Other - Society & Culture - 16 September 2007

My friend thinks she is a social worker. Sometimes a senior one and sometimes a mere trainee. She also thinks that she is well off and acts as if she always has a smell under her nose.
She also seems to have multiple personalities which is worrying.
I keep telling her that shes divorced,50, overweight and working on a checkout at Tesco but she won't have it.

I think it is, but what do you think? (I will be putting this question to a vote instead of choosing the answer myself.)

I heard this claimed in a chatroom, the person even claimed all people of Russian ancestry have Mongolian ancestry. The guy was rather bigotted, so I take his claim with a grain of salt (I already have with his absolutist assertion of all Russians being part Mongolian). Frankly, I doubt it, especially in the further western to south western regions of Russia where some of my ancestors were likely from, since they could have been Polish instead.

I am aware of the Mongol conquest.

Why world peace is horrible:
world peace would be no violence no crulty to anyone or anything.

Police would be bored and out of a job noo people in prisins.
Bush would destroy the us in a different way.
There would be no guns no hunters no meat or knives.
You couldn't have alot of vegetables becuase animals are important and need to live off them.
Alians would take over the world with a plastic spork.
no fun
all conversations would have to be submitted in 2 weeks in advance.
no religion becuase it can offend someone.

so tell me why do you want world peace?

ROBELINE, La. - This village's only convenience store decided to do something nice for its police officers: give them a free fountain drink or coffee at closing time. But somewhere along the way, investigators say, it got out of control. Now, all three of the village's officers are accused of stealing snacks.

"Over a period of time, it evolved into regular drinks and more," Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's investigator Travis Trammell said. "There's no telling how it got to this point, but the store started experiencing losses and they watch their videotapes and see all of this going on."

Surveillance tapes showed each officer going into the Shop-A-Lott at Lott Oil around closing time and filling plastic bags with dozens of bottled soft drinks, Trammell said. The officers also are reportedly seen eating an assortment of other snacks without paying.

Police Chief Gordon O'Con confirmed that the officers remain on active duty, but said he was advised not to commment about their arrests. There was no answer at the police department Friday when The Associated Press made repeated calls seeking comment from the officers.

Im 17 and my parents have gone away for 2 weeks so I had a party last night which fell subject to uninvited guests. There were fights, doors got kicked in, things were stolen, windows smashed and the house is a mess. me and my friends had to stand and fight to stop more chavs from getting into the house and upstairs. I took alot of damage, but at least i protected most of the things i owned. there were some really low people there......one of my friends was punched in the face several times and she is a girl.....somebody attacked me with a knife and they had no regard for my house at all. Im stronger than all of them but there were so many......about 25 of us to 40 of them. We all fought so we saved alot which means most of the damage is reversable.....we cleared alot of it up now and bought new doors and now i know where i went wrong and im never putting the house in that sort of danger again. somebody let it get around.............has anybody else ever suffered from this?

I'll ask this to the Asian girls amongst us, what are your views on arranged marriages??....are you willing to settle down with someone thats been chosen by your elders??...I know alot of background digging goes on in finding a suitable partner lol (i'm of an ' Asian ' background myself)

Also, I know this is just a cultural thing too done in that part of the world, but still today more and more people decide to choose their own life partners. just wanted some views and opinions on this topic.

If your're a Non-Asian, would be interested in your comments too.

thanx xx

There's a street in Hull called The Land of Green Ginger. Is that the strangest street-name in Britain, or does anyone know a better candidate for the title?

I work in an environment where everyone mocks each other and I have just started this week so people are still getting to know me. Twice I had two different boys jokingly say "hurry up" to me when they are waiting for me to get up from my desk to do something and it's not thast I am slow or they are in some mad rush it's just part of the office culture but I need a good response other than "what's the rush" or a smile which is what I have done so far. Any tips are more than welcome.
