Does anyone else do this?

I always fight sleep til I can no longer think straight.

Even if I know I need to sleep, I still fight it. However once asleep, I can take my time before I wake up.

Anyone else have similar habits?

A Muslim support teacher suspended for wearing a veil in class says it was never a problem for her pupils.

Headfield Church of England Junior School, in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, said pupils found it hard to understand her during English language lessons.

But Aishah Azmi, 24, said: "They never complained." She added she was willing to take the veil off in class, but not in front of any male colleagues.

Well you have all recently heard of the very large threat posed by 'some muslims' in the UK.

But what happens when the biggest ever weapons stash is found in the uk, and the defendants are not Muslims?

Spam Accounts

It seems I am deleting an awful lot of spam accounts lately.

and I hate doing work.

I am thinking changes are needed.

Maybe add an introduction forum at the top, and only once a person has posted a number ot times will they be allowed onto the main forum?

good idea or bad?

I think it is a rather pointless idea... as spammers will spam that board first and then the main board still leaving much work for me.

On the other hand I can out up more ibstacles to joining up, but that defeats the purpose of haveing forums in the first place...

[b]Muslim women in the UK who wear full veils make "better, positive relations" between communities "more difficult", Commons leader Jack Straw has said.[/b]

Concealing a face was "a visible statement of separation and of difference", the Blackburn MP wrote in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

He said he now asks women who have meetings with him to remove their veils so they can truly talk "face-to-face".

"My concerns could be misplaced, but I think there is an issue here," he said.

Thousands of anti-war protesters have gathered in Manchester for what organisers said was "one of the biggest mobilisations outside London".

Demonstrators are protesting against Government policies in the Middle East and nuclear weapons, on the eve of the Labour Party conference in the city.

The theme is "Time To Go" - a call to get troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Police estimated 20,000 people were taking part. Stop The War Coalition had said it had expected about 100,000.
