Coloured/dyslexia notepads

Hi, does anyone know of a high-street shop in the UK which would sell pads like this – non-white lined paper? Rymans themselves don't stock them in branches, only online :( Ta! ╟─Treasury Tag►consulate─╢ 11:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pukka have a list of stockists on their website here. Nanonic (talk) 16:53, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See the article Dyslexia if you wonder about a paper merchant who puts a diagnosable neurological condition on their tinted product. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 23:00, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to find an specific car...

I'm sure it is an Honda , but which? , My uncle owned this White and black old Honda ... (model year: 1984 - 1987) The body looked like an 3 door Honda Civic Shuttle '86 , but the rear lights were not the same , Yes they were Square in shape but they were right under the Rear window.

(his car looked excactly the same, but the rear lights were different and the body was larger and like on an Shuttle but 3 door. And the boot-lid was black and the body white like this 1) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3385/3273055976_8ec5fe66b8.jpg It looked excactly the same but the body was bigger and the lights were bigger and more up , and nearer the rear window.

and just to let you know it was an HONDA. It was NOT the normal shuttle. It was 3 door. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.220.41.143 (talk) 16:18, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like the Accord hatchback? Or the Prelude? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 16:24, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, sorry neither of these, It looked the most like an Civic and could be! , But Ive checked and I found no civic's that looked like it Except the Old hatchback version and the 'shuttle'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.220.41.143 (talk) 16:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it was customized? Kingsfold (talk) 19:39, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope , But I found out , It was an old Civic , but no Civic I've ever seen again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.220.41.143 (talk) 08:56, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did anyone ever take a picture of that car, i.e. could it be posted here? As one who used to drive a Honda, I'm curious. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Aerodek' ?--85.210.188.64 (talk) 22:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

??? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:04, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, 'Aerodeck" I've had four of them so should know how to spell it!--85.210.188.64 (talk) 00:15, 25 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I concur. Looks like a Civic Aerodeck to me. However, the angle the photo's taken from is a little strange. But the Aerodeck seems the most likely candidate. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:17, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In terms of the way I think, I've met guys who are really on my wavelength, but few women

I am straight and do not find men sexually attractive, but there have been more guys that have fitted my personality type, some enough to the extent that I wish they were female so I could have sex with them, and few women have really clicked it off with me. But one did. But I broke up with her. What gives? What is the problem?--Jeremy of the Grapevine (talk) 23:57, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't really the place to get relationship advice. The reference desks generally do a good job of providing links to articles where you can answer factual questions. Questions on what is going on in your personal life are best suited for other venues. --Jayron32 00:49, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The original poster seems to be stating that he has found some men to be sexually attractive, and wishes they had different underpinnings to allow coitus of the ordinary sort. He says he had a relationship with one female. He asks "What gives?" and "What is the problem?" This is an encyclopedia. The article Bisexuality might be helpful. Edison (talk) 06:18, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The OP clearly does not mean sexually attractive. [Picture of Edison's brain] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.44.221.221 (talk) 01:51, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Unless you find a pretty on point article I'm going to side with Jayron. There are plenty of discussion groups. In fact, this question could be asked a dozen different ways that would be answered here in earnest. But how it's asked now isn't especially insightful. Shadowjams (talk) 10:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it's a real problem. As Professor Higgins said:

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

Men are so honest, so thoroughly square;

Eternally noble, historic'ly fair;

Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat.

Well, why can't a woman be like that?

The OP is asking a question that, while not exactly medical, would probably be better suited for a professional counselor of some kind. Since no one here knows the OP, the answer to "What is the problem?" is not knowable by anyone here. 14:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
