Fair enough. Just to be clear, I'm not tarring all the with same brush, but talking from experience of a few nasties I've encountered over the years. But so long as you're on the case - all good. TBH I got confused as to which M'hod you were talking about

Chocoholic

Probably the same type of people that stop their cars where there's an accident, and film people being pulled out their cars or scraped off the road!

Just to clarify to EH and BM I didn't watch and will not watch such things.

Showing things for historical purposes is slightly different though. It cannot be put in the same basket as showing 'real-life' executions on the internet for the blood thirsty section of humanity. EH, you can dress it up any which way you like and make wild, grasping comparisons between reality and...

Is this joker for real? LOL Noooo lady not married to man staying in hotel is not allowed. Would you like a mattress in your jail cell? Or will the concrete floor do?

Chocoholic

I miss stuff like Monty Python and the Goonies.

Chocoholic

But teenagers will be teenagers, what she's telling you and what they're actually doing could be two completely different things - hormones raging and all that. And she met these guys on Face Book? Come on BM, sorry but you're being a tad naive about the whole thing. Boys - of any nationality and cu...

And the old 'you don't have kids so you don't know what you're talking about' line comes up. That maybe true, but I have worked in schools and done various projects with youngsters over the years. I'm surprised as I never come across any parent so far who has said 'I truest my child 100%' most don't...

I think a factor that's been left out of the article, is probably the fact that many of these cohabiting couples who've split, probably had their children at a very young age - I mean we have 14, 15, 16 year olds on average having children now, which is ridiculous. My parents have been together 40 y...

Probably just catch the highlights to be honest, more likely to be hitting the water and doing something productive with my Friday. Brits love stuff like this, it brings a sense of unity and togetherness and of course the Yanks love anything Brit and Royal!

Come on BM, you read about it all the time, it's the latest fashion accessory for the young and trendy - to have a baby. It's such a huge problem in some areas, that some schools now have creches. In 2005 the UK had the highest rate of under 16's pregnancies of Western Europe, that has dropped just ...

I never said you didn't know what you are talking about, In fact I thanked you for your advice. I do trust Beth 100%. She's a lovely girl. Well it's nice that you have such a great relationship with your daughter. Just sad that teenage boys, well all men in general tend to think with their 'small' ...

Chocoholic

BM, sadly the article and stuff we're talking about is a bit wider than just your world. You don't have to constantly relate to your daughter and her friends, the UK is a bit bigger than that. It's a massive problem and one that's not going to be dealt with in a short time. Education is the way to go.

Chocoholic

Well I've got a little insight, after having to go back to driving school to do my motorcycle license, because of no prior experience I have to do 30 lessons and some theory. How much theory? Two lectures - TOTAL! And all they did in the lectures was go through the driving handbooks and the possible...

"There are lies, damned lies and statistics" then of course, on top of that, there are flagrantly misleading newspaper articles and thread titles! :shock: :lol: I know, I thought it was going to be something exciting like a weird disease wiping people out of something - oh the disappointm...

I know you are well meaning, guys, but let’s not tell parents how to raise their kids. I’m sure BM is well aware of all these dangers in Dubai!! Aren’t you, dear!??? 8) 8) Sadly TJ, in this place some parents absolutely do need to be told how to raise their kids and especially how to discipline the...

Mmm remember that phrase 'Patience is a virtue'. A couple of stories, went off to Thailand in January and amusing how all the Dubaiites thought they could act the same way and queue jump and be pains, oh what a shock they got from Thai immigration and security when they opened up new lanes and usher...

All day! I will be watching it live from 09:00 on SKY News in it’s full High Definition Glory, from the musical rides of the Household Cavalry, the synchronised performances of the Massed Bands troop, the ceremonial carriages which have carried generations of Royals before the happy couple, the Iri...

It's called heavy duty medication - not ideal - but thanks

LOOOOL nice one!

Hehehehe nice! Well I dread to think what they're going to make me ride - a knackered 200cc piece of crud probably lol

Most likely be the Bajaj Pulsar 180cc...thats a sports bike in India! It certainly won't be a Hero Honda Hunk!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight N...

^ Don't you think you're asking a lot of Americans when the English can't speak the language properly (And I'm not even sure what language the Irish and Scottish speak, but you should probably get them to speak our common tongue before you re-Anglicize (whoops) the Americans, dontchya think?)?

erm it's FOOTBALL! NOT Soccer or Kickball! Who the heck calls it that? American football is gay, it's lame, the pansies have to wear padding. You missed of the real mans game of RUGBY! Americans have been tolerant of others sports? Oh please don't make me laugh. They took proper sports and made them...

Chocs, I dare you to try lacrosse or hockey :twisted: LOL I was a mean Hockey player at school K - loved the game, forgot about that one and ice-hockey is vicious! @EH, FOOTBALL used to be the beautiful game, now it's marred by hooligans and idiots and players that could win an Oscar for their perf...

Try Sean Connery, beautiful accent, just a shame he can't do any other accents.

Chocoholic

Why do they call it American Football anyways? American sports involve mainly hands and arms . A ball should be kicked! I like sports with constant action, or at least something to watch. Many years ago I was invited to a watch the Super Bowl. There is action for 5 seconds and than minutes nothing....

Seriously Mel, give it a rest, we're over that already. Oh and the answer to your question is a bit of a brain, ingenuity and an idea!

You know Rb has been on the verge of bankrupcy several times, but he always manages to pull it back again. He's borrow a fortune to help build his empire. His autobiographies are great reading.
