I don't think hatred of pedophiles is helpful at all. It needs to be seen as a serious condition and those that suffer from that codition need treatment. That treatment might seem quite harsh as it will involve the suppression of their sex drive through medication, but I believe quite a few pedophiles recognise their position and will take this medication voluntarily. Those that don't should have it imposed on them.

I think it's a bit like being born gay or heterosexual. It's another orientation and not one that anyone chooses voluntarily. There are those that sublimate their urges and never act on them and those that indulge their sexual orientation and cause great suffering to their victims and ultimately to themselves. I think the answer lies in those that can't control their urges being given medication to obliterate their sex drive.

I think you mean one of these

You think weirdos should be locked up just for being weird??

Well it's a free country and the muslims are free to believe what they want. It's only when they actually commit violence that they have done anything wrong.

The figures speak for themselves, but hide the fact that some pupils will be better suited to Silverdale whilst others will get on better at High Storrs.

I love Szechuan Hot Pot where you cook your own food in a big boiling communal bowl containing a very spicy soup base. It used to be served at Jabu on London Road until they got closed down by the Noodle Inn.

Both my children went to Silverdale, but my son transferred to High Storrs for his A levels. He really blossomed there and got the highest A level grades, whilst he had always struggled at Silverdale. So I agree High Storrs is the better choice. Silverdale trades on past glories to some extent.

Here's the excellent Riverbend blog from Iraq on the subject of the imposition of Islamic dress on women since the American invasion. For me, June marked the first month I don’t dare leave the house without a hijab, or headscarf. I don’t wear a hijab usually, but it’s no longer possible to drive around Baghdad without one. It’s just not a good idea. (Take note that when I say ‘drive’ I actually mean ‘sit in the back seat of the car’- I haven’t driven for the longest time.) Going around bare-headed in a car or in the street also puts the family members with you in danger. You risk hearing something you don’t want to hear and then the father or the brother or cousin or uncle can’t just sit by and let it happen. I haven’t driven for the longest time. If you’re a female, you risk being attacked. I look at my older clothes- the jeans and t-shirts and colorful skirts- and it’s like I’m studying a wardrobe from another country, another lifetime. There was a time, a couple of years ago, when you could more or less wear what you wanted if you weren’t going to a public place. If you were going to a friends or relatives house, you could wear trousers and a shirt, or jeans, something you wouldn’t ordinarily wear. We don’t do that anymore because there’s always that risk of getting stopped in the car and checked by one militia or another. There are no laws that say we have to wear a hijab (yet), but there are the men in head-to-toe black and the turbans, the extremists and fanatics who were liberated by the occupation, and at some point, you tire of the defiance. You no longer want to be seen. I feel like the black or white scarf I fling haphazardly on my head as I walk out the door makes me invisible to a certain degree- it’s easier to blend in with the masses shrouded in black. If you’re a female, you don’t want the attention- you don’t want it from Iraqi police, you don’t want it from the black-clad militia man, you don’t want it from the American soldier. You don’t want to be noticed or seen. I have nothing against the hijab, of course, as long as it is being worn by choice. Many of my relatives and friends wear a headscarf. Most of them began wearing it after the war. It started out as a way to avoid trouble and undue attention, and now they just keep it on because it makes no sense to take it off. What is happening to the country? I realized how common it had become only in mid-July when M., a childhood friend, came to say goodbye before leaving the country. She walked into the house, complaining of the heat and the roads, her brother following closely behind. It took me to the end of the visit for the peculiarity of the situation to hit me. She was getting ready to leave before the sun set, and she picked up the beige headscarf folded neatly by her side. As she told me about one of her neighbors being shot, she opened up the scarf with a flourish, set it on her head like a pro, and pinned it snuggly under her chin with the precision of a seasoned hijab-wearer. All this without a mirror- like she had done it a hundred times over… Which would be fine, except that M. is Christian.

No you haven't thrown my theory out. There's plenty of pubs still open in S10. Does it not stand to reason that a pub will close in a largely teetotal area such as Darnall.

How about a nice chav burka?

There's a lot of closed pubs in Darnall and the reason could well be that there are a lot of muslims in the area.

Probably because he gets his TV content from Virgin Media and they don't show any of the Sky channels anymore.

Thanks .

Where can I get a garden incinerator, the ones that look like old style dustbins. It seems most of the garden centres in Sheffield don't sell anything as useful as this.
