How can you try and prevent your child from speaking with their local accent? Surely it's inevitable and who wants everyone sounding the same?

Lets get a few thing straight I don't kiss anyones @rse me and busy are friends i have many friends on here with whom i exchange in a little bit of IM because we are fellow geordies we have a lot in common.
I have have come to 2 possible conclusions about you, (A) Your a prepubescent boy who's testicles have not dropped and spend all day playing with yourself fantisising about your sister or (B) You are madly in love with Busy (nothing wrong with that she is a lovely lady like many on here) but your an obese balding middle aged man who has not seen his feet in years and because your sexually frustrated and know your never going to EVER get a real woman you attack anyone who has any contact with a woman.
Chin up though there is help you can enrol in weight watchers or buy a keep fit DVD. If your a little boy well wait a few years and learn from real men how to talk to ladies, ask santa nicely and he might just put some hair on your tallywhacker if you want advice on women IM me mate.

HIs newscast always starts with something negative and borders on Anti-Americanism. No wonder why NBC is suffering in the polls.

The "Global Warming HOAX" is robbing you of your freedoms and lifestyle through the "NEW WORLD ORDER". This is about Power and sovereignty, not the climate!! The earth's warming is a natural occurring cyclic phenomena that has occurred for millions of years long before the industrial age.
Please wakeup and do your own research on this and recognize God is in control of the earth's climate, not the government!!.. HELLO!!
Just look at the new costs and Limits (new proposed controls and laws) your going to have to pay!! All except the elite like Gore,,
Al Gore please go home and pay your $11,000+ power bill

Oil is bought by dollar. When pound was weak against dollar, prices rose. Pound is now very strong against dollar, yet prices have rocketed recently. WHY!!!

I realise that most of you are unemployed or unemployable but for the rest of us why does it seem like the country went on shut down on December 1st? Unless you work in retail, or restaurants etc.

My neighbour has decided to switch his mechanical santa on in the kitchen. I think it may be a clock cos every 15 minutes it flutes out an out of tune Christmas song.

What shall I do? Break in and smash it to smitereens or grin and bear it?

bad press ,well here are a couple of decent lads showing the other side of the coin don't you think?
A good deed cost two teenagers their lives, friends said last night.Shaun Barnes and Luther Storr, both 17, had been on a nightout when they saw a friend's sister being attacked by bullies. They stepped in to rescue 14-year-old Ruby Pateman and see her off safely on the last train from King's Lynn, Norfolk. But the delay meant the Good Samaritans missed a promised lift home and, with no more trains running, they faced a six-mile walk.
They chose the most direct route – along the railway line. But the friends never arrived in the Norfolk village of Watlington
The following morning, their bodies were spotted by a train driver about two miles short of their destination. They are believed to have been hit by a high-speed train which would have come on them from behind.
The tragedy has devastated friends and relatives.My thoughts are with their families who should be very proud of them

because the judge says the girl probably concented, my questions are these....
aside from the men being jailed for life at the very least, should the judge recieve a heavy sentence too?

and why does something like this only get a 3 minute slot near the end of the news hour (sky news) when some prick who pulled an insurance scam gets nearly a week of continual coverage?

This is appalling news. I have just had a little google for news on missing Madeleine and all I can find is "mayor blames parents" "negligent" "they are to blame" "they did wrong" "all posters of Madeleine removed" - This is the most disturbing.

WHY? Why are people prepared to just abandon the search for this little girl? HOW can people forget Madeleine and just shrug their shoulders and turn away?

Madeleine is MISSING and needs to be found. Not forgotten.
YES Her parents made a mistake to leave her, but does that justify everyone else, leaving her?

It's very very sad.
