Heard mixed reports about pay per drop - any other cheap but good courier services? I need to courier the camera my dad is giving me from Portsmouth to Teesside. Its not urgent so I don't need next day or even 48hr service. Would rather use a company someone has good experience of! Thanks

that's a great, well thought out considered response, totally agree

Awful story, and I agree that children are a product of their environment an they learn what they live. He'll have had this future mapped out ahead of him before he was even conceived. Sad truth is there are a lot of kids born in this country who just don't have even a fighting chance of turning out right because they are born to no more than mere kids themselves. I think its all too easy to blame "single mothers" (I was one for years, pretty sure I'm doing a good job of perenting Tasha and bringing her up right). It goes much deeper than this and its too easy blaming just political parties and saying the answer is to bring back capital punishment (personally I will never believe that the state has a right to take someone's life and I firmly believe 2 wrongs don't make a right, although i do agree prison sentencing should be tougher and life inside should be harder) The question is WHY are kids as young as 11 having sexual relationships? And why are the consequences of sexualising children not being looked at from the bigger perspective? To me it seems that as a society we are all rather focussed on material wealth and gains without much focus on developing the skills and work ethic to obtain material things, plus there is a whole underclass of kids born to kids who have never worked, where alcohol and drug abuse starts at an early age because if family history of drug.alcohol use and slowly but surely there are more and more people having children younger and younger, and these child parents are failed by the education system because their own parents were failed by the education system and its just too simple to say don't give single mothers anywhere to live or support. In an ideal world of course we wouldn't have school age parents but in order to prevent that, an awful lot of work and education needs to take place at grass roots levels to try to help these poor b@stards before the rot sets in. How DO you reach kids like this with drug addict parents who don't know what its like to come from a loving family? and how do you stop them having sex/kids/taking drugs/getting into trouble and, worst case scenario, end up committing murder? I'm not defending this lad at all, and he should be punished accordingly but I don't think its as simple as forcing teenage girls/drug users/criminals to have abortions - to my mind that's not too far from the Nazis/far right way of thinking

Brindle Bull Mastiff Bitch £450.00 08 December 2010 1 year old brindle bull mastiff bitch in need of 5 star home. Due to change in personal circumstances this lovely dog needs a new home. She is a very loving dog and until recently lived with cats and another dog with no problems. She loves everyone she meets and there is not a nasty bone in her body. She is not neutered as due to her being a great example of her breed and her unusual markings she was going to have a litter of pups. She loves nothing more than a good walk and a loves a run. She is great with other dogs although the faces on the owners of some of the smaller dogs is great! She just loves to play! She plays ball, although has been known to cheat and eat said ball. She loves to find the biggest stick possible and trip you up with it. She is great in the car - just sits and stares at the poor people in cars behind, she walks nicely on the lead and doesn't pull. She loves the beach, the snow, in fact she just loves everything! She is for sale through absolutely no fault of her own. Can forward pics via a text. For any further information please text/ring/email. Contact Details: Michelle Tel: 07792713262 Email: michelle.revell68@ntlworld.com Taken from the intranet at work

more snow in Teesside this morning. We still have over a foot on the ground, on top of about 6" of compacted ice and its not been above freezing for 2 weeks. It has been -10 this week. Awful. I hate winter

I would have porridge every day if I had time, but as it is I run round like a blue arsed fly getting ready getting my daughter ready for school, out the door at 7.50am, and I usually have a bowl of muesli or cornflakes at my desk at 9.30am. Usually takes me an hour to eat in in between phone calls lol

I use that, listerine actually peels the inside of my mouth!

Minus 9 here in Boro, its unbelievably cold!! Daz and Alan, waaaaaaaay to much info there lol :scared:

I'd have one in a heartbeat. A neighbour has one in a sort of moonlight silvery, its stunning

Yes but you're a dealer and get stuff at rock bottom prices! I'm joe public so have to pay the same as everyone else! Price seems to be market value to me

Ta, my mum had the 3 door version of this car for years, same colour and everything and it was rock solid reliable so although I don't really like 5 door cars and am not sold on the looks of the car I know it'll do the job and leave me savings for uni and doing a few house jobs :cool2:

??

2000, x reg

Hmm, will be a bit busy starting uni lol

Exactly! 68k on the clock, fsh, 1 owner, bargainous at £1300

My dad said Portsmouth is quite bad now. Over a foot deep in places here in Teesside. I drove in a blizzard earlier on the A19 which was a bit hairy!! Never really seen snow like this what with being a southerner and all!

Do dogs love snow? Because today this Staffy came legging it over to me in the snow, wagging from head to foot and all excited, as if to say "LOOK! Look at this snow! Isn't it GREAT?!" before rolling in it and then showing me her belly. I obliged with a snowball which she seemed to love lol

Its not pretty but its cheap, practical, reliable and it'll dink dank do me til I finish uni

Seen it today, its immaculate, always been garaged - just off to seal the deal in a minute....

:happybday: Happy 50th Gary, have a really fun day!
