I have recruited a few extra people to play, I hope no one minds, but I thought it might be more fun if there were more people!

Seeing as I have exams coming up, 'Je ne veux pas travailler' (I don't want to work) by Edith Piaf sums me up nicely!

<t>did anyone ever see that programme, err, I can't remember its name sorry. It was a reality tv programme anyway, but unlike most it was actually pretty interesting. They took a group of young men - late teens to early 20s- who were all headed for trouble, most had criminal records etc or had been ...

I watched it in a cafe in damascus and it was pretty crazy! Everyone was cheering and booing - you could hear it from down the street when they scored. Apparently everyone in Damascus is a Man U fan - random!

ineffective police work? I would have thought it was more due to problems within the society? If you got rid of the causes, the police wouldn't have any crime to detect or prevent.
