now waiting for the wailing from Dewani

Re: The UK news thread.
 

The Pistorius wailing reminded me that we are never too far away from our basic instincts. When I heard the wailing I hoped someone would come along and put a stop to it.

I´ve been watching this trial with interest and I really can´t make up my mind. The wailing really unnerved me and I thought that it was real. However, if OP is in denial then he would be doing that, wouldn´t he?

Prosecutor Nel, the ´Pit Bull´is doing a good job though, if you like that sort of thing. I shall be tuning in on Monday to see how it progresses.

The Royals down under.
On balance I support the concept of the UK monarchy...just.
However, not impressed with Prince William. His efforts at public speaking make me cringe -even worse when he attempts to crack a joke. Very wooden and weak.
Stupid, pointless and irrelevant comments - trying to convince the masses how in touch they are.

Glad I've got that off my chest.
Still got GP's and Hillsborough to go though!

Don't worry you want have to wait long.

It seems his wife sent a text message stating that after finally getting it on with hubby, he was no great shakes in the sack, or at least not as good as her other boyfriends.

I imagine that went down well, :frown: or maybe not :frown:.

25 schools in Birmingham are being investigated, pupils were seen being segregated, and the preachers have stated that it is a Jihad, and all methods are valid, the ultimate goal is strict islamic education. Skynews.

Instead of trying to change the system in the UK, why don´t the parents move on to a country where the education of their children is more in keeping with strict islam .
