Mohamed now attends school in Doha, Qatar, where he moved with his family after being offered a full scholarship by the Qatar Foundation.

God bless this poor family. I hope one day they can put this horrible event behind them, and that people allow them to do so - especially the children.

The amount of crap we are legally obligated to buy for the nursury I work in is staggering. For example, every employee wears latex gloves and apron for any toileting needs. But they have to be changed and disposed of for every new kid handled - so in a class of 15, that’s 15 aprons and 30 gloves legally required to…

I work at a nursery which has won government awards for service, education and welfare, but a lot of staff actually drop their kids at the middle-of-the-road nursery in the next village before coming in. We don’t get a discount if we enroll our kids were we work.

You sometimes get this with people who have very generic first name but a more distinct middle name, so John Woodrow Smith becomes J. Woodrow Smith. Or, they might have encountered another person already using John Smith and changed it to avoid confusion, especially if the other person is already established or better…

I know media likes to take liberties but honestly, seeing all this made me angry enough that’d - if I were the kind of person - I’d use some strong language. I don’t know which part is angrier, the lit major side or the historian side or the female side or the has-a-brain side...

Please go back to America, we don’t want you here. For all our faults we’re not a nation of children who need someone to take us by the hand - if we’re going to make these decisions, we have to do it ourselves.

I hate how well-known “Yolo” and all it’s associating have gotten, because it’s actually a lovely name for a boy here (with a different spelling but pronounced the same way). My wife and I have it on the name-list, but I’m remembering all the poor girls with the name Katrina once the hurricane happened.

NASA wants to go to Mars. And Obama has turned NASA over to Muslim outreach, in case you’ve forgotten.

My elderly cat has just spent the day shagging every cuddly toy in the house. I gave up trying to stop him, he just moved on to another teddy.

“I’m forgiven,” she said. “Washed clean.”

Circa 1990, when I was in kindergarten, a 1st grade boy brought a gun to school and threatened someone with it. The teacher took it off him, but the only results was they called his parents. The school wasn’t exacuated.

My highschool science teacher set up an experiment where we had guess if different things would/wouldn’t burn, explain our reasoning, then test. Turns out steel wool will burn, and fill the school with noxious smoke. No-one got arrested.

When I moved to this area I couldn’t bring all my kit and consoles, so all I had was my laptop. I went into the second-hand game and DVD shop in town, which sells games going all the way back to the NES days. However, when I asked the man behind the counter where the PC game section was, he actually laughed in my face…

My wife and I made private arrangements online. Our donor is a lovely man, and local, and he certainly wouldn’t have qualified to the national clinic’s standards since he’s not 6ft and he’s not a PhD, or from Birmingham (which is over 150 miles from us anyway!).

My wife and are just lazy :p

So if a man and woman make love in the shower, does she have to refrain from soaping up in there as well? Instead, wait until he gets out and then fill the tub? Is she even allowed to get wet, or is that related to cleaning?

If you want to put out a product “inspired” by a recent tragedy or disaster, you should donate in support of a related cause. Otherwise, just admit it’s about making money, whatever your intentions.

Maybe the “face”, including the eyes, mouth etc, are just decorative mimicry? Like the false “eyes” on the wings of butterflies.

That stereotype again? Come on, that’s so cliched! We have so many other things you could make fun of!
