michael why dont you take up karate again?
exercise is definately the way forward, im used to doing five times a week of pretty tough training, (we aint british champs for nothing) and now that im not where my sports clubs are its gone down, and my mood goes down with it...though the plus side, at home we HAVE nothing but healthy food!
In holland literally everyone cycles, here many people are in danger of death by obesity, perspective anyone?
britain just needs a serious health reality check, which is very slowly starting to happen!

Cloud - camphill is not private, its a charity funded by the government, people have to get social work to fund them to go there as it is very very expensive, and social work do not much like children going to residential schools, as its cheaper to put them into mainstream education(im sure its not as simple as that), and while this may be of help to some, lots of people with special needs do not cope well, get ridiculed etc etc you'll have heard it all before.
The two camphill places situated in bieldisde and milltimber, well enter them and you wouldnt know you're near a city centre at all, theres lots of land, its spacious and beautiful, and your comment about camphill moving into the country, well thats just bloody ridiculous.
A guy called Karl Konig started up camphill based on the philosophies by Rudolf steiner over 50 years ago (why dont you google it), in the very place now known as camphill estate, murtle is an addition as it grew, camphill house is a beautiful house, with its own library started by mr konig, harbouring years of history of the place, and by the way Konig and his colleagues, were jews escaping from Austria i do believe, there are camphill places all over the world, INCLUDING ones in further away places.
Get a clue before you write such utter shit, please.' Utter selfishness' my ass, what they do there is help people, let the children reach their potential, through arts and crafts as well as an education suitable to their specific needs.
You're right, you're not clued up at all.

i did, let me quote: 'A Comparative Literary Analysis of the Presentation of Madness in The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Girl Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen and Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho.'
probably would have picked something different if i was doing it now, but i really enjoyed writing it at the time(is that sad?) but thats probably because i liked the books...
I would recommend 19th C russian literature, dostoyevsky, turgenev etc, interesting stuff, good themes, not many people will do it. But yeah get a good start this xmas holiday, so many people leave it to the last minute, and thats just a waste because you need lots of time to make it quality, hell yeah!
-
so you dont want that tour then, oh well the kids are on holiday anyway when im back, too bad.
Maybe i'm wrong, but your tone clearly indicated a mocking attitude towards dr geider, and he was representing camphill so therefore i saw it as you mocking camphill, which is what got me mad in the first place.
But since you know so much, i must have read it entirely wrong, and have to apologise for my hastful response.
I guess it probably wont disrupt camphill estate as much as it would have to murtle (ie isnt right beside it), i wouldnt know as im not in aberdeen and havnt seen/read the news so dont even know where this road will be, because they are essentially the same school just in two locations.

I wonder if he'll start a campaign on their behalf?

wow you make me mad, you have no idea what camphill is all about, why dont you go have a visit, i'll gladly give you a tour...really i will. Your comment on Linmoors 'severely autistic children', im sure thats true, but do you know that a lot of the kids at camphill are ones other places and schools found too challenging to take on, so they'll have severely autistic kids too, not to mention all the other typs of special needs, i would know what theyre like, i grew up in camphill.
and for your info, there is another camphill place in milltimber, which is the other half of murtle (both are residential schools), so im sure dr geider (who by the way is my mums colleague) is not happy about it being in milltimber either. But i guess they were just gonna do what they planned anyway. And not everyone in camphill was happy about the big campaign, because 10 years ago they had a chance to do it but didnt.

well for all you fans, lets make you jealous-
today i had the pleasure of doing weights with the 'all blacks' -new zealand rugby team, only the best rugby team in the world, now that *is* cool. They were preparing for their game this weekend.
Wasn't a rugby fan, but think i shall start from now...

you only look as silly as you feel

im gonna go on neighbours and be his new love interest, just you wait
-
well what about a hat, a scarf and a nice pair of gloves, protection is the key, dont go complaining if you dont dress properly!!!
-
born in holland, lived, moved, went to school, left aberdeen when it all seemed possible, occasionally come back to get fed and meet up with long lost friends/lovers and estranged husbands now spend time being intellectual and other such things, in a world of apparent make-believe.
and now i live in the best flat, on the royal mile, care to stop by for some tea?
i have blue eyes, and i enjoy long walks on the beach!
-
on a funnier note: im now doing a gym + weights program, specially made by a mr sports scientist dude, which involves me in the free weights gym with all the buff guys, who know gym terminology and all that, and im bench pressing 25k i'll have you know....erm yeah its not for muscle but for speed, gotta love them squats, help!
tom, me and you , arm wrestle, outiside now!

tha handyman who just came to fix our backwards fridge,
the fact that i can speak russian, no wait that makes me laugh

did anyone ever see the identical old lady twins? who wore matching yellow coats and scarves, or something of that sort, no?
sigh, maybe theyve passed away now,
and sometimes i do miss aberdeen

The End! Amen

hammer of intense evil i think you sound more like an annoying driver
people who purposely do things to annoy other drivers are just silly, and they should stop at once
nae cool
boys with their stupid toys, should be shot

The thing that pisses me off most is folk who use the right hand lane to go straight ahead at a roundabout. It's fucking arrogant. "I'm so much more important than all you people so I'm not going to queue."
but, sometimes people end up in the wrong lanes purely by accident...perhaps they arent concentrating enough, or singing loudly to good music

when one of my whole entire nails came off with one big bang, when i banged it verrry hard, manoman it hurt
or when i thought it would be fun to jump of a reasonably high (for a six year old) bike shed and broke my colorbone, ouch, couldnt lift my head in the mornings to get up anymore!
-
i swear i have roadrage, bad baaaad roadrage
i get angry at people driving ON the speed limit, especially late at night when everybody knows its only polite to zooom around a little, then i overtake
oh the rush,
too impatient i swear, dammit!
It's all about the focus, inhale, exhale, etc.

Dentists are evil. My one stopped being NHS and started charging me for no apparent reason. So I quit (on principle)' date=' but I can't find another dentist now - not even a non-NHS one. Which sucks somewhat. At least I still go to the orthodontist who can point out anything wrong with my teeth.[/quote']
you cant really find any on the nhs anymore, simply because they were so underpaid
i have the worlds WORST teeth, and i dont even eat any sweets, they are just weak, not fair!
Had a filling on thursday and asked for no anesthetic as was doing sports straight after, so had to sit through agony, but its okay if you concentrate and BREATHE through the pain...boyoboy. She thought i was brave!
and yes, i once had awful toothache, so much so that even vibrations from walking hurt so bad, had to get a real emergency after hours appointment and ended up having to get roottreatment, its not pretty!!! sitting for an hour with your mouth open, drooling uncontrollably because the suction women is rubbish! eeuw, awful

I wouldn't mind staying out of Amsterdam because Amsterdam is pretty much rubbish compared to other parts of Holland!
You're right
Go to Leiden, its 10/15 minutes from amsterdam by train, and if you want to go to Holland, then thats a brilliant cosy dutch city.
Though Holland is so small you can get pretty much anywhere in the country in 3 hours or so.
-
my brother just came back from amsterdam with some friends, and he stayed in that pig hostel place and said it was pretty okay!!!
i just stay with family and friends for free, but hey, tough

on another note
where can you buy sundried tomatoes??? i can never seem to find them (or i forget to look) and i have a craving!!!
