oh the wife already told you that. sorry for repeating.

my kids support leeds. i would kick the runts out if they dared to support someone else. blood aint thicker than your teams colours.

easier to tell you i only like leeds, leeds ladies, leeds academy, leeds juniors, leeds blind team, leeds disabled. hate the rest.

Amy was with the Red Cross but now she is attached to a different organisation. It's pretty harrowing but very rewarding.

Which is pretty effective! Nothing worse than finding a half dead fox with a pellet in it's neck or half its body mangled in a trap and having to... well, it's tea time I don't want to put anyone off their sausage and mash!

Not suggesting, it's what happens. Feel free to visit at the weekend and my husband will show you :)

Wrong. Two hounds to flush out, accidental scent, birds of prey etc.

Leeds. The oldest two have their own season tickets and go to almost all home games. And a lot of the away games. My son is pretty passionate about it, my daughter goes I think because she doesn't want to miss out on doing something. She's not too fussed. My son once flirted with being an...

Yep, we were lucky to find a school that combined it all into one!

He would attend the local school. Faith was not the be all and end all of our school selection, it is certainly a factor but the academic/social/emotional things were as well. We can keep faith at home if need be. We found a good school that combined both and went for that.

No, no developmental difficulties. As for the faith thing, I've seen the way threads have gone on here in the past and am ducking out on that now! But we sent our children to the school we did because it best met their needs both academically and spiritually.

The standard of education at our local school is pretty high and I think the sense of community surrounding it is pretty strong, people come from outside this area to attend it. They always seem to do very well with fund-raising and events are always keenly supported, by us as well. Even though...

I know. And therein lies one of the biggest problems with education in this country.

Absolutely. And everyone should have that choice.

Why should you though? Just because you happened to live near school A but school B the other side of town, is better suited to your child's needs? I'd hate it if my children were forced to attend our nearest school or had their education sorted by a silly lottery system. We have a village...

My mother has written a stern letter to Sir George Young telling him that just because at the time he knew nothing of your situation it is no excuse for him to not to investigate and educate himself over it. And also, that his NIMBY/doesn't affect my constituency stance over this EDM did not...

Thanks. I think we are better off sticking with Virgin then. It works fine and I have no complaints. Paddy will just have to suck up and apologise to them in the morning.
