they are taking the reports off aljezzera but say they need more evidence.. it appears the uk hostage has no chance and will be the 3rd, his family have just been on the tv condemning the prime minister for the iraq war and asking for his resignation.

but what can a prime minister do?

surrender to the sicko's commands?

Well, they could release them (the two women detainees). We could do with knowing why they are held and what they are charged with ...

According to this mornings newspapers only 2 women are being held prisoner at this time. They are both high ranking scientists charged with developing and testing chemical weapons

They are Dr. Rihab Rashid Taha, a scientist whom some American officials called "Dr. Germ" for helping Iraq make weapons out of anthrax, and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, a biological weapons researcher known as "Mrs. Anthrax."

When the women were seized in May 2003, U.S. officials told CNN they were optimistic that Taha's apprehension would prove to be extremely significant, given the scope of her work with biological agents.

I'm done. Read coc, now just have to figure out the way out for all of us...

Good for you. I hope it doesn't cause too many problems for you, but remember we're always here if it does. People on here helped me more than they'l ever know. Personally, because I was just brought up in it and never truly believed coc didn't have very much impact on me, it just reinforced what I had already guessed. The real big thing for me was reading George Orwells '1984' and 'Animal Farm'. And they're also a good book to get others to read without appearing apostate.......

growing up in the 70,s and 80,s i remember at the dc in twickenham ,london ,the 1 item of food that was always liked by us kids was a slice of melon!!

i think they were about 4 tickets each (??

)...i must have been very easily pleased because that was a rare highlight... (i never liked the drama much even as a kid).. i dont have too many bad memories of the religion,but i think that even little things like doing away with food at conventions made me question what the hell i was doing in it.

I was gutted when they stopped doing the food at assemblies, we used to volounteer in the fruit packing department at Edinburgh so instead of having to pay ttention we got to skive all the way through, wahey! And talking about miniskirts at assemblies..... a friend of the family complained about a sister wearing a miniskirt to the district assembly, she went on about it so much but never mentioned it again after she turned up as my date a few weeks later, lol.

Save Britains Capital!!!

thornborough henge - britains 5000 year old capital?.

the people of britain 5000 years ago built circular monuments called henges to celebrate their religious life.

these were the focus of festivals, the people who came set up camp around the henge, creating a widespread ritual landscape of burial grounds and spiritual sites surrounding the henge.. thornborough is the last remaining part of the largest henge complex in britain, it is our only triple henge monument and is the only henge site in the world modelled on the constellation orion - 1000 years before the great pyramids of gaza followed the same design.. thornborough henges are protected by law but the surrounding area is not.

Gadget

Maybe I should have proofread my typing a bit better, lol. And feel free to pass this on to as many people as possible, over 6000 signatures are needed to be able to lodge the petition and there are only about 4000 so far.

Morons who steal my laundry detergent.

by Nancy Drake in

i thought the bottle was feeling a little light one day, but i thought maybe my boyfriend did a couple loads (yeah, right.

) then after i bought a full bottle, did one load, and came back to an almost empty bottle, i knew it was theft.

since then, i have to lock it up.

The booby trap sounds good to me too, but rather than going for somethingpermanant like bleach is there anything you could do that would dye the clothes but wash out after a couple of washes? That would be enough to teach them a lesson but not enough to make enemys...........
