It was on BBC news this morning that footballers WAGs are good role models for todays young girls because most of them have acheived at least 5 A-C grade GCSE's prior to marrying/ getting together with famous footballers.

This apparently teaches girls that education is important and it gets you places (because apparently a lot of these women now have their own businesses).

It didn't mention the fact that they are supper skinny (unhealthily so) and may have gotten where they are in the business world financed by their partners earnings and not on their GCSE's

Forgive me, I may be an education snob but I would hope that my children will aspire to acheive a bit more than 5 A-C grade GCSE's!!!!

What do you think of this report?

you may or may not agree, but I do believe that this has to do with the power of prayer from the hundreds of wellwishers around the world
Your comments please?

... by her father in Melbourne before he flew to LA? And her mother's body was found outside their home in New Zealand in the boot of the husband's car (after NZ Keystone Kopz took days to even think 'Duh, maybe we should look in the car')?

Just wondering - have any of you Americans heard anything about this, because the trail seems to have gone cold? This man Xue Naiyin, or Nai Yin Xue, is still at large ... are they even looking for him?

Thanks to a chap who shall remain nameless, I can now consider myself officially bullied on here and I'm wondering what to do next. Can anyone help me choose what my response should be? The choices are;

1. Cry and whinge about it on here and try to solicit sympathy because I have low-esteem values and no friends in real life and am generally a bit of a sad git?

2. Make a cup of tea?

3. Create numerous multiple-IDs and start up a rival campaign to harrass the bully into seeing the error of their ways?

3. Empty them?

4. Go down the local Co-op and nick their mousetraps?

or

5. Ignore it and get on with my life because it doesn't really matter one iota and realise that there are better things to do with my time than worrying what other people are saying because we only get one life to live so why spend it obsessing on here and making a fool of myself for all to see?

THE father of Madeleine McCann stunned hotel staff by organising a game of tennis while the massive hunt for his daughter was under way, it was revealed yesterday. Waiter Jose Baptista, 45, told how the staff were amazed by the calm demeanour of Gerry McCann and his wife Kate in the agonising days after Madeleine disappeared. Heart specialist Gerry, 39, is also said to have regularly wandered down to the tapas bar at the family’s holiday complex where he was given free bottles of wine to take back to his apartment. Mr Baptista added that staff at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz rarely saw the McCanns display any emotion away from the TV cameras. “If my kid disappeared I’d go insane. I wouldn’t be able to function. They’d have to lock me away,” said Mr Baptista. “They were so cool about it. All the staff commented about how they were able to play tennis and take things calmly. Everybody around them seemed more upset than they were.

Its strange but if we think about it, all kinds of catastrophies have been happening since we practically invaded Iraq. Did we forget 9/11, and what about that plane that went down in queens,ny right after? No one mentioned the plane incident was terrorism or not? Why are these fires only happening in America (in our dry places?). What about the dry places elswhere?
Could it be that our goverment is using some kind of anti-terrorism strategy that might rid sleeper cells?
Makes me wonder!! And could our secret societies have something to do with it also??

What are your opinions about Bush's new plans to draw Cuba away from communism? I'm am wondering WHY? Aren't we fighting one war, why would he want to go and start something with Cuba?? Cuba is minding their business, we should start doing the same. What good would come out of that? Why is the US always trying to "fix" other countries with there are MANY problems and issues that needs to be "fix" right here at home?

Seriously, what's up? Denials of World War 2 atrocities? Calls for a new military? Hyper-nationalist television shows and newspapers?

Are people crazy? Why would anyone want to rile up international tensions by denying something that happened sixty years ago? How can people be so naive and stupid, to be proud of the most destructive and heinous period of their history?

Just wondering you thoughts on this situation. There are people in LA that are still living in fema RV's/portables after years. I can't wait to see how long it will take CA to rebuild. Don't get me wrong I feel bad for all the people involved but don't you think something's wrong with this picture?

and is anyone else more than a little disturbed by the overwhelming response and proactive measures being taken in Santa Monica, compared with the lack of assistance or preparation in New Orleans? I mean, I'm all for learning from our mistakes, but I have a sneaking suspicion that doesn't have as much to do with it as I would like.
