AS mentioned above, I'd stand in a crowded park and shout some names to eliminate any silly ones. Try the ones above and see what response you get from bystanders.

This is the biggest glaring oversight any of the 'truthers' can not explain. For an operation of this magnitude, the ones responsible are going to have to be very clever and trust the thousands of co-conspirators needed to make this all happen, to not spills the beans. The Shrub Administration couldn't have organized a **** up in a brewery however much they'd have liked to have been responsible for this.

Just been listening to his latest cd We Hear You which is satisfying my eardrums nicely. Also Prefuse 73 - Everything She Touched Turned Ampexiam

Hamster you have PM.

'Tis a great card for very cheap. On a side note - have you found a way of playing GTA Chinatown Wars? All the downloads available are incompatible with most of the flashcards. Oh...hope you find a buyer for it. Seriously, anyone with a DS needs this thing. **** easy to use.

Doc? Hope so, we'd murder them.

Easily. I'd fly onto Pisa (Easyjet) and explore Tuscany than go south to Rome.

Yes that happened to me too in a very touristy part of town but not exactly a deal killer. What else happened to you there that makes you hate the place? Just curious. IMO, a cracking place with tons of character and warmth but I did spend many summers of my childhood there.

yeah, I'd take Stern back too.

I thought this way of US TV through the 80s and 90s but there really has been an injection of quality in output over here within the last decade most notably from Showtime and HBO but plenty from terrestrial commercial channels too. However, nothing can compare to the BBC in terms of channel identity and the general broad based appeal it offers and garners respect for. Whilst I agree it has suffered ('dumbing down' in some areas) it remains one of the many things I miss from home and would hate to see it go, even having a much limited access to it from here.

Used '3' for a couple of weeks when I was back over. Cheap enough - 15 pounds for the month service and 10 quid for the dongle purchase. (It costs 40 pounds for the aircards out here per month but they are a lot more reliable) Coverage crapped out every 30 minutes and often had to reboot laptop for it to re-connect. But it did the job pretty well and better than I was expecting after reading all the negativity. Managed to do what was needed (although not tested in Soton) I wouldn't want to rely on it continuously though and for a permanent mainstay connection - no thanks! I'd look into the pricier Vodafone or Virgin options that I believe get better ratings.

Just signed up to that too, cheers mate. Offers stuff that Nova doesn't.

He's Canadian and it's in Toronto. Americans would never act like this. She'd already be dead.

Luke Vibert in his various aliases, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

It's a torrent site dedicated to English TV programmes for download. And after many hits on the F5 key, I have an account again. :cool: (Just got back from England and was kinda missing some of the things I'd been watching over the last few weeks.)

Had not accessed my account for a while so it was deleted. Will not let me create a new account as they are at their max for users currently. Anyone know any tips or advice for how to re-register? Or just a case of randomly keep checking back.

Has anyone seen this French Vincent Cassell two parter gangster epic? Saw signs all over Paris advertising it last week and heard good things about it. Looks to be coming out on DVD in Europe at the end of the year. Edit...just seen the thread below...mods delete if ya like.

It's not just chrnic or degenerative diseased patients that are shafted if you have to change healthcare insurance. Even less serious conditions that you had been covered for before, you will have a very hard time getting new insurance to cover you. This basic fact seems to have alluded those on here making excuses for the US way. The other fact is that whilst it can be argued that costs to those paying for insurance and those being taxed could equate to the same is not really true. Once undergoing US treatment, many plans require a whopping great deductible to be met (in our case $2500 per year, not too bad) before the insurance kicks in. This is after the monthly premiums we pay. Then you can still be liable for 10 or 20% of costs after that. Bear in mind that hospitals, doctors, anesthesiologists, etc, tend to charge from $10Ks to $100Ks for a fairly routine operation with a week's stay. Added to this, as mentioned above, the insurance people will, at any opportunity, attempt to wriggle out of anything they can to lessen their payout to the docs. It's totally ****.

The cobra plan lasts for just 18 months after you leave your employer and is gap insurance until your new employer provides a subsidized rate or if you're lucky as you are Socal, pays entirely for it. As it is an extension of your old plan which you pay for, you are still covered for pre-existing conditions but after that you are on your own. The predicament we face is that once we move out of this state (the sooner the better), my wife would have to change her healthcare provider as it is a Nevada based company. As she has existing conditions, she is facing the prospect of being denied by new carriers. Hopefully by this point, the current administration will have remedied this pitiful retarded scenario for good.

Untrue. If you are self employed or have an employer who don't offer subsidised health insurance you are faced with hundreds of dollars a month to be covered with a very inferior plan where you would still need to meet a 'deductible' for any surgeries (say $2,500). At that point you would be facing 10 or 20% of the inflated costs from there on. It is revolting and even more revolting that the right wing ****pots can even start criticsing socialised healthcare. I don't see how there can be an NHS in America but affordable insurance needs to be offered to ALL and the horrible 'pre-existing conditions' nightmare totally dropped - this is the thing that screws most up over here.

Watch out FC Porto!

This deal (below) seems very good. I will be using it for two weeks in August. It's on a month to month contract. Dongle costs only 10 pounds and then 15 pound for coverage. Can I really just plug this in and get wifi (3 coverage permitting) or are there any other things I should be aware of. I compared this to an offer Orange has but they charge 15 pounds per month plus 29 pounds for the dongle...and it only allows 3gb data usage compared to the 3 deal that offers 15gb. Edit: Is 'Three' as **** as it has been made out to be after doing some research? I don't need it to perform where it has no business to perform (ie Dartmoor), but should it serve it's purpose in a town (namely Wallingford, OX)? I need to order over the weekend so any quick help would be really appreciated. Thanks. http://threestore.three.co.uk/dealsummary.aspx?offercode=1MB5GD003

"...ok buddy, let's dance!"

Blokus right now. Had a blast with Games Workshop Talisman as a kid.
