Walsingham

As in over my head.

I agree with Hurlshot. This is a serious thing, and if one's responsibility is children's wlefare then it's hard to draw geographical boundaries around it.

I'd suggest going up a level or maybe trying another region first. I recall the Beggar;s Nest being tougher than the others.

The pun is mightier than the sword.

*zzoooooooom!*

Crikey. I had no idea so many people here had experienced it. I suppose now's the wrong time t point out that in medieval times the conclusion would be that a demon had been sitting on you?

Hello Steve! Haven't noticed you in a while. Apologies if I've been ignoring you. I can accept your point about the costs of cleanup. But my point was rather more to do with the infeasibility of using anything else to meet demand. Nuke may well be more expensive per watt, but if there isn't enough room for other types then what can we do?

Given Engalnd obsession with history maybe roast beef should come with a history cookie that tells you about things you didn't know had happened to you.

I vote we all get drunk.

I think it's great that action is being taken. I was fgortunate to go to a school that took a very tough line on bullying, and personally intervened when younger kids were being bullied. Its consequences can be long-term and appalling. If teh internet is the medium so be it. At least a victim may have text they can point at to illustrate their problem.

I think I understand better now. We have a similar issue - I think - in teh Uk with our MP system. I whole-heartedly oppose reform of the UK system for the reason GD mentions.

*sigh* We're not having the fantasy debate again are we? Kaft I swear you were here for the last one.

Then I apologise for the misunderstanding.

Yes but which bits? The most brutish?

Ah. As I recall you and I disagree on the importance of the human race. I consider the survival of the species to be the only ineluctably worthwhile thing a human can pursue. I'm also rather fond of human beings. Whereas my recent impression is that you are not!

It's my experience that those with the greatest faith in science could use more experience of creating it. I'm passionate about the scienntific paradigm, but it doesn't remove the need for morality.

You mean those occasions where global temperatures dropped several degrees, whole harvests failed etc etc? Yes, how unbearably tedious.

I'm enjoying the term 'flabbergasted'.

I'll have you know that you swines have nearly convinced me to play it again Which would be disastrous for my scheduling.

When these things finally are engineered I intend to steal it by use of a large rock.

Her _feet_ ?

I used to be afraid Id throw myself off tall things. So one day I did. Certainly cured that impulse.

Good thinking. I suggest we patent it.

I'm confused. I don't like the electoral college, but how does it link?

Uma Thurman used to be stunning.
