yeah looks like a juniper, you'll have it up quicksmart. just don't leave any bits of root in the earth.

You've hit the nail on the head, some folk on here are clearly getting confused: It's the kids that are there from 9am to 3pm, NOT the teachers. Most teachers are there from 7.30 to 5.30, with no lunch hour. I know because i was a teacher for nearly 5y in both secondary and primary schools (and thankfully packed it in nearly 5y ago). 5 years of behaviour that'd make 99.9% of men and women lose their heads and throttle someone or have a heart attack, 5y of having to deal with ignorant parents with a chip on their shoulder because Mr So-and-so didn't understand them when they were a kid. No

too right . too many folk seem to forget all that when it suits them

get a grip. if you dont know what you're signing up for dont sign up then whinge about it ! This argument is about the private sector whose T&Cs were depleted YEARS ago (remember Maxwell plundering the mirror pension)having to pay for the public sector. Have MANY teachers ever had a job in between education and becoming a teacher, nice little closed loop paid for by the tax payer. That is exactly the problem - what they signed up for (in a contract between them and the Local Education Authority) is now being rewritten without their consent! Everyone knows a contract is only le

I think some comments here show a lack of understanding of how the economy functions. I'm not a public sector worker anymore but i can understand the anger of those who are: The reality is that They've been told that they'll have to pay double for something that's now worth half. DESPITE having agreed the pension contributions (and annual rates of increase) in a LEGALLY binding contract at the outset. Seriously, wouldn't you be pissed off if you found out you'd have to pay more for something that was worth less, after having agreed a price?

yeah i'm sure they should be fine. crack on and get back to us in 3m when its ready!

no i like it too

Has your Wife got the recipe for the herbal tea? We made some last year. We just dried out the leaves first, then you can store them when they're bone dry and crumbly. In a cup: 1 tbsp dried leaves; 1 tsp honey; dash of lemon juice (or a slice of lemon); 1 tsp sugar (optional); boiling water.

1. Matthew Macklin losing to Felix Sturm last night. 2. Lucas Matthysse losing to Devon Alexander last night. Boxing fans'll know what i'm on about. Two examples of a mugging.

cheers for all the advice chaps and chappesses. I tried the baking powder/bicarb and water suggestion and the lip swelling went almost straightwaway. He wouldn't stay near the ice pack though! His throat/chin was still swollen a little so planned to go and get some piriton/antiH from the vets the next day (as was the evening by the time i read the posts) but the next day the swelling was all gone. Only prob now is he fell down a 20 foot mini cliff into a streambed chasing a cat in the woods. Now he is limping intermittently, so looks like a trip to the vet is needed anyway! Don't y

You should see a doctor mate. Anything more than twice a day is not a good sign............

Hello all, I didn't see it happen but suspect the dog was stung by a bee. He was hanging around the flowers in the garden all morning where the bees congregate; I assume that that is what happened. He doesn't seem in pain, though his chin and lip are swollen and he seems to be licking at it. Any ideas?

:blink: Good info Tomm ,but a trifle fattening ,judging by your avatar. No that's not me! Just my ideal woman....................
