If you are excluded from school, you are enticed back with incentives like scuba diving lessons and other attractive and exciting things. Yet kids who work hard and behave get nothing. The same with help and assistance, if you are an ex-offender, drug addict or other anti-social person, you can get assistance and financial support to get qualifiactions or start a business, but someone who has 'conformed' to social standards gets nothing and has to struggle on their own. where is the incentive to be an honest, hard working model of society? It seems to me that in this country you get on in life if you don't behave and conform to social norms? You may be forgiven for thinking that I have had this happen to me, but I haven't. I have however, worked in the arenas of economic development and urban regeneration.

Or will they drink anything, well as long as it's got the alcohol in it?

Having been a student, I have too many stories to tell! Luckily I've never had violent or frightening neighbours but I've lived with some weirdos in my time! Have you had a neighbour from hell? What happened?

Hi..I'm an 18 year-old girl and currently studying in college.It's killing me rite now to keep this feeling inside so i'm gonna confess it here..I was raised single-handedly my my mom for da past 3 years..I guess that made me more exposed to a woman's life and their way of thinking..I had a couple of failed relationship with men,however i have nothing against them..Early this year,I met this girl at work while waiting for my exam results..After I stoppd working I realised how much I missed her and I truly cared about her more than anyone else.She's just an average 21 year-old but to me she's beautiful inside-out..I tried stopping myself from loving her but coz I act like a fool whenever I miss her,even in front of her..I also had a rough time focusing on my studies as my mind is constantly thinking of her..Every second,every day..Please,I know this is wrong, I'd never expected anything like this to happen to me..Is there a way to make this forbidden love stop??

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.

I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home.

At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.

I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.

I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15

At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.

After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.

I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for a 45 minute vigorous swim.

At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.

By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky, I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30 I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.

I seldom watch TV.

On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss mainly politics.

Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor - over a drink and come back home in time to go to sleep.

I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.

I do not like travelling.

I have a beautiful garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.

I enjoy good health.

Now, what would you call this sort of lifestyle, boring or interesting?
