For the last three years I've been worried that my old Dentist was in fact two different young Indian ladies that just looked similar and I was unable to tell the difference, it wasn't really a problem as I never had to address her by name, and she/they was/were as cute as a button/s so when I was told she/they had left I was a bit dissapointed as I assumed I would now have some crusty old chap with massive fingers.
But no.
My new Dentist is a smoking hot red haired petite irish girl.
The whole time she was checking my teeth I was listening to her talk and just hoping that I didn't get an unexpected erection.
What has been a delightful surprise to you recently?

In fairness though, it was called a "Rom: Baton cu Crema Rom", so I guess I should have had a think about what 'Rom' could possibly mean.

I wasn't ignoring you two threads ago, was busy. Here's my reply to your question about Japanese alphabets:
Katakana is for 'loan' words, words taken from Western languages. For example カメラ = ka me ra = camera
Hiragana is syllabic, used for Japanese words for which there are no kanji (but you can use it in place of kanji too, I think). For example みどり = mi do ri = green.
Kanji is not syllabic, is adapted from Chinese, each pictoral represents a word, and combinations can be made to make other words. There are over six thousand different kanji, and each one can have more than one reading (context being used to distinguish the meanings). In other words, it's a fucking nightmare.

They offered to sell the land and move out for something like £1million split between the 400 people living there. The council said no and instead decided to spend £18 million on the legal fight to get them removed.

I reckon a lot of that is the legal costs which came from them refusing to accept every court judgement.
If that were the case you are saying that anyone with enough money can do what they like as they just escalate the court costs.

I also think they should be more pragmatic and less principled when it comes to spending that amount of tax payers money. The fact it's taken 10 years and (apparently) cost that much is not saying anything good about either side.

and building on the green belt. www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/sep/16/dale-farm-concreted-basildon-council-owner?INTCMP=SRCH This suggests it wasn't really green belt the idea that small chalets are less desirable in the country than a scrap yard is a push.
And I think they did get temporary planning permission which was then withdrawn during the labour years. Which does change some things in my mind.
And justice shouldn't be blind to the fact you're basically making children homeless. You're not only punishing the people who broke the planning laws but the people they live with.

Your saying it's okay to build something, then apply for permission, and then when it's refused say "don't make my kids homeless". They have been offered council accomodation but they are refusing it as they say living in houses makes them ill. Which is just a lie.

They applied for the court to grant an eviction order, they did, the travellers appealled and the appeal was turned down, so they kept appealing to higher and higher courts citing the fact that their human rights weren't being considered. It's taken this long so that he council can amply demonstrate that they have taken all these things into account.
Don't for a moment think I'm suggesting there is something wrong with them insisting their human rights be taken into consideration, but to demonstrate this effectively in the eyes of the law takes time.

It's an incredibly important bit of legislation in my view. By attacking the human rights act you are saying that only certain people are worthy of having rights, and by implication that only certain people are worthy of being classed as human.

i should know, i've dated them.
the only problem with the human rights act is that it is open to abuse from some quarters and you end up with farcical claims. but the principal tenets are obviously too important not to have it; that's a no-brainer.
however i still think it stinks that cherie just happened to become an expert in it. if it had been a sale of shares, there'd be some insider dealing going on there.
