I don't... I mean... not wanting to be cruel... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER EYES? WERE THEY DESIGNED BY BETHESDA???

Actually we have a defined written treaty interest. Of long standing. We're not just making this crap up on the fly.

What you're saying to me is that human factors engineers are under-paid.

Firstly, opposed beach landings have not gone away just because John Wayne is dead. Beaches are where countries start, and where countries start wars begin. Secondly, with no unfriendly emphasis, helicopters are a **** of a lot more fragile than any boat. And more expensive. And can't carry as much. And a helicopter pilot costs a lot more money to train and so on and so on.

And after you'd lived there for twenty years?

Couldn't get my preferred takeaway last night so we went to a kebab place. I must be growing up, because I just couldn't finish the damn thing. What I need to do is lay in canned goods to make up good food if same arises again.

Agreed. Plus it gives you the element of surprise. The only thing to avoid with tall girls, is an inferiority complex. Tall women don't hate short men. They just hate short man syndrome. in other Sharapova news, I found this rather tasteful image.

I can't work out how to link to instagram images, so here ya go. http://instagram.com/p/nECbdCSNwN/ Quite surprising. What I found weird is how similar she looks to Bridget Regan (above), without her makeup.

I hope to christ you mean 'sexy'.

Running and falling on scissors is an accident. If someone hands a small kid sharp scissors and tells them to run, that's no longer an accident. The Kremlin have massively escalated this situation by supplying whole convoys of military hardware into the region. Ach, what's the point of arguing this one? Again, we've spent the last twenty years seeking legitimacy and openness in government policy and none of it is any bloody use. We might just as well actually crack on and conspire and whatever...

Meanwhile, reading up on the incident, I notice that far right blogs are all in favour of Putin on this one.

Small city, borderline village. Word travels, have reputation. Indeed. The greatest bass fisherman in Hgornbjornsfjord must set an example with his player status.

Ditto. Sorry to hear that, Woldan.

Feels a bit weird that Richard Nixon's name is on that plaque. Still...

I was about to click 'like' on that butterfly picture, but caught myself in time.

Thinking about it, why is this a bad thing? When you are actually sleeping with her she looks great. When you have to regretfully let go in the morning she looks terrible. Which is exactly when you want her to look terrible. You won't miss her.

Seriously, though, there was one girl I knew there, and I used her to calibrate my level of inebriatedness. She might have also just had a really good day, too. Did she take off her glasses and shake out her hair? Because science has proven that this action makes chicks much hotter.

But isn't that Hamas' objective? This just struck me with tremendous clarity. Hamas are not a democratic institution. They get their legitimacy from the suffering of their own people. ...And all they have to do in order to enjoy that permanently is keep firing rockets. ...Unless I guess Israel called their bluff, by just accepting permanent rocket barrage. But then what nation state is going to live with The Blitz constantly?

Even within those limits the outrage is being applied selectively. Many commentators/ politicians are- within the same broadcast/ speech- complaining that the rebels are leaving bodies to rot and moving the bodies too early and destroying evidence, as if it's possible to put a gigantic chiller over a 9km crash site in an active war zone. Plus of course the international experts (not OSCE, who aren't experts) aren't there yet because Kiev is keeping them in Kiev citing safety concerns, so there's simply no choice other than to either leave the bodies to rot or move them- and either option is viewed as an outrage. Can you frame that perspective in a way that can be falsified? For the record my metric is that if Nationalist Ukrainians were nazis then they'd vote for nazis. They overwhelmingly voted against nazis.

But JFSOCC, sorry to be aggressive about this, but your 'team' are telling me that we're all going to die. That same team is asserting that the rate of change is very rapid, and the efefcts will be felt incredibly quickly. Less than half a generation. Your 'team' tells me that either we all work to fix this or the proverbial does the proverbial. We clearly are not going to all work together to fix this. So what _in your opinion_ happens next?

Meh, I just wish we could come up with a better term than terrorism, it really is terrible- it's something only enemies do, it's ludicrously loaded emotionally and to all practical purposes is often not actually different in anything except for (lesser) scale to tactics that are (or were) regarded as largely legitimate when done by others. Flying jet planes into buildings, sure, that's terrorism. But the people of Guernica, Coventry, Dresden, Pyongyang, Hanoi, Grozny, Fallujah and Aleppo would probably swap Hamas's unreliable low yield 5 rocket per hour over twelve days terrorist barrage for what they got from legitimate actors, in a heart beat. Well, what the Israelis I know point out is that before the barriers went up they were suffering much higher casualties. From people exploding on buses. So the question from their perspective is whether they'd rather get a public frowning, or blown up. I'm not saying it's that simple, but our collective goldfish ****ing approach to foreign policy makes it look that way. I need to reiterate this point: there are lots of tinpot bastard governments who claim their enemies are terrorists when they are just asking for simple things. But equally there are lots of people who claim they are freedom fighters when all they want is blood. Being the little guy doesn't mean you aren't a ****.

And yet you are the one who can't even find a gun in his dreams. I'm not sure what that says about my view of boring situations, Mr Freud. "God, the vicar's conversation is boring! There's no alternative. We've got to f*** our way out of this!"

That's a gag I haven't seen before. Where the guy assumes he has terrifying beer goggles, and ignores a genuinely attractive lady!

the thing is, if it is simple a proof-of-concept prototype for the propulsion system, wouldn't you mention that point? You shouldn't have to point that out. Your objection is technical. But by the same token you should have the education and common sense to go to fourth base in your assessment.

DUH, you do live in GB. Next time try to find a cricket bat, a pint or a chair leg in your dreams. When i dream of ''Shooting my way out'' things don't go after plan either, either its me missing all the times or my guns have reliability issues, guns not sighted in, failure to feeds and so on. Funny, in reality I'm a very good shooter and my guns are 100% reliable, in my dreams I suck. I guess it would probably boring when I could just eliminate all the dangers with the press of a trigger. Would hurt the storyline. It would be like Ellen Ripley having a Minigun in Alien 1. Er... can anyone think of a non-Freudian interpretation please?
