that must be it….. or… it could be the storm due on monday

love you both loads, you are two of the sweetest kindest people I have ever encountered on the internet (have to add Wilma to that list too!)

Wee while since I’ve logged on here and saddened to read this post.Thoughts are with you both. Please pass on my warmest regards and sympathy at this time x

*hugs wilms*

I just wanted to thank Poet and Wilma for their kind words after the death of my mother. She was a lovely lady and I will miss her loads, the house seems so empty without her. I don’t know what I would have done without Poets help and support over the last 2 weeks, he has been my rock and for that I will always be grateful.

As kenty states, the police and authorities are totally unsympathetic to any woman who gets sexually assaulted or raped. The police say that she asked for too much money, or didn’t get paid and so is “crying rape”.…[Read more]

And this is the internet, so what she posted won’t be remembered for very long by very many. Those that do remember won’t really care.

no reason why any thread has to keep on track, momes, but you’re heroic in trying to bring arguments together..

Yes, 340 last I saw, tinks, and rising, I think…

but they are a bit mixed..my local news carried headlines of him sexually assaultng a local woman when she was 13, and it turned out to be a French…

sceptical guy, you are again saying its the girls fault, and they need controlling, when in fact what momentary loss was saying was more likely to be nearer the truth.

They need protecting… not blamed.

From my memory, underage girls were seen as part of the rewards for pop bands in the 60s. There was certainly plenty of opportunity.

I do hope that any allegations about Sir John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr, Sir Mick Jagger aren’t being covered up!

I’m sure none are made, though, as these gentlemen were…

It wasn’t that “anything went in them days” it was that people were very naive, and you could lose your job very easily on someone’s whim. We didn’t have all the employment laws that we have now, and so people within the BBC who knew what was happening wouldn’t have dared to say anything. This would have prevented the…

I hope this isn’t going to turn into some sort of Poli bashing thread

I wondered how long it would take before someone posted this. My money was on mims though…

and your point is?

Well, we are entering the Age of Aquarius… let us hope all change ends up being for the best.

I don’t normally hold with posting links but would rather type my own thoughts, however in light of this thread I thought this article from the Guardian quite apt at demonstrating how important it is not to undermine or belittle claims of sexual abuse.

I just don’t understand how people didn’t know. I was trying to remember a time when I didn’t know. Seeing some footage of top of the pops and clunk click etc reminds me of how uncomfortable the children used to look when with him. All you have to do is look at body language. Children are very good barometers. If a…[Read more]

Richard, who was not war like, but really a bit bookish, was framed.

Don’t get Richard III mixed up with Richard Madeley. :roll:

You obviously don’t read around subjects much or you would know that there are many really well thought of historical experts who believe that Richard III was innocent of the murder and that…[Read more]

There are too many things that do not add up if Richard was supposed to have killed them.

I’ll tell ya what bores me rubes.

Women saying that ALL MEN are cowards and don’t recognise Truth. The same women like Vee and Mims who pontificate endlessly on boards about what great mothers they are and how their golden female offspring are more important than life itself.

But….. how sucessful will it be? It will only work if everyone is updated regularly, and that relies on computers, and computers rely on human input, and we know how unreliable that can be. :)

In the UK its the VBS not the PVG, although not 100% sure of that. We are all being moved onto the register before 2015, so not sure when we have to apply to be registered yet. They still use the CRB checks…[Read more]

Interesting yet somewhat simplistic logic above.

Your statistics don’t account for the quality of the athletes.
The USA and China have an enormous pool of people to pick their athletes from so it stands to reason that theirs will be of a very high standard and thus monopolize the medals.
Would be interesting to know the percentage…

Stands to reason that the countries who throw the most entrants into the mix are likely to come out with more medals. Most of the European countries are up in the 1-2 hundreds, with Russia at 436.

Actually if you look at medals won versus amount of people taking…[Read more]
