I don't know how widespread the practice is beyond that particular school but in my book it comes within the remit of clinical malpractice and child abuse.

Burnley where else

It is. The other half works at a school where some of the kids are permanently zonked out as a consequence of this. Not in Bolton I hasten to add.

Ribble Valley may be stunning. That's because the lazy bastards haven't bothered to grit. Just spent over an hour on the road clearing snow and ice in the time honoured fashion. Cnuts!

Odd thread - bit like asking which was the favourite disease you suffered.

Trouble is no politician will touch the child benefit issue as it is a potential vote loser. Pity nobody has the balls to come up with a policy of capping child benefits to a maximum of 2 children per family. Another benefit dodge that needs stopping is GP's concurring with parents that their child is hyperactive, prescribing them Ritalin for which parents get an extra £60 per child per week. .

Management here - just snatched ipad off better half...... Although Bolton is a dump I was very glad to see that The Olde Pasty Shop is still thriving

Presumably taking retail initiatives out of town?

Management visited her dad newly admitted to a town centre nursing home this week and afterwards went round the town centre for the first time in many months. Came home saying how depressing she found it. Middlebrook largely to blame?

To get the old spine tingling Bobby Hatfield doing Unchained Melody, The Neville Brothers version of Dylan's With God on Our Side and Dave Gilmour's second Riff on Comfortably Numb. Alternatively Pachelbel's Canon tickles the back of the neck as well.

Hendrix - Christmas on Earth revisited, Kensington Olympia '67 Floyd - Live eight 2005 most memorable gigs attended for me.

Shitty Link

+ 1 from me too.

Other Buggers Energy sums it up. Anyone on this site we could nominate? just about puts the awards into perspective.

14, suspect most will score highly on this.

Poxy little portions, can't understand why anyone prefers that shite over proper oats.

Jolly festivities to each and everyone.

8 fer me. plenty of obvious clues if you look for them on most of the grounds including strips worn.

Done. good luck with it.

Vile. Hanging drawing and quartering following genital removal with a blunt hacksaw is too good for that bastard.

Heilder Gudjonson

Not been a good few weeks for the pie men has it tee hee. Long may it continue... By the way does anyone know whether SG has topped himself yet ?

And again. Could virtually make the ball talk with that left peg.

Seem to be following a trend, slightly left leaning: -4.25 on the economic factor and -1.28 on the social lib scale. Reasonable assessment.

Try "ratedpeople.com" it was the only way I could get anyone when I wanted my parking area extended. The tradesmen who apply for your job pay a fee to the website upfront so they are interested which helps. The lads who came were keen and did a good job, albeit a bit above budget and a bit slower (2 days longer) than they said.
