Does an early Christmas just dilute the festive spirit?
Although I can see the point from a retail point of view, for me as a consumer I just get really hacked off at seeing it so early as I agree that Christmas should be thoroughly in December and not in any other month! It most certainly shouldn't precede Halloween! Does somewhat spoil the magic -...- Furrtiv

Having a nightmare with troublesome travellers
Sorry to hear about all that Doodles - is there not a friend who can sit in the shop with you? Not as a paid member of staff, but maybe just as a visitor, another pair of eyes? The presnce of another person who isn't obviously a customer might possibly make them think twice. How about capturing...- Furrtiv

Can I use Disney images?
And TBH, if you don't want to draw the designs yourself, there are plenty of artist and designers willing to work with small businesses to produce imagery you can safely use.- Furrtiv

Animal welfare v. Childrens welfare
To me, personally this story tells of a failing of social services, rather than a child welfare vs. animal welfare case. The children were at risk from disease, so they also should have been removed, but it took a complaint and action by an animal charity to remove those children from harm (by... -
Grand National
Also, the crops are made from quite soft, flexible material not unlike a LARP weapon, designed to cause as little discomfort as possible when used correctly, and there are stringent rules on their use. Horses' broken bones heal just the same as any other mammal's, the reason they have to be... -
Since when did it become ok to make stuff that just doesn't work!!!
Reminds me of when my old washing machine stopped working - ten years after purchase (and it was secondhand even then!). Took it apart, looked up the part we needed on eBay, but as the entire inside of the drum was cacked up with limescale, the decision was made to buy a new one. Off partner... -
Time to ban religious groups
What, like people have been trying to do with homosexuals for decades? Try being married, being conformed and fitting in? Because, you know, who you go to bed with is so bloody important to the rest of the world? Maybe that's why some of "them" are so out there and in your face? But with every... -

Time to ban religious groups
It's been a very, very long time since being gay was accepted as being a disorder. Quite frankly, being gay is "normal", it's found amongst various animals in nature including bonobo chimps (they're famous for it!:D) and to suppress a type of sexuality as wrong or a mental disorder is to... -
Debt Relief Order
Yes, I recently had to use the CCCS and they were very helpful, I was made redundant and couldn't afford to pay my full loan repayments. The bank didn't really want to listen, even though I made a reasonable offer, so I went ahead and spoke to the CCCS and they helped me sort everything out with...- Furrtiv

what age
It will never be the right time for me - don't ever want kids, not particularly keen on em, and there's no way I'm going through pregnancy and labour! Thankfully other half feels the same way. I'm with Sir Earl, decide what's right for you and don't feel that you should have kids just because... -

Bullying at work :-(
And it also doesn't help the cases of those who are being genuinely bullied, either, as everyone thinks that the bullied person is just a moaning minny, or unable to cope.- Furrtiv

Save Our badgers - epetition already underway, please help
Personally, I think that the proposed 70% cull has an underlying motive of cutting the breeding numbers so badly that they'll never recover in the future at all. I'll be signing this one.
