I thought the first series was good, the second OK and the rest samey rubbish. Sons of Anarchy was boring Everyone raved about Breaking bad but I couldn't get past the 1st season. I think Game of thrones was brilliant and if you haven't seen it I recommend The Wire which is one of the best TV series I've ever seen Breaking Bad was the first one i watched i thought it was good i cant be doing with sci - fi shit if it couldnt possibly happen in real life i lose interest hence why i couldnt get on with Walking Dead its a toss up between Dexter and Sopranos for my next one.The Wire

try and watch a movie called spotlight which came out last year,true story about a team of boston reporters who investigate a priest who molested/raped over kids,it was hushed up by the church,but they uncovered a lot more than that one priest,it was endemic in the church,the movie is an eye opener.

they deserve the cash i think,the degree is a massive workload,one of my kids was doing it then dropped out and took a far easier course as he was waking at 2am to study,it burnt him out,i checked out the course before he started,just over 1/3'of those who start the course pass.

Out of likes mate but that's it in a nutshell,different times.

As a kid you tend to believe what adults tell you. And if one tells you "if you say anything I will kill your family, because I know where you live" what are you going to do? The ones that did report it, as in all the abuse case from that era were classed as trouble makers and not believed or ignored. So they were dammed if they did and dammed if they did not. TC Yup,a lot more transparency nowadays,20-30+ years ago it was hushed up or brushed under the carpet in a lot of instances,watch the movie Spotlight,nowadays things are easier to talk about thanks to social media etc.

Ottawa at the moment Quest,far quieter than Toronto.You thinking of pastures new Mr Colombo? Getting a bit bored here, would have to be an english speaking country though or possibly french, I still need to work but too old to learn a new language. Im working for a multi national company (un)fortunately as well as being self employed, maybe my day job could come in handy! We are like wind blown autumnal leaves mate,never quite able to settle,fire in our boots as my grand dad used to say,be lucky.

a fecking treat,would hate to see what you got when you played up.Food was a treat back then mate,bland diet,my mam wasn't the best of cooks,anything that broke the monotony of beans and chips or egg and chips was a'la'carte.

My kids are a bit older now,I would rather buy them "experiences",I pay for them to do diving courses,ones parachuted,both have been paramotoring,both have been abroad fishing or whatever,material possessions lose their shine,memories never do,happy Christmas.

Tripe in vinegar is ok,it used to be a treat for us when we were kids.

I would say it's the stigma, unless you have been through it we will never realise the hold these people have over a victim. TC My sisters boyfriends son was abused from the age of 14,a very respectable guy from weybridge masquerading as a part time football coach,great job,good family,no one ever suspected him of molesting boys,I couldn't figure out why he got away with it for so long,my sis spoke to the kid,he said he felt ashamed confused and thought no one would believe him,the perpetrator was sentenced to 14 years with the recommendation he serves at least 9,pity he didn't get a rope,h

Sacrilege,balut is great,the green slime in with the crunchy bones of the duck embryo are really savoury,try it sometime,mind you one of my mates once vomited like a dog after taking a little bite.

I saw some of those dog proofs in a store in Quebec yesterday wolf dog,I had a good look at one and my first thought was they would be suitable for monkeys,I used to be driven to distraction by them,wish I had some dogproof's back then.

I will eat anything,absolutely anything.........Except,anything pig related,won't touch bacon,sausage etc,there's something not quite right about pigs.

I would have loved more than 2 kids,just to watch their characters form,sadly my purse strings didn't stretch further or I would have had another. We have a gap of 14 years between ours for the same reason!! I was dumb,one year gap between mine.

Been in some really nice houses on your side of the pond the last few weeks,REALLY nice,and a quarter of the price of mine UK side,ridiculous really,quality of life compared to struggle for existence,you work hard all your life to live in a decent box in south-east England,by the time you finish paying for it you downsize to a much smaller pine one.

I just saw the report on the news over his school newspaper interview,he said the media portray Muslims in a bad light,bit ironic.

Crowds of Cubans in miami's little Havana greeted the news of his death with jubilation and cheers.

Watching it on the news at the moment,the attacker was shot dead. A Somali-born Ohio State student crashed his vehicle into pedestrians on the Columbus campus Monday, then slashed students with a butcher knife before being fatally shot by a university police officer, authorities said. Eleven people were rushed to hospitals and one was in critical condition, according to university Police Chief Craig Stone. The incident is being investigated by the FBI, although no confirmed information has surfaced yet as to whether the attack was terror-related. The drama began shortly before 10 a
