Also impossible to find toys that are not 'made in China'. Which I found a problem when the grandsons were newborn with the scares about contaminated dye and paint. I was laughed at for only buying white soft toys.

Please do not post links to "pay" sites.......... this could be construed as promoting a commercial enterprise.

And yes I am sure you didn't intend to, thats why its advisable to test your links immediately after posting and if they fall into this category, remove them please.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Indianfriend nor Dread can remove their posts unless it is done immediately.
only Mitz or I can do it.
Indianfriend sites which are deemed to be advertising are not allowed.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Which is why I suggested

And in this situation, "immediately" is a reasonably generous period of time, innit?

Merah began his killing spree by shooting dead a paratrooper on March 11 after offering to buy his motorcycle. Four days later he shot three other paratroopers, two of whom died, as they waited at a cashpoint.

On Monday, he drove up to a Jewish school on his scooter and opened fire, killing a rabbi, his two young sons and the seven-year-old daughter of the head teacher.

Yes, according to all the papers he was one of those Islamic nutters. Heard on the radio because of the nutters Jewish schools in the UK have their own security paid for out of their own pockets.

Many people have absolutely no understanding of how dangerous and active Al Quaeda and these fundamentalist Jihad organisations are throughout this world. Many also have no idea of the vast numbers being put through the training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and also the grooming and 'mini training' going on much closer to home.
I hate to be pessimistic but I don't think the UK has seen the last major attack yet. All I can say is good on the Met Police Anti Terrorist Branch who have interrupted many groups who were in either late planning stages or about to commit further atrocities.
It is important to remember that those who affiliate to Al Quaeda and other fundamentalist Jihad groups are not real Muslims - they are nothing but sick and twisted power hungry Psychos who twist what is actually a basically paceful religion. As a consequence of their actions, the ordinary Muslim people are viewed with suspicion and tarred with the same brush.

Agree with you absolutely Dread.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

... so do I - but it is also important to remember that bombing their [ancestral] countries into the stone-age doesn't enamour us to them either.
