Nokia N9 Samsung Galaxy iPhone My wife has decided she needs a smart phone but she doesn't know which one is the best for a novice. I have no idea and I like really simple phones I don't need all the extras like e-mail etc etc.

Oh yes I really like him and have been trying to educate some New Zealanders. Snag is they find it very difficult to understand him so I have to translate for them.

The American Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

This is the view of an American lady called Mary Beth Hicks.. However having said that I find it a very interesting view about these protesters. As someone who has had to work dam hard all his life to get where I am now and who was brought up by parents who had sod all when they died, I am starting to get sick to death of people who think the world owes them, IT DOESN'T. Oh yes have I mentioned in the past that my parents both worked a lot harder and longer than me and were supporters of the original Labour Party? Quote:- Call it an occupational hazard, but I can't look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters without thinking, "Who parented these people?" As a culture columnist, I've commented on the social and political ramifications of the "movement" - now known as "OWS" - whose fairyland agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: "Everything for everybody." Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it's clear there are people with serious designs on "transformational" change in America who are using the protesters like bedsprings in a brothel. Yet it's not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question, but rather the fact that I'm the mother of four teens and young adults. There are some crucial life lessons that the protesters' moms clearly have not passed along. Here, then, are five things the OWS protesters' mothers should have taught their children but obviously didn't, so I will: Life isn't fair. The concept of justice - that everyone should be treated fairly - is a worthy and worthwhile moral imperative on which our nation was founded. But justice and economic equality are not the same. Or, as Mick Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want."No matter how you try to "level the playing field," some people have better luck, skills, talents or connections that land them in better places. Some seem to have all the advantages in life but squander them, others play the modest hand they're dealt and make up the difference in hard work and perseverance, and some find jobs on Wall Street and eventually buy houses in the Hamptons. Is it fair? Stupid question. Nothing is "free." Protesting with signs that seek "free" college degrees and "free" health care make you look like idiots, because colleges and hospitals don't operate on rainbows and sunshine. There is no magic money machine to tap for your meandering educational careers and "slow paths" to adulthood, and the 53 percent of taxpaying Americans owe you neither a degree nor an annual physical. While I'm pointing out this obvious fact, here are a few other things that are not free: overtime for police officers and municipal workers, trash hauling, repairs to fixtures and property, condoms, Band-Aids and the food that inexplicably appears on the tables in your makeshift protest kitchens. Real people with real dollars are underwriting your civic temper tantrum. Your word is your bond. When you demonstrate to eliminate student loan debt, you are advocating precisely the lack of integrity you decry in others. Loans are made based on solemn promises to repay them. No one forces you to borrow money; you are free to choose educational pursuits that don't require loans, or to seek technical or vocational training that allows you to support yourself and your ongoing educational goals. Also, for the record, being a college student is not a state of victimization. It's a privilege that billions of young people around the globe would die for - literally. A protest is not a party. On Saturday in New York, while making a mad dash from my cab to the door of my hotel to avoid you, I saw what isn't evident in the newsreel footage of your demonstrations: Most of you are doing this only for attention and fun. Serious people in a sober pursuit of social and political change don't dance jigs down Sixth Avenue like attendees of a Renaissance festival. You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly high and you don't seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant. There are reasons you haven't found jobs. The truth? Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting. Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity isn't a virtue. Occupy reality: Only 4 percent of college graduates are out of work. If you are among that 4 percent, find a mirror and face the problem. It's not them. It's you. Unquote An interesting point of view that I know some on here won't like and will totally reject but I still think it is very well worth posting. .

Cold milk is probably only used because those who live up north can't afford to heat it.

Are you standing in your window with no clothes on then ? .

Looks like it is best to avoid buying a car from Saint_Jonny then http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?33570-I-sold-a-car....advice! .

Probably the best offer they will ever get?

^^^ My answer is yes you are the only one IMHO. In fact seeing as how only one half of the sentence will be actually served I think the term should have been at least double the original when it was handed down.

Many years ago I seem to remember the call - "Bring on the dustbin" - was popular when a player from the other team was injured.

Once a secret project, Google's autonomous vehicles are now out in the open, quite literally, with the company test-driving them on public roads and, on one occasion, even inviting people to ride inside one of the robot cars as it raced around a closed course. Google's fleet of robotic Toyota Priuses has now logged more than 190,000 miles (about 300,000 kilometers), driving in city traffic, busy highways, and mountainous roads with only occasional human intervention. The project is still far from becoming commercially viable, but Google has set up a demonstration system on its campus, using driverless golf carts, which points to how the technology could change transportation even in the near future. http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intelligence/how-google-self-driving-car-works

Sometimes yes but not this time because as I said we don't get them over here.

Actually JackFrost I would call it ( C.H. ) stupidity or delusional rather than mere irony

A man's face has appeared in an ultrasound of a testicle tumour, Canadian urologists claim. G. Gregory Roberts and Naji J. Touma from Ontario's Queen's University discovered the unsettling image of a man with a pained expression on his face while scanning the inflamed testicles of a 45-year-old patient. The pair wrote in peer-reviewed journal Urology they had considered the possibility of the image being a divine sign. But after dismissing a theory it could be a gesture from the Egyptian god of male virility Min, the pair decided it was a "mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation" To see the picture:- http://lifestyle.msn.co.nz/nzmenslifestyle/latestnews/8368917/face-spotted-in-testicle-ultrasound .

A global gambling giant has announced controversial plans for a US$3.8 billion casino and resort complex in Miami that would be bigger than Las Vegas's six major casinos put together. If the Genting Group gets approval to develop the waterfront site it will easily be the world's largest casino. If it gets the green light, Resorts World Miami will include more than 930,000 square metres of multi-use development. More than 74,300 square metres of that would be in the casino that would contain a mind-boggling 8500 pokie machines. But there's a catch. A ban is currently in place in Miami that forbids pokie machines and other forms of gambling on any land not owned by Native American tribes. And Seminole Indian tribe, which has a monopoly with its seven current Florida casinos, is rumoured to have already spent US$140,000 in a bid to prevent the plans being approved. http://nz.totaltravel.yahoo.com/news-opinions/news/a/-/11254804/plans-for-worlds-biggest-casino-a-huge-gamble/ .
