  1. It wouldn't lose any artistic or aesthetic merit. It might even gain some.
  2. Anyone who thinks planes can fly is a gullible idiot.
  3. That's possible. I just think that solicitors would need to have a damn good look at The Solicitor's Accounts Rules before using their client accounts as a way of shielding money from creditors. I don't expect that is what has happened as all the parties seem quite open about this. It is very odd though. I can't think of why this would be done.
  4. Well I couldn't give a monkey's and I stand by my statement.
  5. Lol - old Freddy was a bit of a character. The Chapter "Why I am so Great" in Ecce Homo! (no twittering at the back) being an example. He was actually suffering from mental health problems in some of his later writings. He's not someone you should read if you're looking for a system but yet he does give you sudden moments of clarity - he has an ability to create some of the most cutting and insightul prose. An absolute genius. I reccommend reading biographical works about him as he is quite fascinating.
  6. Why make the jump from "man's eyes healed, I don't know how" to "man's eyes healed, it must have been the work of some sort of benign deistic/theistic being who has the power to intervene in the universe yet only very rarely does so in arbirtrary circumstances and chooses not to in countless cases of extreme suffering but I think I'll worhsip him and create an entire belief system founded on this event anwyay"?
  7. The Higg's Boson, as postulated, seems to have a rather strange interaction with sapce-time itself (and matter). I've been to CERN. It's nice. No decent flange though.
  8. Haha - good. That'll teach the grasping bint. (No offence if you still have feelings for her, but I'm guessing you don't).
  9. If he says to them "I want to join Southampton, I don't want to play for Preston, it's backwards the club is going nowhere and it's a northern slum" and we offer £1m he will join Saints.
  10. If we offer them £1m they'll probably take it.

    He is too thick for football IMO (and that's saying something).
  12. The fact is, not only do we have better players we are also able to dominate most teams physically. We're still not the quickest team around but blimey, we must be one of the strongest. We are able to pin teams into their own half for long periods and therefore we will eventually score goals at this level whether we play 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 because those teams will crack and we have the quality to punish errors and take chances. The squad still needs a bit of strengthening overall IMO (could we sustain play-off form without one of Lambert, Hammond, Harding, Jaidi, Trottman for a while?) but Pardew has done an exceptional job in a very impressive manner.
  13. Easy! Right, job done. I'm off out!
  14. What an abysmal football match.
  15. Jesus Christ! Paying wages through a solicitor's client account?! That is very odd indeed. I wonder what has happened to cause this to need to be done legitimately? Obviously in this case everything is above board and Fuglers know everything is legit. Usually though, if a client asked a solicitor to pay wages through their client account, most solicitors would be pretty reticent to do so and would start thinking about whether they need to consider various money laundering regulations.
  16. Also, religion's greatest contribution is architecture and art IMO.
  17. I guess there's no need to criticise people if you believe they will be burnt and tortured by some kind of devil chap for all eternity. No need to rub it in.
  18. Don't talk about me behind my back. My "location" is now only occasionally correct (or "wrong" as most people say).
  19. How about using the correct channels and not hassling the man?
  20. Known in the industry as "Harry's Dream". Maybe.
  21. Very good. Cheers - I actually know Roo Bar (it smells funny) so don't know why I didn't think of that. It's shut. See. Cheers all.
  22. ps - This debate is soooo 18th century.
  23. Nineteen, you don't seem to appreciate what Existentialism is in broad terms (or rather you have only encoutered one subset, which is fair enough). It is not an anti-religious philosophy necessarily. Check out some Kierkegaard - a religious existentialist. He is probably at the "opposite" end of the scale to the pugnacious nihilism of a Nietzsche or Sartre. What existentialists tend to have in common is a sense that all value is subjective. You might find this easier to reconcile with a god-concept, than the thiestic hand-me-down system of morality adopted by traditional Western religions. FWIW - I find absolutely no reason to believe in sentient "spiritual" beings of any sort. Just seems the most unlikely explanation for anything to me.
