BubblyIan When parents separate and the 'primary' carer, normally the mother, says bad things about the ex to the child, this is known as Parental Alienation Syndrome. It is a powerful method of trying to turn children against their ex and few courts and experts are...

HOW to detect a LIAR

liisafiat @liisafiat (659) • Latvia 16 Dec 08

People lie. About many things. There are good lies and bad lies. Probably each of us have lied in our lives. To hide something, to protect somebody, to avoid the responsibility. So the question is: HOW TO DETECT A LIAR?...

4 responses

BubblyIan Generally a liar gives away that they are lying by their body language. Liars find it difficult to make eye contact or to stand still when lying. They may also start sweating, scratch their nose or mouth or make some other unconscious gesture. However,...

BubblyIan I don't think movies will teach ou anything real or good about life! They are all exaggeration for fantasy and 'entertainment'. If you are really interested in what is happening in the world, you will need to do your own research on the internet and consider...

How old do you have to be to invest in the london stock exchange?

jozefwozniak @jozefwozniak (107) 16 Dec 08

Im 16, i want to invest in some shares as i have saved £1000, how old do i need to be, and do you know any decent companies to use to buy my shares that can help me build a good portfolio. regards

2 responses

BubblyIan You have to be 18 to own shares in the UK. It is normally a waste of money to pay other people to invest your shares for you. They will charge 5% typically and 80% of the managed funds fail to out-perform the Ft-SE. Your best bet when starting up is to buy...
