Heartland

But this points to my earlier point of monarchy being the only really acceptable system

I thought you were joking...

- Danes live in a monarchy, and yet are some of the happiest people in the world.

Do you have any evidence for that? The suicide rate is 18% higher for Denmark than the USA.

The bit I have the issue with is the US' claim to "export democracy" when they don't have any of their own. I would dispute that. The government of the USA is a *form* of democracy, and it works pretty well. There is also pure democracy in the form of states propositions. But ultimately t...

As told to me by somebody 'who was there'... The beginning of the end started after Body and Soul. Nobody was happy with the single, and in oder to get the success they wanted, and through fear of being dropped by WEA, Andy was to take a back seat to writing the music and production, which was to al...

Ah, the classic great misunderstandings about the world's greatest country.... The USA is a Federal Republic, not a Democracy. Think of it as Democracy being the ideal, Republicanism being the practicality. The electoral college, by and large, is mandated by law (state law) to follow the votes of th...

1, Thompson Twins - We Are Detective

2, Thompson Twins!

3, Yeah occasionally... I think they're a much underated band from the 80s, especially the remixes and instrumentals. I've had people say "wow, what's this?" in the car, and they're all embarassed when I tell 'em

how's about one line from one song? :lol: 1. Are you male or female? man 2. Describe yourself: star 3. How do your friends feel about you? dog man star 4. Who do you want to be? star 5. Describe your significant other: star 6. What would you rather be doing? suck on a pill 7. Describe where you live...

I mind one Mayday, on the annual kickabout, a policeman on the frontline asking me what I believed in..

Policeman "So what you representing here then?"

Me: "Nothing"

Just curious, if you represent nothing, why did you get out of bed that morning to go to the front line?

1. Leeds University (just to be different)
2. Bsc Hons, Computer Science (just to be geeky)
3. Senior Videogame Programmer (just because its better than having a 'real' job )

He was allowed to, he wrote it.

I know, but its still quite.... I dunno, I need to invent a new word for this.... circlest

second episod, and they've blown up Gallifrey?!

Haven't seen the episode, coz I live in the colonies, but surely that would be ok, as Gallifrey would blow up at some time no doubt... or was there more to it than that?

the end of the world party? it was all a bit HHGTG wasnt it?

Well Douglas Adams did use the untelevised "Shada" storyvfor one of his novels, so all's fair in love and scifi

Eleven? There's the original 7, then McGann & Ecclestone, that makes nine. Then Peter Cushing from the two movies, that's ten. Who's the 11th? (Didn't Rowan Atkinson play the Doctor in some cruddy comic relief special. Sorry, you're not having that as the 11th!) And Richard E Grant? And there w...

Always There was pretty good too. Everything else was fairly forgettable...

So by the logic of several of the last posts, we might as well not punish any crimes, because the jails are so full, obviously punishment is not a deterent at all? :roll: The two countries with the highest murder rates per capita (Colombia, South Africa) do not have the death penalty. To compare the...

Let's say that Joe Blogs is convicted and then executed by a court. It is later found out that Joe Blogs is innocent. Under the logic of capital punishment, Joe Blogs' killer should now be tried and executed (surely it's one rule for everyone?). Who should be executed for Joe Blogs' killing? Um, no...

Well its sad when anyone resorts to this...

I remember the lead singer of Big Country doing the same thing 1/2 a mile from my place in Hawaii... I think there's something about being an 80s popstar which can really f**k you up... all the success and then nothing. Gotta mess with the head.

For anyone else who's been denied, there's plenty of trailers and stuff at

NoDubMan Towers has become a bit of a Doctor Who center in the last 24 hours

I'd suggest not playing Hawaii then

Seriously! I could have done without Jar Jar stepping in doodoo (et al), but aside from that, it ranks above Return Of The Jedi if you ask me

(and I'm British, not Californian! I just live here!)

Ep1 - Good
Ep2 - s**t
Ep3 - eager anticipation

But LOTR is on my DVD player more often, I must admit

The first line of the Metro's coverage stated that:

Said it once, I'll say it again! Most journalists are pond life trying to fill space on a copy sheet - they'll make up any old crap, or exagerate something/anything to make a headline.
