Injured man wins damages for sex overdrive

Tue Dec 19, 11:17 AM ET

A devout Christian who said an accident at work boosted his libido and wrecked his marriage as he turned to prostitutes and pornography was awarded more than 3 million pounds ($5.89 million) in damages Tuesday.

Stephen Tame, 29, from Suffolk, suffered severe head injuries in a fall, transforming him from a loyal newlywed into a "disinhibited" character who had two affairs.

He was in a coma for two months after falling from a gantry while working at a bicycle warehouse shortly after his marriage in January 2002. Doctors said it was a miracle he survived.

Awarding him 3.1 million pounds in compensation at London's High Court, Judge Michael Harris said: "His life and the life of his young wife were shattered."

His former employer, Professional Cycle Marketing, of Essex, had argued through their lawyers that his injuries were not as bad as suggested in court.

I am an attractive, smart, humorous guy who wants someone to start a famly with. But dating is sooo hard after thirty. All of the girls I know my age are married or not looking or just not my type. There are several girls who have expressed interest but they don't interest me because they are too old for a family, not compatible, or just not attractive to me. And the women who are single moms: I am not against dating someone with a child, but it makes things harder and I fell I must also really like the child as well. I have thought of going back and taking some classes but many college gals are too young for me, or I am too old for them. I go to church, get on internet dating sites, spend time around friends, and even go up and introduce myself to girls while bowling or even at the supermarket. But alas, it seems she is not out there.

i found what i think is a really neat story about how this guy averages out how many saturdays the average person has in their lifetime. He did this when he was 65 & by averages figured he had about 1000 saturdays left in his life. So he buys 1000 marbles & each saturday gets rid of one marble. He said it sure made him set his priorities straight watching as the marbles got fewer and fewer. It really touched me. Anyway you get the gist.
I was thinking of buying just a couple marbles for each person that will be at my house this Christmas & printing the full story out & saying something along the lines of here's to helping you get started on your Saturdays. Or something like that anyway - will have to think of something.
Wrapping it up and putting them under the tree for everyone. But not saying who it is from. This will be in addition to thier regular gifts.
Good idea or too corny?
Plus if you think it is good - do i have them open marbles or story first?

In rectangle ABCD, point E is the midpoint of line segment BC. If the area of quadrilateral ABED is 2/3, what is the area of the rectangle ABCD?

They expect 11th graders to solve this on the SAT.

Okay well I use to have like 15 friends and now I only have, about 9 or 10. But I don't even do anything to hurt them. Well this girl didn't invite me to her party so I got mad at her. But that's not a good reason.

My ex keeps taking my daughter to different doctors for different things. 2 years ago my daughter missed alot of school from an unknown virus and the affects of mold which weakened her imune system. Last year my ex took my daughter to a doc and got the doc to write an excuse for mono after affects. (My daughter had had mono a year earlier) The doc ran all kinds of tests and found nothing wrong but it was after the doc had writted an excuse from school for 6 weeks.
This year and another doc my ex got an excuse to keep my daughter out of school from Oct thru Jan 07. For depression. My daughter is currently taking 150mg of zoloft. Further my ex is having her tested for imune system deficiency because my ex feels something is wrong with her imune system.
School won't do anything since there are dr excuses, CPS won't do anything unless the drs complain. I have had 2 custody hearings and the judge doesn't want to do any thing.
This is a repeat of what the mom did to who is not 16.

In 1960(ish) I lived in Uppcott House on Uppcot Hill, (I don't know the correct spelling) in Sidford, Sidmouth.
I have been there looking for the address, but cannot find it.
I have searched the net for a map of '60's Sidford, to no avail.
During that period there were new buildings being built near one end.
Maybe it was renamed due to enlargement, or perhaps the whole street was pulled down.
I really need to know. Please, can anyone tell me where it is/went?
