I am afraid I don't have any but of course there are loads of recipes on the net. Did you know there has just been a Study published that cinnamon can stave off the onset of Alzheimer's, so any cinnamon you can eat is good.
I saw this same clip a few months ago. At least he is in rehab now. Hopefully he will lose some pounds too unless he has a transfer addiction to food. How much is a pack of cigarettes in the US? Here in the UK it is about
UK£ 5.50 = 8.7373 U.S. dollars a pack of 20 UK£ 7.00 = 11.1202 U.S. dollars a pack of 20
What may be "dark ages" to some may be absolutely wonderful to those religious people, so live and let live and unless these religious people are harming anyone in the name of their religion then everyone should do their own thing and not worry too much. People should be more tolerant of different cultures, religions and beliefs. It is only when these cultures, religions and beliefs encroach on the rest of society to the detriment that there is any cause for debate of this issue.
Hi Scotty I don't think that is an isolated incident as stories like that crop up quite a lot. I think if Benefit staff were given a money reward for successfully spotting incidents like this then more would come to light.
We here are a soft touch aren't we? No wonder economic migrants don't stop at Calais and try to get across the Channel every which way they can.
I have no beef about immigrants to the UK. What I do have a beef about are those that do not contribute to society here, learn the language, work and pay taxes for the benefit of society.
Well people could keep the crutches as their knee or hip joints could be giving them grief in another 20 years time?!!!
There was a thread running in the International section and in it the American posters were worried about health care bills and/or the cost of health insurance.
I think we are fortunate here - very fortunate in fact. I worked in the NHS and since it has been run more like a business with targets to meet things have improved in lots of ways but of course other things have got worse.
Cancer screening programmes for instance are brilliant. If cancer runs in your family certain types of cancer can be screened for in family members - obviously prevention being better than trying to cure the disease.
If the NHS could stop this fraudulent problem of tourist treatment then of course the extra money saved could help those who so deserve it.
The original questions is pork is a sin for Christians. Christians are not Jews or Muslims for which pork is forbidden. Therefore it is not a sin for Christians is it, Sabusha?
I am in the mood for dancing - The Nolans (billed as The Nolan Sisters from 1974 until early 1980) are an all female band consisting of a group of sisters from Ireland and England. The group, best-known for their song "I'm In The Mood For Dancing", gained prominence as guest performers on numerous television shows in the UK. The majority of their charted singles and albums occurred in the early 1980s. They continued to be active, and were particularly successful in Japan. The sisters have pursued varying solo careers in acting, music and television presenting. Father, Tommy (19251998) and mother, Maureen Nolan (19262007), who had both worked as singers in Ireland, moved their family from Dublin to Blackpool in 1962, and launched a family singing group, "The Singing Nolans," in 1963. The original lineup comprised the parents, sons Tommy and Brian, and five daughters. The group's, line up changed over the years, included: Maureen (born 14 June 1954), Bernie (born Bernadette, 17 October 1960), Coleen, Linda (23 February 1959), Annie (born 12 November 1950), Denise (born 9 April 1952), Amy, and unrelated singer Julia Duckworth.
In 1975 they supported Frank Sinatra on a UK tour, and Rolf Harris in South Africa. In 1978, they supported Engelbert Humperdinck on a US tour. Between 1974 and 2009, the group released 28 singles, and some 23 albums.
Unfortunately not as I will be moving into rented accommodation. I am going to try and get them straight into a family home setting rather than via a cat shelter place. Of course I will miss them but I feel they will also miss me. I am rather besotted by them and the three of them sleep on my bed throughout the night and whichever room I am in they follow me or sit outside the room's door waiting for me. Ah well!
Don't worry - it is certainly not a BNP rant at all. Most, if not all, would agree with you. What annoys me is you hear that people in their last days because of illness and pain are suffering because the Health Service finds certain medications to ease their pain or cure their condition costs too much, yet £35m is wasted on people who have never contributed to this country's coffers.
