Soya

It's a Worcester 28Si II, and although it is off, it is making very loud vibrating noises filling the whole house. I have tried all the technical stuff, such as hitting it, but so far nothing has worked.

Would appreciate any help!

I just saw a nice recipe, where 3 eggs, pasta flour and a dash of olive oil were used to make fresh pasta (Lorraine Pascal). I am a vegan so how can I adapt this recipe bearing in mind how tricky egg substitution is, or do you have another recipe?

Also, I don't have a pasta maker - any tips?

I've asked this before, but it didn't really get any answers, so I'll shorten it. I need:

A kind of 1950'c BBC world service accent

A rough, male cockney accent

An drunken Irish accent!

I'm OK with accents but Irish is really tricky!! D: How can I find recordings or phonetic translations or something? How can I learn them for my play in 5 weeks?!

OK, a few weeks back, I told my 2 best friends that I needed to do something with them over the next 2 Saturdays because my mum was working a full day shift, and I had nothing else to do. Friend A said that she was busy this weekend, but free the one after, so we arranged it that I would see friend B that weekend and friend A the next.

That Friday, I tried to re-clarify the plans with friend B, only to be told that she had to 'move her bed'. She seemed apologetic, but she could have just said no to her mum. I was pissed off, but I didn't want to act too rejected, so I just got a little passive aggressive.

The next Wednesday (after having spent the weekend completely alone) I suggested a plan to friend A, who said that she couldn't do anything, that she was busy with another friend. She seemed less humble, like it was my fault for not reminding her of a plan that she herself had made. Another friend who she rarely sees had asked her to go out, and she had obviously decided to tell me only when I asked, hoping I'd forgotten. I spent that weekend helping my mum's friend clean her fridge.

The day after that (Thursday) was Open evening, and I had signed up to help with friends A and C. Friend C was ill so couldn't make it. We had a plan that I would go to friend C's house (I had kindly written down that she had missed in each of her lessons, as well as what homework was set) then meet them at the high street for food, then go to the open evening. I went back to friend B's house (where we had arranged to meet) and they were not there, so I went to find friends A and B on the high street. When I found friend A, she had changed her mind about the open evening and told another girl to lie that she had a 'family emergency'. I was left to do the evening with this really aggressive girl who I mutually dislike.

After all that rejection from my school friends, I contacted my god-sister (who I had not seen in years) and asked to go out this Saturday (today). We arranged to meet at 2pm round the corner from my house. Friend A asked to go out this and gave me a filthy look when I said that I was busy, despite her having asked me at the last minute, and me having been being rejected for the past month or so. Yesterday, I contacted my god-sister her to remind her of our plans (I have built up so much fear of rejection by now, that I had to remind her). She said that she was grounded and could not make it. I messaged friend A yesterday, to ask if she wanted to do anything. She has not responded, despite being joined at the hip to her phone. I am now sat alone in my pyjamas.

During all of this, I have been asking friend C to do things, who has been constantly busy with family etc. even on Sundays.

I feel like a complete reject. It seems that I am the least important person to those who are my priority. That people can change their mind on me in the blink of an eye on me, knowing full well that I do not hold grudges. Last time I never socialised, I started sliding into depression and I can feel it happening again now. I am now so scared to make plans in case they fall through, and I am once again left alone.

Right then... I'm not sure if it's mine or my mothers because it's at the bottom and ours normally float. It's kind of pale and it's just lying there casually, even after I flush. It just looks at you like "I'm not going down there" and stays there. So... if I don't want to touch it, what should I do? It looks like it's bloody glued on there.

About a year ago or so, I saw the 1st series of a programme on Virgin On Demand. It followed a group of students at a performing arts school. One of the main characters was a shy girl with a somehow disabled mother. There was also a boy, who was annoyed with her optimism or something. I think there was a nerdy character... something to do with college email blind dating where genders were confused... exams... bollywood something. I didn't see much of it but it looked good, kind of like Skins. But I've forgotten what it's called, so has anyone seen it and is it good?

About a month ago, I asked this question http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At... about people touching my hair. The harassment has been the same or worse since then, until my school broke up for the holidays. For over a month, few people have touched my hair and I really don't feel I can face going back to the final and most important year of school, knowing that people are going to carry on with this infuriating behaviour! As I said in the question, I have tried everything (I got very few answers last time, any more answers would be appreciated). I'm not the kind of person to give into treatment like this, but if you were me, you'd understand! I realise I'm rambling again, so my main question is whether I should get it all cut off, or rather, what length would stop this. I have a hairdressers appoinment for Saturday and I'm really considering getting it cut to an inch or so. If you were one of these douches from my school, would an haircut even discourage you? Please answer, ALL helpful answers appreciated!

I am 15 in secondary school in Britain and since I started, the daily hair touching has been getting worse. Literally every day I will have my hair touched 3-12 times per day! Half the time it's those annoying year 9s who, when I turn around, blame each other and laugh. I have tried EVERYTHING to get these annoying (white) people to stop touching my hair! I have tried:

Ignoring it: They touch it more because 'Look, she can't feel it'

Covering it with grease like anti-climb paint: They think I'm gross for putting so much stuff in my hair and wipe it on me, yes, ON ME!

Getting angry: They do it again for a reaction

Staying calm and expressing my emotions logically: They laugh and don't take it seriously

Crying (not intentional): I break down and attack them. They do it again for a reaction

Tying back my hair: It is very thick and gives me a headache, they touch the ponytail. If I take ages greasing it back into a tight bun, I get all of the "You've gone bald" comments and people still touch it

Stabbing them with my locker key: Seems to work but I get a reputation as a violent person which I am not. Also I can stab the wrong person sometimes :S.

Also what can I do to stop people throwing paper airplanes, Bluetake etc into my hair and recommending I straighten it etc.

My fellow afro buddy points out that everyone wants to change the victim, not the actual annoying and stupid people who do this. I realise that this is a a long and badly written message but it's late at night and this is something that really pisses me off! If you have any tried and tested methods that I can do that will not annoy me, please let me know! Also, any people reading this, please don't do this to anyone else's hair because you have no idea how harassing and repetitiive this is for people like me. It does NOT make it any less offensive if you ask first!

If there isn't a way, no need to say. But I would really appreciate a link or something to show which political party is on top at the moment. Thanks
