3 AnswersLanguages1 year agoHow to get Wagon to safety Zelda Twilight urgent help?
So I know I'm supposed to stick with the wagon & focus on the birds dropping bombs making us go in circles. But whether I use boomerang or arrows it doesn't make any difference cos the bird keeps on moving & don't stay still for 1 sec. I tried locking onto it but when it moves off it doesn't stay locked on it & I end up missing. Meanwhile the wagon keeps burning every sec too & its all very fast paced indeed. It drives me crazy!
Is there a good strategy for it, please someone help.

3 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoHow do I get my money back?
Basically, I started a new bank account so I am new to this. I went to a cash machine and pressed 'Deposit' and it said put it in an envelope and put it in the deposit flap. No envelope came, so I just put my £20 in anyway. I then had to select the amount on screen so I pressed ' Deposit £5' because I didn't want to deposit the whole £20 at once. So I now wanted to withdraw £10 so that I can get some of it back but it simple said that I haven't got enough money in my account!! How will I not have enough money for £10 if i put in £20? It then said that I only have £5 in my account.
So please can someone tell me what happened? Where is the rest of my money gone and how can I get it back?
3 AnswersPersonal Finance8 years agoAm I a Justin Bieber Fan?
I hope not. I am a 17 year old girl and I am just bored and want some cool music to listen to. So I decided lots and lots of JB songs and I always look up news. But I do not follow him on twitter or facebook and I would never ever want to marry him. And do I like him?- I don't hate him, but I don't like him either. I just do this for entertainment not because I like him.
So am I a JB fan or not?
8 AnswersCelebrities8 years agoWhy are there not many Helplines in India?
So I'm a 17 yr old girl and I have live in the UK and I have had a lot of problems with my abusive parents in the past and I found it really helpful to go to websites like Childline. I recently visited India and I found it really disturbing that there are not really any such services in India for anyone not just children, especially women as in India, its looking really bad at the moment. Bcos most people there maybe very scared to pick up the phone so maybe there should be less intimidating ways of getting help like they have in the UK.
I understand that the situation in India is quite different from that in the UK but I still think that there should be new ways for anyone to get help for free no matter if they are very poor or no matter what.
Do you know, if nothing changes, when I'm fully grown up, I want to make a difference myself. I don't know how, by giving money or getting up close and personal or even starting a Helpline myself but I want to do something.
I have been following the news very closely and crying my eyes out about the rape cases and all, its disgusting but I want India to become a nice, loving, happy, safe place to live in. Because I love my India.
1 AnswerCommunity Service8 years agoIs it illegal to make sexist comments in the uk?

3 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoDon't you think that excuses for rape in India are disgusting?
If women look sexy, men will rape- is this what they really think? I think those who say that are filthy, evil forces. Why do they say that? Instead of admitting ' Yes what I did was wrong' even after they have been convicted, answer=because they still enjoyed committing rape and they want to make it legal so that they can do what they like.
How dare rapists blame the victims for their actions? Violence is always, always a choice. Even if they were drunk, the rapists should be punished for not controlling their actions.
Even if a girl dresses very skimpy, at the end of the day it's the rapist's choice to rape. If they won't control themselves ( notice I said won't not can't because there is no can't its always can) , the piece of filth should get public death sentence and other humiliating public corporal punishments. Because, this element of being able to control our actions and words, is one factor that makes us human beings and differentiates us from animals. If they will not treat others like human beings then they themselves will not be treated like human beings. You don't respect me, I don't respect you, its as simple as that.
In the riots on the news, I came across the most powerful, amazing quote I've ever seen in my life in this topic, " You raped her because her clothes provoked you? I should break your face because your stupidity provokes me" Whoever's quote this is, its absolutely amazing because it really hits the nail on the head and smashes such filthy excuses to pieces.
I have been following the news since Dec very closely and I cried my eyes out and prayed a lot and found it nauseating and disgusting that these criminals are getting away with murder. I mean children as young as 5?! Is there any excuse for this at all- no way on this planet!
So don't you think that these excuses are disgusting? Don't you think rapists should not be allowed to say this?

