Ergo, the mandate though not explicit, is definitely implied. The flip side of that can be seen in that people are turning away from their local Labour members because of Brown et al, not because their local member was bad.

The later passengers were able to query you and ascertain that you had been waiting for some time, so they would have reasoned that a bus was _probably_ due any minute. You on the other hand knew that you had a 6-9 minute wait because you had seen the previous 214 bus depart. Had you arrived at the stop after the bus departed from view you might have felt less certain that you had a long wait. Thus you were in an ideal position to make the decision on whether to stay or go to the next stop. On the other hand you soon knew with certainty (as did the later passengers) that the bus was long overdue. A close friend of mine has a problem with buses that goes like this. She often takes the bus, and most times it arrives within five minutes. Fairly often, though, she'll see the bus arrive at the stop when she's still too far away to run and catch it, and this distresses her (she'll say "this _always_ happens to me," although of course it really doesn't happen very often). Another problem is when she's waiting at the stand at the bus station. Not every bus that arrives at the stand will take her to her destination, so when the wrong one comes first she again becomes distressed and insists that this _always_ happens to her. I've sorted this out. I know the solution, and that is to redefine the purpose of the stop. A bus stop is a place for reading books and newspapers, and checking an organizer or palm computer or mobile phone if I have one with me. If I have no paraphernalia, then it becomes a place to muse and daydream. Occasionally this leisure time is interrupted by the arrival of the bus, which is inconvenient because I then have to interrupt my leisure. And you know what? This is *always* happening to me.

Dyslexia a 'fiction'? tag:www.alisonw.com,2009-01-16:/id/82//comment_27 2009-01-16T00:00:55+00:00 2009-01-16T00:00:55+00:00 Benjamin Ellis http://redcatco.com/blog What does it affecting 10% of the population make it an unlikely condition? What percentage are left handed? Does that mean left-handedness is a teaching error? Look into the research doing using fMRI techniques on dyslexia. Whilst it might be an individual difference rather than a disorder, there are definite cognitive differences in dyslexics in the area of phonological processing. Ask yourself why Graham Stringer is pushing synthetic phonics and what his agenda is in doing so. His misuse of stats on other nations show an astounding ignorance for how heritability and cognitive functions work, let alone a lack of knowledge on the history and state of literacy. I went to an excellent school, and yet would be classified as dyslexic. Was my school bad? 25% of the sixth form went on to Oxbridge. I was taught via phonics. Stringer really needs to do his homework before he becomes a PR mouth piece for an educational supplier.
