I once googled an IP address which told me it was located in Hook in west Wales, but it actually turned out to be in Central London.0 -

The days when I could get p1ssed from two bottles of beer are sadly long gone.
Although I'll concede the body weight thing might be true....:o“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I once checked my own IP address and it said I was in Birmingham.
While it's true I have been accused of many things, being Brummy isn't one of them.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I wonder why EAs have never given away mini pencils, like you get in Ikea, when they do house viewings. Set of details and a mini pencil to make notes, with their name/phone number on ....0

I'm looking for another BBC link story but i will post this one for now:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-24880356
A scheme where kids learn to brush their teeth at school has 'saved' £6m - sounds good. Unfortunately the BBC neglect to say whether this is an annual or total saving since the scheme started in 2001 however they do say the scheme costs £1.8m per year.

I only got a few posts in but the use of are for our was doing my head in and I had to leave....at least my boys (the 'yoof' arrggghhh, something else I want to correct), know the difference between the two words and when to use them.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Brilliant article.
I got 8/9 correct on the quiz. Perhaps explains why I'm not convinced by so many of the more pessimistic points of view out there.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
