Labour 63%, Conservative 63%. Either I sit exactly in the middle of the political spectrum, or there is no real difference between the two parties, hmmm.

But again, this is down to where your moral guidelines sit. Now I am with you in that mine sit in the same place, going to prison for kissing in public, ridiculous by my standards. Our beliefs are largely defined by the enviroment/culture in which we grew up. So you think kissing in public is fine but if you move along through to more "intimate" acts there would be a point at which would would draw the line for what is acceptable in public. The only difference in your example is that their line is in a different place, doesn't make them wrong though, just different. edit: just seen your aknowledgement above after posting this, so was probably no need for me to labour the point like this, ah well :-) and yes, obviously I would hope that at some point these cultures will adhere to what I think is acceptable, but I'm not holding my breath.

What I was trying to point out is.... though it's easy to sit up here basking in how civilised we all are and being shocked at such savage cultures, in reality "we" were practising such things just a few generations ago, which is no time at all really.

Jeff Goldblum will be no help now, ever since that nasty incident with the T-Rex. Get with the times.

I imagine that would be up to the families.

To take an isolated case. My cousin is a primary school teacher. They have stopped doing 'nativity' plays for fear of upsetting non-christian parents/pupils. But....As far as he knows, this was not in response to any complaints at all from non-christian parents, but more of a precautionary measure to avoid potential problems. I find it hard to judge, not being particularly religious myself, but it does seem that a lot of the time there is a tendancy to create an issue where there really isn't one.

Whilst to a large extent I agree with the sentiment... we are not as advanced as we like to think. We were still hanging people in this country just 50 years ago. It was only a few hundred years ago we were hanging people for witchcraft. Although that seems like a long time to us, it really isn't in the grand scheme of things.

I believe there is life elsewhere in the universe. I don't believe they are here abducting us.

You mean you didn't have to find out the results whilst you were in Germany? Call yourself a supporter?

He will need to do it over a whole career to be considered up there with the greats, IMO. Awesome at the moment though.

I was always under the impression that the single move rule was more to stop people moving about in the braking zones. Also as Arizona said, Hamilton wasn't blocking Petrov but trying to break the slipstream, which is slightly different. Sensible stewarding I thought, for once.

Any word on Spiderman?

I don't go to any games. I hate football. I don't even know what I'm doing here.

Surely the difference is that Silverspoons was sh*t, whereas Stu appears to have delivered what he promised.

And we would have a monkey-chicken.

Got all but the right back after 3 mins, still stuck on that bastard now though

I did read the whole thing, but I didn't really understand what your point was.

We got lucky in the sense that we we might have ended up with potless chancers or some faceless consortium running the club instead of Liebherr and Cortese....

We will surpass it in the playoff final :-)

Just how I like 'em.

Not sure. According to that site we lost 1-0 to City on 1st May 93. I assume that was last home game of the season.

Just found this site http://www.footymad.net/head-to-head-statistics/?teama=479&teamb=31 So looks like we had Villa last home game in 94 and Man City in 93.. But some of the memories of Villa invading the pitch do ring a bell so this could well be the game I was thinking of and just getting muddled with City the previous season.

I'm assuming you are on a wind up, but will bite anyway. It could so easily have been different, we got lucky.

My mate at work fell for it. When I got in he had sent me an email moaning about it.
