there will be a few Iraqi’s who were glad that Saddam was killed. But it…[Read more]

You, of course are always going to be super special to me :wink:

Does that mean they will have to use Vegemite for their next election campaign?

Ok, Ok, I’ll admit it, it was me. I would like to apologise for the unoriginality of my chat up lines, but in my defence, I was only using all the lines that had been used to me during the time I have been visiting JC.

And kenty, SusieQ, eve and cath, you will always be special to me. :D

*gropes kenty’s behind*

Happy Birthday you old queen. Hope it was a good one xxx

Chances… by Athlete

Take all your chances while you can
You never know when they’ll pass you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain

It’s all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can’t calculate
I need some more of you to take me over

Take me over

If I had the chance to start…[Read more]

Teachers certainly do coach for success at exams. Like I say, I don’t blame them. I’ve had many a friend tell me stories of how the grapevine communicating the ‘flavour’ of the upcoming tests works. The brighter kids go in to tests having a fail-safe selection of essay answers ‘rote’ learnt.

Yes it’s called past papers…

And leaving aside the question of whether the internet is making us shallower, I do wonder if it is making us less friendly, less aware of the people we encounter? Anyone who has ever contributed to a blog knows how ferocious, nasty and malicious electronic responses can be – depersonalised and anonymous, too. People write things via electronic…

So panda’s shlt in the wood?

She actually checked up and down the road to make sure nobody was coming before she put the poor thing in the bin! There is no excuse. She cannot say she did it as a joke, it was definitely done with cruel deliberation. I hear the police have had to put her in protective custody.

Has Youtube taken over as modern day stocks?

most doctors that come onto the wards are practically useless until they get experience on the job panda. Same goes for all the other jobs you mention. They do a certain amount of time in university studying before they let them loose on the wards, and then they start their real learning. As for vets, engineers etc etc. The same thing…[Read more]

I agree with a lot of what has been said on this thread. Taking up a point poli made about well rounded human beings… i agree, to have children turn into adults who take a pride in themselves and whatever they decide to do is worth more than any academic qualification. And let’s not forget that having academic qualifications does not guarantee…[Read more]
