Mac-

I checked out your link.

Not much new is there? Unless you count smorgsie's cane.

Do you think they'll allow me to use the Mercury as my avvie?

Thanks.

Sure, why not?

Right, I'm off to see Scottish hopes being dashed (probably) at Hampden.

Come on, you Jocks! We should at least have more players sent off.

What?? For defending the ordinary girl against the disesteem she must feel by all these male chauvist pigs whoooin' an' aaaahhhhhin' over the few whose bodily physiognomy meets their approval after they have appraised and compared them to the pneumatic babes in the tabloid press as if they are up on an auction block having been on the pill or fitted with a coil and ready for their valued attention.

Pull the other one Mac.

I think ladies are the only ones who can decide who the MCPs are. That's if they have remained ladies under those sorts of pressures.

I don't care to debate this. By their deeds ye shall know them.

I had a wart on my finger and it's almost all gone now. So that's quite good.

Italy took an unfair advantage by fielding players who were bigger, more intelligent, quicker and more skilful that our boys. So that one went with the form book.

Yeah- but Scotland had an extra man who got them a 2 goal start.

I see what you mean. The officials (Spanish?) were not error-free, but the Jocks seem to be most exercised abot the foul on a Scottish defender, in the last minute, which was not given and the subsequent corner kick led to their second goal.

But hey. I think the Italians were better overall, so no complaints from me.

I answered the question with a No. I added the rider for emphasis.

Walter's links are not guaranteed to provide 8 year olds with useful ideas. They may do and they may not. They have possibilities of being harmful.
A lot of life-long obsessions begin in that age range. Stamp collecting, trainspotting, ballet dancing, for example.

After viewing Mac's great link though I think it might be best to go and have a word with the teacher. It isn't as if Roman Women are the only subject for an 8 year old's school project and that is assuming it is suitable, which it isn't. Politicising 8 year olds on gender issues sounds a bit suspicious to me.

Here's an example.

It's from an article in a Sunday Times Culture entitled WHY WE STILL DIG ANCIENT EGYPT.

Quote:

Many middle-aged Londoners still remember the excitement of queuing as children--some for up to eight hours-- for the chance to see the 3,300-year-old treasures. Indeed, several British Egyptologists today attribute their career choice to the inspirational effect the exhibition had on them.

That's the 1972 exhibition at the British Museum of the treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun.

So you see- you can get necrophilia.

Miles Kington, I think it was, once wrote a list of types of people with polarised habits and tendencies, along the lines of "There are people who are never late, and those who are never on time. There are those who drop litter, and those who are compulsively tidy. There are those who think only of themselves, and those who are constantly doing things for others...."

I have known people who shop all the year round with Christmas presents in mind. I am definitely not one of those (and I'm rather glad about that, although I like giving presents.) I don't start to feel Christmassy until after the 20th of December- usually later, these days.

You stingy sod Steve-

You should get her a Black and Decker workmate and the latest thing in power tools. Those are the sort of things that are ideal for the head of the household.

Do you not remember Les Battersby getting Janice a deep fat fryer.

I always preferred cash myself.

I love getting presents for people. It really bugs the hell out of me when people say stuff like "oh don't get me anything, I'm not bothering with Christmas this year."
