That thread's too unfocussed.
Which is your favourite TV channel and why?

I'm a BBC4 niggah myself.

Alt Q: how has Jeff made it to the age he is today without being killed for being a bender?

I like BBC4
But I don't have a favourite channel.

My ex is claiming to have spent 6 weeks researching nursery schools
but is refusing to share her findings with me, insisting I do all the same work again myself, replicating the work she's done and thus wasting hours of my time.

As far as I can see there can be only two reasons for this:

a) it's some kind of fucking stupid test or
b) she's lying and has fuck all to show for this so-called research

What do you reckon?

PS very sorry your works's been lost

It could be that she's done the research
but is she likely to have done a half arsed job? Surely you'd rather do your own research - not that I imagine she'll let you have any input in to where your daughter goes.

I'm guessing the lying option is right
or possibly she has already picked one in her head and wants to see if you'll tally with her on it. I suspect you two look for different attributes in nursery schools
(, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 16:14, Reply)
Actually we both agree that sending her to a school
where more than half of the kids don't speak English as their first language is a massive problem: this means Church of England schools are favoured. There are only two of these locally and I've given her the details on them already. She's such a fucking twat.

my brother found this problem when looking for a school in London

(, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 16:23, Reply)
It's something she needs to get sorted soon
places like that fill up extremely rapidly, and depending on the place they can and will require evidence of attending CoE services or demonstrating Christian faith as a requirement for a definite place, so she might want to think about faking church attendence for a while.

Edit: it is actually probably an idea for her to do it now, for the sake of primary/secondary schools in the area anyway

Occams Razor and all that
Obviously you could do a bit of research and correspond with your ex about the varying strengths and weaknesses of several schools, slipping in the odd bit of abject flasehood to see if it trips her up.