2 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style8 years agoWhich stores in Cardiff that sell Noice Cancelling Earplugs?
Hello, so there is too much noise in my house every night so I can't sleep, I have already told these people but they don't listen. I am looking for ear plugs not big headphones, that cancel out noise completely. It should not just be slightly muffled or anything, it should block out atleast 90% of the noise. So they need to be very effective.
However, they need to be under £10 please, no more than £11.
I can't order online, so are there any stores that sell these in Cardiff City Centre? I have already tried Wilkinsons, Argos, Asda and Tesco's.
So does anyone have any other ideas. I know I have a very thin margin but please bear them in mind when answering my question.
- Block out noise very effectively
- Under £10,
- Physical store (not online) in Cardiff City Centre area
Please someone reply because I am losing so much sleep.
1 AnswerYahoo Shopping8 years agoAre there any hotels in Cardiff City Centre for £16 or under?
I am 17 years old and I'm only looking to stay at a hotel during the day from about 10.00am- 6.00pm.
Any safe, cheap hotels for under £16, it doesn't have to be a proper hotel, just a safe place with no alcohol or anything like that. Also please make sure that these places allow 16-18 year olds.
Because you are allowed to leave home at 16 right? so you must be allowed to stay at a hotel at 17.
1 AnswerCardiff8 years agoDo any parents prefer girls nowadays?
Now, I consider myself to be a feminist and I find it really sad that in the past everyone only wanted a son. Mothers especially said that they find their little boy more 'playful' and 'cuddly' than girls. What rubbish is all this. Obviously this is still happening a lot today in certain parts of the world but I am not talking about that, I am talking about here.
So who prefers a girl nowadays? I am not talking about those people who initially wanted a boy but they got a girl by 'accident' and they started cherishing her anyway. No I am going a step further than that and asking are there any parents who are actually trying for a girl in the first place to the point that they might be slightly disappointed by a boy (but they will obviously love and cherish as their son now) ?
4 AnswersGender & Women's Studies8 years agoWhat was it like meeting Justin Bieber?
Not that I'm a fan myself or that I even wanna meet him but I have started listening to his Believe album and its really good.
So those of you who have had the once in a life time opportunity of meeting the Biebs, what was it like? Was he taller than you expected? Maybe he was shorter than you expected. Some people say he's got a really nice face. What was the experience like? I'm really interested to hear experiences from anyone who's actually met him face to face or maybe indirectly, did you get his t-shirt he threw or maybe he touched your phone you put on stage for that very purpose.
I heard that in concerts he calls a girl on stage while singing Boyfriend and croons to her.
8 AnswersCelebrities8 years agoDoes anyone else feel that Harry Potter helps you deal with difficult times?
I was actually not initially a fan, I was not interested in wands and spells and weird things but recently I have become a number one fan but in a totally different way.
I love Harry Potter, the books and films because I love Harry's way of going through life. As a child he dealt with things that most adults find difficult to deal with. The death of his parents and what's more, the filthy, evil Voldemort wants to kill him too. The world of Harry Potter is very dark and depressing in the sense that the magic in it is not light and happy like Peter Pan 2003 for instance, if anyone's seen it, its like witchcraft and stuff. But this represents the fact that they are all in dark times, very dark times that Harry's destiny is to bring light into their world. J.K Rowling herself said that the main theme of the books is death.
In the beginning we have this innocent, sweet little boy who doesn't know a thing about magic and thinks he's 'Just Harry' but in the end he becomes the most powerful wizard in the world! Yes its true, he gets the Elder wand which he could have done whatever he liked but for a change he wanted to lead a normal life with family and love in it which wouldn't have been possible with such great responsibility as the Elder wand because if it fell into the wrong hands then the whole thing will start all over again. Power itself is not all evil, sure it can be corrupting but its about how its used, for good or for evil.
So Harry does not have an easy life, with all his visions of Voldemort. At the beginning it all makes no sense, Umbridge says " Because you know deep down that you deserve to be punished. Don't you Mr Potter?" meaning that basically she knows that Voldemort is inside Harry and because she is evil she doesn't care that Harry can't help that and he is not Voldemort, he is his own person and a very good one. Imagine, if Harry knew at that point what exactly she meant, he would have been sick on the spot! So that was a blood-curdling thing to say. So this Voldemort is said that he tortures victims and kills them only if they beg him and you've got these horrific dementors. But in the end everything becomes clear to Harry in the end when he is confronted with the whole truth, defeats the evil forces and wins.
It just goes to show that we can overcome anything if we are good and strong and set our minds to it. In the darkest of times, when you are at your lowest, you've just got to remember that the strength is buried deep within you, you've just got to ignite that spark deep within in you. Harry Potter makes me believe, of course as adults we can't re-convince ourselves that fairies exist but we can still, always believe in magic that is, the magic within ourselves and our world.
I can't even describe it all here but I absolutely love Harry Potter and it means a lot to me and the word is 'a lot'. I only became a fan in 2013 really even though I watched and loved the Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix a couple of years back, I only class as a fan of 2013 because I didn't really follow the complex, warped stories that much till now even though I have always loved them.
So for my question does anyone else love Harry Potter for similar reasons and if so can you please share how much it means to you?
8 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoSeverus Snape should have been Harry Potter's father?
I didn't realize until I watched deathly hallows recently that Lily chose Snape's bully instead of Snape when actually he was the one who truly cared for her and James was just shallow, superficial show off that everyone said he is a hero when actually he was a bad man/ boy who bullied everyone.
I am not angry at James though, I am angry at Lily, why on earth would she do that? I am a girl and if I was in that position where there is a guy who truly loves me and is a good man but very unpopular vs a guy who is just so popular, I would definitely chose the unpopular guy because he is my true love. Oh my goodness.
So when Snape says to Harry, " your father was a swine" he was right? At that time Harry didn't know but in Deathly hallows he found out so why didn't he start loving Snape like his father?
