I know that if you take your test at Middleswood you HAVE to do a bay park as one of the manouversas they have a bay parking area. Howver, if you take your test at Handsworth you won't necessarily have to do a bay park as they don't have a bay park area. I have taken my test at both, failed at Handsworth but passed at Middlewood - I persoanally find the route at Middlewood easier - but maybe that's because I know the route better? Good luck anyway!

I was left reeling in shock and indeed anger when one of the charity workers shouted across to me Fargate last Summer, "Hey girl with the psoarsis on the elbows', how unbelievably rude. I complained about the person, however I have seen them collecting since. Thankfully, my psoarsis has cleared up now - but I sill think what he said was disgusting! I did giv him a piece of mind saying, 'perhaps before tying to be al charitable you ought to obtain some manners!'. He just roled his eyes and walked away. I bet hewouldn't hve said it to some beefy bloke - or my boyfriend who I was off to meet at the time for that matter!

To be fair the student willbe paying £3000 a year to study there surely they are welcome to free paper?!

Erm......... how so you set fire to a WATER tower?

If need be do as some posters suggested and put the teacher training days in at this time. But what about the teachers that are religious? It would just get farcical. Other jobs don't get all the religious holidays off......

Two weeks actually. Nowadays the holidays are more cultural than religious, the holidays should stay as they are, Britain must maintain it cultural identity - the country is built on Christian ethics. I can see why Muslims take the time off but surely if everyreligion; Jews, Hindus etc....... Had their religious celebratory days off the school calendar would become very complicated and the schools attendance figures would not suit the Government spies!

The funniest bit abut that is the pic with the pram on!

Good luck with it. As a constant key-loser, you seem like a legend!

I would reccomend reading: 'The Curious Incident of a Dog in the Night Time'. Excellent book written by an author who provides a first person narrative from the perspective of someone who is autistic. It has a really interesting storyline to keep up the interest in the plot but alongside that a real inside, honest view of someone with autism. Although the protagonist is a teenage boy he explains why he thinks the way he does and why he is different to others.It should help you understand your boyfriends' actions alot more clearly; I teach at secondary level and it has helped me understand some of my pupils much more. Check it out. S x

The pork sarnies are very nice they cost between £3 to £4.50 depending which one you get but the owner was saying to the customer in front of us that the pig had been with them 13 years, killed and cured over 18 days and then sold in one hour, Very nice it was too, they even had cider soaked apple sauce! Mmmmm. I would also reccomend the paella stall and also the olives stall. I say a big welcome to the markets.

I think generally foods with a naturally sweet taste will do the trick. Yoghurst covered raisins are a good idea, you ca get them from Holland and Barret in a variety of flavours to suit your child's tastes.

I think it looks OK from far off but as you get close to it looks absolutely horrendous. In no way is it tasteful. The actual shape of it and stuff looks OK, for me it is just the colour. Also, it does make the road it is on feel clastrophobic when walking down. Having said this, other religious buildings such as the methodist churches which have a severe lack of character, the mosque is just too gordy, depleting any character it may have.....

Is there a phone number for the coach tickets? I have got a tix but the ppl I am going with haven't oh dear!

Bring it back, didn't like the ghost phone ins though they were too scary!

Well said at least someone on here gives us the credit we deserve
