I hope he never knew he had been accused.

Are children with special needs welcome?

I find it such a shame that you have to ask that MrsEggy - hope the answer is a positive one.

I'm going to be defiant about this. Definitely.

Your choice.

But its clear which father sets the better example on this thread - and its not the one that mocks a child over a couple of spelling errors.

Your teachers will be definitely impressed with that.

That's a tad mean - how about praising all the positives this young lad has done in producing this:

- putting the effort in

- respecting his teachers

- giving praise

Springs academy have done right by my lad for a long time.

They've helped a great deal with his special needs and learning difficulties.

The sort of learning difficulties that mean he cant spell or punctuate that well.

The sort of needs where he has little or no confidence in his abilities to perform the mundane, day to day tasks that we all take for granted.

The help he got from his dad was encouragement to find the right words and have confidence to write the damn thing and put it on line in the first place.

Sadly hes read your replies and now for some reason feels a little worse about himself than he did when he posted it.

Well done you.

I hope you're proud.

Thanks for that.

Its appreciated

I hope he holds his head back up high - a good lad you have there it seems. Well done to him ; I bet his teachers (like his Dad) are proud of him.

£3.6 million in total.

 

Now would all those wildey throwing around £10 million, £15 million, etc like to retract their crazy figures?

 

No, didn't think you would.

£3.1 million of that was the cost of policing - if the left wing agitators here could have been troubled to be sensible that wouldnt have been anywhere as high. But they couldnt so remember - that cost you were fulminating about was largely entirely of your own making.

How do you know it cost £3.6?

something other than eveything with chips!

 

Maybe say:

 

Veggie chilli, rice and nachos

 

Roast dinner

 

Jackets and fillings

 

Wraps

 

Pasta - pasta bake, spag bol, pesto pasta

 

Instead of chips maybe home made wedges or roast potatoes or even new in herb butter

 

Filled yorkshire puds

 

---------- Post added 23-04-2013 at 15:50 ----------

 

Or omlettes with various fillings

Excellent menu,

To the OP avoid all deep fried (including) breaded products, cheap sausage and burgers and plastic pizza.

Is wisewood at the back of Rother valley?

Think its S6 - near to Hillsborough.

Good tips on getting a new born to settle in 1st few nights. We all fear the sleepless nights of the new borns? What's your top tips???

Non regarding how to settle (for the first few nights). Babies wake a lot, they cry a lot , they fed a lot- it is perfectly normal.

The best tip is to accept it as this and don't get stressed by it. Sleep when they do, eat well and get some fresh air each day.

maybe we could say the same about the people who implemented these changes in the first place

Especially as we cannot currently recycle easily the plastics referred to in the post you quote.

Tai chi is particularly good for high blood pressure, depression, digestive problems, and promotes self healing

Good call.

lots of other good advice on here:

The newest one has an evening cafe/restaurant as well. Its really nice.

P.s. I do worry about Sheffield in that three of the places suggested for a ROMANTIC evening are: Chiquitos, Nando's and Bungalows & Bears!!!

I was hoping they were all sarcastic offerings!

Having said that anywhere can be romantic with the right company!

To the OP - the most romantic evenings are often those spent at home - get some good food in, put some candles out and chill the wine.

The ONS figures showed that the number of people employed full time rose by 113,000, offsetting a fall in part-time employment of 23,000.

 

 

Because the public sector in its current form is unaffordable and unsustainable.

but is it unnecessary?

Just as well you told us. The forum has predictive grammar police patrolling round the clock.

Haha - it sure does!

Looks like things are heading in the right direction.

 

There were 28.86 million people in employment aged 16 and over January 2010

There were 29.59 million people in employment aged 16 and over, up 212,000 on March to May 2012 and up 510,000 on a year earlier.

 

There were 29.73 million people in employment aged 16 and over, up 154,000 on July to September 2012 and up 584,000 on a year earlier.

 

5.5 million people employed in the public sector 2000.

6.1 million people employed in the public sector 2005.

