Pete Cowan golf academy. Number of coaches there, and they teach every standard. My 8 year old goes there in the kids group lessons, and so do a number of tour players.... some of the best coaching available anywhere.
-
both are nice to be honest. Dore is more expensive, but Totley primary is a better school at the moment. Both are good though.
-
I decided not to teach , i couldn't get my head round multiplying fractions.Â
Â
Please tell me thats a joke.....from your other responses, its hard to tell.
-
Has anyone done anything productive as to finding out why a televised programme had 0 as the answer?
Â
Clearly a teacher wrote the question and provided the answer.
-
However, given that he has a BEd in Maths, he may in the future. It is extremely important, therefore, that he understands that BODMAS is an aid to remembering the only rules of operation.Â
I was actually joking....the joke of this thread is that he IS a teacher. I did a maths degree...seems I'll need to teach my own kids maths.
-
I'm not trying to trick or ridicule you Willman. It would be nice if you could refer to some evidence of BODMAS not being applicable where there are no brackets.Â
I can't believe something that important to the maths world, would not be written down somewhere, in some respected source.
Â
It doesn't matter if he's wrong....its not like he's teaching our kids maths is it?
-
This thread is funny...so many people are mathematically illiterate.
Â
I'm going to a session tonight at my son's school about how maths is taught. He's 5, and started school in September 2011
Â
Shall I ask when BODMAS is introduced ?
-
I was on a train from Glasgow and Edinburgh, and me and a mate were talking about playing golf at Muirfield . A very serious local blurted out....." you'll no get on ta Muirfield ." I asked why and he said....."they don't let Tomataheeeds on"
Â
As you can imagine......it sort of stuck.

Another war would not play favourably with either the UK or US public so how can it be playing to a domestic audience?Â
Strong words against Iran plays well during elections. Doesn't mean the US will bomb Iran.
-
It's unsurprising Israel are worried, the Iranian President has made numerous references to wiping Israel off the map, a successful nuclear strike on Israel would pretty much annihilate them.Â
As for our politicians trying to "unite our fractured community", I doubt most of the people rioting last August even know where Iran is.
Â
This is what I mean about playing to a domestic audience. Iranian leaders have to say this sort of thing otherwise they are considered weak. It doesn't mean they will actually do it.
-
Does anybody think it would be a good idea to allow Iran to gain a nuclear weapon capability?Â
No is the obvious answer....but....its a bit rich other nuclear nations complaining isn't it? All the posturing from UK, US, Israel and Iran is all aimed at a domestic audience. I take it all with a large pinch of salt.
Â
The US has been saying for 20 years that Iran is 6-12 months from getting a nuclear weapon. 20 years later, they are still 6-12 months away. I don't imagine China or Russia wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon either, and they'll have more success persuading Iran than the west will.

We are paying £130 for a party of five to Birmingham thats both ways,pm me if you want his number very reliable.Forgot to say he is fully insured and legal.
Â
Â
yikes....that's expensive. I was thinking about getting a taxi, but cheapest parking at the airport was £21 when I looked last week....and "valet" parking was £50. Plus my fuel there and back to make the comparison fairer...
-
You reckon calculating how much a business costs to run is a waste of time? Maybe they should do what you appear to and guess the numbers?Â
Cost of electricity is now a much higher consieration for instance in IT than it used to be.
Â
Danny actually contradicts himself. I thought earlier in the discussion he was arging for this very same calculation, but at a personal level of spend, rather than for a business.
-
More to the point...if one shot nearly hit you and the next one was 20 metres away, may I suggest you point him in the direction of a PGA qualified pro. He needs some help with his swing.
-
True, not really very fair, is it? Maybe landlords should be able to throw unsatisfactory/non paying tenants out with the same cavalier disregard for agreements that some tenants show?Â
Â
Thats one view of it. It happened to me - a tennant decided to leave just a few weeks after signing a 12 month contract. I figured I might just as well get another tennant in, and get on with life. I was more cheesed off by the tennant getting the whole deposit back from the company holding it - despite her throwing some of my furniture in the skip and swapping my Bosch washing machine for a cheaper one. The deposit paid it all back to her before they even spoke to me about it. I fllied the paperwork in as requested and they just paid it all back.
Â
I just put it down as a life lesson - pick your tennants more carefully.
-
Do people live in the real world or what ?....... Course Danny , jobs are two a penny at the moment, the majority of us cannot pick and choose jobs . It is so simplistic as to tell people to sell there homes and move nearer to their place of work, at what expense ?, there is the nasty removal vans polluting the atmosphere, solicitors bills, surveyors costs, advertising bills , I could go on........ yep it would save time and cost , in your little worldÂ
Or perhaps as a society we need to come up with some different answers, such as working from home more often. Lots of jobs can be done at home for at least some of the time.

