Ladies/Gents, This is the EDEXCEL syllabus. http://www.edexcel.com/migrationdocuments/GCSE%20New%20GCSE/GCSE%20Arabic%20spec%20060112.pdf It is quite useful for the core vocabulary and grammar concepts for GCSE Arabic. You ladies/gents are probably going to get caught in that trap that you...

I'm hoping that the injection has hit a section of inflamation. The prolapse is actually reducing, so I am told. If it has hit the inflammation, that is apparently what is causing the nerve pain. So, hopefully if it shrinks that then it should remove the pain. Oh, and Annie-I was never really...

Greatful for the tips. I eneded up with a epidural injection into my very lower back (you don't want a needle going through there!) It's worked on the siatic pain, but now I just want to get back to match fit. I am up and walking about, which is about it. I do hope that it is the start of...

Not having a go Max, but I and a lot of other cops have eneded up with the standards department wrecking our lives for much less than that in much more normal circumstances. But it seems for sportsday their has been a dispensation to wave the normal rules of accountability. I noticed that...

Love the immediate action drill. BBC News - Olympic torch tackle man near Land's End Now that it seems was a local man (apparently holding a camera). Can't wait to see what happens for something a bit more serious. However, it's OK to treat people like that now....? We've lost our...

I've been trying to man up, which may have increased the problem! Anymore and I think my wife will slit my throat in the night and ease my problems. I belive I have been sent to a neuro surgeon, appointment to come later for their advice and opinion on what is to be done. Though the...

I saw Mr Pickles talking about that and he was trying to salvage someone by saying we should all work harder. I'm afraid my first thought was that if MP's worked harder, they'd just claim more expenses. Unfair perhaps.

Thanks Kestrel. I have intermittent problem in urinating, and sadly too much sensation in my legs and feet. I take on-board mts's points (most wise I think), and I'm a bit worried about the idea of surgery too. Sadly this has prolapsed out in nerves, and is not responding to a epidural...

Has anyone on the forum had the pleasure of this little problem? One of mine at a lower region of the back has properly gone and requires a discectomy, which I am cheerfully looking forward to. If anyone has a success story of recovery from this and in particular a good exercise regime to...

I think this is most wise set of comments. Training reinforces your ability to carry on. For example, I am nearly phobic of needles (I think it is related to a rather nasty incident with a cottonmouth snake, and I also hate those little buggers in general too). But I can cope with the sight...

Well, may I offer a bit of advice to differ with my colleague. And perhaps try to ease some trouble, with some points for thought. Take or leave it as you wish. Yes, you have to use force now and again as a police officer. Preferrably on the most favourable terms for you (both at the time in...

That fellah gets off about ten shots. I suppose in the usa he is now LWPOP (life without possiblity of parole). Sadly in the UK I would imagine we'd do well to prosecute for attempt murder. Impressive level of firepower in the first response, aside from the belt order weapons one bloke has a...

Or crack the camera first.....

I do. What happens when the intelligence bureau is run not by experienced cops but by private contractors? We've only recently had the problems of private security and police in the surveillance of ecological protest groups, and allegedly information being passed from one to the other. Not for...

Supposedly an old Arabic saying; He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him. He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is simple. Teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him. He who knows, and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him.

I wouldn't worry about that mate. We had some fairly good riots here in the UK last year, and the enquiries into how they were handled is coming out. One of the little gems is this; The Met's [London Metropolitan Police] strategic review into its handling of the riots reveals that commanders...

I dare say that had John Walker Lindh wouild have been killed had events gone differently. (the American Taliban captured in nQala-i-Jangi fort in Afghanistan, the one where during the riot CIA officer Johnny Spann was killed) I suppose it is the difference between a planned killing with a...

I have no inside knowledge of the event. To me it smacks of a Key Leader Engagement, which was escalated by media to a good story. But quiet preparation never sold a newspaper really, did it!

Well, for example- Marines in daring amphibious raid in Somalia - Telegraph Doesn't actually read like they seized the tribal leader. He was picked up, taken to a nearby frigate for discussions with FCO representatives and presumbly taken back.

Well, yeah that's why the sentencing principle is that you get more for handling stolen goods than the actual theft or burglary. Never failed to make me chuckle when suspects rowed themselves out of theft charges by talking themselves into handling charges. Their solicitor normally rolled...
