  1. I think the only loner is Axeman...I mean who would ever want to go for a drink with such a vile person?
  2. The charity tag is meanigless anyway (and probably only for tax purposes). It costs 14K a year to send a kid to Alleyn's.
  3. oh feck off you illiterate moranic troll tarot.......
  4. I dunno but are you are troll tarot cos you sure as feck add nothing to any discussion.
  5. Went to the Actress tonight, gerat atmosphere, great range of beer and cider on tap, loved the wine on tap and very reasonable prices. Pizza was excellent too. One niggle was the time spent waiting to be served early on but otherwise a great time was had by all of my merry footy gals. In fact I think we were the last to be thrown out lol.
  6. Ditto strawbs. I've lived in the area for 20 years and have absolutely no desire to live elsewhere.
  7. I would say that the more fear a religion indoctrinates into those unfortunate enough to be born into it, the more sucessful it us...but only because of the guilt and fear it instills in it's followers (ususally the fear of being ostricised from a community or heaven). And if we take Islam....there are several countries where it's inhabitants have no option but to follow Islamic tradition with unhappy consequences if they don't. It used to be the case for Catholic countries too but thankfully Catholic rule was destroyed some time ago.
  8. But there clearly ARE things wrong with class sizes of 35 or more children H and there clearly IS something wrong with a curriculum that delivers so many illiterate children. Other European countires do better than us on this. The evidence of this is blatent for all to see and to dismiss any criticism of the state school system and it's curriculum and teaching methods as invalid is nonsense. I'll give you an example of something else that goes on. I have one friend who teaches in a college for 16 years olds upwards. He is given pupils whose only motivation for being there is the money they get from the state for going. They are never going to pass the course they are on but he still has to try and teach them. The consequence is that those who do want to learn suffer because of the disruption caused by those that don't. From the college itself...he has been told that he must pass everyone that stays the course because the college needs the funding it gets for every pupil that passes. So worse than that you have young people with qualifications they haven't earned presenting themselves to employers, only for employers to find thay aren't qualified at all if they employ them. THAT is prevalent in the UK. THAT is a failed education system, create by the politicians and the teachers that enforce it. It fails pupils and it fails employers. Of course there has been a culture shift too which has made teaching harder. Discipline and the ability of teachers to discipline has fallen apart (something the new coalition aer seeking to address). But enough better off children still do so well (in schools that use traditional teaching methods incidently) as to make the gap unnacceptable.

  16. Specialist topics: lesbianism and crew cuts Previously known as: in the closet Reason for Ban/Trolling: demanding an apology from Admin Length of Ban: 3 mins self imposed Grounds for appeal: My posts in a lesbian thread should not have been deleted as I am in fact a lesbian. AOB: cue the Artful Dogger, Mic Mac and Woof and clique wars *my account got hacked by Ladymuck and she disclaims any knowledge of any thread or post ever by DJKQ*

  21. Ah now Port Salut is French and they are a republic so it must be classless cheese.....;-)
  22. Can you give an axample of a single poster that has posted in any way that shows they knowingly break the law? By your reasoning because someone else breaks the law you should be able to as well..... You are beraking the law and you've been dumb enough to tell everyone about it in a forum. A previous poster has reported you to the RSPACA who may well now use the law to ask the forum for info (you email address) so they can trace your IP to your address and then prosecute you......well done schmuck.
  23. Pearson you are breaking the law...end of. Hope you like the massive fine or worse still prison and criminal record you are inviting on yourself.
  24. hmmmmm...cheese.....I love it, eat tons of it......and did you know that a triangle of laughing cow lite on a piece of celery is the ideal mid morning snack for the weight conscious person.
  25. That's true...soldier can be defined as someone who works for a cause. But just to look at the lyrics from the view of poetry (forget religion for the moment) gives a different perspective. The poet has made metaphorical comparisons to military symbolism, using works like marching, and war. If this were a poetry class, we be told to ask why the poet chose to use those symbolic comparisons. It's an analogy that the poet has purposefully chosen. In that repsect H's arguement has plenty of merit. It may not be the only reasoning but it's certainly a valid one, and not lost on those that have chosen to adpot it for such purposes. Jerusalem however, started life as a poem by William Blake. Wiki says: The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by his uncle Joseph of Arimathea, travelled to the area that is now England and visited Glastonbury.[2] The legend is linked to an idea in the Book of Revelation (3:12 and 21:2) describing a Second Coming, wherein Jesus establishes a new Jerusalem. The Christian church in general, and the English Church in particular, used Jerusalem as a metaphor for Heaven In the most common interpretation of the poem, Blake implies that a visit of Jesus would briefly create heaven in England, in contrast to the "dark Satanic Mills" of the Industrial Revolution. Analysts note that Blake asks four questions rather than stating a visit to be true. According to this view, the poem says that there may, or may not, have been a divine visit, when there was briefly heaven in England. But that was then; now, we are faced with the challenge of creating such a country once again. Again it's very much a poem of it's time. Blake saw the mills and factories as the enslavement of millions in poor conditions and he was railing against that as much as creating any idea that England would be a place of biblical importance. It was originally adopted as a socialist anthem by the workers and unions, but with the onset of WW1 became adopted as an anthem of what England was fighting for. Again, it's use has no clear perspective or perhaps relevance today, but at least the poet knew very much what he was saying at the time he wrote it.
