But that's a goverment politic..... what I mean is that for example in my country we do not have titles, Spanish titles suchs as Conde, Marquez, Don; they were abolished more than 200 years ago, but that doesn't mean there isn't any difference among people, it just means that on paper, we are all the same. On your system, you are not even the same on paper. My parents were about to send me to a boarding school in the U.K, I maybe a very good student, and my english is certainly not as good as required, but I don't think Independent schools cared much. What I hated the most is that when you have too fill a document, the first thing they ask you is Title...... why!? That makes a distintion! We are all suppose to be equal! Now, The Beatles case, or celebrities, that's different. Not rarely, but much celebrities move as much people as The Beartles, and they can be followed by lots of people, but they can be hated or missinterpretated too...... that's a double edge thing... (makes sense?) Ending with the story; I didn't thought I was the "type of girl" for going to a Ladies' College, religious and sort of elitist, were it matters more what you have than who you are....... so, me is looking foward to be a UWC (United World Colleges) Student....... so that's one of the reasons why I ask so many questions...... (that was bad explained)....... it's because , well If you knew them, you would understand! :lol: I can't explain it any better! Sorry! :)

bah! It's not just Athletics....... there is all kind of summer sports! and well, I don't like big cities either, so I go along with you there, thought I've never been in London reall; our capital is bad enough though! :lol: but Manchester is a big, populetd city, how come you hate London?

bah! I always end up talking alone! People rude.... must be a Britonian thing! anyway, Simon or Hicksy , whatever you want to be called, could you skip all the above and give an answer..... Please :)

then this one will be the return of.......(you fill that up!)

:lol: I don't think he cares! He prolly won't even reply! and....... that was mean.... I don't play Handball anymore; the game became too corrupt... like they always said I did faults and staff, and it wasn't true! So I argued to the refereee and they sent me out and me will not play Handball again.... because, prolly I'll do the same again.......... but I play hockey now, for a club, and I'm the goalkeeper! :smug: :lol: It goes in my genes! by the way, I heard London might host the Olimpic games....... excited? :lol: (I know it's a bit TOO early)

I know, but I didn't meant that exactly...... it's like you are but do not post, therefore you are not here! ... see! Yu are even forgetting forgeting the fantastic and very understandable way I write-!

Hi Ian or Bussy.... long time without seeing you here! :lol:

soorry to make a thread for this, don't expect too much I've got a little, simple question......... - have you ever been to Switzerland? (me will asumme you have) and how was it? and how were the Swiss...? and was it the Cancer Trust Concert? Thanks, I just didn't knew who else to ask! :embarrased:

it'll be fine! your last test went fine, didn't it?

ah! Me skiing as ussual.......... after holidays obviously! .... Me is winter, obviously too! :D

But isn't unfair for example that If you are "born a Lord", you have the right to ask for a place is the House of Lords? (it looks pretty funny, them, we see them on the tv) That's a priviledge, and you should get it by your own merits, not because you "are born with it". and I still think it's unfair. Lords will be always a step higer than Sirs, and they will be a step higher than normal people....... don't you, who live with that system, think that?

:lol: ......... I got a cabala though...... never study for a test the night before! .... well acriolly, that's not a cabala, but I always think "on the morning..." plus, I easily understand the things, so....... no, forget that! :lol: me just reads for fun! :D

I don't have any.... but I love Philosophy :nice:

:lol: I didn't do the last part, but I did the first one! so....... I'll aumme what you did was right, indeed......... the first part.... there are 36 sheeps and 5 pens! so... Mr. Peed you are wrong! (7sheep x 5pens) = 35 sheep and one left over (9sheep x 4pens) = 36 one pen left over! that's it! it was okay :D

Your cynical answer sound to be like the serious, but nevermind! Last or alsmot last question about the UK........ why don't you abolish the titles? Like Sir, Lord and so...... it's an archaic idea, it makes distinction among people and they are just useless..... you only get priviledges and pay taxes for that, but you get more priviledges than taxes..... why hasn't a referedum been held? and If there was one, why didn't it "won"?

:lol: I just got to the same conclusion! But then something maked sense, thought I can remember now how it was, but I've got the impression or the "vague idea" that it did!

Sheep Pens In a field a farmer has a number of sheep and a number of sheep pens. If he puts 7 sheep into each pen, one sheep is left over. If he puts 9 sheep into each pen, one pen is left over How many sheep and how many pens are in the field? What difference dows it make anyway * The sum of two numbers is 20 and their difference is 2. What are the numbers? * What would be two numbers be if the difference were 3? * What would the two numbers be if the difference were 4.6? ..... Enjoy! :)

If you're doing -5+-5 that would be like multiplying by 2, not -2. If multiplication is a fast way of adding, then look at multiplying by a negative as a fast way of subtracting. So -5 x-2 is like -5--5. Get it? :) yes! and -5--5 it's 0!!! not +10

from the second paragraph; why that love to the monarchy? It was important, but now it's just a very rich family with political influences........ why still those laws protecting them?

They also use the Serbian Dinar though

ah, and the Kosovo thing! "Currency in Kosovo" In accordance with UNMIK regulation No.1999/4 the Euro (“EUR”) was adopted as one of the official currencies in Kosovo from January 1, 2002. It replaced the German Mark (“DEM”) being then the measurement and reporting currency in the territory of Kosovo. Today, Euro is the most widely used currency in Kosovo. Taken from Banking and Payment authorities of Kosovo

That sounds to me like ironic, but nevermind. I have another question, not a problem, there wasn't any problem really; is it true you don't have like a constitution? Like.... how do I put it, so you don't get all upset..... ah, like things are not writen down, people just know something, and that's not writen on a paper, but everyone respects it...... it was something like that, is it true?

For the subraction, imagine it on a number line. You're at -7, and you want to subtract another -7. If you were just subtracting 7, you'd move "left" on the number line to -14, but since you're subtracting a negative number, you move the opposite direction, back to 0. The same principle applies to the multiplication. I may sound like I'm talking to a baby, but I actually had to explain this to another college-age person a few weeks ago. :stunned: Also, the double-negative thing works too. :P I get the first one, the addind thing, but the multiplying no....... the thing is, I can't find the logic on the rule! i.e : -2 x -5 = 10 The multiplication is suppose to be a fast way of adding, so it would be either -2+-2+-2+-2+-2 or -5+-5. Non of those cases gives you 10, hence I don't see the logic in it!!

Do we? That's the thing, we don't always...for example metric came in, people in this country still rebel about the metric system...you can be put in jail just for displaying your wares at market in imperial (pounds ounces) with no metric equivalents (grams kilos)...The whole question at the moment regarding the EU constitution has been raised in the UK, we want a referendum, because the constitution could lead to power being taken from UK government and placed in the hands of Brussles...where do we then have the power to chose what we want to do? We wouldn't, and that's the point of our rejection. Well, I must say I fid that quite a silly example. I don't see what's the big problem with using the metric system, not because I use it or I find it easier than the imperial system; just because it doesn't change the things. I can tell you that my weight is 450 Newtons or that my mass is 45 kilos, and it won't change me or what I am trying to say. It's just a conversion, but it doesn't change the value/mass, so I really don't see the problem there (apart from the fact that you need to convert most things) Kosovo :) [/i]
