Hahaha OMG - that is so embarrassing for the guy. Damn imagine having to get up in court after being caught doing something like that. For the price of the travel he could have got a crack whore - at least she'd be human.

I find imperial confusing because I moved to Canada when I was 9 and we did metric in school.

Why what's happened to their bile ducts? Have they been bred out or something?

SeamMcG - even though I wouldn't trust the Telegraph to ever print anything truthful, and I loved Lidl, I have recently heard reports of Lidl treating their warehouse and farm/processing staff really badly especially in Eastern Europe.

I haven't seen a white dog poo in years here. They still get them in Jamaica tho!

dAMN THAT WAS FREAKY!

I the first proper party in the 18 months I've been in ED for my 16 yr old a couple of weeks back with a dj and all her sullen mates walking around trying not to look interested in all the sullen youts she's invited. We used to have about 4 a year in my old flat but anyway this party was nice and tame with us grownups getting leggless in the kitchen and the kids taking ages to start dancing, but even tho we'd warned the neighbours we had the police called on us after a near-punch up with a neighbour who demanded we lock it off. We'd turned it down already after they'd complained so were glad when the police said it wasn't too loud and left us to it. Maybe that's why people round here don't have many house parties - too many moany kill joys.

Nice pics - and a suprisingly nice pub. It has a kind of tardis thing going on.

i think the plan sounds horrible, but why do you say the kids who hang about in the Friern and Etherow area are druggies or anti-social? I know a lot of them and they are just ordinary kids from the area. Please don't start you witch hunt scare tactics again as it may backfire and alienate the very people you need to get on board, ie local residents, some of whom happen to have teenage kids.

"Excuse my waffling but I think what I'm trying to say is that they dont have to hold you back too much, you can still enjoy adult things but in a slightly different way." Most def!

And neither did bringing them up mostly single handedly! I am glad I have managed to get through what was very hard at times, because like I said my kids are amazing and even though I've been broke for ages, I feel rich for having four kids aged and a granddaughter who look up to me and come to me for advice and support. i think the bottom line for feeling like kids are a blessing or just hard work depends on the amount of support you have and your propensity to post-natal depression.

Having post-natal depression twice didn't help either.

Haha, my thoughts exactly Sean!

I've been a mum for over 22 years and am glad my youngest has finally become more independent. I love the fact I had my kids young and that I have a granddaughter at an age other women are having their first kids, but I feel like i've been looking after other people for long enough and am champing at the bit now. I am a better grandma than I was a mum, but that's probably because I don't have to do it 24/7. I love haveing kids and my kids are all talented, amazing and beautiful people, but I'm glad I've now got more time to myself!

When we went last year we did the M4/M5 route, but I piled the estate car up with all the camping stuff just leaving enough room for my big daughter to help navigate, and the rest of my peeps went on the train. We left 3 hours before them and had enough time to unload, put up one of the tents and have a cup of tea, before I went to get them from the station. It was a lot quicker than I'd expected. damn my spelling has gone to crap!

Hpe you don't mind, I'm going to nick the post for facebook!

My favourite bible passage is 1 Corinthians 7 where Jesus says that sex is a gift from God, and no man or woman should deny their spouse bodily pleasure (i'm paraphrasing of course).

Thanks Citizen - can't beleive Mr SMcG could forget us! The dog is a staff/pit type, not rottie - but he's sweet as a lamb, but is also a walking dustbin, so dangerous to unwatched food!

It was in response to this: "though the criminal justice system - and other parts of the law - have often in the past used 21 as the cut off (e.g. youth custody vs. adult prison). Have we somehow drifted over the years from 21 to 18 then 16 as the marker of adulthood? Is this sensible? "

Lets build a high wall, with metal detectors and bouncers around ED and keep the riffraff out!

The kids we are talking about are hardly in the same league as the kind of career criminals you are talking about.

"In Scotland the age of [criminal] responsibility is eight years, In England and Wales and Northern Ireland the age of responsibility is ten years and in the Netherlands and Canada, the age of responsibility is twelve years. Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway all set the age at fifteen years. In most of the US states, the age varies between states but is normally not lower than 7 years. In Belgium, it is eighteen years. As the treaty parties of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court could not agree on a minimum age for criminal responsibility, they chose to solve the question procedurally and excluded the jurisdiction of the Court for persons under 18 years" stolen from wikipedia.

compulsory embroidery classes?

Verbal dribble!
