They are all penalties.

Mine is a mere holiday dalliance born of laziness and now losing its appeal

ok. I'm now 1/10 on, Mick (odds pedant).... and Evens that I'll be with beard -my own, not the poster.

We chatted with house manager Cherif who had the air of someone who had done this for years, and loved every minute of it. Cherif in kitchen: 'We've a right pair of patronising yuppie twats in the corner by the gents.'

Stop flying on holiday. Sorted.

No. He's suggesting that schools for this area shouldn't just be Academies - which have poorer records and I suspect negligble mixtures of different classes as, hey surprise, middle class 'socialists' on the whole don't follow their 'heatrfelt convictions'- to the detriment of their kids educaton.. And maybe we can then get some schools that benefit EVERYONE who lives in our area....where does MM ever say these schools would be fpr middleclass kids only? It may be an unpalatable truth but 'middleclass' schools do tend to do a fair bit better than those in more deprived areas for a whole host of reasons including 'pushyness', apirations, home environment, discipline ...which is nothing to do with inherent differences in intelligence. Go and ask motivated, singleparent working class mum's with bright kids if they'd like a bit more than the 'acadamies' available locally I'd put away your sociology text book and go and look at some Ofsted reports...

To move off topic (as it's not the Drawing Room) I think this thread is a fine example of why the Lounge is a far better place for debate than the Drawing Room...Content, participation, frequency etc

and that phrase "Weapons of mass destruction" was a good'un too

No, Reggie try and get beyond a knee jerk response like that and read what MM and others are saying... but the academies that have been targeted at inner city areas have poorer results...of course there was a system that used to deliver a great education for working class and middleclass kids together at one time and were reducing the number of kids going to private school.... but that was deemed 'elitist' in the 1960s and thus scrapped - although not a in a few areas which funnily enough deliver the best state academic results in the country
