Sounds like the school is helpful and maybe might be able to enter him into the exam - saves you a job there?

Is there a local home ed. group near you? they should be able to help I reckon and let you know where he can take the exams as well

I don't have anywhere near space for 26t, but unless you need to bag them for storage / management that does sound like adding an extra process to drying them out. However if you are maybe going to get rid of them then it makes sense to bag them sometime - I would still wait till after they are dried a bit though

So a nice easy straight road then!!

I can see this going to "how many of us used to squeeze in the back of the ..... " - driver, passenger, 4 in the back was common, and on special occasions 2 in the boot with the parcel shelf removed so they could hear us shout "duck". Most in a police car... driver, passenger and 4 in the back.....

Lost out to MySpace and Colombia House and only got 2 from Micks list... hoping to get some points back - played a single at 78 speed up from 33, and 2 weeks ago found a bag of VHS dumped in a hedgerow (its been there at least 10 years), old school education, before 'educational' internet films (last 'find' before that was a DVD about 12 years ago). Oh, I also still do some of them - paper maps, cheques, film camera, cds (in the car),, but I have updated blockbuster to Netflix now.

You'd think they'd be queuing to get a nice job that didn't come from inside a human

I do. However are you crossing the threads again and referencing an opinion on another thread? Take it back there. Lets keep a focus on what we are talking about on this one, be a good chap.

... a bit rich again... how many posts this morning Johnson, D? but who lets a cheap dig get in the way of a decent thread, eh?

When most of the copy and paste headlines you post are written by people who are extremely biased, the pieces are poorly researched and in many case, incorrect then a lecture on credibility is a bit rich to be honest. Try to keep it pleasant. Try to avoid the default "Don't like criticism, fire off a cheap insult" reply of yours and perhaps explain why you think the author is a credible one, enlighten us, a nice discussion.

I was just about to post similar!

Likewise, I am not a fan of threads crossing into others, I think it is far better to keep them in their place.

Reading the news just then that the police have had complaints and are looking into the video.

thing I find strangest is that the lad/lass didn't really react just kind of waved it away. Someone put a tongue in my ear would get a very different reaction

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen!

I'm on the work laptop, do I have to look at that one on my own time?

Front lawn is for show you see, back garden has all sorts growing in it quite happily. I don't think I've ever applied a weed killer on either. But every now and then, showing off time.

You'd better go to that thread then to continue that conversation there then, quote me. Back to the 'making news today' and not 'repeating something that happened years ago' thread then....

You should have said you wanted dandelions - I've got hundreds in the garden to dig out this year

You'd better read the post above, it explains how I saw the conversation. An opinion. You'd better also read the post above where I explained that your 'liar' term stems from you not understanding a post where I expressed an opinion you disagreed with. If you think I have told a lie, let me know and also consider whether what I said was an opinion or a lie. I have no clue what you are talking about you see. So back to the topic of the thread, making the news today and green issues, whether they are important. Do try to keep it on track without the ineffective insults, be a good chap.

I'll put in my discussion point here. We got locked down for Covid, within a month the air quality with fewer cars on the roads was noticeably better. A year of lockdowns and insect life was more. Given our freedom back, insect life has decreased and road pollution has reduced the air quality. If ever there was a clear indication of mans activity on the environment that was is - we are not going to have such an abrupt stop and start again - but it is a shame not enough people noticed to make a difference. Green issues are very important.

You won't get an answer, it is an uncomfortable thing for him this week. Can't blame you though Johnson, D, so many conversations going on your head must be spinning faster than Chuckys. Insects. Conversation was something like this (and I am paraphrasing, you can easily go back to read it): SNP and the Scottish Green party are having an argument, Green party is "next to useless and push their agendas". Without green issues being looked at what will happen to wildlife in the UK, as an example insects and bugs.. where are they all, definitely fewer bugs on car windscreens than usual. In France there are loads (I don't suppose we only used to get EU bigs over here, working?). Nearly up to speed now. So bugs are decreasing, discuss. I'll add, are green issues important or not? I am not holding my breath though. Fully expect the playground insults to continue in my direction but hey-ho, that's the way it is.

For terms of reference "lying" refers to "expressing an opinion that you don't agree with". However if that is what you say then it must be true. Right, off you toddle in your rage, I've got work to do.

Anyway, what I was going to post was this news story is very quiet here, amongst the bickering over 2 words: School girl stabbed others in Wales - not a terrorist thing - not related to much that we know yet. Luckily nothing fatal. For an opinion, kind of makes sense to have decent gun control here, if this was in the US I'd be betting the girl wouldn't have been tackled and there would have been a death toll and many more injuries.

You are getting wound up by a drop down box on a form... bit of a reality check needed perhaps? Anyway, to wind you up a little more... Your opinion of the Covid measures was that they damaged childrens mental health greatly and yet adding 2 words onto a box that will make some childrens mental health better is a step too much? Granted it is a very small portion of children however for them very important. So for the sake of consistency, is childrens mental health important, or not? Or does that only apply to the correct type of child and not all?
