Re: Schools. WTF?

I am surprised this is enabled under EU laws, it surely passes for discrimination of some sort, I neither agree nor disagree, but the UK really needs to start sorting out what it's policies are.

Re: Malay Muslim groups to wage 'jihad' against Cadbury.

Dusting Off My Abu Dhabi Barstool

Marking my spot pending my return mid June to AD after a rather fraught time in Cairo, can't believe I lasted 14 months, I think it might be a while before I stop hiding under the table when...

Re: Packed lunch

I've made one every day for Mr Lanark for almost 9 years now, it depends what plan he's on, if he's low carbing then it's chicken/meat salad, if not then I try to make healthier options with...
