I'm guessing you haven't tried that many ciders overall then. May I recommend the following... Addlestones Kingstone Press Aspalls Cornish Rattler Old Rosie And although they are both quite commercially produced, Westons and Thatchers both produce an excellent range of ciders to suit all tastes.

Well the fact that I don't believe Jesus ever even existed, let alone was the son of god and can save me from eternal damnation, is probably a good starting point.

I know someone who can see auras. He is very perceptive and can even tell if someone is sick based just on seeing their aura, and can even make a diagnosis (of sorts). He has been very accurate in the past and I have absolutely no doubt that he is genuine, even though I have an in-built scepticism for these things.

Well yes, but I doubt that would be top of the list of reasons why we would both be among the damned rather than the saved.

Bugger. Me and the GF are supposed to be going to look at a wedding venue this afternoon. Hardly seems worth it now, seeing as we're going to spend the rest of eternity in the burning fires of hell. Should I lie down and put a towel over my head?

I apologise in advance for the sheer level of annoyingness int his bloke's voice, but he makes a very valid point...

err, you do know Fosters originates from Australia don't you dune? And I have to agree with Saintandy666: It tastes like something from the devil's ar$e.

Oh and one more thing... Why do people talk about 'intelligent design', when there is clearly nothing intelligent about it? If god created mankind as we know it today, as opposed to the idea of evolution, then why do we have appendices and why do men have nipples?

If god exists then why doesn't he reveal himself to us? An age old question for which many religious apologists will offer numerous baseless arguments. The Christians would say that he already did reveal himself to us in the form of Jesus. So let's just think about this for a second... We have an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent being who created all things, and he chooses to prove his existence to mankind by taking the form of a man. Yeah, right. The Muslims would argue that god proved his existence in the revelation that he gave to the prophet Mohammed. Again, if we can just dissect this... It is the belief of most Muslims that the Koran is the literal and unalterable word of god, and that it loses all meaning when translated into any language other than Arabic. So why then did he present this revelation to an illiterate who had no means of writing it down, and exclude the large majority of the population of the planet from understanding it? And why do the Koran and the Hadiths bear more than a passing resemblance to all other religious texts which went before them? If god does exist then he's a bit of a git really, because more people throughout the ages have been killed in his name than for any other cause, and he just sits there in the shadows letting it happen. Doesn't sound like an all-loving creator to me. The whole concept of god was dreamed up by people who had zero understanding of how the universe works as a way of explaining the unexplained, and the idea of organised religion was seized upon by those in power as a means to control the populace and maintain the status quo. It has no place in a modern, scientifically enlightened world and I find it amazing that governments around the world still pander to these cults (which is essentially what all religions are).

Yeah I've already got a 'Teach yourself Spanish' package which I'm working through, but I can only do a certain amount per day or it just doesn't go in.

I'm getting a bit bored of listening to music when I'm in the gym or doing long distance journeys in the van, so I want to start listening to audiobooks instead. Where is a good place to download them from and what can you good people recommend?

But at least Button might have had a (admittedly slim) chance of defending the position. As it turned out, Rosberg just drove clean past him and didn't even need to 'put a move' on him in the braking zone. I'm all for introducing anything which will encourage drivers to overtake, but with the new tyre compounds and DRS this year we are seeing huge gulfs in pace between similarly competitive cars at different stages of the race. What fans want to see is drivers going wheel-to-wheel and fighting each other for position, not just gliding past them without any effort.

He may be very mainstream and an obvious choice, but I am surprised that nobody has mentioned John Williams yet. After all, he has been responsible for some of the most memorable movie theme tunes ever composed; notably Star Wars, Jaws, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, ET and Jurassic Park.

Well today I think we saw the downside of the new developments, specifically the DRS. During Button's last stint when his tyres had faded and Rosberg was closing in on him, there was never a shred of doubt that Nico would get past him because all he had to do was activate his DRS in the right place and drive clean past while Button sat and watched, helpless. In previous years under that situation the faster car would be forced to take a risk to try and get past, and it would make for great racing to see if the slower car could defend his position, but what we saw today was just pathetic. Murray Walker used to say "Catching is one thing, but passing is quite another". Sadly this is no longer the case, and it is to the detriment of the sport on the whole IMO.

Yes. He got on the bus instead ;-)

:eek: Incredible. If we can carry that form into next season we will have the league won by Christmas!

I went for this one in the end... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0032W414O/ref=oss_product From all the reviews available it seemed by far the best option for my budget.

I readily admit I am no psychologist, neither do I have any experience in the investigation of child disappearance / abduction cases. However, it has long been my suspicion that there is more to this case than meets the eye. There is just something about the body language of the two of them during their umpteen thousand public 'appeals for information' that doesn't sit right with me and makes me think that they know what actually happened to Maddy but have continued this public 'search' as a way of deflecting any suspicion. For the record, I am not making any unfounded accusations here, but it would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that they used some sedatives to get her to sleep (as has been suggested previously) which inadvertently killed her, and they cooked up the abduction story as a cover. I guess we will never know.

Brilliant work Nigel. The bus rolls on and on. I still find it hard to believe that there were some on here who had written you off before you even had the chance to manage a single game.

Bloomin wonderful. Up up up we go. Thank you League One and goodnight.

Chamboooo!!!!!!!!

******* lovely Mr Connolly! Wouldn't it be sweet if we went on and beat Walsall 17-0 just to rub Huddersfield's noses in it ;-)

Constantine Bay near Padstow. Been there a few times and camped in a local farmer's field. Beautiful place - not touristy and stunning sunsets over the Atlantic.

Technically, we only need to draw the second half ;-)
