OK, so I saw the article in the paper yesterday, where the police have launched an initiative to raise awareness about strapping children in, in cars and that parents who don't will be fined. Erm TWO WEEKS!!!! This should be an ongoing campaign! And what the hell is wrong with parents who let their ...

Who knows, they do random pardonings every now and then, especially during ramadan.

However I do think the sentence was uncalled for, for goodness sake he could have stepped in it anywhere.

Chocoholic

Well exactly, he was hardly in possession now was he in the first place, he should enver have been convicted of anything.

Chocoholic

Pffff well really depends on how nice you are to the forumers to begin with, you got on my bad side from the word go matey!

MC, you poor lamb, you could be running around for ages trying to find your owner, or maybe you'll just have to persuade someone to adopt you - don't look at me!

The mods on the forum have all been around for years, made thousands of posts and have basically been nominated by members and validated by Andyba and Smartd - oh and you have to be special - like me

Chocoholic

Spoilsport! There are 7 people being investigated over the running of the site by the police because of the harrassment of people like Tammy, Dion and Justin.

Maybe you just put a big old spanner in the works!

Chocoholic

Ouch! That's not good. Keep a food diary and see if anything your eating triggers it, anything new you've added. I find red wine, too much chocolate and mature cheese can do it for me. Is there a particular time in the month when you're very stressed out? Sometimes this can cause tension in the neck...

Chocoholic

But our beloved Andyba is rarely around these days

Chocoholic

Sounds very much stress related to me. Try taking some time to chill out, do some meditation, get a monthly massage to relax everything.

Following on from the Costa Coffe thread, watch out if you go to Traders in the Crowne Plaza as they also over charge for the drinks. They'll give you some random price which will be over the actual cost of what you ordered and you won't notice till they give you a bill, which they don't unless you ...

My goodness, only in Dubai could you get away with posting an ad like that! Anywhere else and you'd be in trouble for being ageist and s.e.xist!

Chocoholic

Unfortunately Craig, with some nationalities, that is the only way they will learn.

Chocoholic

True, however age is a different matter. You can't judge someone's experience because of their age and you shouldn't rule out older people either.

Chocoholic

erm death is but a change from one form to another, seeing as everything in the universe is made up of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed it merely changes form one form to another. There IS no good religion, all religion is EVIL!!! It's an invention by man to instill control upon others. I believe ...

Chocoholic

Religion is misused - and all religions fare badly in that they have their extremes - even Buddhism is not exempt. Apartheid was justified using the bible for instance! Live and let live is a good principle to live by. Yeah, I second to that and hoping more people will come to think of this princip...

Can I have some Sushi please? I like my fish raw!

Chocoholic

Hey Shaf,

I don't mind what people believe in, it's their right to believe whatever they want. What I can't stand are these preaching posts.

Religion and belief is a personal thing.

Chocoholic

Arnie's probably right. And even though the other guy was effectively undertaking (illegal move) and driving what could be considered wrecklessly and in an intimidating way, the law won't see that as an excuse for assault. The police hold the passports and that of a family member or friend, so the p...

Oh please the ancient Egyptians and Greeks knew all this before for Koran was written.

Chocoholic

To be honest with you JJ, I really just don't care. I have my belief and others have theirs, what I;m sick and tired of is people trying to convince me of something, which quite frankly I just have no interest in. Life's too short! Just live it! And what really ticks me off, is that if people choose...

Age is but a number!

I'd also like to find ahome for Monty. He was thrown out years ago, and has been the resident Tom cat in the area. I have recently taken him under my wing and he now has a better trust in people again. The poor thing only uses three of his legs and I'm currently having vets treat him to solve the pr...

Chocoholic

Grrrrrrrr! It makes my blood boil! Seen so many people with kids bouncing around their cars this morning! What's wrong with them?

Chocoholic

What the 'Romance' DVD's!?

Chocoholic

Listen here you! There is NO excuse for putting the life of a child at risk! There are seatbelts in the car - USE THEM!!! What really gets me angry, is when you see the parents strapped in and not the children. I've seen what happens when a child goes through the windscreen - there is nothing left t...

Chocoholic

YOU arrived! And everyone else left - get the hint!

Chocoholic

Whether I have children or not is besides the point! Children rely on adults to keep them safe, and parent that deliberately fails to do this should be punished for wilfull endangerment. I can only assume by your attitude and complete lack of a basic understanding of how to keep children safe - that...

Chocoholic

You can go to somewhere like Carrefore and buy a SIM card and mobile.

You just need to take a passport copy and copy of the visa.

There are internet hotspots, but very few are 'free'.

Chocoholic

I am sorry but when it comes to child safety - NO NO NO!!!! Everyone needs to take stock! I have work on several initiatives with the police here FYI. YOU are also quick at making assumptions about people yourself, so why don't you stop and take note and think before you press the send button. I've ...

Chocoholic

No thanks! Anyway why do you insist on trashing a thread on such an important subject? Are that irgnorant to the fact that tens of children die every year because of their parents being irresponsible! Deaths which so easily could have been prevented, if they only used a seatbelt?! You're very selfis...
