Walsingham

Two things about this. In America medical records are sealed to anyone except the health care provider, and the patient. So if I a woman got knocked up and wanted to hide it, she could pretty easily because of the amount of legal work and force required to get those things open. So it may exist, but it won't be in anyone's hands (if it does get out you can sue the doctors pants off for releasing confidential information and probably defamation of character) I suppose so. But that's a lot of schlepp. I prefer to avoid it coming out in teh first place. Case in point I let slip that I was drinking 40 units of alcohol a week. The doctor looked genuinely pained but dutifully wrote it down. Came back to bit me in the ass, long after I cut it in half. No real way of knowing how the information got out.

Be careful about doctors. The shifty bastards put all kinds of stuff onto databases, and once there it's impossible to remove.

Personally I just get extremely nervous and keep doublechecking that I did it right. Good man!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegal...ar-contest.html I thought I'd post this because the photos are great. But also ebcause they might spark debates in and of themselves. What, if any, are the themes the judges resonded to? Do these themes constitute an agenda?

Just remember this now leaves the way clear for all the other women you will have.

You mean accused.

I'd love to help, but i don't know the answer. Would it help if I told you that flashy stuff rarely comes across well?

if i could travel into the future, i doubt i'd be depressed. That's because you haven't seen the future. I'm officially daring you to use that exact assessment in a departmental brief. Depression due to an enviornmental factor isn't pathological. Or, to put it another way, if stuff sucks, expect to feel bad. Personally, I found sleep is the single best point for intervention. It sounds mad, but before going to sleep try to think about nice things for a bit. Rather than mulling over bad things, burns trauma, ex girlfriends etc. It can be anything, really, from a glass of cool water to a beachball, to the concept of charity. On topic, I had an argument this week with the editor a leading criminal journal, suggesting they should run a pullout section on kittens.

Ah come on. It's got to be a bit interesting.

Jane Austen. And Zombies. http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zomb...t/dp/1594743347 Get this on your school reading lists NOW

Sluggo, about your hands. I think it would suit you if you got a pair of metal guantlets and wore them over your evening dress. Just say it's a skin thing.

If that's true about AIG tehn I'd point out how common it is. Far far FAR too many people take their computer models as gospel, without questioning the assumptions. The insurance losses on Katrina were similar. Everyone was modelling the probability of single system failures, not multiple system failures. It's part of the problem you get when you have very clever mathematicians making models administered by bored pen pushers.

She's a well-trained bodyguard who makes stained glass objet d'art. Impressionistically, imagine an elegant and attractive soap dish, wired to the mains.

He's not THAT bad, surely?

Anyone else cheered by the almost unreported fact that Iraq had a round of entirely peaceful elections last week? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7877203.stm I'm not saying it's all done and dusted, but they've come a hell of a long way.

I still don't understand what is actually wrong with a good old fashioned peasant lynch mob. I'm being serious.

Driving on the right is a holdover from revolutionary France. You weirdos only do it to avoid the guillotine. And what gives with my Nadine Velasquez picture disappearing? It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

I agree that drinking a bit less is a good idea, but other than that I think you're being hard on Shryke. If you ask me (and I know you haven't) I'd say he's just a nice guy who goes out of his way to help people. If he has some cracked friends that's not him falling down, that's him stepping up.

Um. I may have given a false impression. She is still mental. But in a way that doesn't generally impact on me. She scares my best friend witless.

All women are crazy. It's why I like 'em. Steve Irwin had cobras. I have humans who wear pink.

The jury finally have a decision: Gentlemen, I give you the hottest place on Earth.

Finally, we can expect PETA to be eaten. You know how most of our parents were jhoping we;d not turn out homosexual? I'm fine about that, but I worry about my kids being into animal rights.

Drinken win!

I would respectfully suggest that you need to find a new woman who is just as groovy, but less mental. It's a generic solution, but one which rarely fails.

I was about to post a gratuitous picture of some tasteful babeage, but I can't make my mind up about which one.
