Wow, I never realised that so many people hated Maths! I hated other subjects such as Geography and Religious Studies, but nowhere near as much as I hated Maths. I had zero interest in it, and I actually think your theory may be right because I was more into English and English Literature, which...

Wow, definitely a travesty of the highest order! I mean, what's wrong with these people, are they well? Just because someone wants to be eaten, they are happy to oblige?! It's just bizarre. Does it not occur to them that said person may not be sane? Well, my worry is this police officer will...

I see where both Gabe and thegrey1 are coming from. First off, I would have thought a mixed colour jury would be be more ideal to remove any suspicion of bias along colour lines. But by the same token, I have no real problem with the jury being all white as long as there's no reason to believe...

Aww, thanks a lot Bala. Good to see you here, too :) I'll be sure to remember people are willing to answer questions and share their knowledge. I'm still trying to find my feet and learn to navigate my way around the site. As soon as I have got my head wrapped around it, I'll be sure to share an...

Thanks, Gabe :) I finally made it and there's quite a lot of stuff to go through LOL I also like it because like you say, there are different people from all walks of life, and I see quite a few familiar faces, which is very assuring :)

The first thing I do when I first wake up is brush my teeth and jump in the shower. That way, I am instantly awake and my mouth feels and tastes ready for me to have my coffee and breakfast. I just can't function before I've brushed my teeth and had a shower. Then i'm raring to go and it's...

Oh wow, what a creepy and seemingly random thing to happen. No luckily, I've never had this happen to me ever! Did you have your windows open? I mean, I'm not scared of bats per se, but let's face it, they have the weirdest looking little faces and I don't like the way they flap about at all. I...

This comes across as if the robbers were totally at home, in no rush whatsoever. They were there to collect, not to steal and I'm of the strong opinion that they had some help from the inside; someone with whom they are no doubt going to share the pie. It would be very interesting to see how the...

I too wouldn't have a problem with it, but then I'm not directly connected with the area. I agree with Gabe that it would be better to wait for the case to conclude, too; that way the film would be more all rounded. The locals might have a strong opinion on it and it may be a good idea to...

If it weren't for the weather, I'd probably opt for London. I lived in England for ages and absolutely hated British weather, it seemed to get worse with each year! So I'd probably consider Milan, Rome or somewhere in Italy because I love the country, the food, the culture and the fashion :)

Hey Shimus, good to see you here :) Thank you very much! It's always lovely to see familiar faces, because you instantly feel at home. Yea me too, can't wait to share some ideas and engage in some "juicy and meaty" discussions. Looking forward to seeing you around, mate :)

I can totally relate to what's going on in California, because Botswana has had an ongoing drought for years too. We could do with the same stringent laws. It seems harsh, but when you hear that we've nearly exhausted our main water supply/source, it's pretty scary. We rarely get any rain, and...

Hehe missbishi, peas lol? I LOVE peas! On a serious note, as I've got older I've learnt that stressing over things you have no control over is pretty pointless. I'm learning to be more positive, and not to stress as much because I mean, no amount of stressing will change the outcome! There's...

I also have a catalogue of pet peeves, some of which include the ones everyone has mentioned. But the other ones I have are: - People I call the "me, me's", people who talk over you and don't have any listening skills. As long as you're talking, they glaze over and will do anything to bring the...

It's bad enough that this man was beating on a helpless child who can't defend himself. What gets my blood boiling is all the people collecting and watching, and like someone said, capturing the whole nasty incident on the phone; rather than trying to intervene. These days people claim to fear...

Something's not right here! I am inclined to agree with you, all evidence points to it having been an inside job, and a big one at that. It's baffling that although the alarm was raised with Scotland Yard, they simply felt it wasn't worth investigating! The timeline is also very suspect, from...

I do have to say I don't like the way internet trolls can really make someone's life miserable. It's not face to face, but it is cyber bullying; and some people are just not equipped to deal with it and don't have the foresight to just IGNORE them, lest it gets uglier and uglier. I have...

This is scary beyond words! I mean, the man asked for a specific child; how was he able to identify the child, by name, by describing him; just how?! It sounds like something's not quite adding up here because if he wanted a specific child but the family claim to not him it's very baffling. I...

No, there is just no way I could do this and be happy within myself! Like the OP said, there are certain lines that you just don't cross, and this for me is one of the classic examples. There is that unwritten law that we all have to abide by. Even if I were seriously attracted to him and we had...

Hi y'all. I'm a newbie and look forward to interacting with you all! I enjoy taking part in discussion forums about all sorts of topics that affect our lives. So I'm sure I've come to the right place, where I'll be able to enjoy many different topics around safety (among others) with like-minded...
