Well thank you!

I'm guessing the apology wasn't sincere then.

My apology was sent with the grace it was accepted...

..no we were prepared, as soon as they were planned we started their college funds and you always find school money even if you go without holidays and things..thats what having them is all about..thats what angers me about thse people who bang out a few while on the dole and expect the country to pick up the tab....

And then they go to Uni and really hit your pocket for six

Ditty hasn't accepted it yet as far as I can see.

I was genuinely angry at what you said Syd, it didn't just appear rude, it WAS rude, and I think it's wrong that you haven't apologised directly for the comment you made, instead settling for apologising for it's appearance. Sometimes a heartfelt genuine apology can build a lot of bridges.

Nooooooooo!  hahahaha!

oh jesus!    dunno whether to laugh or cry really!          

Things are very different here then.

My niece's school are in the process of changing the school uniform.....so the school forked out and bought every child, already at the school, one of everything they needed, because the assumption is that the parents have already paid for the old style and it's not their fault that it is changing.

You just try your best Ditty...and make them get a part time job while they're there

Noooooo! Don't remind me

Are you having a laugh?........If you are not, then ....just then..........

They wouldn't do that here.....they start with the new intake and eventually the uniform changes for all. Miss K's old school now has 3 yrs in the new one and a couple in the old

I can be smug now because I  came out the other side and waseventually solvent...but then there was the wedding....it never ends

No I'm not!

No... she's not having a laugh.    Are you really that ignorant Syd?   can you really not see how bang out of order you have been, or how lame & half arsed your apology was?

You know what.. this needs to end now.     

I don't want your bloody apology..   just do not quote & comment on my posts ever again.

I will extend you the same courtesy. 

Noooooooo DJ is doing 3 years college in Galway then off down to Dublin to finish and thats enough, his apartement alone is €1,000 a month......and no weddings he's never getting married ever....

WOW!!!!

I am amazed at that!

I have never heard of a school doing that before.

I wanna be at the smug stage.

Me too!

but by then it will (finally) be the boys turn...  

if we haven't all starved & frozen to death   <---- laughing... cos if I don't I'll cry! 

They would'nt do that here they'd just change it start of year but I did read my old school in England gave them all free uniforms when it changed to a sporting academy..because out uniforms were very expensive....

Bride's dad gets lumbered Stonkssy, you're lucky you had sons...well as fae as weddings are concerned

You'll be as old as me by the time you are, that's for sure

I'm so glad there's 6yrs between mine....

Nooooooooo he's my baby....

Maybe it's an Academy thing then Stonks? Because that's the situation my niece's school are in. I have seen other schools just change it a year at a time, as the new one's come in, so eventually every year is wearing.

I couldn't do that though! It would drive me crazy people being dressed differently! Maybe the Heads that pay for new uniforms are a bit OCD?

I'm so glad I only had the one!

That would be me......

Because Cameron is a clueless dick, who is way out of his depth and always has one eye on empty spin.  "Better to talk a good job than do one", should be written on Cameron's tombstone.

So, Cameron promises a crackdown on street crime.

How is he going to achieve that if he cuts their funding?

We don't just want a 'visible presence' we want a police force that can actually function against crime. Is he too much in the clouds to understand the difference between presence and action?

Nothing is going to change if the police aren't allowed to police the streets with authority. It sickens me to see them behaving with near deference to criminals because they're worried they'll be investigated by the PCC.

It's the same thing with teachers in schools....kids get away with murder because they know they can't be touched by their superiors!

How hard can it be to get a dick with a clue in charge?!    

I blame the parents.......

I read that yesterday Kaffy, it's very good 

And Tony Blair's and Barack Obama's.....style and no substance all of them, the rest are simply dicks..every man jack of them

''my thoughts exactly kaffs,

i especially  think this part is pertinent, moral pygmies...hahaha

Of course, Mr and Mrs Cameron, your son is right. There are parts of society that are not just broken, they are sick. Riddled with disease from top to bottom.

Just let me be clear about this (It’s a good phrase, Mr and Mrs Cameron, and one I looted from every sentence your son utters, just as he looted it from Tony Blair), I am not justifying or minimising in any way what has been done by the looters over the last few nights. What I am doing, however, is expressing shock and dismay that your son and his friends feel themselves in any way to be guardians of morality in this country.

Can they really, as 650 people who have shown themselves to be venal pygmies, moral dwarves at every opportunity over the last 20 years, bleat at others about ‘criminality’. Those who decided that when they broke the rules (the rules they themselves set) they, on the whole wouldn’t face the consequences of their actions?

Are they really surprised that this country’s culture is swamped in greed, in the acquisition of material things, in a lust for consumer goods of the most base kind? Really?

Where's Soozy?

This has just been tweeted by Sky news:

33-year-old man charged with starting fire which destroyed Reeves Furniture Store in Croydon during London riots

 

The replies to this on Twitter make all of us here look like card carrying tree hugging lefty sandal wearers

You commit a crime you go down.

Christian Dior shirt or not.

Exactamundo.

There is hope for this country. But we must stop looking upwards for it. The politicians are the ones leading the charge into the gutter.

David Cameron was entirely right when he said: “It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society, people allowed to think that the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities, and that their actions do not have consequences.”

He was more right than he knew.

This means you and your kind Dave.
