Absolutely! The press are actively shoving left and right further apart when most of life lives in the middle.

I'd never heard this version before. Just sent it to my partner. I fricking love an unexpected cheery referral. Thank you.

But, has Uk Cadburys gone the same as here in Ireland? Ours now has lower levels of cocoa, higher levels of sugar and - worst bit - palm oil instead of milk. It's no longer an Irish product.
And it tastes RUBBISH. I miss the bliss it used to bring.

I LOVED season one, but into season 2 it all began to feel a bit 'Lost'. But, I finished and I have faith that someone is driving the bus. Essentially. Basically. Hopefully.

I'd LOVE a detachable vagina. Oh the things you could do. Also, well done, June. Saneness vibe activated.

If i went to rob a bank and was met with this, I'd think i was having an aneurism and have myself an instant lie down. So, they'd save the day.

There's no point in getting started. Global and domestic ineptitude makes for a boring SOP.

The core of double standards runs through everything. As a solo parent I have to be everything, while the dad hi fives himself for half-arsed homework I wouldn't turn in.

Used to be the same on Cape Clear island for Good Friday. No gardai on the island. Bedlam. Pub packed. Don't tell a person they can't do a thing. That's ALL THEY'LL WANT TO DO.

My partner and I told our kids that they'd know when they were adults because they'd finally be able to see smurple.

I've yet to meet a religion that doesn't have control at its core.

My kids hated that I didn't allow it. For purely fiscal reasons. I felt bad for them that they missed out on the cash and attention, but not bad enough.

There isn't a band wagon big enough for me to get on to download aaaalllll that bothers me about religion, religion in schools, single sex schools, indoctrination, the notion that children are sinful,on and on. Spirituality is a peaceful thing. Religion is not.

Also, with a name like Merlin Sheldrake the writing of this book was in his stars.

If it helps at all, years ago i went to a course run by a voice actor. On the way home his voice told me to Lock The Door' on the Dublin - Cork train loo. It's been unnerving me for years now.

It's a loyalty/payment system for education. I really hate the notion of kids having sins to confess. I said no to confirmations. My 2 were devo. Why? It wasn't spiritual. No, they were down a heck ton of cash handouts. Some kids were making in the 1000s.

It's the last vice grip of religion. 19 years ago i had the same debacle. I wanted my newborn daughter to go to a mixed school. I have firm ideas on what single sex schools do to a society, so I had to have her baptised CofI. It was the ONLY mixed option. Rankles to this day.

It makes me so mad that we still do this, but the reason we do is, I think, predominantly to do with schools. From baptism we're vying for education opportunities.

This is a devastating read, Patrick. Could barely catch my breath. That the fighters are funded by big countries with dubious intent, but the humanitarian groups are barely so is revoltingly wrong.
