Just happened upon the last one and liked it, so ...

I don't think The King's Speech is that great a film; I think the directing was often unimaginative, cliched and banal and the script obvious. And Helena Bonham Carter wasn't that good.

So much bitching on this thread. I have a child made of pastry. At first he was just dough. I made him with special kneads.

there is actually such a thing as Oppositional Defiance Disorder! Shock

What the fuck do you know about it Shirley? Come on let's hear about your oceans of experience with misdiagnosed SN kids, solve all our problems, help us sort our naughty kids out, really, let's hear it, I'm all ears............

You started it with your fantasy......

Actually I really fancied someone called James Taylor when I was about 14. He was gorgeous. Now that we're 40 he is not.

shimmerysilverglitter I think we've all agreed to leave it now?! Please and thank you. Or I'll have to be off too.

Don't know who James Taylor is either

Katie Price is an intelligent feminist icon

I think Knighthoods, MBEs OBEs are handed out to any Tom, Dick or Harry these days. My old headmaster got one for services to education - eh no you were doing your job.

Threesome with Russell and Tim - mmmm interesting!

YouTry · 20/03/2011 21:43

Tim wouldn't be up for it, I don't think...

Runningjustasfastasican · 20/03/2011 21:44

It's the quiet, posh ones you have to watch...

I thought you must be one of those feminists with a sense of humour Grin

Righto - SN is quite rightly a sensitive issue, but as with all such things it shouldn't mean we can't discuss it like adults without resorting to flouncing or insults. To a parent with a SN child any mention of parents who abuse the system must be galling but to pretend there are those who don't because it feels like a personal insult is to ignore the obvious.

VajazzHands · 20/03/2011 21:52

oh thank fuck hobnobs because I didn't!

Back to Thom Yorke now and let's debate whether hobnobs has double bluffed us with her Katie Price beliefs Grin

Too tired and too fuzzy with wine to cope with real arguments. I'm off to bed.

SueWhite · 20/03/2011 21:56

I wouldn't mind going to bed with Gordon Brown. Not sure why.

boosmummie · 20/03/2011 21:57

That is just wrong.

starcuntmole · 20/03/2011 21:57

Even though I've since studied it in Uni as a Very Bad Anti Feminist film, I still loved Pretty Woman.

The auditions are NOT the best bit of X Factor

Charlie Sheen needs to be led off to a quiet room somewhere, and not left to carry on.

People who start threads with, 'oooh my child is /I am * would you look at the picture on my profile just to check...' are just fishing for compliments.

mrshess · 20/03/2011 21:58

i honestly dont know how anyone can abuse the system with regards to special needs, do you know how long children are assessed and monitored by a number of people before any diagnosis is given?
I will tell you it takes months even years for some people so how people can make this up i dont know. Why do people on here think they are an expert on special needs?

Goblinchild · 20/03/2011 21:58

Women who are housewives to husbands with a massive salary and do nothing of interest themselves should not be surprised when they are replacesd by a younger or more attractive model.

Avantia · 20/03/2011 21:58

Feminist threads are good for a laugh and easy to wind up.

Kids who are afraid of dogs usually are because of their parents make them.

Think Sex in the City is over rated.
