Ha thought you'd like that. It wasn't just The Beatles but all sorts of 60s and 70s songs like the New Seekers and a few others. Looking back I question the choices of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Puff The Magic Dragon, though I guess they are still less harmful than hymns.

My uncle gave me one saying 'Nothing says happy birthday like a piece of folded card' which I quite liked. It's kind of changed my perception of buying cards, I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the funniest one, now I don't really give much of a shit and just go to the Card Factory and get something for a quid.

Surely it comes down to how parents raise their kids rather than what they learn about the bible and or other religions at school. I did learn some of the bible stories in primary school and we sang hymns (though we sang more Beatles songs) but nothing really stuck, probably because my folks made no attempt to take me to church and I wasn't even Christened. RE was a doss lesson at secondary school but we did actually learn about other religions pretty much equally so had its uses in understanding other people. I doubt I know one deeply religious person.

Are there any senior Republican politicians that want tighter gun control? Is one of them becoming President the best/only chance for change?
-
I prayed for a miracle pretty much every night this time last year when my Mum was in her final stages of cancer. It didn't come and I didn't have any real expectation of it working, but I guess I felt a little better for trying. To be honest I've always though of religion as a load of bollocks but when you are desperate you would try anything.

If ever there was an award for most pointless poll, I think that might win it. Only 10% of 18-24 year olds believe they should do compulsory military service, who'd a thunk it.
-
It seems insane that the same people who are so scared of the government will vote for the most unstable and mental President with a seeming fetish for military parades on their streets. The whole gun debate is absurd, it defies any logic.

I tried watching but a load of Scotch and Chinese lasses screeching isn't good on the ears.

There's no way anyone can make that much mess and not need a shower afterwards. They must have done the rest of their shift stinking of shit.

Scarily similar to one I often have, I've skipped all my lessons at college without anyone realising and suddenly it's exam day.
-
Luckily our year group tutor groups was done in sets and I was in the top one so had plenty of boffins to copy off during registration in the morning. History or English essays I had to do on Sunday mornings but anything else was a candidate for last minute copying.

Almost everyone on that list is a cockwomble. It's satisfying that they haven't got a club, let them rot.

He even made Real shit to watch, so nothing new there.

Yeah **** me Sundays used to be depressing once Football Italia was over. Don't get me started on Last Of The Summer Wine, or Lloyd Grossman era Masterchef. Painful.

Songs Of Praise

Don't forget Gladiators. To be fair I quite like Strictly, it actually seems to involve a bit of talent. Ghey I know.

I had the same problem looking for antihistamine in Walgreens on holiday at Clearwater Beach, I can't remember how much they were exactly but it was eye-watering.

The fine doesn't actually have to be that much, it's amazing what a difference 5p per plastic bag has made to people's habits when shopping for example. Putting a price on it might be a better way of making people understand how inconsiderate it is to miss an appointment, or not notify. It doesn't have to be more than £5, and GPs or other doctors must know those who are most vulnerable and can waive the fee if they choose.
-
Then phone up and cancel. There's a difference between cancelling an appointment even at short notice and just not turning up.
-
I failed my first test just because I was dangerously shit at driving. In the end he put my out my misery about halfway through and he drove us back to the centre. Passed next time somehow, and for the first six months on the road I was petrified. I did get better over time to be fair.

Indeed, you'd either have to make NHS staff detectives which is going to be a massive waste of their time and incredibly difficult, or pay for new staff whose job it is to interrogate every patient which is also hugely difficult and pretty unpleasant. I agree that people who don't turn up for appointments should get fined, the other day when I went to see my GP there 76 missed appointments across the week, which is outrageous imo.

Sherwood would constantly throw players under the bus publicly in his interviews to cover for his ineptitude, with his pathetic 'just about to cry' face. Lambert keeping us up for a couple of years was a minor miracle under the circumstances. No doubt he was a defeated man by the end and he's kept quiet until relatively recently about what was going on. Sherwood is and always will be a complete muppet.

The problem is the NHS is used as a political football every 4 or 5 years. I like the idea of having an NHS tax that is set by an independent body that is set for 10 years or so.
-
That walking football is popular nowadays. I have to say I always found there's a balance between not being arsed and running round like a clearing in the woods like it's the FA Cup final. Nothing worse than people go running round like a Duracell rabbit taking it ultra seriously.
