Did you spell dyslexia wrong on purpose? If so, whoosh to me!

Why is dyslexia so hard to spell?

Why is there only one monopolies commission?

What were Barn Owls called before barns?

My mate's really turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miserable. Now he's miserable and depressed.

She is also an expert in her field and received an MBE for services to educating children. And she isn't some mindless nobody mouthing off on an Internet forum. Your point is? The BBC shouldn't hire black women, presumably.

So...hang on, you're thinking it was a job given to her through some sort of equal opportunities policy, just so she would tick the boxes whereas, in actuality, it's entirely possible that those same equality rules ensured that the best person for the job (which it's quite easy to argue that she is) didn't get overlooked in the first place...

I like this.

Can you explain the point of this post? Or maybe ask for the thread to be deleted if you are now regretting posting it.

 

[Titanic]

11 posts on a thread about a woman and nobody has either asked or voiced an opinion of whether they 'would' or not.

I first heard of her on the radio talking about how the Clangers made her want to be a space scientist. I thought she sounded brilliant. Had I known she was black and dyslexic I would have switched off and listened to something nice and white instead.

 

[Blackadder]

Strange thread. I haven't watched Sky at night for ages, so I was interested to find out who the new presenter was.

So I opened a thread titled New presenter of "The Sky at Night"


She is not actually mentioned until Titanic's post (No 6!)
