    Yeah but I'm a guy so I don't actually read the detail...
    For a phone call? Probably!
    I think....

    C-section is all good - when medically justified - but I'm not a big fan of risky elective procedures for vanities sake
    Of the timing, or of the section, or of the booking it?

    I approve of the possibility of sections. Without the emergency type, I'd have died before birth.

    Fair enough. My mother was quite disappointed she needed 4 sections for 4 children - but after having a crash section with me, they insisted she had planned elective sections for my younger siblings. Labour was more risky, apparently.

    Isaac was born by c-section too. Initially I'd wanted a more natural birth. After being in labour for nearly 3 days, I was happy to get it all over with!

    Have they done anything they can throw these bustards in prison for? It's just appalling. I was swearing at the radio when I was driving. I would have bought a Times this am but got a Photography magazine (no not that sort of photography) instead.

    Depends on what actually happened, but there would be possible offences under the Telecommunications Acts, and Perverting the Course of Justice, too.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Never having had a baby a planned caesarian sounds like the ''nicer'' option to me. (I know its not very earth mother, but it would be easier in a lot of eways, e.g. dh would be able to book time off work) I'd want to know the sex in advance too.

    I hope they are paying your expenses
    I'll wait to hit them with that idea if I get as far as an actual interview. But they have other candidates.. probably put me on the "not today thank you" list for asking.

    And, expenses aside, I now have to replace 3 tyres on my car and have a haircut "in case". So there goes £200 probably.

    Highest - lowest in my neck of the woods - £1.42 and £1.28. For unleaded.
    Mine's diesel, so I had to look up the unleaded.

    £1.34, £1.37, £1.40

    It's cheap in London isn't it! 6p cheaper than my cheapest.

    They paid Sienna Miller £100k for hacking her phone messages. I wonder what they should pay the parents of Milly Dowler?
    They can hack mine for just £50,000. I'd be a bargain.

    I hate the NOTW. 20 something years ago they were camping on my doorstep because my then semi-famous boyfriend did something he shouldn't have. Nothing bad, just stupid. You couldn't get rid of them and I thought he was going to have a breakdown as a result. Good riddance to the misery creating barstewards. They deserve everything they get.

    I don't know but I hope when they add up the payments to the Dowlers, the Chapmans, the Wells, the Paynes, the McCanns and all of the families of the 9/11 victims that Murdoch has so little money left he finds himself at the mercy of Australia's BTL landlords, and that Rebekah "looks like she swallowed a wasp" Wade accidentally downs the whole hornets nest.
