I don't have enough money to indulge in an expensive hobby like breeding.

Thinking and saying are two different things, I have two girls so I find it hard to see the funny side of these things.

Oh, there is plenty of return on my investment...there's more to life than money.

This week #1 wants to be a vet. Lets see what next week has in store

I don't take offence easily, but suggesting someones child could become a lawyer is rather beyond the pale

Even dentistry is more socially accepted

I'm very sorry. I think I overstepped the line on that one. I hope you'll accept my sincerest apologies.

No one deserves to be abused abducted and imprisoned no matter how they look, especially not a child.

Bazzz you infuriate me sometimes

I don't know how stirred you want, I heard extensive coverage on the BBC, noted that many of the children were missing from Bradford and wondered if they'd really be any worse off in Pakistan.

Re: Girl found alive

When I were a lass, I grew up about five miles away from Bratfod. Have to say that the highlight of my teenage years was walking to the bus station in Bradford from the Ice Rink and seeing the corpse of a guy who had been knifed a few minutes before.

Bradford was always seen as the poor relation to Leeds. But having said that, just because you live there, doesn't necesarily mean your quality of life will be that bad...

Unless you were a student in Leeds, in which case Bradford was a top spot for a beer and curry night....

Or if you were a student in Bradford and could therefore gloat that you were paying less than half the rent that your Leeds mates were paying for their digs - thereby able to afford more of said curries and beer

I would never have left my children alone in a hotel room without proper care to have my dinner in a restaurant in the first place. Children are precious.

That was v odd too - but then they will have to live with what they did for the rest of their lives.

Shannon has been placed on an emergency child protection order so there wont be a reunion any time soon. I would think the link between the guy and the family would have a lot to do with that decision.
