Snooze

It's a pretty good film - I quite enjoyed it, but it didn't live up to the high expectations that I had from everybody lauding it so.

Get a decent pop shield!

Hmm - looks like the last time I posted a piccy was a couple of years ago, so here's a more recent one. Hopefully, down here on page 40-something it'll go largely unnoticed! That's me in the middle in the black T-shirt at a recent karting outing.

True, true - fear of real repercussions from a law-figure (Judge Dredd, anyone?) could be a satisfactory replacement for religious fairytale goblins as a social control. The difference is that religion used to be the law. Now it isn't, something else is needed - and it's not our current law system.

ENTP - an "Inventor" apparently. 33/38/75/22 Suggested professions are: Jizz mopper Assistant fluffer

Airflights and Kayak are different beasts, tbh. Airflights specialises in charter flights, whereas Kayak does scheduled flights.

Spot on. Much as I dislike the concept of organised religion, I think it's fair to say that it has contributed vastly to the quality of society today (which may be lower than you'd like, but is much, MUCH higher than it could be). I think that it's significantly due to the decline in organised religion in the UK that we are seeing a rapid decline in the quality of society.

Good question. I don't think of myself as a particularly emotional person, and I tend not to "suffer" (?) with grief too much. I also sometime feel that I do not "love" as much as other people seem to (or claim to). Maybe I'm less "human" than most humans? I like being nice to people, though...... I enjoy seeing other people happy.

Heaven would be great, but I gave up hoping that there'd be one a long, long time ago. However, I don't think my lack of hope prevents me from living a rich, fulfilling and "good" (ie. helping my fellow man) life. I don't need the heaven/hell carrot/stick to do this!

Evolution is a fact. However Darwin's, "Survival of the fittest" Theory of Evolution is a bit shaky, as it relies on "random mutations" to provide the evolutionary changes. I believe that many mathematicians have looked at this and actually concluded that it is statistically virtually impossible for evolution to have occurred as documeted (through fossil records, genetic observation, viral adaption) purely through random mutation. The problem is that creationists use the holes in the random mutation theory to denounce evolution as a whole. Personally, I believe random mutation, a la Darwin, plays a part (but a very small one) in evolution, but there is much more to it than that - many species (especially viruses) have demonstrated an actual ability to genetically mutate during their own lifespan to adapt to changing environments. I believe that it is in these sort of mutations that more theories of evolution can be discerned. Of course, I'm a computer programmer, not a biologist, so this is probably all b*llocks!

I think you need to query them on "all sexual orientations" and ask for a full list so you can ensure that you are included, mate!

Not sure the Radiohead thing is relevant - after all, they've made enough money not to have to worry about the next pay cheque, and are established enough to ensure a steady stream of good income through live performances. The music industry is interesting. I quite like the idea that "free" distribution (legal or illegal) of music will reduce, if not eliminate the "money-making middlemen", who are largely responsible for lumbering us with the same dross year upon year, but I'm concerned that if there is no real money to be made, that otherwise good quality music may not get the funding it needs to get made. Whilst most good music is created by people who do it just for the love of it, these people still need to get the bills paid. Surely some alternative form of funding needs to be available for these type of artists, or will music be largely relegated to hobbycraft?

But if we didn't have all these regulations and procedures that need to be defined, proved and then referred to during such incidents, then what would all the lawyers do? They'd be out on the streets, begging for a living. Please, don't make any rash statements until you've fully considered the plight of all the poor, unfortunate lawyers....... It's highly important that we don't continue to waste money on things like hospital care and personal equipment for our soldiers when that funding could so eaily be redirected towards replacing a 2-year-old X5 with a brand-new one on a lawyer's drive somewhere.

Ha! You'd think, wouldn't you! Don't think I even get a sibling discount! He even made a reasonable margin himself when he sourced my Supra and Aristo for me - cheeky beggar!

You can buy direct from Snap On on their website by the looks of it: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/catalog.asp?store=uk

If I did buy Snap On stuff, it would be from my brother (he owns a Snap On franchise in Plymouth)!

Interesting note for those of you without kids: One thing I wasn't prepared for was how many of my own childhood memories would suddenly get triggered having the littl'un around..... he'll suddenly do stuff that just triggers memories that I'd otherwise forgotten.

Looks like a typical office car park round here.

Of course you're not taking into account the huge wads of money that those people with a financial interest in wind farms will be making whether they're ecologically sensible or not...... And I believe there is a general recognition that nuclear power is going to be a no-brainer in the imminent future - why do you think the US is doing their damndest to prevent countries like Iran from processing their own uranium? They can't afford to let people go off building their own nuclear power plants when they should really be licensing the technology from US companies, can they?

Looks okay to me - the actual amount does go up with more kids, it's just the % breakdowns that stay about the same (although the "Other" percentage goes up with more children, which is briefly interesting!).

Yeah - these figures explicitly exclude housing and childcare costs (so that other £500 a week that we're paying out doesn't count - after all, we could just live in the street, couldn't we!).

Maybe she's changed and actually DIDN'T have these qualities when you were with her?

My requirements were: - 1080p (for Blu-Ray and PC usage) - 37-40" size - reasonable SD picture (I state only reasonable, because I knew that a 1080p LCD is about the worst kind of TV you can buy for watching SD TV) - 3 HDMI inputs After a LONG time searching, reading avforums, etc., I have just bought the latest Toshiba model. £600 on play.com. Buy through Quidco and you get 4% or so back (eventually). http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/318/404/-/5320394/Toshiba-Regza-37-37XV503-505DB-HD-1080p-Freeview-Widescreen-LCD-TV/Product.html?searchtype=genre
