Walsingham

Because a lot of people these days learn American English. I think it's disgraceful that foreigners should learn American English via media saturation and greed rather than the far more honourable method of being trampled by a couple of battalions of drunken scousers.

Good point. I lived in a house with actors and actresses many years ago, and they were ALL wankers.

I think I shall tipex some reference points on it. Like the Q, T, P, and V.

Weirdly I got asked this in the pub last week. The answer I gave then was quite extensive, and s basically self-hypnosis. But there is an easier one. When you feel your attention slipping, and assuming you are at a desk rather than performing oral sex, you should 1. Look at your desk 2. Fix in your mind an image of where everything is on the desk 3. Gently close your eyes, keeping the image 4. Put out your hand, and touch an object 5. You will find your hand instantly connects 6. Now grasp and move that object 7. Repeat the proces for different objects 8. Return to objects you have already moved 9 Keep your eyes closed throughout When you get bored, open your eyes. You will feel incredibly calm and focussed. It's a technique I invented for getting through exams.

MI6 man gets caught selling material to foreigners. I'm not sure what bothers me more. Him doing it, or the ghastly callow look of the bugger.

I think what he's alluding to is the notion that if you live among animals you start sniffing crotch. The reverse is true (usually) of living among very disciplined people. I think.

This is a company owned website, and I'm sure none of us would want to see Obs get shafted because we went too far.

I think it's a tremendous day for art. Because what this says is that it's okay to rape an underage girl up the wazoo provided you make a few movies later. This should do wonders for film making classes worldwide as they get packed out with reieved looking pederasts.

Rotten mood today so am going to stay off the fora. Two work packages not selected. 4 left, so I don't know why I'm so mahdi.

I've downloaded it and couldn't get the thing to run. Something about the .ocx not running. I've checked and it is apparently an activeX control. But I can't see what to do next.

I agreed with the British comentators that Holland was lucky to be playing with 11 men by half time. They could have been down to 9,. I can't remember his name, but as well as de Jong there was that big arrogant bastard kept doing totally unnecessary tackles... To me, anything which happened in the closing minutes pales by comparison.

I can't believe none of you jumped on this like comedy gold. Let's start with intense dumplings. As I have explained elsewhere my keyboard has NO ****ING LETTERS ON IT. I'm doing bloody well, considering.

As a historian I have to regard this the same way a doctor would the untimely ending of a tapewrom.

Leper RPG. You play as a leper, and you have to win before all of you falls off. What? Lepers are misunderstood social outcasts. Surely the teens will love it.

I got used to it. Now most of my games are on steam. It's perfect for when you are too lazy to go to the shops. Plus the sales kick ass royally. And it helps tremendously with team gaming.

I've also set up my 'old' PC on the other side of my desk. Now I really can work on a lot of things at once. *deeply insane cackling*

I don't think its an overblown presumption at all. "There should be a law against it" On reflection it does occur to me that sometimes laws are necessary to deal with extreme cases. Viz excessive noise at night. most people don't do it very often, but the law is neded to deal with persistent extreme cases.

Running late but thought I'd post anyway. Still luxuriating in the speed of my new PC. And equally still freaking out over the Razer Arctosa keyboard which - it turns out - has black on black lettering. Which makes it impossible to do anything except touch type. WHAT KIND OF F***ING **** DESIGN A KEYBOARD WITH NO LETTERS? WHAT KIND OF ****ING **** BUYS ONE????

Changing tack, slightly I think that what we are seeing here is a problem tryhing to be too tactical. The real issue is a flawed notion that simply prohibiting something with law makes it go away. We see it with drugs, we see it with street violence, we see it with prostitution. In each case we are talking about normal urges for human, being expressed in unhealthy ways. I include violence every deliberately because violence is normal, but it is something forumites are less likely to enjoy than drugs. I put it to the board that healthy societies allow for these activities and others, while at the same time tackling their manifestations through societal pressure rather than a man in a blue suit thumping people.

We're not joining you, doofus. You should be bringing people back HERE!

Well, number one, the collapsing faced baby has shot himself.

Gorgon, I did apologise. I don't see any reason to knock my experience of people who toke. On topic, need I point out that sex is known to be involved in all sorts of trouble. But we don't try to ban that.

And you may rest assured I am suitably jealous. My lobster-bellied friend.
