it was almost as embarrassng

A long (well at 19 three weeks was) and fruitless pursuit of the unatainable.

BYO The reservation policy is...er...'haphazard' but it is truly part of the experience. Desperately trying some diary rearrangement.

I amy be taking this a bit too literally, but I'd not waste the first 3 weeks trying to get into Alison **********'s knickers

Apologies to Postie, I overestimated how much dog poo you could get in an A4 letter envelope.

All research? Anyway, good. Some of us have less faith in academic research in many areas. Look at academic researches' general view and belief on the 'Family' in say 1972 if you want to see a load of politically driven codswallop for instance. I'll stick with my own path, cheers.

....I love East Dulwich but 'very cool and trendy'??? Mmmm.

...and that's meant to make me challenge my structured, bourgeois thought processes? I'll stick with commonsense and parental 'consensus' rather than academics and theorists thank you.

But i'm just stopping themselves from being themselves, as that mum in Goa leaving her 15 year old with a load of druugies in Goa would have said...

I think 5 year olds are pretty incompetent at a lot of things.

In my opinion. The root cause of the clash of opinion asides from the theoretical asides and the perv-paranoia. Is that many (most?) of those who have regular contact with a reasonable sample of 5 year olds find it very, very difficult to believe that any 5 year old has sufficient cycling skills, developed balance & coordination, road sense, spatial awarness and experience to cycle to school solely chaperoned by an 8 year old, we are joined in this intolerance by both the Local Authority and the national guidelines on cycling (sorry don't know who they are by but posted earlier). No we've not assessed the individual 5 year olds capability (and the parents have, agreed) and our sample of 5 year olds is relatively small but it still feels pretty unlikely and I think that's expressed in the doubt of even supporters on here.

No surprises there

Oh the terribly intolerant Brits...try being a bit different in a small German town say? Or in mainstream France? Or Italy.....liberal cultural cringe strikes again

New nets up too....this and Toy Story 3s imminent release is making my summer.

I was mugged. I watched ITV HD for the England V US game and missed the England goal.

Er, isn't ED a suburb?

I've been blonde recentlyish....led to my favourite ever comment at Immigration Stern Aussie immigration officer looking at my passport photo - sensible cut, dark hair; and me, spikey bleached crop. "So sir, do blondes have more fun?" I came back with "Not when my mum sees me", which I thought was 6/10
