Thinking of my three angel babies ..
Feb 1983 (12 week miscarriage - gender unknown)
June 8th 1986 - My only son Alex (full term, cord round neck)
Sept 1991 (14 week miscarriage - gender unknown)
and can I also send my most heartfelt condolances to all parents of lost babies of whatever age. No loss is quite as painful as that of your own child.
Not laughing .. it's sweet. But sara has a point. Good luck with what you're looking for

Oysters, squid, blue stilton (or any blue cheese come to think of it) and I have to agree with sassy about a stinky cock!! :gagged:
I had just arrived back from the school run and the first tower had already been hit - saw the second one being hit and remember just being in utter shock. I thought the first one was a terrible accident until the second one ... I was utterly horrified at the whole dreadful event unfolding live in front of me! I don't think I've ever seen anything that has affected me quite as much as that did.
Diana's death - it was my third daughter's 10th birthday and I was up to get things ready for her bouncy castle party planned for later that day. I switched on the TV just in time to see Tony Blair in his black trench coat delivering the awful news. A short while later, the guy who hired the bouncy castles rang to cancel so, naturally, the party was called off. I think my daughter was as upset about that as Diana's death which might sound shallow but she WAS only 10.
We'd like to add our thanks Bouncy. You put in a lot of effort getting the discount, finding out about the local hotels and then organising the lists. You're a star!
We had a great time ... loads of fun in a lovely atmosphere. It's a bit of a trek but was so worth the effort.
Thanks again :rose:
Can I also confirm for my friend Evie - she's been quite a few times before so I'm assuming she's a member.

The first one is probably more topical at the moment with all the news about binge drinking and knife crime - there would be a wealth of material to research and discuss ... cultural and historical context and of course you could always squeeze a field trip in to Amsterdam (tee hee!)
The second one is more emotive. Kids have, historically, often been expected to be 'minature adults' i.e pre education acts they would have been out working at an age when our modern kids are still playing with toys. In that respect it seems that it's not so much a case of kids being turned into miniature adults but a situation where little girls specifically are being sexualised prematurely ... strange in a society that is concerned with .
Both subjects would make a fascinating dissertation ... which one 'grabs' you the most?
