A friday fun test. This maths test can predict your favourite film. Not sure how it works but it does. Mine was Star Wars. Pick a number between 1 and 9. Multiply by 3. Add 3 to that number. Multiply by 3 again. Add the 2 digits together. Now discover your favourite film! 3. Oliver Twist. 4. Star Wars. 5. Forrest Gump. 6. Saving Private Ryan. 7. Jaws. 8. Grease. 9. The Joy of Anal Sex with Male Sheep & Oiled-Up Lady Boys. 10. Mary Poppins

Certainly a nice part of the world there, mate.

Cheers mate. It's very different to what I had in the UK, but it's not really the place for hooligan bikes here, so I went for something a bit more sedate! and, given a lot of the roads here, minor off road capabilities are definitely needed! It's not perfect, but it does what I want most of the time.

Sounds like you're doing your very best to give your daughter the environment that she needs right now. Keep up the sterling work mate. Yeah, schools! My OH's son had a torrid time at school for much the same reasons. He has a few mental health problems, but his school refused to take them into account. He used to get put into isolation for minor misdemeanours, like forgetting his PE kit etc, but on more than one occasion had panic attacks during the isolation and had to get out of there. The school decided that they needed to escalate his punishment, without any thought on the effect this would have on him! My OH went up the school multiple times, only to be met with a stone wall! Since her son left school his mental health has improved immensely! Anyway, vent as often as you want. As @MooN says, most here will be glad to offer whatever encouragement and support they can.

Nice jaunt out on the cycle today. Average speed is pretty low because we stopped off a couple of times and then one of the guys got a puncture. Anyway, the route, the gang (apart from Pascale, who took the photo) and a couple of pics from the ruins of a Roman house we looked at.

The state of that road requires full concentration, Bob!

Shock, horror......I actually got out on the bike this afternoon! Probably need a lie down now!

View across the nature reserve at Vendres from the ruins of a roman villa on my cycle ride this morning.

Yep, as the old adage goes: People promoted to their level of incompetence! Seen it many, many times! The worrying thing is that my eldest works in a pharmacy. The company are looking to cut staff numbers across many stores, but my son says that they already struggle to keep up with issuing prescriptions and administering the flu jabs. The other pharmacies in that area are all in the same boat, or are simply not able to recruit dispensers! Staff are walking out of stores because they can't take the stress! If people can't get their meds because all the pharmacies shut or are so understaffed that they can't cope, what then?

Bucks been on the sauce again!!

Lol. The local bus where I used to live!

Eldest son getting some shit at work, so we've had a couple of chats, mainly for him to vent! His regional manager is being a c*nt! Anyway, it's spurred him on to try to find a better job. Hopefully something will come up soon. Other son is also job hunting at the moment, because he's pretty p*ssed off where he's working too. It's the age old story of people getting promoted beyond their capabilities, as long as they kiss ass to their bosses! In other news, we've booked flights and hotels to visit family for a few days from Boxing day, so hopefully that'll work out OK.

Glad that your day/week has improved, have you packed yet?

I knew he had cancer a few years back, but thought it was gone! That's a real bummer!

Happy birthday mate. I think that everyone is being incredibly cruel.............but maybe liquidise the cake, just in case!
