Singing Belle from Disneys Beauty and the Beast today! What a wonderful song. I love the way Belle stands apart from her towns folk as they all sing comments about how she's "rather odd" and how "she doesn't quite fit in". Through out the entire song Belle just isn't phased by any of these comments, she carries on being who she is singing to the sheep and rejecting the towns most eligible bachelor - SCANDAL( with as much grace as she can muster).

Beauty and the Beast isn't just a fairytale love story, it tells of courage, of stepping out and sacrificing for someone you love for being unique in who you are and not falling over or giving in at the first sign of peer pressure or opposition. I like the character of Belle her humility, strength and determination are traits that us real life characters should strive for.

The Button pages "Think Car!!"

This very day i had the unfortunate pleasure of almost killing two motorcyclists while on my way

to University. My first reaction was, to my shame - absolute and utter annoyance and outrage. The reasons for my attitude were as follows: on both occasions the motorcyclist was completely ignoring road and safety etiquette!! Going along all will nilly not giving and hoot about anyone else on the road!! I could have killed them and i would have felt utter guilt and wretchedness about taking someones life. This in my view is completely unacceptable. Motor bikes ask us to "Think Bike" and to be constantly aware of them on the road as we travel and this is definitely an idea that Motorist should pay attention and adhere too, but i ALSO think we should have some bright yellow stickers made of our own that say 'THINK CAR". Possibly this will help motorcyclists pay more attention to their fellow road users in future.
