Walsingham

I'll sign up for anything so long as I'm human. I could be a normal Imperial citizen, and get slaughtered by everyone.

Thanks for all the advice. I have put the phone through a wide variety of climates over its life. So it may be some kind of corrosion or something. I think I had better buy some batteries then. What bothers me is how I can buy a battery charging device. As an aside, I know it lasts three days on standby. But sadly merely knowing it is there does not comfort me as much as you might think.

Would he greet us with both hands up in the air? I imagine they would greet you with a great many welcoming gestures.

If any of you would care to express these opinions to an actual French officer I would be more than happy to arrange it.

I think the sexuality and general evil thing is dealt with particularly poorly in D&D. I know I'm a loyalist to GW, but Warhammer fantasy was always far darker and more realistic. Mainly because of the articulation given by the Chaos system.

There's an absolute swathe of stuff could be done. The biggest issue in my opinion is the discrepancy caused by warp travel.

true, on that i agree. however, he is military and his opinion is skewed by perhaps an otherwise harsh sense of discipline. what he's calling a "slap on the wrist" in other (unmentioned) cases, may seem just, or even harsh to civilians. that's all i was getting at, that opinions are just that, particularly absent the rigor required to make such broad statements. DAs probably all (well, most) think we're too soft on crime, defense attorney's probably think we're all too harsh. depends upon your point of view. taks Interesting idea. I can't say without quizzing him again, and that's unlikely.

I don't know that it's fair to entirely blame the conservatives. Scientists can be a lazy bunch. As far as I know ALL neurotransmitters can get wonked by a lack of sleep.

I must offer my apology. i confess I did not bother to look closely at it. Won't happen again.

I'm being a little prejudiced, but the BPost is hardly reknowned for its journalistic integrity.

Just in case you werent joking around, you do indeed use your legs for piloting an aircraft. At the pilots (and copilots) feet are two pedals which are used to control the aircrafts rudder. They also double as the landing gear wheel brakes when taxiing and landing. Unless Mr. Bader was using two peg legs, then its prolly all good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Bader I'd forgotten what a good story this is. I particularly like the way the honourable English abuse the German's honourable ceasefire (while supplying the downed Bader with a replacement leg) to then try and bomb a power station.

It was in Africa. And our cops do carry guns now. Especially in London.

My longest has to the time I spent two and a half weeks in a basement in London playing the Baldur's Gate series through from scratch. I had a lung infection, though, which meant I couldn't move much more than the mouse even if I'd wanted to do something else. Although this may not directly qualify since I did a lot of writing in the journal as well. You'd be maazed how deranged you get when you are partially asphyxiated for that long. While being locked in a basement eating scraps.

A poorly regulated power-crazed security ape abusing their power!? Who would've thunk it?

Transmet really is fantastic. We can ALL be Spider Jerusalem. Although this leaves the question of who will be my filthy assistants. My sig comes from NWN2.

You're plan is clearly science fiction. You should watch Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Sounds good. I've always been a fan of Douglas Bader. Why SHOULD losing both legs stop you flying? It's not as if you're using them.

I don't know about you guys, but the whole reason I gota mobile phone was so that I could be mobile. This means doing work on journeys away from an office/home for over an hour. To provide this capability I purchased a Motorola v3 Razr. This device comes with a subsystem called a 'battery' that stores electrical energy from the mains chemically for release over tim Unfortunately, there seems to have been a breakdown in logic. My phone battery charges in fifteen minutes, "Hurrah!" And discharges in an hour, "Hurroo." Motorola seem to be of the opinion that this is better than my concept of a phone battery that charges over two hours, and discharges over eight. I am quite vexed by this and am considering buying a new phone, and throwing this one through a window belonging to said company. Questions arising: 1) Are all modern phones like this, which assume one dashes from point to point in short bursts? 2) What is the greatest longevity found in a phone? 3) Can I buy some sort of bandolier for mobile phone batteries?

I'll have you know I had not a clue who this mincing fop was, approaching me on that lonely road in the sword coast. All I know was that in an instant I had to kill him. "Oh look at me, I'm a poseur waving a couple of swords around and turning hapless gnolls into smoothies. For my encore I will prance up to some perfect strangers and compress a lifetime of asinine pomposity into a single sentence. Then I will skip off, pausing only to strike a heroic form against the sunset." Like I say, I had to kill him. No-one with that high an opinion of themselves passes my characters by without getting (variously) a dagger in the stomach, a hand grenade down the trousers, and a bat up the nightshirt.

On one occasion I got this fantastic seuqence of photos of a cop coming in from right frame, raising his arm, and blocking the lense. I used the old 'P.J. O'Rourke' to get out of that one. Otherwise known as the "That looks like a really cool gun. Can you tell me about it?" manoeuvre.

Darth, that story rules. Excellent way to twist a bummed situation around.

I think independence day deaths just reinforce the notion that we shouldn't try retaking the colony yet. Shows determination and aggression on your part.

I'll accept it would be stronger if it was backed up with figures. The major may also have been doing some impromptu nationalist tubthumping. However, it's not like I'm just pulling an opinion off a taxi driver. It's this guy's job to know how law is approached in the US military in case a British servicemember falls foul of it.

I agree that our best results will probably occur in prevention. For my money I think that sleep is critical. I actually read a paper on the importance of sleep in adults forming new neurons, which seems to me consistent with staving off dementia. However, even the charity themselves acknowledge that as we live longer we get picked off by different stuff. Really we're never going to be free of something that affects us in old age that is horrific. Having said that, I really am sorry to hear you're having to cope with the problems dementia brings, and your mum is suffering.

Come on guys. How is he supposed to get the message across to anyone that matters without hosting dinners, walking the walk etc. It's nonsense to suggest politicians always have to obey the same restrictions they place on the people. I doubt there's ANY men of his station running a pure green ticket.