HIwhat planet are you on,do the bus,s cover every part of it or like me have to walk 5 miles to catch one that only goes to a terminus 5mile from where i want to go
alsothe extra vat he,s collecting should cover that if only they would stop giving it to someone else.
Â
ps
makes me wonder if u yourself contribute.
ive done mine 50 years of it.
Â

I think all he is saying is that for a lot of people ( not all of course) a proportion of spend on fuel is discretionary. Now income tax is also discretionary for high earners - they find a way out of paying it all.
Â
So fuel tax MIGHT be a fairer way of taxing people than it looks at first sight.
-
There are some that favour high fuel duty, but this is self defeating.Â
If I spend a greater percentage of my net income (and for many people it is a high percentage) on petrol getting to and from work, I then cannot spend my money within other businesses.
Â
As a censequence, many businesses lose money because instead of spending wages in shops, on services or other items people are forever putting petrol in their car to get to and from work.
Â
businesses lose money and so cannot take on additional staff (so no help for those on the dole queue). Businesses take less money so employees take a pay freeze and as a consequence, these people cannot spend money in other peoples businesses.
Â
Many small businesses go to the wall, and many people lose their jobs and so we now have to pay benefits to people who have lost their jobs because people are not spending. Taxes, then need to go up to cover the cost of keeping additional people on benefits.
Â
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY.....but it won't be popular with the anti car brigade.
Â
Cut fuel duty to 40p, that means petrol is now around 98p a litre.
Â
People now have spare cash which they can then spend in businesses, and so businesses grow. Businesses can now create jobs and take people off benefits.
Â
People are in jobs and are now taxpayers. Businesses take more money and so pay more in tax (YES - THEY PAY MORE IN TAX), so in effect a 40p cut in fuel duty would pay for itself as businesses grow and take more money and pay more tax, and take people off the dole queue.
Â
This is supposed to be a conservative government (ie, friendly to businesses and not feathering the nests of the liberal eliete). If things carry on like this, we may as well put new labout back in charge at the next election.
Â
Â
Not sure it would work like this. If people have a bit of "spare" cash, they are possibly more likely to use it to reduce their outgoings, or paying off debt. That doesn't grow the economy, create jobs or result in tax revenue. i can see why the Chancellor wants to take the cash now.

ITs a nice area....some of prospect road is very busy though -if you come from Bradway road to Woodland place, its busy. The bits that breaks off towards Prospect Drive, then its quiet.
-
Oh, that's a whole new issue - don't get me at started!Â
Every time I speak to them, the receptionists always, every single time, ask me what it's for. Whether i'm speaking to them about me or the kids, they always want to know.
Â
I have no idea why they do this but it can be a little bit awkward when the waiting room is full of patients listening!!
Â
When I get "...whats wrong wi yer ?"... I wish I could reply with "I don't know...thats why I'm booking an appointment with someone thats had some medical training..."
Â
I'm sure receptionists don't have an easy job, but they can be rather unpleasant.
Â
As others have said...just turn up, and if they challenge you on it, all you have to do is explain that YOU felt it was sufficiently urgent.

It doesn't say that!Â

No, I got got that bit....did you miss the signature on everyone of his posts saying he works for an authority outside Yorkshire ?Â
Actually....I've got this wrong...you're right, its not clear. But I do know from other threads that Planner1 works for Manchster City Council, not Sheffield.
Â
I also have to say that he ( i assume its a he...could be wrong) gives a useful insight into how these things operate - he's often not agreeing or disagreeing with a poster - he's telling you how the process works. I've disagreed with him on a couple of topics, in particular the use of the phrase "fly-parking" which really winds me up, but generally he gives us all a view of how these things work from the other side. No point having a personal swipe at him....I'd have given up a while ago with how rude people are to him.

Did you miss this bit,Â
Â
The SYLTP partnership is made up of the four Local Authorities in South Yorkshire (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) and the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE). The work of the partnership is managed by the SYLTP Central Team. The partnership coordinates and implements South Yorkshire's transport strategy.

Brother in law has a Tesla P90D....I teased him about it to be honest...he could have had an S class from his company, but its convinced me. Quoted range is 300, but it does 200 easily, and he almost never visits a charge point...twice a year on holidays, just charges it every night. In many ways its more practical than a petrol or diesel. Oh yes....0-60 in 2.8, but that's not why he bought it....
