This is not just a rant, I am deeply concernced by the lack of effectiveness of the UK police force I will explain why.

There have recently been a number of stupid arrests like the man found in possesion of an egg "with intent to throw" the person arrested for criminal damage for drawing on the pavement in chalk. This however is just the tip of the iceberg recently a colleague of mine was robbed he reported the incident then rang the police force a week later to ask if any progress had been made, he was informed that it would be two weeks before the matter is looked into. Next there are the people that were imprisoned for using imperial measurements to sell from their market stalls, they have been pardoned now, but why did I never see any lawsuits against big companys using imperial measurements to sell televisions and other products? It was also reported last year that they were not tracking drug dealers because they had met their arrest target in that feild.

Whats happening?

My boyfriend and I want to get a house. I want modular so it can be designed the way we want, more energy efficient and less costly. Whereas he wants something that has been built by someone else. Who knows how many years ago it was built, he says it will last longer than a modular and be more sturdy. Normally moving into a house that someone else owned is gonna mean that things will have to be fixed, changed and more money will be spent remodeling etc. What do you guys think? Any experiences with modular homes? Any problems with them?

I have a friend who, every time he sees me, screams out "Waazzzz Uuuup?" I mean every time. It gets very annoying. Another friend, when she talks to you, ends every sentence with "You understand me?" You understand me? Bugs the hell out of me.

We recently had digital phone hooked up. We had cable for the computer and tv for years. I heard great things about digital phone, which, eh, it's ok. Clarity is not so great, even with a 5.8MH phone which is brand new.
That's not my problem though.
We have a security system for our home, and that was installed 12yrs ago and is hooked up to the telephone line.
Apparently when cable goes out for just a second, our alarm sounds. It happened last night at 2am.
One box (alarm system) is located in my son's closet which is locked and I do not have a key. I would assume that is where the hook up is for the telephone cable.
Second box is in my other son's room, which is the electrical supply.
The company that installed the system is no longer in business.
My question is:
How do I get into the metal 20" X 15" box to disconnect the telephone line and which line is it , and how to do this without interupting the normal functions of alarm. It is not monitored.

Why is it when you get it your way you feel bad and feel like a jerk and that you shouldn't have even insisted but you really needed it to be this way. And when you give in you feel mad and like they are selfish and always get their way? Is there every any winning?

well i first trained him at home. this is what i did:
i had a pocketful of kibble and held some in my hand. i had the leash short but not tight to avoid tension between us. i led him beside me with the kibble in front of his face so he followed it while he was beside me so he knows that walking beside me is good. everything was great at home so then i tried it outside at night were distractions were at a minimum. lucky for me, no one walked past or interfered. when i tried it downstairs, he completely ignored the kibble (still on leash) and looked away listening to every sound there was. i tried it again and again and he did it twice successfully. i rewarded him greatly for those two. then i tried to make him sit beside me which took a lot of effort. once again, he ignored the kibble and i had to make him look at me until he finally sat. i rewarded him greatly for this as well. on the way back upstairs, i tried it and he did it perfectly just like at home and never pulled.

...we all know Britain was invaded by William in 1066 but I feel Britain was invaded again in 1948 when the 'Empire Windrush' landed at Tilbury docks bringing the first wave of imigrants...for they have been coming ever since and in my opinion, constiture an invasion of England. Had they come with guns and bullets we would have fought to the death to repel them but instead they simply bought a ticket and we welcomed them with open arms. An invasion by stelth.

The England our fore-farthers fought and died for has been given away. These heros must be turning in their graves....for as more and more imigrants come so more and more English people leave.

This latest invasion may have taken 60 years but we have lost...my England is lost.

Is he doing an about face? Does this mean that the US is dependent on Iran to salvage a bit of face-saving stability in Iraq? Why does he think now that Teheran should take a “productive role” in Iraq’s security after a 25-year break in diplomatic relations with them? Are voters recognizing the about-face Bush has done with Iran, and is this apparent to voters? (I'm living in Europe, and don't have on-the-street opinions... except from tourists.)
