  1. I would agree with most of this, but surely there is no "Meaning of Life" as such. We just exist. We just are in the same way as all living organisms are. Unless you get religion involved the only driving force within us is just to pro-create and prolong the life of our species. Is there a "Meaning of Life" for a zebra or chimp for example or do they just eat, drink and stay alive? The BIG advantage that we have over virtually all other species is that we have advanced far enough that we are able to control and direct ourselves to make the decisions that enable us to "Do something" with our allotted life-span, but I think that that is a different thing to "The Meaning of Life". Interesting discussion though. Certainly a bit more thought provoking than the "What Did You Have for Lunch" thread - although I did contribute to that one as well!;)
  2. Most bosses that I have worked for allow funerals as Compassionate Leave (providing that you don`t take the **** and go to one every week!) and most of the time don`t even ask who the funeral is for.
  3. Dunno about Africa. More likely caught it in Fratton or Copnor or somewhere like that. Any way, serves him right for not having Norton or Macafee. (Other Anti-Virus software is available)
  4. Some years ago, I think it was the Youth team used to come onto the pitch to Aarron Copelands "Fanfare for the Common Man" played by Emerson Lake and Palmer. Seemed to work quite well.
  5. Tuna and Red Onion sandwich with heavily seeded bread (my desk now looks like the bottom of a budgies cage) followed by a banana and 2 clementines.
  6. Heaven Knows I`m Miserable Now - The Smiths??
  7. Sorry, but the title of the thread was there when it was sent to me.
  8. Bloody young whippersnappers!!!
  9. One has a reputation to up hold!
  10. HP WAS a foreigner. Unless you happen to be Belgian.
  11. I apologise profusely! Having never seen it before I thought that it would be of interest to TMS subscribers. I promise to be more alert in future.
  12. Mel Smith!??

  14. Could be even later. The shop on the corner where the old Travel Club used to be is not there. There are cars parked on the site.
  15. Naoko Mori!!

  20. I think you will find that he is not a developer but is involved in tele-communications.
  21. I was there and I believe that the policeman concerned was a well known local character called "Tiny" who was, needless to say, a big guy! Was a classic moment.
  22. Yes! Giving cookies to cows! Disgraceful!!!
  23. Mods. Shouldn`t this sensational news be on a seperate thread??
  24. When I read this first I thought you said Poole Harbour! Phew!
