Education Secretary Calls For Longer School Hours And Shorter Holidays..
Born Hunter replied to Malt's topic in General Talk
What are kids doing between the ages of 18-21? Drinking, f***ing and partying away every last penny they have.......... Not a great age to be finishing their state education imo. Higher and further education is different, they chose to be there and as such it is 100% their responsibility to make the most of it. -

Dunno if I've missunderstood but would this help parents with childcare costs etc? More time in school = less time in childcare? -
Education Secretary Calls For Longer School Hours And Shorter Holidays..
Born Hunter replied to Malt's topic in General Talk
I agree that education should be improved but would also think school time should be in creased to 8 - 9 hours a day say 9 till 5 or there abouts to keep in with other work hours. And instead of normal school subjects the extra hours should be used to teach them the likes of money management / trades or something else more constructive I'd add to that increasing time spent in shorts and trainers. at least an hour every single day at school should be spent actively doing something physical............. Give them the choice of activities as well so they enjoy that hour. -
Quite frankly, it's got f**k all to do with us. If another nation started petitioning against British culture I would be fecking disgusted with their utter arrogance!.................. I'd be wanting war ships dispatched at once! On a more positive note, Chinese culture will gradually change......... There trade is hugely dependant on Europe and North America, their children are sent en mass to British and US universities and the US film industry is growing in China (which is bending for the other is debateable though). This is having the effect of bringing 'home' western ideas and values

That's fine, but what has her grandkids done to deserve such disrespect?
-
Thats as may be.................but its not natural and i still think the c**t deserves his head stamping on ! Okay mate, fair enough, I'm inclined to agree with you. But I have no idea what's natural behaviour in that situation.
-
Cant agree with that mate............the falling man picture is a poor comparison in my opinion......there was nothing the person taking the picture could do for that man.............the pictures we are talking about here were taken a few feet away......i dont know about you but i know i couldnt look down at a man screaming in agony and take his picture .....Professional or not ......Thats not professionalism thats just a cold heart in my book. It wasn't a comparison Gnash, just an example of how these type of images are the most emotive and the ones remembered with such events. I was jus

There's some physcology behind that Malt. Something to do with individuals in large groups naturally being less reactive to extreme events than if on there own or in smaller groups. As a rule humans tend to do nothing and wander around like clueless sheep looking at each other in traumatic situations............... I imagine that's taken a step further when seeing people that are clear and decisive in their actions doing something, a kinda 'I don't want to get in the way of these people that are in control and seem to know what they are doing' defaulting attitude.
-
Personally Lab I don't see a difference, amateur or professional.............. you are still faced with the moral dilema between helping if you can, saving your own bollocks or using your camera to record what is a extremely tragic yet historic incident. I mean, something like that could be a key point in human history............... a terror attack that led to a landmark change in law or the invasion of a foreign state. Pictures of the event tell you more than any post traumatic eye witness reports could and in years to come will be studied by historians to evaluate world events. My only

Pictures of the scene i can half understand.................but a picture taken specifically of 1 person lying with limbs hanging off.............i cant understand that. I don't get that either. I saw the pictures too, some were horrible. Why take a picture of a guy with both legs blown off?? That's crossing the line (no pun intended). And then selling those images on to the press etc?? c**ts trick. Imagine them being asked by their grand children in years to come "were you in the Boston bombings?" "Yes i was, but all i did was stand around taking photographs while people laid all

The financial worth of the shooting industry will save the sport of shooting. I firmly believe that anyone should be legally allowed to go out and kill wild beasts, birds and critters for the pot and the pleasure of doing so........... without doubt that would be banned if it was not for the commercial side of the shooting industry. We can't even go out and shoot a pigeon purely for the pot without there being deffinate crop damage and other means of protection exhausted.............
-
It's a curious moral dilemma........... one that has resulted in at least one person taking their life over. Should events like this not be captured in picture it makes finding the truth that bit harder. Some might call it the greater good........ Of course everyone is wired differently and despite what I have just said I don't think I could stand taking snaps if I knew my actions were needed to save lives!
-
yes definatley, but you would think the government would fork out the money to set things up, but the other lads are doing it themselves. After all, we can find £20 billion for a pi55- useless missile system...... Piss useless...............? I know this might sound naive, but are these lads not sorted on the NHS? I mean what do people expect the military to do exactly? A Government funded specialist rehabilitation center might be a start I suppose.........
-
Personally I believe the harder a dogs life is the hardier the dogs mentality will be................... I don't believe it will make them try any harder or work any better but I do believe in general it makes for a hardier dog. Just a general observation, quite possibly bollocks.

Baw, I think it's fair to say the 'west' and the arab world have had their grievances dating back to before the crusades. The state of Israel didn't go down too well in more recent history either....... LOL

Corn/feed Bin
Born Hunter replied to CorkyJohn's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
In the lockup we use 200lt plastic drums with sealable lids. Also have a large ton bag sized metal container for mixing hand feed mixes up. Never had trouble with rats chewing feed drums in the lockup, possibly because they are sealed well? Wheely bins sound a bloody good idea! -
Finding my kennels empty and not having a clue who was responsible....................... Generally being helpless.
-
That's it, role out all manner of conspiracy theories.................... maybe a N.Korean terror cell will be found the culprits and it'll give the US reason to invade....... LOL. I've heard something about bins exploding on the news. Possibly planted bombs as opposed to a smelly suicide bomber.............

No just let it be paid for privately....................................... Oh wait....................

I don't really blame him for the claim of £24 for his train ticket to his party conference. That could well be considered a legit claim, it's work related afterall. However the appeals should never have been allowed to go on as long as they did to rack up £27k! That in my mind is a problem with the system not with the individual in question.

a normal funeral would have avoided all that and cost a fraction of what this one is costing That doesn't matter though does it. It's their right. it is, but there not footing all the bill, even football clubs pay for policing at matches FYI http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7553875.stm Clubs currently have to pay back only the costs incurred inside their ground or on their property, with the rest coming from police budgets.

It's their right. it is, but there not footing all the bill, even football clubs pay for policing at matches Not the full costs they don't! But then a Saturday footy match is hardly the target or terrorism is it................... It wouldn't matter a shite who was paying for it, you lot would still be fecking moaning. What happened to your jolly moods and the party atmosphere? If a normal everyday bloke was having a funeral and there was trouble
