Comrade, discussion was interesting. Amazing what nearly 40 years in the job brings you. It seems that no-one has identified for them the number of "rushed" adoptions that have gone bad with adopters not having time and support in preparing to take on children and reacting in tragic ways i...

Kev, is that the centre on the A 65 near Lawkland? Nolic

Hi moh, not really but I am enjoying what I'm doing. Nolic

Working. Looks like I might be getting drawn into the national debate on adoptions. I expressed my view in a national forum about Ofsted's inability to inspect adoption services to the extent that the new mandate requires. I've now been contacted by a representative of the Association of Directors o...

There was an article about TT in one of the on line papers a couple of weeks ago. Mick Aston will not be doing any more series as he objects to them loosing archaeologists in favour of presenters. Stewart Ainsworth and Helen Geake are to appear less often which is a real pity as Stewart is often the...

Nat West in Burnley got me this am. Intent on paying in some money for Charlotte and Dan I was faced with the queue lines that funnel you to a cashier but people were queuing at both ends. Almost caused a riot when I went into the wrong line as they were waiting for appointments and as soon as they ...

Looks like a home made knuckle duster on the left. Nolic

Gearce, twas ever the case. I suspect we have a lot more donors now than ever before. Nolic

Perhaps I'll pass on that. Nolic

Ria, look under your name on the right of any posts that you make. Nolic

Nice to see one of the herons out on the river at first light. I've missed seeing these magnificent birds early doors. Nolic

Was it a carpet shop? Nolic

My moan is all the "supportive" well to do members who are making such a fuss about paying over a few pounds because they claim the site has changed. It has changed, get over it and either cough up some cash or put up with the adverts. Nolic

Belle as per your response to Tizer elsewhere I shall refer you to the topic "Advertisements, Donations & Financing " Nolic

Marilyn wrote:Yes...I am sorry but that advert banner upsets me too...and we are paying to watch it!

Those members who make a donation to the site do not have to see the adverts. Nolic

I'm sorry for your loss Sue. Nolic

Maz, why should Doc continue to subsidise others enjoyment. If members don't want adverts then they know what to do. Nolic

Shepherds whistle? Nolic

Happy Birthday Comrade. Have a good one. Nolic
