how come they can neither spell accurately nor use the rules of English Grammar?

ShrekHorror, click on the In the News link at the top and the cake thread is the thread directly below this one.

by the way jofe- its on Sky now.

Why the hell am I over someone who doesn't even know me, or seen any of my other posts

Thanks TM,

Really hope she is safe.

Ah you're great haychee, well done with the staying power, pat on back, stick around blah blah....Bollox, you're a complete bastardization of the concept of mothers and intelligent women in general.

I'll get banned for that and I don't give a continental shite.

good luck

Here's a snippet about Margaret Hill

"Gunmen smashed in the windows of a car carrying a British girl to school Thursday and kidnapped the three-year-old "

You all seriously think another child broke the news as gently as we would?
Again, i repeat to reinforce my opinion is, i do not agree with the wording used in the ad.

I personally thin we should be telling our kids about the cake story, at least that won't give them nightmares.....or would it?

My dd was upset re. Madeleine when she was told about it (at school I think).. and kept asking and asking if she was dead/scared etc so I told her that Madeleine had just wandered off and was back home with her parents all safe and sound now. She's not fretted about it since. It's not my 5YO's place to worry about such things IMVHO.

I think the headmistress should announce it in assembly because after all, why not. Beats having to think of something relevant with a moral lesson to discuss.

wow abroller i'm keeping that quote for future use and may just edit to fit into any situation

Again, i repeat to reinforce

Oh, I see. That explains everything

thank you CT, I quite like it

LL you are right - thats a fab story. am taking myself off to funnier climbs - finished the popcorn and even the scab-picking draw of this thread has worn off.

what's the cake story?

"Only entrant in cake competition comes second" It will make you laugh!

cake thread

Go to In the News it's about the 4th thread down

I am off too - there is no point trying to talk to someone who ignores posts and questions that do not agree with her own point of view, yet takes one post that she thinks agrees with it and decides "that is the fuel i needed to restart my fire"

Actually, I popped in earlier and saw that everyone was upset, but never got a chance to work out what was going on.

This argument in 20 words - anyone?

Marvellous. Just great.

All children have great sensitivity dont they? Thats why they tell younger kids scary stories in the playground.
And, MASCAROHARA has yet another terrified child who had the news broken at school.!
Suprise suprise, the unexpected hits you between the eyes

I love the fact that she once won third prize and was the only entrant.
