Don't get me wrong, Dr Dre is a genius. But not everyone in his stable is his calibre.

I only read one Robert Jordan. I can't recall why i didn't carry on the series. But I do remember it having that odd quality marking a classic.

Really? I figured your mucus membranes would be all moth-eaten.

You won't even slow him down. He's like a gleeful bee.

What does that even mean? Where are you getting your facts from, anyway? We can trade reading lists and first hand sources if you like. I even organised and hosted a mini conference on the region for press and military a couple of years ago. I'm more than happy about comparing notes.

Even though you are being challenged on this very point in another topic you're still pirouetting about sounding off on it! Al Qaeda links are debateable, but there's freaking video footage of Saddam handing out cash prizes to the families of 'Palestinaian' terrorists prior to the invasion!

The Story of the Man who Went out Shooting by the Tigerlillies.

Not always, it depends on as sub-type -the mortality rate ranges from ~40%-~95%-. If you say so. Even 40% is extreme for most diseases. Plus I can't imagine you'd ever be very well again.

I love the Onion.

Don't be ridiculous. Al Qaeda were a powerful legion in the Talib war machine, and a useful source of authority "Look at us, we're part of a global Islamic revolution". But Al Qaeda were not the whole government. Saying so betrays a complete misunderstanding of Afghan power politics. As usual you are painting everything with your 'I've read about this on Wikipedia and in the papers' brush. On the subject of Al Qaeda in Iraq, since their involvement is a legitimate casus belli, http://www.regimeofterror.com/ Goes into quite some detail about Saddam's links to Al Qaeda. I've said efore that I didn't think there were any links, but this site has made me think again.

How the hell am I going to do that? My spectrum 128k caught fire in 1993.

Actually that's kind of a relief. Good job.

The weather today dropped drastically I've been used to having my windows wide open, enjoying the fresh air, but my toes got distinctly frosty so I had to shut the windows and even turn on the heating.

And how!

Surely inaction can be as bad as action?

Acceptable, if you wear an apron.

Just because you don't plan to doesn't mean anything. If you are lazy you wouldn't bother planning.

Bah. People are no better scaremongering about tyranny. It's a balancing act. Anyway, saying it was 100% oil is to ignore the complexities of Blairism, and New Conservatism. Not to mention the change in US Security policy post 9/11. Incidentally, did anyone else notice France ahs suddenly weighed in to the Iranian problem? Looks like Sarkozy is the first gallic politician in 100 years to realise annoying America isn't always a good thing.

Would you chaps settle down. Or become a crime fighting duo? That would be awesome with you two bickering all the time like a married couple.

You mean it's the revenge of the Gods for us klling that cow which had tuberculosis last month?

I dunno, tho. She's pretty mental. Maybe she'll wind up dating him. In fact if I were her agent I'd at least arrange a date. Surefire media coverage.

Now that's a different thing entirely. You don't actually see in full colour until you've seen Africa. The people are tremendously vibrant, and the food and fruit (bushmeat notwithstanding) are bursting with flavour. It's a true adventure. You should consider yourself unfortunate if you DON'T go. Interesting... Anywhere in particular that you recommend? All this stuff about Ebola, Marburg and Elephantitis is really scary though. Well a lot depends on the local conditions. Right now I'd recommend South Africa, leaving out Johannesburg and Durban due to rampant crime. Mozambique is a bit of an undiscovered gem, although landmines can be an issue. Botswana is amazing, but a bit boring unless you can see the beauty in the desert. In general stay clear of North Africa, West Africa, and erm, East Africa.

I don't really know either guy, but I ceased to have any respect for gangsta around 1999. As Ms Dynamite says, they're just killers killing their own; and that's when they're not wankstas.

I think the question should be would you believe him if he said it WASN'T about oil? I suspect the answer to that is that no-one would change their minds. Hence it's not that interesting.

I must not attend class. Classes are the mind killer.
