Thank you so much for explaining this to me, I can honestly say I never would have guessed that I really said that I’m careful about what I post. I didn’t, and wouldn’t, say the policy was stupid. Misguided? Yes, incredibly costly? Certainly, just plain wrong? Obviously. But stupid? No . If...

Me too. Sorry, couldnt resist. :D

...5...6...7...8...9...10. Fubar, I quoted tannins post then I said Very true. Which incidentally was one of the strongest motivations behind the appeasement policy followed by Britain and France in the thirtys. Quite how you took this to mean anything about my opinion of the current French...

No. That’s not the point I was trying to make. My point was/is that almost all the viewpoints I've read both here and at SR have fallen within what, for the UK and as far as my experience of the rest of the European press goes, would be considered the mainstream of political thought. True one or...

Just thinking out loud here so its entirely possible(probable?) that I’m talking from an orifice other than the intended, but, Sounds great, only for the top plate I'd be inclined to try two or more thin layers of dissimilar materials clamped together, say a layer of lead so you can get a good...

What Coug said about the diversity, or lack thereof, of viewpoints represented in US media. Not having had much exposure to US media I couldn’t say. But I cant help wondering if any of the primetime news shows or serious newspapers would have regular coverage of as broad a range of opinions as...

Sledgehammer or axe, every time. :wink:

Clocker forgot one " The problem with the French is that they have no word for entrepreneur" G.W. Bush Kind of says all you need to know about his list IMO. Mind you I don't see how can France be better than England when they can't make a proper cup of tea.

Reminds me of a story I read in the back of the new scientist. Seems that somebody saw their neighbour, through the window to his front room, waving a gun around and shouting about how he was gonig to "kill the bitch". So the police got called and a swat team dispatched. When they got through...

Let me, for the sake of argument, and to stop this discussion turning into a rerun of several of the more rancorous threads over at the other place, explain what I mean by the term Liberal Democracy, (henceforth LD),. In the context of this, and any subsequent post’s I make in this thread, but...

Putting on my devils advocate hat. Your absolutely right. Unfortunately if a people rise up in arms against oppression their going to do it against whomsoever they hold, rightly or wrongly, responsible for that oppression. As the US is materially aiding the proper targets of those...

I find myself shocked and delighted to agree with The Giver on this one, there really is a first time for everything. The courts are there to apply the law, not to make it. If, as I believe in this case, that law has sod all to do with justice, it its the duty and responsibility of government to...

its not fracns or francz or even franks its euroz. and apparently contagious :lol:

han solo far more gratifying than it should be 8)

In reading this thread, as is so often the case, I find the hypothetical response forming in my mind bifurcating as the thread frays beyond it’s initial scope. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If the furtherance of these, for all U.S. citizens is not the sine qua non of the U.S...

Wow. thats so weird. So R.Opus is guilty of the murder of R.Opus i.e. suicide. But the attempt would have proved unsuccessful were it not for the intervention of Mr Opus snr. With that intervention I reckon its euthanasisa i.e. assisted suicide. But mainly its just plain weird.

I'd be really leery about doing anything in the analogue domain inside a computer (amps to give you proper speaker posts) at least any analogue I wanted to listen to. For AV what I want is progressive scan capable component I/O and something that will pass a 24/192 data stream(can you hear the...

maybe not with IOS 10.2 but I was thinking more along these lines he he.[/url] should my sig on this post read if it aint broke, it soon will be?

Pretty sure I've got an album called "Damn right I've got the blues" by Buddy Guy, but I think its on cassette :( . If I can find it ( my music collection is of labyrinthesque filing, eclectic, and large enough that I'm reconsidering my opinion that one can never have too much vinyl) I'll try...

The perfect chip; secrets thereof. Its got to be cut from a great big King Edward potato. It’s got to be deep fried, no ovens allowed. Fried, moreover, at between 180 and 190 Celsius in beef dripping, (best veggie alternative I’ve found is ground nut oil). If you don’t get this right then...

If you’re not one of the people who really need the off road capabilities then as far as I can see there are four reasons to buy an suv. 1. The height, relative to everyone else, of the driving position gives you much better visibility. Of course the more suvs there are the less this applies...
