Away With The Fairies

My foster daughter had an E&E exam this morning. She has learning difficulties and is unable to tell me what E&E stands for. Apparently the subject used to be called COPE. Can anyone enlighten me please?

It was supposed to be published at 1600. I said I'd copy it for Hypocrite but I can't find it.

Did I miss it or was it all just empty promises?

Can't see it myself. And it's 30 years old for goodness sake - if they were going to file they really should have done it before now.

What do you think? Can you hear a likeness?

These articles should come with a health warning - I was eating my lunch when I saw this - made me feel quite queasy!

What are your views? Is it right? Is it wrong? Live and let live? An abomination?

I'm not too bothered (so long as they can afford to bring the child up themselves) but I do wish they'd keep their revolting stretch-marked stomachs hidden.

I know absolutely nothing about motor sports. As part of my job I need the dates of all the Grand Prix races worldwide. I've got dates on the official F1 website but don't know if they're all Grand Prix races or if they include some others - for example are the Formula 1 Gran Premio de Espana and the Formula 1 Grosser Preis Santander von Deutschland actually Grand Prix? Or are they other F1 races?

Your expertise would be appreciated!

My husband has just (foolishly in my opinion) dug his car out of more than a foot of snow on our driveway and headed off in the general direction of Berkshire.

I've just seen this on t'internet and couldn't help having a little chuckle: http://uk.video.yahoo.com/watch/6739391/17517757

Have you dared brave the elements in your four-wheeled friend recently?

Here's my tribute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk3Z__7ItJY

Your views on another life cut short too soon?

Am I actually receiving all these points? Because if points mean pounds, I'm a millionaire Rodney!

Mr Ramsay is known for his craggy looks. Yet even he feels the need to mess with nature. How far would you go? £400 for painful injections to get a shiny forehead? Or even further - a facelift perhaps?

Men have now jumped on the botox and fillers bandwagon. Where do you think it will end? Or is this the thin end of the wedge?

Yours views?

I have some information I'd like to share with the police but the person I have the info on is extremely dangerous. I need to be 100% certain Crimestoppers is anonymous.

Have you ever called Crimestoppers?

Did you retain your anonymity?

I know I shouldn't mock the afflicted but I can't get The Munsters theme tune out of my head now ...

Every time I type a capital 'p' my pc automatically takes me to windows media player. I'm having to use lower case here otherwise my case is neatly demonstrated for me!

Do you know how I can stop it happening please? I write for a living and it's getting increasingly difficult avoiding capital 'p's!

Currently, where I live in Surrey we have all been issued with four plastic containers in which to dispose of our household rubbish.

One very large green bin for everything that can be recycled.

One small green bin for all food waste.

One even smaller grey bin to keep indoors for food waste.

One very large grey bin for everything else.

Fine. I'm all for recycling, so it's not a problem despite the ruddy things taking up three-quarters of my garden.

However, I was a little disgruntled (word of the week) this morning when I saw the bin men emptying the food waste straight into the recycled waste bin before depositing the lot (all mixed up together) in the back of their truck.

Can someone explain what this is all about? Am I simply wasting (every pun intended) my time by sorting out my rubbish into different categories?

Is it just me? Perhaps I'm getting old ... but I can't tell the difference!

My son's homework for the summer holidays is to read a biography or an autobiography.

I haven't yet found one that would interest him. He's not into football, which is my biggest problem!

Any ideas?

I went to a dinner party last night, where I and other guests enjoyed

copious amounts of alcohol.

I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as

flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes, etc.

From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested

positive for what experts are now calling Wine Flu.

This debilitating condition is very serious - and it appears this is not

an isolated case.

Reports are flooding in from all around the country of others diagnosed

with WINE FLU.

To anyone that starts to exhibit the aforementioned tell-tale signs,

experts are recommending a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down.

However, should your condition worsen, you should immediately hire a DVD

and take some Nurofen (Nurofen seems to be the only drug available that

has been proven to help combat this unusual type of flu). Others are

reporting a McDonald's Happy Meal can also help in some cases.

Wine Flu does not need to be life threatening and, if treated early, can

be eradicated within a 24-48 hour period.

If not, then further application of the original liquid, in similar

quantities to the original dose, has been shown to do the trick.

There is one other known variation of wine flu ... this is known as WHINE FLU - usually only suffered by men.

Under 10s can't be prosecuted as they're under the age of 'responsibility'.

If your child was responsible for one of these crimes, would you take the law into your own hands? How would you handle the situation in your home?

By now, surely we all know someone who's got it or had it. Are any of you still insulated and/or isolated enough to have escaped contact?

Just wondering where I need to be to escape the dreaded lurgy ...

Yummy.

I know I would (reckon he would too!)

What about you?
