bridge too far

I used to get it after travelling, particularly on boats. It was due to the balance mechanism in the inner ear being compromised. The doctor eventually prescribed sea sickness tablets (sea sickness is caused by the same imbalance apparently) and that worked fine. It was a bit tough for me as I was still dancing at the time! I also discovered that a glass of wine or two somehow corrected the imbalance!

BBC 4 has a programme about wrestling on right now

Problem with your inner ear I should think.

Earlier today I read that one of them had been stabbed quite badly some years ago and his friend was hacked to death in the same incident. The perpetrator was a (white) drug dealer. According to one of his friends, the one that's now been arrested, he then went to Kenya where he was allegedly tortured.

You wait 'til you get to level 125 - took me two bloody weeks to do that one!

I think it's the case that UK law over-rides Sharia law. Recently there was a BBC programme (Panorama I think) investigating abuse of Muslim women and this point was well rehearsed. Unfortunately many Muslim women are too scared to go to the police where there has been rape / abuse for fear of reprisal from their own community. I think the same concerns exist about Hasidic laws being invoked in this country. Again I think such laws are overridden by UK law.

Nice backers, this UKIP lot (although, , he's not going to back them any more) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22631003

It's being suggested that the men were high on drugs and also that they didn't seem to have a 'Muslim appearance', whatever that is. Also, the guy on the video has a broad south London accent so probably British.

I'd go further with this and suggest that ALL marriages should be conducted as civil ceremonies and then, if people want it, they could have their marriages blessed in a religious establishment of their choice. Currently, all religious ceremonies, with the exception of those carried out in the Church of England, have to have a Registrar present in the same way as civil ceremonies do. The Church of England is excepted because it is the established church (I guess the same applies to the Church of Scotland, but I don't know that to be a fact). FWIW I think marriage should ALWAYS be a civil ceremony first followed by whatever is wanted. It is, after all, a contract first and foremost.

I heard that interview too (or at least the bit the BBC broadcast). I didn't think the journalist was out of order at all. Farridge interrupted him when he was asking a question which, if he'd been allowed to finish, was underpinning a point Farridge himself had made. Not the journalist's fault that our Nige didn't allow him to finish the quote. Then he asked him how many representatives UKIP had in Scotland. I can't see how anything was wrong there.

Signed

And at least WE publish accounts!

Not in any way wishing to take the wind out your sails VFTT - because I agree with the point you are making - I think it's a fact that, under Labour, more doctors were under training and the current government now claims that there's been an increased in doctors and nurses on their watch (conveniently forgetting that it takes about 10 years to train as a doctor). Yesterday, on the news, there was an item about the shortage of Emergency Medicine practitioners. The consultant in charge of the A & E department featured said that junior doctors were unwilling to make a career of emergency medicine because of the fact that A & E departments are almost at meltdown.

Gawd 'elp us if the choice in years to come is between Gove and Boris! Still, they say we get the government we deserve (not that I subscribe to that theory you understand).

I think these studies are a little bit more sophisticated than that.

I understand that 5 of the 7 were British born - so a bit of a problem, deporting them.

There was a suppressed study many years ago that concluded that conventional tobacco smoking also helped prevent type 2 diabetes. I know because I know someone who worked on the study.

A horrific case and, apparently, the media has only reported a fraction of the evidence because it was so awful. The Independent has published an insightful article and it makes a pertinent point here: Police, social workers, academics and children’s charity workers agree. Greater Manchester Police, in whose area the Rochdale offences took place, says 95 per cent of the men on its sex offenders register are white. Just five per cent are Asian. Wendy Shepherd, child sexual exploitation project manager with Barnardo’s in the north of England, says that most abusers are white and most child sex exploitation happens in the home. So whilst we should rightly condemn what has happened in Rochdale and Oxford, we shouldn't close our eyes to abuse happening elsewhere and by other communities. We are doing victims in those communities a huge disservice if we ignore their plight in any attempt to attribute abuse to one community alone. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/the-oxford-child-sex-abuse-verdict-highlights-a-cultural-problem-but-not-a-specifically-muslim-one-8616370.html