6.3 million people employed in the public sector 2009.

5.7 million people employed in the public sector 2012.

Being in employment - does that include the under employed?

Why are reductions in public services good?

His governments policy is to reduce the debt incurred by the last labour governmnt. (down by a third)

 

Also to reduce the disgusting level of benefit paid to the workshy and feckless. (already being capped)

 

To decrease the reliance on financial services and increase industrial production.( employment up by a million in this sector).

 

Labour has opposed every policy without offering an alternative.

1. Debt is up.

2. Highest level of benefit is pensions - not being capped.

3. Do you mean this:A million new jobs have been created in the Private Sector" /

Lovely service today, a worthy tribute.

 

The protesters were a very small minority. There were a few placards and banners, the best one simply said Thank you Margaret Thatcher.

How do you know all these facts? Must have taken you some time to walk the entire route through the crowds (latest estimation 32 million) that were there, counting people and undertaking a poll on best placard.

Does anybody know how many people turned up in London for the funeral today? Going on what I've just seen on the news and what I've heard on the radio I reckon around 35 million.

At the very least!

Are you going to admit just how wrong you were? What party? Which councillors attended? What a a brave little warrior you are to hide behind your keyboard and fling out accusations. Council business carried on as normal and no councillors protested in the streets, did they?

 

How disappointing for you.

Of course he isn't.

Same as those who suggested earlier that the protesters (the majority of whom have been dignified) were akin to terrorists wont.

I don't call them "all" scrubbers because quite simply they are not .

However, the ones protesting at something they cannot change or quite often have nothing to do with usually are .

I don't think this lady is your kind of scrubber:

Ms Jones, from Poole, Dorset, a director of the cosmetics company Lush, said: "I wanted to be here today because they have turned this into a public event paid for from the public purse.

"Therefore we need to represent the wide breadth of public opinion - some of us do not wish for Margaret Thatcher to have what amounts to almost a Royal funeral."

She had called for the protesters to hold a silent demonstration along the route but said she understood that Lady Thatcher still aroused passionate emotions in her opponents.

"I guess you have to understand that there is still bitterness and anger among people affected by her policies," she said.

"I am a middle class girl from a middle class Dorset town, but my neighbours lost their homes and lost their jobs."

although she is in the soap and bubbles industry.

I am not grumbling just trying to clarify matters as to where the figure has come from.

I think you have got me mixed up with another poster.

Heres one source:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2013/apr/16/margaret-thatcher-funeral-10-million

Would you be grumbling if it was King Arthur who had just gone to the great coalmine in the sky for the same cost?

I would be. Its an obscene amount of money.

how would that work in the nhs:huh:

Here's the suggestion:

I have seen people get benefits who have kids and the first thing they do is get fags and booze and when their child asks for a 10 p packet of crisps they snipe back and say no. I have seen this first hand working in a shop in barnsley, this was a regular occurence and the norm for that area.

 

I am not saying that all benefit people waste money but I have also done tuition for people who are on benefits and they have paid me £20 an hour to do the tuition. Surely if they have this sort of money they are getting too much?? Or on the other side you could argue they are paying for a tutor for their children so their children don't end up on benefits. Difficult to judge.

 

Should people on benefits have the luxury of a car and holidays?

Have you really charged the unemployed £20 an hour for tuition?

Oh Thankyou Potted spot on

they sound precious so hope the service works for you.

They do tend to lack a certain degree of decorum and proportionality.

Was it proportionate to spend 10 million pounds today?

I have to say as someone who was a wee babby when Thatcher was PM, I don't think I have a right to comment on the goods or evils she did. When I saw this morning that a 22 year old was leading a protest, I just shook my head. It's all very well reading it in history books and forming your own conclusion, but the only people that can really have a view or comment are those who Thatcher affected directly or indirectly.

I find that such a sad attitude.

Do you have any views on what Hitler did? Or Stalin?

On another scale do you have any views on Rosa Parks or Luther King?

Or Atlee or.............(the list in endless).
