  1. What's yours ?
  2. A most predictable thread and opening post from the most predictable poster on the forum, and some equally predictable responses, especially from DC luvvies. I thought he did quite well for his first time up, and so did most of the media outlets I've heard reports from. And why does the fact he might have a slight speech impediment preclude him from high office or a bit of respect ?

  8. Try an on-line PSU calculator, ( via GOOGLE ). Allow about 15% over the top for power surges, such as at system power up, and also a small amount for the fact that as components age they tend to draw a bit more power. If you look at a PSU's specification, remember that the total power output is split into several different levels, ( sometimes referred to as 'rails' ), for different parts of your system - pay particular attention to the +12V figures, as that is where most of the key components will draw their power.

    OK then, enlighten us with the true economic and political facts behind the break up of British imperialism. And remember, from late 1951 to 1964 there were Tory Governments in Britain, and WSC was a key proponent of Indian, and hence Pakistani, self determination.

    It should be an infractionable offence to pick at June's grammar and spelling on any post he / she makes after 18:00 - once the chemical infusions kick in he / she has very little control of what his / her typing fingers are doing.

    It was proposed in the Beveredge Report of 1942, and adopted by both Tories & Labour in the 1945 election. As Nye Bevan moved his National Health Service Act through Parliament, the Conservatives opposed it. Another interesting thing in that manifesto, in the light of this thread's initial premise, is that it reminded me that Churchill, that well known leftie, was very much in favour of Indian self government.

    My understanding of history is that the Empire was lost as a consequence of all those TPLACs and Asian dependencies realising that Britain wasn't powerful or rich enough to control them any more. Those damned slitty eyed nipponese blew away the idea of imperialist power and as a consequence India, Pakistan, Burma, Malaya, etc, began to flex their nationalistic muscles. South Africa, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand were already, effectively, beyond our control, and having been bankrupted by standing up to Adolf, and mortgaged to the Yanks, we couldn't afford to continue with the African adventure, nor retain the Caribbean and South American bits and bobs. But hey, why not blame Labour for the invasion of Poland and Pearl Harbour whilst you're at it.
