My boyfriend and I saw Paul Rodgers in concert with BB King one time. We had a great time that night.

My a--hole ex shows up, starts ranting and raving at our daughter whom he hasn't seen in three years, tells her to "Get a new father if she doesn't like it", makes her cry and go to a friend's house so now I am stuck alone with this jerk that I am being polite to for the kids' sake.
And he doesn't pay child support, which of course I never bring up to the kids, although they probably have figured it out.
Sorry for the rant, but I just had to get that out ...
No need to apologize. You both deserve better treatment than that.

I don't think he still own it.I saw that house was on sale somewhere on the internet.
As far as I know Jimmy lived in an another house named 'Fen Place Mill' from 2003-2006,but he sold it too in 2007.
As the guitarist of Led Zeppelin, he has built up a £70 million fortune, but it seems Jimmy Page is less talented at making money from property.
The 63-year-old musician is selling his magnificent eight-bedroom country pile, Fen Place Mill, near East Grinstead, West Sussex, for £2.8 million.
It includes two tennis courts, stables and three lakes set in 123 acres.
But given that he bought the house for £2 million four years ago ? since when estate agents say average prices in Sussex have risen by 11 per cent a year ?Page may be angling for a quick sale.
?It should be worth well over £3 million by now,? I am told.

He probably just looks for the right buyer. I would imagine that he likes to move around easily and knowing that the properties are left in good hands.

No Secrets

Over the past 30 years, the standards of our O-Levels and A-Levels (taken at 16 & 18 years respectively) have fallen to such an extent that a modern A-Level is hardly more difficult than an O-Level used to be, with the result that everyone is now getting A-grades. So now they've had to introduce tiers of A-grades.
Maybe it's a response to the local job market. People must be marketable, and to that end they avoid the scarlet letter syndrome. Have you read Nathaniel Hawthorne's book?

he bought it sometime in 1980 and started moving in august 1980 then sold it in 1990 then bought it back again in the mid 90's I believe then sold it yet again sometime later, maybe early - mid 2000's. I'm sure someone on here knows more. I do know he bought it from actor michael cain and this is the house Bonham passed away in.
A little history...
allsaintschurchwindsor.co.uk/pages/history/dedworth_through_the_ages
It is thought that Clewer and Dedworth were originally Saxon villages. They are certainly listed as manors in the Domesday Book of 1086, under the Saxon names of Clivore and Dideorde, when the populations are estimated to have been about 60 and 20 respectively. Both manors were in the Berkshire Hundred of Ripplesmere.Following the Norman Conquest in 1066, the ownership of Clivore had passed from Harold, Earl of Wessex to Ralf, son of Siegfried, whilst Dideorde had passed from Hugh the Chamberlain to Albert of Lotharingia.
About 1070, the high ground of Clivore was taken for the building of Windsor castle. For many centuries the Crown paid rent to the manor of Clewer.
None of the pre - 12th century buildings of Dedworth or Clewer have survived, but at about the year 1100, the nave of St. Andrew's Church in Clewer was built.
Mill House at the end of Mill Lane in Clewer marks the site where a mill stood for over 800 years. It is thought that there was probably a river landing point and a ferry crossing of the Thames nearby.
The corn mill at Clewer was first mentioned in the Domesday Book with a value of 10 shillings and there has been a building on the site ever since. In 1781 the mill burnt down and its machinery, which had been visited by George III as it was so "singular and curious", was destroyed. The mill was rebuilt after the fire and although the water levels were affected following the building of the weirs at Romney and Boveney Locks, Clewer Mill was operational until the late 19th century. In the 1920s Clewer Mill House was the home of a Mrs Moscockle who used to dress like Queen Mary and wave regally to pedestrians from her Rolls-Royce as she was driven around Windsor. -
Strider, you've provided us lucky ones with Pulitzer quality writing. Extreme kudos to your detail, style and delivery. Primo!
MSG and Silver Rider, it's cool you two got to congregate at post concert festivities in Los Angeles at a high rise hotel. I would imagine fine English etiquette intact: Small talk... maybe a little q&a. A Zeppelin t-shirt, an autographed 8x10 photo of the band, maybe some finger sandwiches. And if you were lucky... a little peck on your cheek before you headed toward the elevators to the lobby.
Revision welcome.
Uh, not exactly. I did my best to keep a low profile.

