About the warts -
When I was a kid i had warts on my knuckles and a little old lady told me to suck on them, so I happily chewed and sucked them for a few months and they were gone
, never to come back 
Or so i thought...
In the last couple of weeks, due to numerous cuts and burns on my hand and generally being run down, they're back
, so i'm back to the sucking and gnawing. On the plus side, it's a fairly successful substitute for cigarettes 
. And it certainly beats scratching at them, which will just make them worse.good luck
P.S. The scientific reason for this working is that salivary acid breaks down the warts slowly and without undue damage to the tissue around them.

Promise I won't post a caption for this picture in the thread this time.
other than to say that IMHO there is nothing right in this picture at all

I think I'll leave this one for the Central Scrutinizer
, he's sure to know it -
Don't get much time to read fiction these days, but Japer fforde's books (The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, etc.) are woderfully funny, but dangerously addictive.
Still enjoy reading Phillip K. Dick's early books about the nature of reality, humanity and mental health (including several with autistic main characters). The Clans of the Alphane Moon is a must-read.
Recently read a gorgeous book 'The Price of Water in Finisterre' by a norwegian poet whose name i can't remember and doesn't appear to be anywhere on the web
. Now that's obsure! -
So? i don't want to win anything, just hopefully make someone else laugh.
This way those of us who have a different take from BD on what's funny get to read ones which would otherwise be lost to BD's pm. Please don't take ths as criticism, but the way the current system is designed, we only get to read the ones his lordship
rates, and last competition i personally found several posted on the thread to be funnier than the five winners.And when it comes to laughs, the more the merrier

I'll never understand NT's
DH was stressed out and p***ed off, and said as little as possible to your mum. Surely that's a good thing? Rather that than he really said anything rude to her.
And your solution? You can't wait to be rude to his family
As kids we were told "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything."
And surely a massive row includes screaming, shouting, throwing and breaking things and a visit to A&E
. Sounds from here that you're not even speaking to each other As for DH's shopping/social communications problems; has he ever shown signs of AS before?
Hope he apologises in the morning...

My first thought was the same as one of jlp's points - maybe he's not interested in football at all, rather he's trying to pretend to be 'normal'. With all the hype and hoohah around the world cup it's a very brave kid (or adult) who will admit to finding it as interesting as the hexidecimal numbering system for digital colours.
A major part of the WC is the tribalism that is reinforced with it - who's side are you on? As AS is, to a large part, a social communication problem such an obvious social demand ("support our team!") is easy to fake, and being able to reel off the statistics can get you into accepted the group more easily than with most 'hidden' social demands.
Watching the game, however is a waste of two hours that could be spent doing something fun instead.
just a thought

Masking the frustration at school and letting it out at home is, as others have said, a classic presentation. Com was like this until we explained to him that if things were upsetting him at school, then he needed to show it at school or they wouldn't be able to help him. within a few weeks he had turned around completely and was much better at home, while school began to desparately look for help.
Our latest set back is that his new psychiatrist has suggested undiagnosing him because he doesnt like the fact that he has AspergersIf I'm reading this correctly and the psych wants to 'undiagnose' your son because your son doesn't like his diagnosis, this is not only incredibly unprofessional, but please could I have the name and address of the psych? I'd like to have a diagnosis of bird flu, then i'd be more famous than any Big Brother contstant or footballer!

To be honest I don't want to spend time with him if I have to give him ultimatums.Ah yes, I know that one...
He should want to do it not be forced to.I must admit I've been on the other end of that one (to my shame) before now. But I was shown a different perspective and i learnt some useful lessons (and have probably forgotten more
). Remember, men are emotional cripples who have been brought up to believe they (and their needs) have priority. The apalling irony of the situation may not have penetrated that thick masculine skull. Sometimes it just needs a little hint to open their eyes and make them see the truth of the situation.All right, I admit it, that's a cloud-cuckoo land of optimism
, but it beats the 'head down, mouth closed, deal with the daily duties and keep the kids as healthy as possible and one day it'll all be over and you can relax' mindset, cos that really drags after a few years.Or why not take up a hobby to keep your mind off it while the football's on. Something like yodelling or TV repair should do the trick nicely
stay strong

At least women are allowed not to like football. For us there seems to be some NT unwritten law that if you don't like football you're not a 'real' man...
As the Bonzo's (and Stephen Fry) put it:
Sport, Sport, Masculine Sport
Equips a young man for society
Yes, sport turns out a jolly good sort
It?s an odd boy who doesn?t like sport!
And then again there's the Tour de France, 200+ of the fittest men on the planet (fitter by far than footballers) all in multicoloured lycra, mostly filmed from behind at waist level...
Roll on July

Oh viper
<'> I'm probably the last person on the planet to take relationship advice from, but...
What makes me angry is that I asked him last week when the kids were off if he would have the week off to help me but he said he can't just take time off. Well it seems he can if The football is on.Could you not come straight out and point out the discrepancy. And ask which is more important, his kids or the football?
And if it's the kids, would he care to show it by not watching any footie this week, but rather spend some 'quality time' with you and the kids?good luck

First thing to note is that this recipe comes from the Depression, when food was scarce. Which sort of excuses it...
It's a spice cake, though I haven't seen any versions with chocolate in
, but they all contain nuts (and sometimes cherries ) But it does require a pound of sugar to add to all the sugar in the soup For icing, the recommendation is Cream Cheese Icing, but I'd go for something with a bit of colour - a Blue Cheese Icing, maybe or something with chilli in - maybe a Salsa Icing with chunks of various-coloured peppers in

An interesting review from the Radio Times:
The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow
" Horizon returns with an unusually heartwarming film about US animal welfare expert Temple Grandin. She was born autistic (and she's now a highly respected expert on the condition), something she argues gives her a unique feeling for how animals see the world. I've lost count of how many films I've seen about autism, but this one has an edge, largely because Grandin manages to help us imagine what it would feel like to live in autism's alternative reality - always looking for danger, transfixed by details, experiencing sensations with piercing intensity. "Fear is my main emotion," she says. "An awful lot of things I do, I'm just avoiding problems."
My theory, for what it's worth, is that part of the appeal of these autism docs is that many of us like to think we can spot little bits of autistic-type thinking in ourselves (unless that's just me). But here the story goes beyond that to the fascinating story of how Grandin revolutionised the business of slaughter (or "meat solutions", as one contributor's caption has it) by looking at it from the cows' point of view. Like most Horizon films, you could comfortably cut ten minutes without it suffering, but as a human insight into an intriguing branch of science, this is hard to beat."

The changes I'd like to see are still the same as when it stopped being krism- a colour change away from grey and the logo positioned correctly/corrected logo (I sent it to Lufty) instead.
Neither are important as I seem to be the only one bothered by them.

My brother did his A-levels in hospital (glandular fever). They were very nice to him - they set him up in a private room, so he wouldn't be disturbed.
They also left all his revision books on the bedside table!
He did very well indeed!
hope auriel does as well
good luck

If work are complaining, you could offer to bring him in with you.
Hope he gets over it soon.

It looks like we're going to be in the same boat within the next 12 months, and haven't found anywhere yet.
But I can tell you (if mods allow) that we've had to fight the Leeds LEA every step of the way for any help for Com. But then it is one of the flagship privatised LEAs, so no surprise there!
good luck
