I've always found exploring to be quite dangerous, more often than not the explorer gets injured in some way.

Without sounding like a hippy and all. What this country needs to do is to stop pushing both parents to work by supporting the parent that does work (I'll remain PC by not specifying sex), and raising the start age for school to 7. Many of the scandinavian countries support this idea, and yet the kids still do better than they do over here. It's not surprising kids go on the warpath when they've been institutionalized from the age of 6 months, shacked up with a teacher that really doesn't understand it's needs or supply it with seratonin, plus 30 other kids that all have the same issue. It's like turning kids into cattle, fattening them up for market day.

The problem with the English government is they try to cover their mistakes, rather than getting to the root of the cause and fixing them. If all kids started school at 7 and spent the first 7 years close to at least one parent, they'd be secure, confident and probably more intelligent. Plus, the social matter won't exist, because the kids would mix with other kids whose mum's or dad's socialize with their parents.

Get it right, England!!!

Btw, I'm from Bristol, so I do have a right to complain

Howdy neighbour, I'm from Bristol as well. and you're right, you do have a right to complain.

Hey, neighbour indeed I'm specifically from Portishead... How bout you?

Kingswood, only a few miles from the center of town really.

Hey, I lived there for about 12 years. Top of Pound Road. Went to Mangotsfield school, Soundwell college and Staple Hill primary school (not in that order). Course, I left college over a decade ago.

I went to two mile hill primary, left there nearly four decades ago.

Small world, isn't it.

Absolutely. I think my step dad went there. Did you know a David Miller? Short fat guy with a large head

You know what, the name does kind of ring a bell but not very loudly if you know what I mean.

Could just be my mind playing tricks with me.

Let's see, I would of started primary school in 1970.

Dave would have been 9, then. He's quite well known in K'wood, though.

Maybe someone from one of the many pubs in the area?

My local was the Lamb and Lark near speedwell school, then there was The Lord Rodney and The Star at soundwell and the ...........

If you frequent those, you'll DEFINITELY know his sister, Jane Risdale (or is her name still Jane Griffin? I forget).

Still no score, mind you, I haven't been to those pubs for twenty years, too old to bother with that now.

I tend to stay in with a few cans, bit of an old fart.

Ahh, well. The important point here is you're a PB coder Is that professionally, or just as an enthusiast?

You're right there, PB is the best language I've used.

I haven't released anything professionally but I have sold things to a few firms, usually places where I work.

My current workplace has been using a program of mine, for the last few years, to manage the workload of some of it's workers. Actually streamlined the whole working process quite a lot.

How about you?
