Yeah, I think that's better. If you've given up with maths at 16, carrying on until you're 18 ain't gonna help. When I was in primary school there was a really rigorous focus on the three Rs - we did loads of mental arithmetic, calculators weren't allowed into school at all and learnt long division ...

So, Carol's been furthering her political career by examining maths teaching in schools, and has recommended everyone learn maths until they're 18, and that the GCSE be split into two: practical and theoretical. I might be being a bit dim, but hasn't she noticed an awful lot of people leave school a...

What annoys me more is when people use annoying abbreviations/acronyms. I've seen people put HTH quite a lot on here ("Hope this helps" apparently) among other things, and while it's possible to Google all of these things or work it out, it's a waste of time. The poster might be saving th...

Just as an observation, since "Punctuation" isn't a sentence, not having a verb an' all, you don't need a full stop at the end of it.

Plus many forces have had quite a big drive towards positive discrimination, although I'm not claiming for a minute that numbers are anywhere near right yet. Do you consider this a good thing?

In fairness to the anti-police sentiment, every po-lease I've ever met has been racist. Not quite.

Best way to get over one woman's to get over another one, eh? ;) Funnily enough when someone's bereaved it's quite common to get into another relationship quickly; I read an article that suggested it's because they're used to being in a loving relationship.

Try the disabled toilets in a Marks and Spencer. They've got airblades in them and its own private locking door*. Make sure you don't electrocute yourself in any current passing up your jizz tho.

Taxies? If it's not the correct plural isn't it the verb form? Sorry if I'm being thick, I haven't got the 3r. Amazed they've taken out taxying too, just cos it look less ugly than taxiing. Chuffed they've added the RENEGUER/S though, 'bout time too.
