Bravo Mr. Speedingfine. Fair play indeed. “So I put my tent and tools under the bonnet next to the ECU”

Ste - out of interest, will it be necessary to return the car to standard come resale given its rarity ? Possibly to get the best price yeah, or someone may just like it as it is once I’ve ‘finished’ and pay a bit more for one with nice bits. Have no current plans to sell it though, I’ve hardly dri...

UPDATE Caterham Superlight R I popped over to Dartford earlier to see TSK and the car has now started to be stripped and have the small defects rectified. Tony reckons it will be fully painted by the end of next week. http://stenelson.co.uk/caterham/stripped01.jpg http://stenelson.co.uk/caterham/st...

Selling one of my bicycle frames:

Happy to do a deal if someone wants it. Have stem, bars, seatpost, various saddles, Wheels Mfg PF30 BB and other bits that I could include as part of a deal.

I do find the general uproar at this stuff amusing. Like the sweethearts who were surprised that their data had been raped by Facebook.

It’s a fair shout. I thought I was an agnostic for a while now I’m not so sure.

Which OS?

They certainy can. Their contract will allow them to do so. Ours had its fair share of interesting individuals that were on the receiving end of an expulsion

Same at my school, but they won't have been expelled, they are 'asked to leave'.

There’s a CoE school a few minutes from my flat but I reckon 50% of the pupils must be Muslim which I’ve always found a bit odd. I guess they’ve all attended church for a bit to just get into the selection criteria? Genuinely have no idea how it works! If only it was spelt out, in detail, numerous ...

OK, I'm going to try one more time. What if we were talking about healthcare instead of education? Would it be acceptable to you that 50% of hospitals took public funding, but were only willing to treat patients of a particular faith? Would it be acceptable to insist that patients treated at those ...

Nobody in this country is made to go to a church school. Everyone is there by choice or due to apathy. Only a few years ago, the choices in my catchment area were catholic school or CoS school. So, really my choices were pick a side or be excluded from mainstream education. Now, the CoS school is o...

We have representation on the school governing board by the church. I recently insisted that they amend some school survey to offer 'no religion' as an option amongst the various religions they listed. Genuinely, some grown adults from the church didn't understand this. Surely you're one religion or...

Also remember, whether you like it or not, we are a christian society. No we are not. We are a primarily faithless society (53% self-identify as having "no religion"). Anglicanism makes up 3%. Semantics. We are a society founded on christianity. The fact that most don't identify as or pra...

I haven't even stated my religious leanings - other than your knowledge from previous discussions how do you know I'm advocating atheism?. Schools are for education, publicly funded and compulsory. Churches are for religion (if that's your bag), are privately funded and voluntary. Don't get the two...

Also remember, whether you like it or not, we are a christian society. My secondary school wasn't a church school but it was based on the moral framework which the whole country operates within and just happens to be based on christianity. Despite not being a church school we still had an assembly a...

Neil, loads of what you assume happens just doesn't and isn't happening. Symbolism, yes. But every school has a school crest and moto, ban those too. Yes it's a tribe, they have their own shit logo, but that's how they brand themselves and you can take it or leave it. As i say, the government can't ...

But to be clear, if the god squad didn't put money into those schools they wouldn't be there. The governement can't afford to build new schools. Where are those kids going to be schooled? Campaign that it's wrong, but if you or I were paying for a school to exist we'd probably stipulate criteria by ...

Depends. The school will have an admissions policy. Essentially it depends how oversubscribed it is and what the ranking order of admissions criteria are. At the top, the governement insist that children at risk, or who are statemented have priority. A faith school of any kind can then stipulate tha...

Indeed, that's why I wrote primary school.

RE is compulsory at every primary school, it's part of the national curriculum.
