Of course you realise that at the precise time the French were surrendering, the Russians were allied to the Nazis? Very heroic. Courageous stand there. Clap clap.

There's obviously money in, and a market for, expansions of very new games. But with all this talk about turn based games a thought occurs to me: Would it be possible to make money by developing and releasing an 'expansion' for a very old game, like Baldur's Gate?

Then what the hell are they going to use for the fried chicken?

Considering how many Russians surrendered in the early part of the war I would recommend you shut the hell up about France.

Help the FBI with their cryptanalysis. http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/march...analysis_032911 I figured you goons might have some left field ideas. EDIT: It's just occurred to me that a more useful thing to do if you cracked the code would be to keep it to yourself to encode things you didn't want the FBI to know about!

My hillstomping anthem has become Peaches - F*** the pain away.

Agree with you 100% about the gang influence. I think more needs to be done to isolate and neutralise (not that kind of neutralise) gang leaders. Because one character can drag a whole mob of simple halfwits into crime.

I haven't seen it, but the trailer makes it look just as bad as Independence Day Dicovererd that the pilot episode DVD of Caprica that I bought had a second disc in there with the pilot episode of something called 'Warehouse 13'. Never heard of it before, but looked kind of interesting in a twilight zone and x-files bastard child of way. Independence day is Shakespeare compared to Battle: Los Angeles You mean based on the premise that people can't tell if a person is actually a woman just because she puts on trousers?

Have you tried claiming you are saving up so you can have them all at once?

Interesting case in point. Youths removed from area of event, with trip to seaside, to avoid them joining trouble = cunning = me happy. Youths going on to commit violence anyway = my point.

That sounds ridiculously simplistic, mate. People in power are also people. Or they can be. You don't get shoved in a dishumanising machine when you arrive. Yes, it has weird effects on people, but to assume all power is innately evil robs the good and powerful of support, and excuses the truly evil. So you'll forgive me for not agreeing with you.

Protesters as foreign stooges, eh LoF? You're in good company.

Ah but it's a pun, you see? YOU SEE? DO YOU SEE?

So you don't deny that it makes no sense. yOu merely have some comments from Ghaddafi which suggest he supported the idea? I suppose you're still ignoring your earlier post which analysed the statements by Ghaddafi as a cynical bargaining ploy? Do i really have to look them up or do you have an answer for that too?

Stop posting on the internet and shine my damn shoes.

I find it somewhat ironic that - however cynically - the original 'aim of a certain system was very different cultures living side by side without the one diminishing the other. The word for that system was apartheid. And then what is the alternative? To reduce us all to a uniform grey paste of commercial behaviour and trivial cosmetic pursuits? The lowest common denominators of humanity?

That reminds me. I had a dream two nights ago that Kelly Brooke was so obsessed with me that she had me sent to jail for a crime I didn't commit. But I escaped through my telepathic control of gigantic metal subterranean spider-squids. Seriously. My dreams are better than your dreams.

Mind you, I also think we need to do a lot more to help certain people born in the UK adjust to our lifestyle and values. It seems hypocritical to view it as only an issue for newcomers. What we need is some sort of unifying philosophy, and an organisation to enforce it. I'm thinking perhaps wearing distinctive clothing as a visible sign of commitment to those ideals. It would need to be something visual, but not intrusive A shirt, maybe. In brown.

The kids my friend works with are onliged to attend because they are convicted offenders. He does help people who do change, but he equally laments having to spend vast amounts of time one-on-one with individuals who are completely lost causes when we all know that kids in normal education have to put up with huge class sizes. His assessment was that you could have ten vulnerable but not yet broken kids receiving regular pastoral care for the same price of one kid who's completely mental already. Assuming that metric is true, and even if you allow for the notion that the mentalist can be made better, the numbers just don't add up.

What's startling to me is that I only heard of throium about a fortnight ago. WTF, New Scientist?

LOL. Most people most places are practically identical. So i don't have a problem with immigration as a whole. But I think we handle it very poorly. If you hoover up a thousand people who've lived a life of unremitting tribal warfare in total anarchy, and who believe in the benefits of witch doctors and sacrifice, and deposit them in Surbiton they won't instantly adapt to our lifestyle and values just because they've seen a Gregg's the bakers. Much more needs to be done to help immigrants adjust.

For some people there will drivers to offending. But I would balance the expense of tackling someone who is an offender with the expense of tackling someone who isn't YET an offender. Efforts to rehabilitate offenders - which are often unsuccessful* - cost ten times what it would cost to intervene with vulnerable children. *A friend's husband works specifically with offending youths so I am not just talking out of my arse here.

Well, he did say that it would go that way eventually, in the quote.

Oi! That's, like, racism but for rich people. I was thinking of your average pompus daily mail reader and could help but share the response. Sad thing is I can imagine someone sat eating their eggs on toast round the brekkie table, and reading this, and saying such a thing... I need to get out of Guildford... Badly. I know the kind of thing you mean. I've heard some shocking things come out of mouths you'd think only ate cake.
