what Steve fails to remember is that i have to do the school run first, shall remind him of this when his daughter starts school and he doesnt turn up until after 9

I was reading this article over a coffee earlier - a 10 year old girl gets Tasered by Police - the full article is here - Unruly girl, 10, tasered by police - *MSN News - MSN UK

Got me thinking, as a father of 2 boys aged 12 & 8 would I have allowed the police to do that to my children?

As any parent knows bringing up children is hard work and there are times that we dont always make the right decisions for our children.

Sometimes they push our stress levels to the maximum and even do their best to push our boundaries to the absolute limit but for the mother of this 10 year old child to ask the Police to taser her just because she wont get in the shower seems a little, ok maybe a lot of over reaction.

Im all for discipline, just ask my boys as im fairly strict with them but this is just, well words fail to express how I feel about this crazy act. Ok I wasnt there when it happend but I fail to see how the punishment in this case meets the crime.

Right rant over - be interested to hear your views

Hi IDA

As an ex insurance broker of nearly 20 years in the UK I was reading your post with interest. Must admit im either missing the point or I dont understand how you make your money if you do not charge the customer or the insurance companies. Am I right in assuming that you sell a collision damage waiver policy?

I need about 4 coffees before I start functioning, so arrive at 09.00 but grumpy till 10.00

Good idea, but shows poor business acumen not to judge market conditions when ordering too much stock in the first place!

Agree about getting bombarded with emails.

I know our newsletter for MLS gets pretty good results, but must admit not knowing much about viral marketing. I know Steve's been looking into it but i don't really understand how you would start it off, and what benefit a business gets out of it, if say you send a joke or game to lots of people.

So does the wife come with the house? Small dog is cheaper...

So these google apps will be in "the cloud"

All sounds very odd, yet another bunch of programs people on the shop floor will need to learn, until their internet connection breaks and no more cloud

Everyone just needs office 2003 on their PC, thats when everything worked and was straightforward

I wonder if anymore will be added to that list in 12 months time....

lol its like a therapy class!
