if you said "you look like an indian" would that be ok? Don't indians often consider them selves better than people from pakistan? I work with 2 indians, and they are completely hung up on each others caste. Can someone from Pakistan let me know how they would feel about this?

if Berlossconi is funding it, it will probably for blonde haired friends of his who are female and look like models.........

what about the silent stinker? dont wash and pxss your pants but look fairly normal, gradually everyone gets off the bus- or moves away- then someone like me gets on and thinks - ooh plenty of space at the back, go and sit down and then realize why and everyone else avoids eye contact with you. then you have to try and sit out the rest of the journey without breathing...........

i think if having people over for a day is one thing, but our relatives were flying down form scotland and would want to stay 4 days and i felt very uncomfortable about having to consider them, and they were similarly unhappy to be wrapped up in the birth plan.

poor you . my son was due 14th dec, but was born 29th dec. it was a planned home birth, the christmas i had planned fell apart as giving birth you usually feel you want to be alone- think animal finding a quiet spot and getting on with it. the thought of having to think about anyone else is not easy. one thing is for sure you have to have flexible plans.you may well have your baby early. i would think about one of those novotels- the one near lambeth bridge?

man

you could use honey - but not sure if that is what you are aiming for?

we have has success with bikes, boats, and other specialist items. i have sold other things on gumtree- it is free. but it all takes time and effort- taking photos etc that i think if you can sell it via a shop window etc it must be easier- or an upmarket car boot? still some people seem to love it and if you enjoy it then give it a whizz, but as others have suggested try and get your rating up first.

I think a lot of this depends where you come from.30 years ago as child of working class parents I went to Polytechnic to train for a job, as did partner - an engineer.Our parents would not have supported us to do a degree in History or English - as we needed to "get a job at the end". We were not encouraged to be educated for the sake of it, but to get a job. Now from the luxury of having made it to being fully middle class I would say yes do a History degree if you want, whilst partner would say absolutely no to a physics or chemistry degree- as "there will be no job at the end". Some degrees like English might teach you skills for life- but partner thinks a Physics/ Chemistry degree is hopeless.

No seriously one 30 year old Kiwi girl and one Kenyan/Indian guy . Maybe not part of their culture - but he is 30 and has lived here for 22 years. My colleague and I were laughing and then we realised they were really scared!!

exactly they are lovely insects, italian people count the spots and each spot is a wish, they eat aphids etc. I have never seen anyone afraid before.

I found one at work today, and was crossing the room with it on a piece of paper to throw out of the window and two people shrieked and insisted on moving before I passed them, they were so scared. I have never known anyone scared of a ladybird before. Anyone else scared of them?

I have a professional job and must not bring myself or profession into disrepute. I do everything legit and if I am not sure I take professional advice to make sure I am doing things legally or erronthe side of caution.I do not have the resources of Lady Scotland but I do follow procedures. I think it stinks. What happened with David Blunkett and others that employed those they should not have?

Basically they are a bunch of career politicians who have never had a job in the real world and rely on civil servants ( who want to create work for themselves and keep a job)to steer them through their political life. They have no idea of life and practicalities of legislation. You should not be allowed to hold these offices unless you have had experience of working elsewhere for 10 years minimum,.

ripe mulberries are delicious and sweet(tu)

simply childcare is a really good website, and cheap. plus dulwich village newsagents, library, notices in childrens shop windows.

apparently 45 years ago my mother in law used reins to keep my husband in his cot!!!( I did not try this). But as others have advised do not reward them with attention just return them and leave. try and make the first time when they go to bed special and nice and differentiate this with subsequent settlings by not saying anything just putting them back.I think if the house is quiet and you have pretended/ gone to bed it helps as they do not think they are missing anything. it is hard, but you have to do it. Good luck.

oh but the ice cream parlour in Birchington has been made over, no LLoyd loom chairs, no kitsch.

i think at some stage i made up some bits of card with ch , sh th on etc and then other bits at it ot op on and let my son play with them - i htink he was 5 though.

computed shorty- are you by any chance a male of the species?

i'd be interested in suggestions too - I think I have heard it say that nokia's are easier to use?

i think all drivers should be made to ride a bike for 30 mins and the same for cyclists( in reverse)

i expect the rents were too much to make it worth while? Seriously if you are working long hours haev you thought about a nanny/nannyshare/childminder? Having a nannyshare is usualy no more expensive than a nursery,

A few years ago I know Nellys in west dulwich wanted to expand and before they moved into All Saints church they had been looking at a premises in West Dulwich somewhere. I know they did a HUGE amount of research first - getting nursery qualifications etc. Is it worth trying some local property agents?

hmmm strange . I had some furniture on my doorstep a few weeks ago that I was going to put on EDF. as i left my house there were 2 guys in reflective jackets getting ready to carry it away - they said " we've come for the furniture is that right?" not 100% I thought, but save me the hassle. Disappeared in a white van.
