  1. Doesn't surprise me. She'll probably have a wry smile on her face looking down at the irony of people exhibiting nastiness towards a person they believed was nasty. What is it they say about two wrongs...?
  2. I was wondering the same when I saw that Sky Sports 1 & 2 are now listed on the freeview channels list
  3. Wouldn't they enter into constructive conversation rather than resort to violence?
  4. Game re-arranged for Tuesday 1st March 2011 @ 7:45pm
  5. Not sure 'loser' is the most apt description of Britain's most successful post war Prime Minister....
  6. If measured by the same species that invented it in the first place. Not very independent is it? What you need is another species that have an equal intellegence level to that of humans who can then judge how good your scientific theories are. The best you can do at the moment is ask a dolphin.....and what's the porpoise of that?
  7. Science was invented by human beings and thus, by logical extension, is prone to fallibility.
  8. "The Lib Dems will be able to carry out all their policy pledges as a minority partner in a coalition government"
  9. Peaceful protest
  10. Boxing Day
  11. Student debt
  12. "Ooohhhhh, Southampton FC.....are by far the greatest team.....the world has ever seen" Not an oxymoron as such but makes me cringe!
  13. Much as you could rely on someone saying "This is all down to global warming" when we had a few warm summers a few years back.... ;-)
  14. Oops....missed the wink..... ;-)
  15. For the record your honour, my position is not one of denial. I can understand the reason for your false assumption though ;-) My position is thus: I accept that mankind has probably contributed in part to the temperature of your planet. However, my opinion, as a visitor to your planet, is that it doesn't matter in the general scheme of things. In other words, humans will either adapt to the change in temperature or they won't and another more adaptable species will come along and take your place. "Survival of the fittest" I believe one of your kind once called it. That's what I mean by "this is pretty much how the planet has evolved over the last 12 million years or so" So, to recap, there are three opinions up for discussion here: (a) it's happening and it matters (b) it's not happening © it's happening but it doesn't matter in the general scheme of things The sooner you humans accept you are part of nature and not external to nature the better IMHO.
  16. Sorry. I forgot having an alternative view was frowned upon on here. I've had a word with myself and am now happy to report that I will accept that whatever you say and the sources you quote are correct and unchallengeable. I can't say I won't miss debating different opinions but it's much nicer for everyone to agree on everything so it's for the greater good. ;-)
  17. Indeed. Just has it has done over the last 12 million years or so.
  18. What made those who don't want to read Dune's threads come into this one? Wasn't the author and title a bit of a giveaway?

  20. P'yŏngyang ? ;-)
  21. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Boxing+Day Box·ing Day (bksng)n. The first weekday after Christmas, celebrated as a holiday in parts of the British Commonwealth, when Christmas gifts are traditionally given to service workers.
  22. In other words.... Saying to a prospective university student: "you'll be in debt by £30,000 if you go to university" sounds worse than: "you'll be in debt by £780,000 rather than £750,000 if you go to university". One word: perspective
  23. Eh? Aren't we talking about the brightest students here? They really don't understand basic economics? And here was me thinking that Labour had elevated education standards over the last 13 years...
  24. "CONDEM" - hehe, makes me chortle everytime that one.
