I've asked here before about this subject - and I need some more advice.

My 10 year old boy is being systematically bullied at school by quite a few different children - but 2 in particular. It's bullying of the worst kind - kicking, punching, name calling etc. Every day after school he has a new bruise to show me.

I wrote a formal letter of complaint to the head, and then went in for a meeting with her, the class teacher and the deputy. Of course, they were very sympathetic etc - but that doesn't get us very far.

Today I was stopped at the gates by a mum who told me that she'd just had to rescue my Jack who was lying on the ground being kicked by two boys. She told me that she was so upset by what she'd seen that she felt close to tears.

This school has a "no blame policy" and as far as I can tell, there are no punishments either - just a telling off, which does no good at all.

I'm at my wit's end - what do I do? Can I inform the police - and if I do, will they act?

I heard a little bird say that the Repbulicans still control the Executive, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. I'm not sure if its true or not because the Democrats are making it seem like they've won everything, but could you help clear this up for me?

I'm using Win X, and I've got a 250g SATA hard drive installed and plugged in, when I look in computer management>disk management - I can see it in the list. It's unallocated though, against my other drive which shows allocated and has blue bar on it, so any ideas?

Sure I did it once long time back, but forgot what I did.

An eighty year old couple decide to try for a child. They visited the doctor who asks the old geezer to produce a sperm sample in a bottle. After two weeks, the couple return and the bottle is empty. "Whats the problem?" asks the doctor. "Well," says the old man, "First I tried it with my right hand, then my left. Then my wife tried it with her right hand, then her left. Then she tried it with her teeth in and with her teeth out,

and we still cant get the lid off the bloody bottle."
