No. By soon, does that mean they are about to lose again?

Or an alternate outlook would be to make sure there is no meaning full competition.

The pain you feel now will help you to understand why all the English are so miserable come July when England get knocked out of the world cup in the quaterfinals again

The English are always miserable, the world cup will be just another reason to justify it. Of course, everybody will know exactly why England fail and it would be different if they were in charge rather than the experts

Well another no nuffink.

You have to walk as the school buses are cancelled.

It's called clothing and you wrap it in layers and cover yourself up nice a snug and away you go.

Believe it or not it wouldn't have been the first time people walked in the cold tempatures.

Just curious if the catholic board there made the girls wear the same ridiculous uniform they do here, with the girls not allowed to protect anything below their knees (or the way some wear it, their butt) from the elements in the uniform short skirt?

Seems absurdly sexist to me, and surely designed by some pervert in a skirt for his own benefit. DOnt really want my girls to have to wear it, but what can you do eh?

My brother, sister and I all had to wear uniforms, but I definitely remember remember a snowsuit over my uniform. In Ontario however we weren't allowed to wear anything below to protect our legs......

Now dont you have something better to do...like attend to a crying baby or an overactive 3 year old?
