bridge too far

Happy to edit in the name of accuracy

But one of the aims is to allow children from poorer families internet access at home to help them with their homework. The places you mention are not open in the evenings. And, pipe-dreaming I know, suppose these places were open in the evening, there would not be enough workstations / supervision to staff them if every child decided to go along to do their homework. I think it's a great idea - liberating thousands of people and helping children and families who DO want to get on, to get on. Not everyone on a low income is a wastrel you know.

Are you James Bond?

I don't imagine any company would deliver them for free out of the goodness of their corporate hearts now would they. There will also be installation costs, as you well know. It is highly unlikely that any of the recipients will have servers. And of course there would have to be support and insurance cover in place otherwise it wouldn't be worth handing them out. The administration costs will be mainly eaten up by identifying who qualifies. Unless you want them to go to any Tom, **** or Harry.

Horses for courses, I guess. I find the auditions quite humiliating but the 'proper' programme really good. There's a huge talent pool out there.

Nigel Lithgoe and Arlene Phillips - two of the most successful choreographers of recent times. HTH

The photos had been airbrushed anyway, allegedly - so just embellishing existing 'art' maybe

My son-in-law has spent the day at the school at which he teaches, shovelling snow and salting the paths too.

Why limit it to children of service personnel who have been killed (I assume it would apply if the child's mother had been killed in service too?) What about children of police officers / firefighters / paramedics who have been killed in service. Indeed what about the children of anyone killed whilst on public service?

Great programme - good to see REALLY talented dancers instead of the celebrity tosh we're normally exposed to.

Que?

Qualifications apart, I think you have to compare a 'super head' with a director of a company who is responsible for HR, H & S, finance, facilities management. Not such a super wage after all.

Well I can see why!

Except, of course, that most towns and cities have only one, maybe two at the most, hospitals but loads more schools, silly man :smt018 And actually, a lot of hospitals are only open for emergencies and existing in-patients because not enough staff can get in for outpatients and elective surgery. Of course, hospitals have plenty of beds to accommodate people too. But I know you've got your tongue firmly planted in your teeth

The schools might finish at 3 but the teachers don't, I can assure you.

My son-in-law is a teacher in High Wycombe. For those of you that don't know - you can't go anywhere in HW without going up and down quite steep hills. His school is a good 5 miles from his home and his home is on a very steep hill. Even if he managed to get in, it's doubtful whether many of the pupils would. Better to be safe than sorry I would think.

LOL well my family did originate in Liverpool Oh and they used to say 'well I go to sea in a rowing boat' if they were surprised about something.

Did anyone else grow up hearing 'Pigs eyelashes and glue' when they asked what was for dinner? Or, when asking what colour something was, being told 'Sky blue pink with a finny anny border'? Or did I just have a weird upbringing

My family used the expression 'Shank's Pony'.

Don't husky drivers say 'mush' to get their dogs going?

Would any of the other clubs WANT to loan players back if they bought them off Poopey? Would any club want to help out these shysters? Will they close ranks against PFC?

I couldn't get your link to work - here's the salient point: TROUBLED Portsmouth last night put their whole squad up for sale. #bodycopy a { font-size: 12px; } And Starsport can reveal that the cash-strapped outfit are so desperate for money they even asked the Premier League to guarantee a loan so they could pay their players. Portsmouth secured a lending facility to cover the outstanding £1.8m wage bill. But one of the conditions was that the League guaranteed the money – and they refused to do so.

I assume that all the advisors are being paid on time even if the players and creditors aren't?

Do you know - I climbed up St Catherine's Hill the day before I gave birth to my daughter :shock:

Good photos MB - is that Miller's Pond?
