The secret of strong teeth is good genes (about which you can do nothing) and avoiding sugary snacks and drinks (about which you can).

Brushing once a day and flossing gently in between bridges is a good idea but the above make more difference.

My mother has been known to buy 12 of the same book/other item online simply by pressing the ''buy now' key 12 times 'just to make sure. It didn't seem to be doing anything'.

Wanting a rough price for re-plastering bathroom ceiling. It's a max 2m x 1.7m and will need three holes filling in where we've removed spotlights

 

Don't want a full quote, just a rough idea so I can budget

I think you need to budget about £100-150 for a professional job, although there will be fly-by nights who will do it for about £70.

Go for the pro!

Objectification is a notion central to feminist theory. It can be roughly defined as the seeing and/or treating a person, usually a woman, as an object.

 

 

By definition all humans are objects and since the dawn of time humans have looked at each other.

Missing the point by a mile...again.

No, all humans are not objects. They are sentient beings, capable of thinking and feeling. 'Objects' are inanimate, incapable of thinking or feeling.

Got it?

I think you have to be guided by the health professional in charge of your obesity programme.

I only eat one meal a day (at around 8pm) ... I haven't put any weight on.

Having said that, I eat two meals a day at weekends which probably helps keep my weight down.

This makes no sense whatsoever even within its own frame of reference!

'Collateral damage' is another of those military euphemisms which seems to me to be particularly terrible. Essentially it means killing civilians. The fact that the deaths are unintended isn't much consolation to the civilians or their loved ones.

Closer to home, I'm intrigued by the way I am always corrected if I refer to 'the tip'. It's now a 'recyling centre' - except that it isn't, really.

Is there a term for people who eat roadkill?

ANSWER THE QUESTION !!!!

I've marked exam answers obviously carefully memorised, but not actually the answer to the question set.

Mind you, these are probably the ones who grow up to write "Microsoft Help"!

Or even 'Ask Anna' on the IKEA website! (Anna is a very dim Cyborg who never answers your question but demands endless positive feedback).

You could just eat at sensible times, then you wouldn't need a special word.

Seriously, if you go from breakfast to 2pm without eating any protein, your blood sugar will be all over the place and you will end up gorging on the wrong things, putting on weight, risking diabetes and suffering from fatigue.

There will be a propaganda campaign the likes of which this country has ever seen to keep Britain in the EU. They will use every scare tactic in the book in order go keep the project on course in its insidious aim.

...the likes of which has been spouting forth from the frothy mouth of UKIP for the last five years, actually....using every scare tactic in its insidious aim of getting us to think the EU is an evil parasite, etc., etc.

Good luck and remember to punctuate your answers. Don't make the examiner do your work for you. (It hacks them off royally. I know that because I am one:)).

A fair EU referendum is yet far from assured.

 

Only British nationals should be able to vote for example. If EU citizens are allowed to vote, effectively gerrymandering the vote, and a result declared to stay within the EU, UKIP will not accept such a result.

You seem to have a tenuous grasp of what a referendum involves in the UK.

Of course foreign nationals will not be entitled to vote, just as you would not if you lived abroad (unless you had gone through the process of becoming nationalised in that country).

The problem with pupils arriving late is that:

1. They miss registration/tutorial/assembly sessions, where useful information (about room changes, meetings, events, etc) is given out.

2. They miss part of the first lesson, which they disrupt for others by arriving once the lesson has begun.

3. They get the idea that it's OK to be late (which is not a good basis for adult life).

4. They cannot be safeguarded adequately if nobody knows where they are.

I agree with Anna B that with primary pupils, the responsibility lies with the parents. Secondary pupils should be responsible for themselves and if they are persistently late, there should be consequences. I suggest that the fine should be charged to the parent, but the parent should be encouraged to deduct it from the child's allowance, or wages if they work.

Or the school could treat 3 lates as a truancy and proceed accordingly.

The child should not however be allowed to disrupt a lesson by arriving half way through (unless there is a good reason) - they should be kept in the isolation room with other miscreants until the start of the next lesson.

I could say a whole bunch of words, trying to express experiences, but all words would fall short. .

That says more about your linguistic limitations than it does about the power of language to describe events and experiences. If strange things occurred to people, or even if they merely thought they occurred, there is no reason why they cannot be related. Novelists and poets manage it.

 

Has anything happened to you in your lifetime that ...you could not explain

Yes, many times. I cannot explain why one's teenage children always put empty orange juice cartons back in the fridge but leave full ones out on the worktop. I cannot explain where all the odd socks go. I especially cannot explain why our cat sits by the door and miaows to go out, only to change his mind when we open the door for him.

They all are mysteries to me.

Make your own!

This particular child was given to the father and his partner because - for various reasons - the judge ruled that the mother was not the best person to bring her up.

Normally in surrogacy cases, the woman who gives birth to the child has the legal right to keep it regardless of what she may or may not have agreed with the sperm donor.

My worry is that they stumble upon the occupants of the Tory campaign bus and assume all humans are like that.

Take it one day at a time - don't think about yesterday and try not to think about tomorrow.

Don't let people upset you with their words or actions

and never be persuaded by other peoples' opinions

Must admit, that's the best advice summary I've read!

I agree!...........

“They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.”

love him do much I just want to see him and hold him and tell him that hes my world :,-(

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but clearly he has not always been 'your world' or he would not be in care. Perhaps the reason he does not want to see you is something to do with why he had to be taken into care in the first place?

I know it is difficult for you, but it must be even more so for him. See your solicitor and if you think that your circumstances have changed since your son was taken away from you, make sure you tell him.

How MUCH larger must something be before you'll allow a description of "a lot larger" then?

 

Personally 50% larger is enough for me. What size guest room people want isn't the point, semantically 50% larger is "a lot larger".

Oh, for crying out loud. Regardless of whether the area of a small room is mathematically 40% larger than the area of an even small room, what matters is people's perception of how useful that room is to them.

As I said, 50% larger than 'very small' is still 'pretty' small. Now I suggest you go and look up the difference between semantic and pragmatic meaning and think about why the latter is more useful in this context.

I'm getting rather bored of your obsessively literal approach, so I think on that note, we must agree to differ.

OP, good luck with selling your house.
