Bullying…My rollercoaster ride. Bullying comes in a lot of different forms, it could be name calling, being spat at, having your things stolen, being punched, people talking about you behind your back, discrimination, racial abuse, other kinds of abuse, I could go on for hours. In this piece I'm going to tell you the story about the low life's that bullied me to breaking point when I flipped and how I overcome it. I'll try to put some funny bit's ...
...that I don't talk about very often, but I guess you want to know a bit about bullying seen as you're here, so here goes. Altogether I was bullied for 8 years from year 2 of my primary school years to year 10 of my secondary school years (from aged 7 to 15). When I was young, my parents never had much money to provide me with all that the popular school clothes, packed lunches and fancy accessories that the "in group" had so I guess the young bullies ...

== BELGIAN CUISINE == Poor little Belgium does get some very bad press. If most people were asked about Belgian food they would probably say chocolate and chips and mayonnaise!! Today I am here as an honoury ambassador of Belgian food and will try to show that there is more than frites and chocolate to Belgium. Belgium is sandwiched between France and Holland along the North Sea, It covers a strip of land almost 200 miles long and 100 miles wide. ...
...densely populated country in the world. The country is divided into two distinct cultures -- the Flemish in the Northern half, and the Walloons in the Southern half. The languages spoken include French, Flemish, and German, though in tourist centres most people speak English as well. The first time I went to Belgium was almost thirty years ago, it was the first foreign holiday I had taken my (then) three children on, we stayed in Ostend, although ...

...of worship. As just about everything else in his life, he considered religion within the poetic and dramatic contexts of his general outlook on life. In this outlook God and faith became something far beyond the institutionalised religions that he felt supressed real faith. He had a deep dislike towards protestantism and particularly puritanism that Luther epitomised, he hated the sort of teachings of the Old Testament that led to religious wars ...
...towards atheism, but still firmly believed in an afterlife and a soul. If anything he had a strongly Beethovenian admiration towards nature, which resulted in his romantic worship of the beautiful in nature and in art. These ideas can also be heard in his music where the religious thoughts alternate between the commonness of church practices and his own brand of devoted romanticism. His ridicule to religion is well in evidence in the finale of the ...

...May 2003. Melissa again dropped everything to come down and support me. After the funeral, she had to go back to London; she had booked two weeks holiday for her wedding and the honeymoon. Before she left, she took me to Monsoon to buy a wedding outfit; I had no heart left to do it for myself. How very glad I was that she helped me to do this. Going through my mothers photographs, gave me an idea for a special present, although I had given her money ...
...on a hot June day, everything was perfect. As it was a civil ceremony, they both spoke their own vows to each other. Their friends read the poetry of Keats and Yates. As Melissa’s father felt he should not be the one to give her away, I did this myself. At the reception, I knew I had to make a speech, gulping down some wine, I welcomed Mark to the family, there was something I needed to say, but how would Melissa take it? Throwing away the speech, ...

Member advice on bartending! Or just a sneaky peak into all things alcohol… Being a bartender is pretty straightforward, becoming a good bartender is a little challenging but becoming a great bartender might be a good deal more difficult than everyone thinks… In this review I’ll look at product knowledge, presentation, flair bartending, and other random bits ad bobs!. I’ll try my hardest to throw in a few little known interesting booze-related ...
...thinking it might be best if I wrote some sort of nomenclature detailing the ways of the bartender so here is a brief list of some of the less obvious. Hawthorne strainer – coiled strainer for shakers Double strain – strain with a hawthorn and then a small sieve Bar Spoon – a long, spiraled spoon Wheel – a slice through a piece of segmented fruit that looks like a wheel! Boston Shaker – cocktail shaker, half glass, half tin Muddler – a little ...

It was the Matron at the school of my eldest two children. She told me she had my son Josh with her. Apparently he had been the goalie in a game of football. The ball had whacked his wrist and he was in extreme pain. He had trouble flexing his fingers. I am not an uncaring unsympathetic Mum, ( " Will you ...

