    And plurals are not formed with an apostrophe. But let's not be too fascinating, eh?!

    She wasn't "litterally" (sic) an iron lady. The expression "Iron Lady" is a metaphor.
  3. The air is too thin.
  4. Two major distinctions, though: 1) the major religious traditions of today evolved out of beliefs and events thousands of years ago; scientology was invented by a science fiction writer, and its major dogmas (from what little I've read) read like science fiction; 2) Scientology is clearly a cult that abuses and persecutes those who turn against it - you don't get that behaviour aimed at apostates of most other religions.
  5. Yes, I read that one, too. It gives a good, alternative view of those events. Also worth a read is Beck Weathers' Left for Dead who almost died on that horrendous day.
  6. Agreed. That is a great read.
  7. Very good. Nearer to Rust Never Sleeps - i.e., it's more rock than folk. But it's not a band album. Just Neil on Les Paul guitar mostly (a couple of tunes feature acoustic guitar) with lots of interesting post-production effects applied to the guitar and vocal parts by producer Lanois. Neil doesn't do guitar solos here, as you would expect, but plays rhythm guitar decorated, as I said, with Lanois' electronic effects. No outstanding songs, I think, but it's a solid effort - interesting because of the soundscapes created by Lanois.
  8. 1) tickets for concerts I've been to (going back to the early 70s) 2) vinyl LPs - I have about 900 (started in 1969) 3) CDs - I have about 700 4) DVDs 5) hardcover books My wife hates me collecting things. If she had her way, she would throw all of it away. Wouldn't even try selling them, or giving them away to interested people. No, just toss the lot into a bin (well, several bins!).
  9. I like the reference to citizens. It annoys me when right-wingers refer to citizens constantly as "taxpayers", "consumers", or - God help us! - "customers".
  10. Yes, lots of id issues, plenty of ego issues, but precious little superego, I'm afreud.
  11. Le Noise by Neil Young - the new album, produced by Daniel Lanois.
  12. Sorry to see you go. Best wishes!
  13. The turning point. Great to have Lallana on from the start. A fine team-performance.
  14. Alex Chamberlain.
  15. Crowd very loud! Penalty!!
  16. Bournemouth replace Feeney with Cooper.
  17. Merrington: "Bournemouth have been out-fought, out-played, out-manouvered".
  18. One minute of stoppage time.
  19. Merrington is effusive about Saints' performance so far!
  20. Of course. When in trouble, blame Eric!
  21. Merrington says that Bournemouth is being "stifled" by Saints.
  22. Sorry - that was a response to ericofarabia's question about whether anyone else's Saints Player connection had gone. I clicked "reply" instead of "reply with quote".
  23. Penalty for handball!
