Moon Shadow

Hi, I am quite chubby and want to lose the weight. I've joined a gym (I do Zumba and Body Combat classes) and am being careful to cut down on sugary foods. When I weigh myself I tend to be 54.9 lbs. I'm quite short, my height is 4ft 11inches, and I am female.

I checked on-line and apparently I'm underweight?! I know online sources cannot be trusted so I went on a few more trusty sites like Weight watchers and the NHS, but they all say I'm under.

How is this possible? I'm a UK size 12-14, I'm not thin at all. How can I be catergorised as underweight when I am clearly slightly over-weight?

What can I do, is it safe if I continue to diet and exercise anyway?

I know she stood down from her position, but she is still an MP and still only has to pay a small proportion of the tax money she stole.

She has Cameron's support and will most likely get a new cushy job at a later point anyway, so should she step down as MP?

Should she face criminal charges?

Should she pay back the full amount?

What is your opinion on any of these suggestions?

Is anyone else struggling for who to vote for in 2015?

I feel like the three major parties are all the same: rich Etonian schoolboys who only want to take advantage of us and get rich. Labour and Conservative are very corrupt parties and they seem to treat the whole thing as a joke (i.e. Boris Johnson, some people find him funny, but with the country falling apart and people going without food or heating, I don't want to see a politician acting like a Big Brother contestant.)

Liberal Democrats aren't even worth talking about.

A lot of people are keen on UKIP, but I'm the child of immigrants (dad is from the Republic of Ireland originally, maternal grandfather was from the Caribbean) and pro-gay marriage, so I feel that they do not represent me.

Then there's the parties like the Green party, but I think that would be a wasted vote as they aren't going to get into power.

Anyone else as lost as me? Who are you voting for and why?

How to get rid of a dead spider in my bath plug?

There's a dead spider in my bath. I tried to wash it away but it's so huge it won't go down the plug hole, it's just spread out in it all dead and gross looking :'( Does anyone have any ideas for getting rid of it? I don't have the guts to pick it up (ewwww) all wet and dead, to put it in the bin.

Help?

Both are UK school-based comedies, which one is the best and why?

How do you write the phrase 'we are passed all that' ?

Is it the word 'past' or the word 'passed'?

If you could explain the rule as well that'd be fabulous!

I like stuff like:

The New Normal

Futurama

Sherlock (I know it isn't a comedy as such but I like the humour in it)

30 rock

Death in Paradise

I like comedies that aren't too cynical. I'm ok with stuff like Family Guy, South Park etc but I'm not that interested in it because I don't find the mean spiritedness that amusing.

I do not like comedies like How I met your mother, Friends or The Big Bang.

I like comedies that focus on wit, irony or are a bit clever (i.e. Fraiser, The Critic or Seinfeld.) If not, then I like feel good tv comedies, like The New Normal.

If you can recommend any I might like, I'd be very grateful :)

I like shows like

The Borgias

Teen Wolf (guilty pleasure)

American Horror Story

The New Normal

Sherlock

Wire in the Blood

I like drama that has a full and interesting storyline. I stopped watching shows like Glee and True Blood because I felt like the story lines were too stupid or the characters were inconsistent. I don't like teen melodrama's involving vampires and stuff. I do like historical, dramatic shows or mystery shows- however I finished Lost and was not that impressed and the fans on Game Of Thrones annoyed me too much.

Does anyone know of any drama (or any show in fact) that I might like? I know I'm quite specific, but I'd appreciate your suggestions! :)

The question was "Do you agree with this Sikh ex-British Army officer who says the Woolwich attacks are political and religious?"

Are people offended by the opinion of sikhs, or ex-army officers?

I don't understand why my question was deleted. I didn't swear or put up any hate. So why did someone or some people here report it?

He does not say Islam is to blame.

But he argues that politicians and others in the media keep claiming that the attacks are nothing to do with Islam or events happening around the world.

He argues that we need to stop pretending this is the case, and accept that the war on Iraq has caused a lot of resentment and anger (not enough to justify the attacks) and that if we want to stop terrorism we need to be more up-front about issues of religion and politics even though they are hard topics.

Do you agree or disagree?

Why?

the link to the video is below, I suggest you watch it (I only quickly summarised). The video is a little over 5 mins long.

He tweeted "There is nothing "Allahu Akbar" about killing a British soldier in #Woolwich today. Barbaric. Allah bless the soldier, prayers for family."

Do you agree with this?

Why or why not?

Do you agree with this?

Why or why not?

Have they been informative?

Have they been manipulative?

Have they helped spread fear/hate?

Have they encouraged unity?

What do you think of how papers have reacted and reported the murder in Woolwich?

Why or why not?

His tweet was:

"Yes I'm just as bad as any fundamentalist extremist. Excuse me while I throw acid in a girl's face and cut off someone's head with a machete"

In this video a young woman returns to her town of Luton, where there are protesters chanting slogans such as 'UK burn in hell' and 'British police burn in hell.'

Apparently a Muslim woman had been arrested (sparking the protest.) The young woman says that she thinks it is a minority group and says that the Quran says muslims should respect the law of the land, but she is treated (imo) very rudely.

Is Islamic extremism infiltrating the UK as suggested by the video title?

Is multi-multiculturalism failing?

I am mixed race, and I love how everyone can mix nowadays, but I know many people hate it and would rather us all all separate and for people of my skin tone not live in the UK. What are your thoughts, and why?

Thanks.