Sweary and tallulahbang goaded me into doing this beauty challenge. Why me? I know I'm not the most masculine of men. But I've always drawn the line at make-up. This is mainly because I fear I'd be too convincing in drag (it's the child-bearing hips). Maybe that's also the reason I prefer women with minimal make-up. I've been mocked in the past for my tastes: women scornfully assure me that they all wear some sort of slap. I'm apparently just too ...
...FAVOURITE PERFUME? I love the smell of Napalm in the Morning (by Givenchy), naturally. But apart from that, I'm as hopeless about this as I am about all these questions. I occasionally pass a comely local lass in town and think, "that smells nice." It's often just the aroma of the chips she's eating. But short of braving the orange ladies in Debenhams and trying all the testers, I'll never find out my favourite women's perfumes. I have been bought ...

...He would give up everything for his child. I knew it. ---------------------------------------------------- And, sure enough, he did. When he arrived, he was extremely sceptical – he seemed pretty suspicious (with good reason, I suppose). But I’d known it would pan out this way and I’d taken the necessary precautions. I also, conveniently, had a pregnant friend who owed me a favour (see? Even I realise it pays to do the occasionally good deed for ...

I was eager to see what my competition looked like and it didn’t put my mind at ease wher I actually saw her. She was probably at least a stone heavier than me, with sloping curves where I had none, and voluptuous breasts. The hipster jeans and short t-shirt ...

It's 12 o'clock in sunny Dublin on Saturday the 20th of June 2009. Spanish tourists have started to gather in large groups at the entrance to every single place of interest ready to be unyieldingly in the way of everyone else. Many Dubliners are either talking about the Britney Spears concert the night before that caused a hell of a lot of traffic on the Belfast to Dublin road or the Oasis concert that caused a hell of a lot of traffic on the Belfast ...
...talking about the Jehovah's witness convention about to take place that day that caused an ever so slight increase to the hell of a lot traffic on the Belfast to Dublin route. But in the Best Western Hotel off O'Connell street three young men are just waking reluctantly. Why is that woman banging on the door? Why is Phelim's bed covered in blood? "Hello?" The maid unwittingly opens the door. All the rooms in this hotel are the exact same. There's ...

...'life' in all it's winder is really just getting in the way of our long term vision for things. When this happens, we get stressed, our bodies fight us for a bit of peace and quiet and we end up with a headache, or a tummy ache or a really strong urge to run away and hide from it all. And when that happens, we look in the mirror, and we judge ourselves harshly, and we feel, well, we feel terrible. Planning little moments for ourselves to have space ...

One Step at a Time For a long moment I am inside a thunderclap. Then - not for the first time - I fly over a car and hit a wall. I'm inverted so - after a cartoon pause - I follow gravity to the blue-brick floor and crash crumpled in a heap. My eyes open. The metal rim of my broken visor lies on my leg and I think a smashed car bumper is stuck in me. With a grim smile I see what it is and am grateful. My other leg appears to be missing, however. ...
...Now there are voices: 'Put them fags out!' 'Quick - there's petrol everywhere!' And unusual sights: Silvery streetlights set against a jet-black sky, and faces that swim close to mine then disappear. Then there is one that is my mother and it stays. Someone cuts my leather jacket up the back and pulls it off. An ambulance bounces me to the Accident Hospital in Birmingham City Centre. A young doctor - ginger haired and academic-looking with ...

Hello. My mum Koshkha is a member of a travel website called Trivago and she has found out that are quite a lot of bears that like to travel. Indeed, there's a bear called Travelteddy who comes from Munich and she has invited him to come and visit me and my brothers later in the year - apparently he's going to Norway, Canada and Kenya first. I learned to my disgust that Travelteddy is going by 'airmail' - pah! no self-respecting bear should ever ...
...seat in the back of the car. So I had a word with Koshkha and reminded her that she should update my review to let other humans be reminded that we bears have standards. This is something she typed up for me last year and I want to make sure that you all remember to treat your bears well. So here goes - a reminder of the bear essentials of travel. ************************************************************** Hi there, I'm Pooh and I'm a travel ...
