Didn't West Ham get away with it though, when they had Tevez & his mate ?

I would suggest the problem is more with the school or the LEA than the initiative itself; "you can lead a horse to water,..." etc. As somebody nearer to the sharp edge of this than some on here, I am amazed at how badly some schools manage their ICT estate, and the National Education Network, ( or the National Grid for Learning as it used to be called ), actually does provide tangible benefits for those that can be bothered to invest some time in discovering what is possible. It's just that for every evangelist there's a CBA merchant.

Try this for what is really happening... http://www.becta.org.uk/homeaccess Including "All Home Access packages have been specially designed to provide learners and their families with a safer online experience. Parental control software, comprehensive How to guides and anti-virus software are all pre-loaded onto every machine."

As opposed to David 'we have a policy, oh no we don't have a policy,- we have a policy, oh no we don't have a policy' Cameron ?

Minority Report ?

St G, Bob Carter is more of a 'sceptic' than even you are, so this is hardly a surprising piece of 'evidence'. http://www.logicalscience.com/skeptics/bobcarter.html May I suggest you go and try what Whitey Grandad has been challenged to do; find a sceptic who can be demonstrated to be unbiased, and without direct financial links to EXXON.

Which is why oceanic heating is such a concern, ( see the links to methane being released from the sea bed deposits ).

That was from April last year, this is November.... http://greenhouseneutralfoundation.org/articles/2009/11/12/massive-ross-ice-shelf-may-collapse-without-warning/ I think we are probably still in the 'we are not quite sure what is happening' phase.

I thought the Ross Ice Shelf was retreating faster than the French army in the face of the blitzkrieg ?

Onions the hero again , with honourable mentions to Bell and Colly. Think KP owes us something, though.

12 balls to go.............

Do you mean like this, ( Note - from the ToryGraph ) ; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/6937019/Cold-weather-doesnt-undermine-global-warming-science.html Also, from the Met Office ( mind you they are tightly bound into your conspiracy ) ; http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/2010/pr20100106b.html And, then there is this from 2007 ; http://jeffmcintirestrasburg.greenoptions.com/2007/04/12/green-myth-busting-global-warming-and-cold-weather/

Surely Skates would be better turning to Loan Sharks ?

You can guarantee that the roads are passable and public transport is all running nicely, as well.

So if the MOD gave you a payslip with "I.O.U., to be honoured at some point in the future" printed on it, you would take that as payment ? It would certainly not cover your family's outgoings for the three weeks before they claim the money will appear. By not putting the money in the accounts on the due day, they have patently failed to pay the players.

Yup

As long as they do it fairly ; one of the proposed schemes runs pretty much under my house, in an area that is geologically unsuited to bulk gas storage due to the consequences of brine 'mining' by ICI. My worry is that the Government will push the scheme through, in the 'national interest', despite the genuine objections. ( And this isn't just nimbyism - the area is littered with massive sinkholes, some over 150 feet deep, where the salt 'caverns' have subsided. How would you feel having 60 billion cubic feet of pressurised natural gas under your village / town ? In the USA, many states prohibit such storage within 3 miles of habitation, this scheme in total runs directly under the homes of over 100,000 people ).

May have something to do with them getting rid of Irvine.

But you forget, there is always the 'small print'; "We reserve the right to share your information with other selected interested organisations and companies". It will be far too tempting for the Government to raise a little additional cash on the side by allowing health insurance companies to "research" certain aspects of risk, and mysteriously we end up with 'personalised' premiums, tailored by genetic risk factors you never even knew you had. Or maybe we will have some other research institutions looking at genetic pre-disposition for certain behavioural traits, and people being labelled as 'future offenders' from birth. Then again, we could always go the whole hog and run the country eugenically, only permitting the most desirable attributes to be carried forward to the next generation, with every new-born labelled at birth as to how 'society' requires them to develope. I do not trust the Government to keep what it has secure, let alone to use this data solely for the publicly stated intent.

Troll !!!!!

The RSC 'Hamlet', with David Tennant & Patrick Stewart. Saw it in Stratford last year - bit disappointed that they have dressed up the set, it was better as a minimalist presentation, but good stuff none the less.

By my rough & ready maths, based on teams maintaining their form from the last 8 games for the 2nd half of the season, Saints would finish 6th. You need to take into account that we have to play all the teams above us again, starting with the next 3 league games being Colchester ( away ),Huddersfield ( home ), and Millwall ( away ). Also, if we are in with a shout going into the last few games, we should be capable of a really good final burst, as we finish with Yeovil, Carlisle, Gillingham, and Southend. So, not being overly optimistic, I think it's a yes, YES, YES !!!
