"What about Obama?"That's what my friend said to me in Spring 2004 when he asked who I was supporting in that year's senatorial primary race. Ironically, at that time my brother-in-law worked for a woman who had thrown her hat in the ring as a...
I have started formal [actually not so formal except for time and place] lessons in the Polish Language. My Polish dreams continue, and some of my Polish friendships have matured in to exactly what great friendship is all about. ATB from George
George O'Dowd doesn't get any more sensible as he gets older and settles into a life of pipe and slippers (with a sniff of coke and a little leather number) A quiet night in by the fire
Top news story at the moment is one that is somewhat surprising (to me anyway!). I didn't realise that pirates existed any longer, at least not on any traditional scale.Anyway it got me thinking, what does a modern pirate look like? Is the peg leg,...
Holy f*cking shit.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/7751160.stmStill going on. Absolutely surreal stuff
I spotted a a rather nice looking olive set-up in a Barbican Estate flat featured in an architecture book. Just wondered if the flat owner is a forum member?Hope this isn't an impertinent question!
I can see this turning into even more of a lottery than ever. If the problem is that the pole-sitter is just the lighter car, why not let the top ten cars in Q3 start the race on whatever fuel load they want?Tony

Hi,I am sure many of you have had this occur, but it's a first for me, a couple of friends were visiting and we were listening to some music, the conversation went something like this ....Friend - thats a nice sounding system what is it?Me -...
Hi,I had to ask this question as well as I am curious what latest knowledge tells us about why humans have evolved with a taste for music.Some of you on this forum probably know quite well that I am very materialist in my explanations i.e. I do not...
How many of us will be using the VAT cut (if it's confirmed tomorrow) as an excuse for some new purchases? I am after a powerline- surely Mrs Harty will think I'm mad if I don't take the chance to save a massive £9.87!!
Hello,I am about to spend a month in London, so any tip would be greatly appreciated, especially in the areas of insurance, hidden costs, etc.Since I am traveling alone so I am not interested in high-end, expensive car. A compact will do.Thanks a lot...
As I'm not visiting with Adam (see System Pics 2008) I'd thought I would annoy him another way by ask several new questions.I installed a 1 Tb Time capsule yesterday as an extra on my existing HomeHub set-up. It's almost 22 hours since and it still...
I've been trying to resist the purchase of an mp3 player to use with i-Tunes for a while, but am weakening.A 16GB Nano appeals, as I only want to play music. A friend tells me that the i-Touch has better sound quality, but I simply don't want or need...
There you go, what word do you have as a favourite?I'll start with:megalomaniacalJon
Just asked for a quote to replace my two old fuse boxes with MCB's and replace 9x ceiling roses. From what I gather the two MCB's will cost around £60 each and take less than two hours each to change but I've just been quoted £630 for the...
I am not normally Mr/Mrs offended of Tunbridge Wells.But during the first programme of the new series of 'Top Gear' on 2nd November, my ears really did twitch a bit when Jeremy Clarkson called Richard Hammond a 'pikey' (for our overseas readers, a...
Clever Pingu!
Just wandering around The Wash on Google Earth when I stumbled on a large crater at 52 degrees 50'30.99"N 0 degrees 14'36.04"E.Does anyone have any ideas? I did go to the range at RAF Holbeach back in the '80s to erm, dispose of some out of date...
We as a family have finally decided to get a puppy Schnauzer dog mainly for my daughter as shes wanted one for years....so the time is right at the moment to go ahead and wondered if there were any Schnauzer owners out there who could give sensible...
Wot is this great nation of ours coming to?I have been rather enjoying that (slightly) mature bit of thinking man's crumpet Cherie Lunghi on a regular basis for the last couple of months or so. And now she's been voted off, leaving John Sargeant to...
Last night on PBS Masterpiece Contemporary had this on about Mrs Whitehouse's campaign, It was the best TV show I"ve seen in a long time, and next week it's Alistair Cooks bio and home films. Can't miss that.
Just saw this . Loved it, and thought it an important movie. I have never laughed so hard out loud in a movie, yet thought that message is as important as can be. However, I think that perhaps it was (dare I say it) "preaching to the...
