Being male it is difficult to put it from a female perspective, hence why i only referred to one equation of the debate.
I managed to persuade the site owner to create a new rock for our site, your support for the forthcoming Euro 2016 would be much appreciated...http://www.not606.com/forumdisplay.php/199-Gibraltar
That's what they should really say http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26478145 Why should society be afraid to upset those who can't use basic common sense ? I was in Gillingham on Wednesday - approaching the level crossing. Traffic in the opposite direction was being held up by the 'ever-so-helpful' dustmen. Traffic behind the dustcart was stacked back to the crossing. Just then the crossing 'siren' & flashing lights activated - so I had to stop before I could 'safely' negotiate the crossing. Before the barriers had a chance to come down an idiot in a car [from the other direction] decided to drive onto the crossing level - even though there was no room in front of it on the other side of the level crossing - because traffic was at a standstill. You should have seen the look on the face of this idiot as the barriers started to come down - enclosing his car on the rail line - there was blind panic and a lot of shouting & swearing in his plea to have the barrier raised -and then force traffic in my lane to pull over whilst a 'middle' lane was created to allow a safe passage off the rail line. it says in the link that 'victims were described as 'trespassers' when they had been using the crossing 'appropriately' REALLY !
Probably the bit some of these families might be relating too is this section; "As a result of this transformation, level crossings in Britain are amongst the safest in Europe, but there is still much that we can, and will, do and the committee's recommendations will help us in that endeavour." He said £130m had been spent on improving level crossing safety since 2010, including building footbridges to replace crossings, installing power-operated gates and introducing spoken warnings. Almost 800 crossings have been closed in that time." Now I can't be sure of the year or when or IF the situation has changed but not all crossings had automatic barriers or warning signals. I know your example did. Some crossings used to have their own manual barriers, that you opened to cross on certain sections for vehicles or openings to cross on foot (no bridge). The only way you would know if a train was coming is if you picked up the phone by the side of the track and checked with control, wherever that was! As an adult you would do that, kids may never have been taught these dangers, especially with trains coming through at high speed, a few seconds mistake will cost you your life, bearing in mind this is children i'm talking about. I think because of all the advertising publicity, rail crossings get stereo typed as all having electronic barriers and lights, they never used too. Also with modern systems, we are talking of children with no fear...oh surely i can take a chance....
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/disability-sport/26481108 NO - I'm not taking anything away from the girl - I want to congratulate her achievement - much braver than me WELL DONE, JADE
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26521283 Well done - I admire your honesty Not only in admitting that you fell rather than was fouled -but to admitting that the thought of provoking a penalty was foremost in your mind. It is refreshing to hear such honesty. This man may not be perfect, but he made the right decision with his admission to the referee - that he wasn't fouled. I cannot even rebuke him for having the thought of 'playing' for a penalty. He didn't have to make that admission. ( we've all been tempted and succumbed.) Just how many [few] players would have been so honest ?
Did the referee caution him for simulation? After admitting that he had the thought of playing for the penalty, and that he wasn't fouled, then surely the ref should have cautioned him, or is that only the refs over here who 'allegedly' play it by the book (pun not intended)
The player was not booked - he says that he fell under the challenge (rather than dived) - so no simulation, as such took place. In view of his 'honesty' I tend to believe him on this point.
Once i get 5 mins and the proper youtube video is out for it, I'll be making another GIF and showing Lenny it on my profile, over and over and over and over and over and over again LOL Night's like last night is why I am proud of our youth.
something that I don't understand and despite communications possibly being turned off, if the plane was on land and not in the sea, why has no mobile signals been picked up from the passengers? Yes, I know mobiles can be rounded up at gunpoint but one of those passengers would have only taken seconds to send a signal. Dosen't matter if that signal was not picked up there and then, eventually it might have crossed a point for transmission once send has been hit. I would pretty much guess most of those mobile's would have had locators turned on. My understanding is this was a 777 well that's a bloody big plane for terrorists to completely control and for one passenger to have had a brief split second opportunity to send out a distress signal. From the Independent; What are the key questions the investigators need to address? If the pilots were acting under duress, why did they not activate an emergency distress signal on the flight deck when events began? Why were the crew not challenged about the disabled ACARS system? And, as events unfolded, were any mobile phone calls made or SMS messages sent by passengers? If the answer to the last question is “no”, then one conclusion may be that the aircraft was well out to sea. The Inquirer; Technology industry analyst and “E-Commerce Times” columnist, Jeff Kagan told CNN that no conclusions could be reached concerning the ringing phones. “When a cell phone rings, it first connects with the network and attempts to locate the end-user’s phone, if it doesn’t find the phone after a few minutes, after a few rings, then typically, it disconnects and that’s what’s happening. “So, they’re hearing ringing and they’re assuming it’s connecting to their loved ones, but it’s not. It’s the network sending a signal to the phone letting them know it’s looking for them.”" he said. Kagan said the technology meant he couldn’t speculate on what ringing phones in this situation could mean. “Just because you’re getting ringing, just because the signs that we see on these cell phones, that’s no proof that there’s any – that’s just the way the networks work.” he said. CNN; A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE How does a plane the size of a Boeing 777-200ER just disappear? It doesn't. The plane is about 200 feet wide, 200 feet long and six stories tall. It -- or its pieces -- are somewhere. It doesn't help that Flight 370's flight path is unclear and that the search areas include vast waters and sparsely populated jungles and mountains. But its apparent disappearance is made even stranger by the fact that the jet was laden with massive amounts of technology, including a transponder, UHF and VHF radios, automatic beacons, GPS and computer communications systems, as well as the cell phones of the passengers and crew.
brb perhaps the pilot wasn't taking any notice of Mrs. Satnav and got lost ! (I shall hate myself at this attempt at a joke if the result is a tragedy)
nicknames are just a bit of harmless fun - if you can't appreciate them - then you'll struggle in life due to a lack of a sense of humour and the ability to laugh at yourself. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-26579653 I particularly like the fact that the writer from Minnesota 'took offence' at their nickname from schooldays - with the writer's actual name I would have thought that Farty would have been more likely. I am quite glad that I am not the son of one of the executive producers of the program Cheers. Her name is Mary Fukuto.
And look after YOUR own kids ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26626238 The woman interviewed 43 seconds into the link claims that her whole wage goes on childcare !!! Why then does she go to work ? - I would have thought that IF her claim is anything like accurate, it surely must be better for her to stay at home and look after her own children. who among us really goes to work - only to give away ALL of their wages ( other than to Mrs.alwaysright ) Here's somebody who won't have to worry about the cost of childcare - Delboy's brother ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-26627075
What's new about it! Threepenny bit... So called NEW: please log in to view this image http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/mar/19/a-sounder-pound-new-1-coin-unveiled OLD: please log in to view this image So in nearly 80 years (1937) since first production, not much advance in human technology or invention. Due to be introduced in 2017.
This is the bit that made me chuckle... A Treasury spokesman said: “After 30 years’ loyal service the time is right to retire the current £1 coin and replace it with the most secure coin in the world." Sounds like he is talking about a faithful pet
Probably at Scally's rates. I'm sure I have actually along with a few other old coins. Not a collection or anything, just a few old coins i kept from younger days.
