Our first was unplanned, and very spontaneous and in a hot tub in a very random place in edinburgh- and - WOW!!!! We won't forget in a hurry!!!!
Our next was an arranged meet, and I am trying very hard to forget all about it... oh dear....
sorry to hear that sass pm box always open... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
But just why do the public like them and want to vote for them? Because that's precisely the reason they were chosen for the show.
They were headhunted by producers long before, who already had the show planned out.
The audition process is really just to find the stupid funny awful singer acts etc, and all of them audition in front of producers first, and then are selected for the TV appearance in front of the 'real' judges.
The votes don't need to be rigged, they are rigged long before by clever TV editing and clever choice of participants and clever media write ups. The audience will always vote for the ones the producers want.
I'm sure this series had the outrage over a contestant being voted off- I can't think of a better way for the producers to pull in a bigger audience that to manufacture such a drama!
Maybe this can be a thread for the two of you to get your issues out and move on from the bickering for once? Seeing as you have a thread for free speech- let rip...
Like the kind that exist in the movies???....
I'm with you on the drunk thing- I would never get myself in such a state, or i would hope i wouldn't.
What I find appalling is that someone can laugh at this.
Yes, she was stupid to get in that state, but does that mean she was asking for it?
As i said, I don't know the girl, i don't know the situation or any other facts other than in the original post.
What I do know is its an all too common occurence.
I think it often comes down to the 'lad mentality', another notch on the bedpost, with as little effort as possible to get an easy shag.
Silly drunk girl gets what's coming to her?
Would anyone thinkit fair game to sleep with someone that drunk that you couldn't be sure of consent?
Would anyone sleep with someone that clearly that drunk?
It worries me that a lot of lads think a drunk girl is an easy target...
Have you ever been so drunk that you regretted something like that?
Luckily, to my knowledge i have never been that bad, but i know plenty of friends who do have regrets and also memory blanks from nights out...
Well, just glad that this is how everyone else sees it- I couldn't believe it when i heard someone thought it was funny!
I hope to god nothing else happened to her, but i have heard of much worse than this!

:shock: I have just been told a story by my friend, about her friend.
The girl in question had been at a party and has since discovered a picture of herself on her camera phone, that she has no recollection of being taken.
In the picture she appears as if she has passed out in a dark room, and she has her top pulled down and her skirt pushed up.
She has absolutely no recollection of this, no idea of who could have taken the picture, but knows that she was so drunk that she couldn't remember most of the party. At best, it was folk messing about, at worst, well, she doesn't even want to think about it....
Although i don;t know her, I'm told she's a very shy girl, who would never willingly have so much on show, which i think is what makes this worse.
So what do you think?
A comment from another male particularly shocked me, who laughed, and said 'that's what she gets for getting in such a state'
IMO this is a form of assault not a prank gone wrong.
I can't understand how anyone could laugh.
Did she get what she deserved for getting so drunk?
it has been ages, hasn't it fabs?! I want I want I WANT!!!!!
a map to my house :twisted:
Hopefully you will get an answer sooner rather than later, i can't believe it's taken so long, it does sound like the school is failing and surely they have to do something about it, and i can understand why you would be thinking about home schooling, you would feel more in control of her learning.
I think for me though it would be a very very last ditch option if there was absolutely no other solution!
In edit: I know home schooling is definately not for me and hopefully not ever for my children, but i also know it must be a very difficult decision to make, so it's difficult to be critical of it without knowing the full scenario!

Has the scrummiest looking 9lbs worth I've EVER seen!!!
:twisted: :twisted:
I would never choose home schooling, either if it had been for me, or if we ever have kids.
School and learning are about so much more than just the knowledge that you absorb and about how well you can do in exams.
School provides children with life skills that I just don't see how you can get from staying at home and learning with a parent/ small group.
When you start to think of all the extras at school that are such a big part of growing up and learning, be it interaction in the lunch hall, interaction with authority figures, being part of the school community, school sports day, assemblies, walking with you mates to school, break time, drama classes, team working etc etc etc I have never felt it's right to home school.
I think children need time away from their parents and vice versa, and children need to start to learn responsibility for themselves, rather than relying on their parents to teach them everything.
I think if your daughter is happy where she is, then you should be thinking more along the lines of what the school should be doing to help the situation.
As for me, I hated school, I'm a terrible learner and hate being stuck to schedules, timetabled in. But i need to like that or lump it in my job now, and i know i would've been a very different person had i been homeschooled, and not in a good way!!

Sorry forgot to qoute but,
Staffcple said this:
'Unless of course child protection becomes the absolute priority it should always have been. In which case people will have to accept over-protectiveness, which it seems the various agencies involved get villified for as well.'
I think this is very true, I have noticed that some of those who want the witch hunt here, have been those that in past threads have displayed their horror at Britain turning into a 'nanny state'.
Yes indeedy, you can't have it both ways....
Remember, it's ok to feel hungry!
I think so many people have forgotten what hunger feels like!!!!
Just because you feel a wee bit hungry, does not mean you have to eat!
Anyway, for loosing weight- ditto the others-
EAT LESS, DO MORE.
Simple!

I was sticking to the below £20 rule!
