Question for Abbotswood / St Francis Estate people
Loz replied to Loz's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Had a look - can't see it still. Can't find a panel, either. Mine is a rear facing kitchen. -
I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I personally think it is the most appalling state-sponsored, institutionalised sexual discrimination. I'm not sure how you can come to any other conclusion, really.

Since no one guessed - they are the colleges that the five candidates for the Labour leadership attended. There was no non-Oxbridge educated candidate. So it's hardly the LibDems that have a mainly Oxbridge educated leadership. Not by a long shot. So sneering at the education credentials of one party is a little hypocritical.

I'm sorry, but that is just irrelevant. Are you really say that a single event that may have been up to 16 years ago should govern the well being of a child today? Rubbish. The child/ren should go to the parent that is best able to care for it/them and with legally enforceable significant contact arrangements for the other parent. If the courts have an underlying assumption that the mother is the best fit and work from there, then that is plain and simple sexual discrimination. And then following that piece of sexual discrimination, a few years later the PM comes in and kicks you while you are down. Brilliant.

Though probably the view of the family court as well (sadly), that theory is rubbish in so many ways. And damaging to the child.

I think it was a pretty insensitive day to make that attack. Father's Day is there to celebrate fathers and going for such a subject when so many 'absent' fathers are actually being denied seeing their own children is pretty heartless. Yes, there are fathers out there that abandon and run and they should be made to pay for their offspring. But Cameron should be supporting fathers' rights to see their children.

You're right MP - the coalition have been open to be ripped apart over the past few week with the number of u-turns and contradictory announcements, but Ed has pretty much failed to capitalise. Balls tried, but his VAT suggestion was shot down in flames PDQ. I think the problem is that Ed's thinking in regards to cuts and reforming isn't far enough away from what the coalition is doing. Painting a picture of "same, but different" is not easy, so I think he's opted to sit on his hands and see what happens. He should learn from Cameron, though - he tried that trick at the last election when he had an open goal to shoot at and it didn't really pay off, which is why there is a coalition now.

Close. Very close.

Wimpey, I believe. -

Does anyone know where the main water stopcock is in their house? I've been in my house over 10 years and never found it. The only one I can locate is the one buried in the driveway that you need one of those long wrench keys to use. I assume all these house layouts are roughly the same, so any help will be much appreciated.

It may or may not be true that employees are less likely to leave their jobs, I guess that employers that want to get rid of the dead wood find it a lot harder to do in a unionised environment, meaning a lot of money wasted on poor employees.

Analizing? You've been watching too much porn, tarot. ::o I reckon analizing and criticising at the same time is pretty brave. How does that work? "Arse? You call that an arse?"

You mean DJKQ isn't Dave Cameron? Damn. I thought I'd sussed him out.

Is that real poverty or the I-can't-afford-new-Nikes-but-the-bloke-next-door-can relative poverty? And, if it is real poverty, is that as percentage or number of people (and thus not taking population growth into account).

... as opposed to just letting 'stuttering' companies go to the wall, with the loss of all jobs. That'll really improve people's living conditions.

Do you know what else? They all ate chips inside a one month period before murdering someone. Ban chips, I say. Or you could maybe just not mistake correlation for causation.

Ahh - the magic 'tax evasion' number. This seems to vary between a few billion to over a hundred billion a year, depending upon who is making it up at the time. Between that and the amazing Robin Hood tax, they are touted to solve every financial problem going. What financial crisis? Huzzah!

"First they came for the bullies and I didn't speak up..." would be more like it. It's pretty clear that the RMT is abusing the process, so that process will probably have to change. The RMT spoil it for the rest of the more reasonable unions, so that when a legitimate grievance arises it will become a harder process. Personally, I think a 50% turnout rule will be imposed. I'd also like to see strikes on tubes and main transport lines outlawed, if for no other reason than to drive the RMT out of business.
