He should be paying for this holiday, not taking it at the tax payers expence, he should not have used his offical car, or he should pay all the monies back.They still haven't learnt from the expences fiasco. I think Bercow is the most obnoxious MP in parliament,(with a wife who has little dignity) who has such a high opinion of himself, I am really surprised that Cameron hasn't got rid of him.

Bearing in mind specials no longer get issued with ceremonial uniform, are we allowed to wear our standard issue uniform to funerals of close relatives and friends? Non serving that is? Thanks!

I am spending part of this summer vacation peer reviewing and proofreading a post-doctoral research paper by a colleague in our Teacher Training Unit. My colleague is a specialist in a branch of applied linguistics called "SLA", or "Second Language Acquisition" and has a Doctor of Education degree in that subject as well as a Master's in English. She is Swedish but her paper is written in English and it concerns some research she has been conducting into the differences between the vocabulary advanced learners think they know, and what they actually know. This paper is peripheral to my own research interest, which is theoretical linguistics, mainly pragmatics (context, s…

I've only been a part of this forum for around eight months, which, isn't a long time at all. I know there are some users on here that have been a part of the forum since the dawn of time. What I have seen in these eight months is a fair few unflattering comments relating to subjects and/or degrees that are achievable through university. One example of a 'Fake' subject is "Fashion". A few comments have been made about this subject to the effect of "It's a joke" or, that it's not a real subject. I'm not going to quote any names or any specific posts, as I'm sure many of you are aware of these posts. Firstly, I'd like to mention that I've met a Police Constable, aRegula…

Hi everyone, looking for a bit of info... I will be moving into my first flat next week and am at the stage of finalising everything. One thing that has come up is that the current owner, who doesn't live there, does not know who the utilities suppliers are. This is for both gas and electricity. My question is how do I go about getting my own arrangements put in place? I know I should take meter readings when I get the keys but what do I then do with these? It's all been done through lawyers etc. so I don't know who to refer these companies on to if they then send me a bill? Any advice/experience would be greatly appreciated...

http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/06/07/2012/133805/E-petition-calls-for-fairer-milk-prices.htm An e-petition has been launched to campaign for fairer milk prices for dairy farmers. The online petition calls on the government to step in to help dairy farmers and reverse the devastating milk price cuts, which they claim will drive many out of business. Addressed to DEFRA, the petition says: "The UK government must do more to protect the interests of British dairy farmers. "The low price of milk is forcing extremely hard-working farming families in to poverty and increasing the dependence on antibiotics that will have a devastating affect on the industry. "If the price of …

Today is the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Mirbat, when a group of 9 SAS soldiers, an Intelligence Cpl, an MI6 operative, and a few locally-enlisted Pakistani troopers of the Sultan of Oman's Armed Forces fought a ferocious defensive battle against a large force of FLOSY terrorists. hell-dent on occupying the desert outpost in which the SAS were based training the Sultan's forces. The battle was characterised by the action of Sgt Labalaba, who single-handedly manned a 25 pounder gun designed to be operated by at least 5 crew, and did much to keep the FLOSY forces from over-running the Mirbat fort. Despite being killed during this action, Sgt Labalaba's outstanding bra…