I was always too nervous/excited to eat...and I wouldn't have wanted Robert or Jimmy to walk in and catch me with my mouth full of pancakes.
Haven't heard the names Du-Par's or Ben Franks in years (classic mid century LA space age architecture). I wasn't even thinking about that, only the drive home that morning. And I thought they had already left. It surprised me that they were still there. But they were leaving that morning, just not as soon as I expected.

I am very envious of you! If I could go back that might be my #1 choice.
Peace.
And I went to this one, too. Had a hard time staying home that week, so I gave up and hung out in at the Forum.

Charter schools have similar perameters to work within as the academies you are referencing.
And they are in the news. Some learning takes place on the sidewalk, which at times functions as a classroom, otherwise known as "the debate".

The debate began an hour before Justice Paul G. Feinman of the State Supreme Court opened a hearing on Tuesday on the lawsuit by the United Federation of Teachers against the New York City Department of Education. On the sidewalk outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan, ... -
My elder son is a maths genius. Since Year One, he has been about three years ahead of his classmates' standard. He used to love the subject, but now he hates it. Why? Because his school is unable to give him challenging work. They argue that their budgets have been cut. I argue that it would cost no more if he were given more advanced textbooks to study, instead of him wasting his time doing stuff he knew how to do two years ago. They don't listen - and now it doesn't matter anymore, because he no longer has any interest in the subject.
You're right. They've made cuts. It appears there is a trend for schools to develop academies. You could scope out the academies to see if any of them address the issue of mathematics for advanced learners. But then you also need to evaluate if your child would be happy learning at that institution. So much depends on how the kids react to their new surroundings.
One strategy would be to find an academy that provides instruction in advanced mathematics at your child's level that he could take just a few hours part-time, that would easily fit into his current school schedule, so he would not have to change schools, but be enrolled full-time in his current school and part-time in the advanced academy. You would probably need to get permission from the full-time school if there were any scheduling conflicts. Seeing as he has surpassed their levels in math, they would probably allow him to attend a more suitable course elsewhere and consider the credit to be transferable to their own institution, or at least a better option in lieu of what they can currently offer, in order not to hold him back from his achievement levels.
An academy might offer weekend seminars that would be fun and fit easily into his schedule. Then you would not need to get permission over scheduling issues.
Then there is the cost to consider and whether or not there is an issue of affordability.

My sons are 12 and 14. When I started to read their teachers' comments on their homework many years ago, I was shocked to see that whereas they were criticised for poor handwriting, no attempt whatsoever was made to correct their spelling, and rarely their grammar. When I queried this at
I have consistently received compliments on my handwriting throughout the years. Apparently my teachers did a good job giving me instruction and practice in that area. But I do well at drawing, too.
Maybe they could offer a course in calligraphy to allow the students more practice in developing their handwritten communications.
As for spelling, we frequently had spelling bees.
In regards to grammar, we took turns reading aloud to our class members, so everyone was exposed to the same readings. If the teachers heard any improper grammar, they would explain the difference and the reason for it; for instance, the use of the word ain't. Ain't is an expression that does not utilize proper grammar, but it is commonly used and it's meaning is usually understood. Our teachers loved grammar and carefully explained the structure of sentences. Our assignments included book reviews, essays, poetry and creative writing, and they would patiently note any errors in grammar.

Ah, but our feeling was: what are a couple of encore songs compared to seeing the Zep guys up close, flush with a post-concert high?
Understandably. And even without a ticket, I couldn't go home while Zeppelin was playing a concert. So the Hyatt became a very sensible option. Their coffee shop had great pancakes with maple syrup and that was all I needed.

I went to the concert on June 21, 1977.

Well, of course they are too lewd for their fallen angel souls. That's off the top.