It is extremely hard, nigh on impossible, to get kittens and cats rehomed if a person is not able to keep them. I need to get my cats rehomed soon but am dreding the process - (I am emigrating). Cat shelters are inundated with cats and kittens and what annoys me is people still pop into pet shops to buy kittens when there are so many available in the cat shelters - lovely animals who are housetrained and need love and care. Cats have so much love to give - they are beautiful loving animals. They do though need care and attention - it is not just a case of giving them a bowl of water and food. You cannot just take-off for a weekend or a week away without making sure someone is there to take care of their needs etc. Whoever dumped these kitten were cruel cowards. The least they could have done was to simply hand the box into a shelter and say they simply are not willing to care for them. A shelter will take them in that circumstance (the shelter's owners would understand the predicament). The shelter would microchip, vaccinate, feed them etc. This is sad, but it is probably not an isolated case.
Health tourists have taken at least £35million of free treatment over the last eight years.
That is the sum health service bosses have written off after foreign patients came to the UK for treatment – and left without paying.
The Department of Health is still trying to recover millions more from thousands of others who have abused British hospitality, so the real figure could be far higher.
Somebody has to pay: Health tourists have run up a £35m bill over eight years for free treatment before returning to their countries of origin without paying.
The statistics, revealed in a written Parliamentary answer by health minister Simon Burns, show that the amount lost to health tourism is rising dramatically.
More than £6.9million was written off last year, more than three times the £2.1million lost in 2002-03.
Mr Burns said the figures covered ‘total audited losses, bad debt and claims abandoned for overseas visitors’ in England. ‘As well as written-off debt for foreign nationals who are not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, these data include written-off debt for UK nationals who are not ordinarily resident here,’ he said.
‘It does not include monies owed that hospitals are still in the process of attempting to recover.
Debt: Tory Health Minister Simon Burns discovered the statistics
‘The Department does not hold data on the nationality of overseas visitors treated.’
Tory MP Chris Skidmore, who sits on the House of Commons health select committee and uncovered the figures, voiced concerns about the scale of the handouts to overseas patients.
He said: ‘The NHS is not an international health service. It is funded by taxpayers who deserve to ensure that money spent on healthcare is spent on those who invest in the NHS.
'We cannot continue to fund health tourism in this way. This is £35million which could have been spent on front-line resources and improving patient care.’
Entitlement to free NHS hospital treatment is based on a patient being ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK.
Anyone else will be charged for the full cost of any treatment they receive unless an exemption applies to the particular therapy.
While treatment in an accident and emergency department is automatically free to all, emergency care elsewhere is not. However urgent treatment, such as maternity care, will always be given regardless of residence status or ability to pay afterwards.
Hospitals must then take reasonable measures to recover any debt and most have specific managers to do this.
Non-urgent treatment for chargeable overseas visitors is not supposed to go ahead without full payment first.
If you have seen a good tv programme, or perhaps an episode of a drama programme or even a good soap episode, post the link to it here from the relevant channel's watch online site. It might be a good idea to give a description of the programme so others know whether it will interest them. Perhaps give your own personal view on that programme.
Sorry to people outside the UK as the links for our UK tv channels probably will not work outside the UK.
I saw this last night - it was amazing.
Carole King and James Taylor reunited at the intimate Hollywood venue in concert in 2007 to play their era-defining hits, nearly four decades after they first performed at the Troubadour in November 1970, a year before their Tapestry and Sweet Baby James' albums stormed the American charts. King and Taylor are backed by the Section, the same band that propelled those albums into homes around the world.
James Taylor had released his first album on the Beatles' Apple label, Carole King was struggling to forge a new solo career after being one half of Goffin-King, one of the great Brill Building songwriting partnerships of the early 60s. Their musical friendship blossomed with Taylor's support for King and his cover of her song You've Got a Friend. The Troubadour became the centre of a new singer-songwriter culture that also featured the likes of Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and many more.
I wasn't sure how the US was dealing with it. I assumed there may have been pockets - certain states - where political correctness and pandering to the radical Islamists was less allowed - but thanks for letting me know. This whole subject is absolutely sickening.
Choose your new country carefully - not many countries will be exempt from this madness. It seems the US may be safe though! Israel is where I am going to.
I have posted about the growing threat of Islamisation of the UK since I joined CS. The sooner I emigrate from this Godforsaken island the better. Too many politically correct liberals in the UK who are having the wool pulled over their eyes.
