    Classroom revolution: A-level students could sit exams earlier

    That doesn't really make sense to me. Even if UCAS want to overhaul their system, surely to change their term dates would mean changing term dates for primary and secondary schools too, as well as colleges and universities. Also, there is a horrendous amount of paperwork involved which needs...

    I'd rather starve.

    SUICIDE ATTEMPT

    A 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband, decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out his old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the...

    HOW THE CONTINENTS WERE FORMED

    Of course, it was all Scrat's fault! This is a teaser trailer for Ice Age 4.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf74Sp0Xe6Q&feature=player_embedded

    Woman recreates 'Last Supper' with laundry lint

    That's really clever! I have blue towels which always leave tons of blue fluff in the drier. I have never seen lint pictures before and would never have thought to buy different coloured towels to produce different coloured lint. It really is very clever!

    When the microphone goes out…

    I think it's lovely. It shows the deep, warm-heartedness of Americans at their best. The poor little mite is nervous and shaky and rather than let her struggle on unaware and open to ridicule, the warm-hearted crowd support her in song and cheer her efforts at the end. I think it's...

    I think it was just tongue-in-cheek humour.

    Law & Order: UK

    The first one is kind of a joke. It's from 'Life on Mars' where a modern day copper goes back to the seventies. The second clip is from The Sweeney, a highly regarded cop series, again from the seventies. Cop shows were just so different then to now. Next Beowulf will be showing you clips...

    Bill Gates picks his own punishment

    Well the Holy Trinity is composed of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, a trinity of three in one. Maybe there is also an Unholy Trinity too, for there is always the dualism of opposites, good versus evil, etc, so that everything is in balance. An Unholy Trinity could be...

    Harry Potter: The Deathly Hollows Pt. 1

    No, I think Naviero X is right. To make the whole book into a 2.5 hour film would make the film too short and would have missed huge parts out. In two parts it becomes a 5 hour film which it really needs to be. The only problem was that they ended part I on a cliffhanger! Nooooooooooo...

    Harry Potter: The Deathly Hollows Pt. 1

    Didn't get to see it before. Can't remember why. Taking my daughter and her friend to see it today for my daughter's birthday.

    When the microphone goes out…

    Sweeeeeeeeeet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU8zyB3W0pU&feature=player_embedded At a Norfolk Admirals hockey game, 8-year-old Elizabeth Hughes was doing a bang-up job on The Star-Spangled Banner when her microphone quit.

    What Are You Currently Reading?

    A book on the Blitz, entitled . . . Blitz! I've already learnt things about the Blitz that I didn't know, for instance Blitzkrieg means 'Lightning war'. The Germans used Blitzkrieg to take over both Poland and France inside 48 hours each. It describes the all-mechanised force concentration...

    Randomly Monitoring Families

    Social Services have way more cases on their books than they can deal with adequately now, without going and looking randomly for more cases. Random investigations would also cost a huge amount of money and Social Services are renowned for being strapped for cash. Schools are hyper...

    Crash!

    I was going to give exactly the same answer! OMG I remember that. Someone gave the link to the local newspaper report at the time. That was such a horrendous time for you. Everyone @ FG was SO worried for you. I remember Pinky flying out to see you. Do you still keep in contact with her? I...

    Arguments

    I didn't know you didn't like Koan-the-witch-a-two-faced-bitch. To Cinnamon - you better believe they can rip anyone to shreds!! To Jazzy - you're right. A sad end to a once beautiful garden. To Nebulous - it surely is a failure now.
