Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Db4,

I think GF, like myself, may have/or had to put up with "dyslexia.............ends

Thats true Fred, seemingly for people with diabetes type 1 like I have , your chances of having dyslexia are far greater than the norm in the population.

When taking exams at school and uni I had to put this down on the top of the paper, to let the examiners know.

Whats Db4???????????????

'Mr and Mrs MEP' colouring book becomes surprise hit of EU summit

David Cameron waved a copy of a European Union funded colouring book called "Mr & Mrs MEP" at a summit of Europe's leaders to ram home his demand for cuts to wasteful Brussels spending.

The glossy propaganda booklet, aimed at children under seven and revealed by the Telegraph on Wednesday, became the talking point of an EU summit last night after the Prime Minister brandished it at the dinner table.

"We have got to try and restore a connection with people's ordinary democratic consent. I have to say, people's ordinary democratic consent is frankly not helped by the great findings of Her Majesty's Telegraph this week, which is of course the colour in pattern book of Mr and Mrs MEP, which I shared with some of my other European leaders," he said.

"Actually they were as shocked. First of all they thought it was a hoax done by the Telegraph and I had to convince them that it was a genuine, scandalous waste of money and pretty sexist at that as well because Mrs MEP stops at six o clock to go shopping and Mr MEP goes on until 6:40."

Mr Cameron expressed his hope that Martin Schulz, the speaker of the European Parliament, would bear in mind the anger of EU leaders when the assembly holds a Strasbourg vote next week on reductions to EU spending over the seven years between 2014 and 2020, cuts that are opposed by many MEPs.

The landmark budget deal, hailed by the British leader as major victory at a summit in February, means that next year the EU is to cut its spending for the first time in its 56 year history.

DB4

I was referring in shorthand to Doodlebug 4. (with a smile) (Thinking of Skinny's DB6.)

But I can remember the sounds of them from the 40s.

----------------
I have type 2, but dyslexia is a strange problem and looking at kids growing up I think part of the problem is due to the type of exposure they have in the early years 0-10 when they are help to develop models for understanding and storing "knowledge".

I generally find "processes" easy to remember and "understand", but some data is a difficult recall. (Have to have it written down and often referred to.)

I know only two poems "off by heart" and would make mistakes even with them, but I can remember the "gist" of many others.

Kids development is fascinating.

Doodlebug Ohhhhh ok got him filtered. Should have known hed make a petty remark about spelling.

Was always same on sharecrazy, cocky type who never looked into things from the start and butted in half way through without the full information/story etc etc.

As for dyslexia I just some how have a mental blockage on words that look similar eg, their and there or of and off but loads more. (thats why I cant tell cynic to f--k offff)

Think I would have passed to go to grammar school if school or my parents picked up 0n that I had it.

Wasnt diagnosed until I was 15.

Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby, Oxford. The towns change, but the pattern is always the same. Gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani Muslim heritage, lure white girls as young as 10 with gifts and displays of affection. Next, the girl is raped as a way of “breaking her in”. Once the child’s spirit is subdued, and her mind fogged with drugs, she is sold for sex to multiple men at £200 a time. If the girl tries to break away, a gang member might threaten to behead her or firebomb her home. Mohammed Karrar, who was found guilty in the Oxford sex-grooming case this week, took a scalding hairpin and branded one girl so she would know she was his property. Later, the gang gave the same girl a DIY abortion. She was 12 years old. And this, all this, is happening in Britain now.

In a particularly warped twist, the pimp will teach his victim that her parents are racist towards Asians, which is why they disapprove of their relationship – absolutely nothing, of course, to do with him being a violent,

we let these children down because of racism claims we should of done our jobs

Protecting NHS, schools and pensioner benefits not 'sustainable', experts say
Protecting the NHS, foreign aid, schools and pensioner benefits from cuts will not be "sustainable" after the next election, experts said today.

I was either craftier, or stupider, I didn't realise until I was in my twenties, having failed and repeated one examination one after another.

Found a solution and by going over to brief point form answers to written questions, even though essay type responses were expected.

Also, the “viva” became more important and suddenly realised I wasn't as stupid as some had thought.


(But my wife still sorts out some of my letters, after I have put the ideas on paper.)

"Was always same on sharecrazy, cocky type who never looked into things from the start and butted in half way through without the full information/story etc etc. "

Actually I never posted, even once, on sharecrazy. I can sympathise with you having dyslexia gf, but I object to the petty, rude remarks you make about various posters who disagree with your views. Sadly it's been your trademark over the years and it's a shame really, because you are quite a good investor/trader. If you didn't have a huge chip on your shoulder you could have contributed so much more to various bulletin boards.

There are quite a few other cases of grooming in the pipeline. I heard today that there is at least 54 other men heading for trial over the next few months.

Is the Cameroon grooming Gove to take over?

Strange goings on at No 10!

West Yorkshire is very bad. Saville Town is terrible.

They set off an airbomb firework(to alert all their mates and customers) when either

A. they have need for clients for girls

B. a new drug shipment has come in.

The police just ignore it, but they know whats going off and so do the local authority but darent do anything for fear of being branded racists. It really is out of control and we are just getting to the tip of the iceberg with recent arrests.

UMHHHHHHHHHHl

Loyalties.

Is Cameron going to personally vouch for Andy and Rebecca who are both well known to him, as being of “good characters”, when they get into court?

Should be interesting.

Is it a case of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds?

-------------------------

What has happened to the Leveson inquiry's conclusions?

Press seem to be keeping a low profile on this.

You can blame new Labour for that . if you want the police to arrive fast to a scene of a crime , just say its homophobic or raceist .

Crash worse than thought after 'hideous' figures reveal the true economic depths that the UK plumbed

PUBLISHED: 21:57, 27 June 2013

The pound slammed into reverse yesterday as ‘hideous’ figures showing the Great Recession was far worse than feared, overshadowed news that there was no double dip.

The Office for National Statistics said there was no second recession in late 2011 and early 2012 under the Coalition in a welcome boost for George Osborne.

But the revised figures showed the crash under Labour during 2008 and 2009 was even worse than previously reported – with gross domestic product dropping an extraordinary 7.2 per cent.

Two sides of the story: Cancelled double dip is good news for Osborne, but no such luck for Ed Balls

This is from The Independent today

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/lord-leveson-hits-out-in-row-over-suppressed-hacking-dossier-8677597.html?origin=internalSearch

Lord Justice Leveson is at the centre of an extraordinary row with one of Britain’s leading law firms after claiming he was asked not to circulate a suppressed report detailing widespread illegal practices.

The secret document, written by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) – and revealed by The Independent last weekend – suggested that law firms, insurance companies and telecoms giants were routinely commissioning private investigators to obtain sensitive information by hacking, blagging and corrupting police officers.

After days of questions over why the judge refused to admit the file to his landmark inquiry, Lord Justice Leveson wrote to MPs to say he believed the Soca report fell outside his terms of reference for the hearings, which were to “inquire into the culture, practices and ethics of the press”. However, he also mysteriously claimed his inquiry was “specifically asked not to circulate it without further discussion”.

Yes, After 3years the economy is flatlining and the patient is dead.
