Heartland

Time gentlemen, please?
personally i wouldn't. but then as ive said before: even if alcohol wasn't dangerousy addictive i'd still drink it from the minute i wake up to the minute i went to sleep. and you'd still never see me pissed.

A couple of glasses of wine a night is not "mild alcoholism". FFS.

If someone's drinking is problematic, then fine, prescribe them something to help them stop, but this is just crazy. Am I paranoid or can I see in this a cynical attempt by the Tories to overload the NHS still further, to justify their flogging it off to their mates?

since i posted this i have heard several ridiculous quantifications/"fact"oids which it is my pleasure to debunk:

it is to be distributed for use in the event that you may be tempted to get pissed and dont want to ....so don't get pissed then, surely?

it will save the nhs loads on alcohol related diseases....if the nhs exists long enough to feel the effects long-term- short-term it will cost it a fortune, surely?

it is aimed at "medium-range" alcoholics...of which there is no such thing. i know, i'm an alcoholic. you either are or you aren't. it takes a lot to get there but when you're there you're there, and no amount of little pills is going to stop you drinking or "wanting" (needing) a drink when you are suffering from/about to suffer from deliriums tremens -and dont call me surely.

If a couple of glasses of plonk of an evening constitutes "alcoholism" I'd better get checked into rehab right away.

All I see is the replacement of one dependency with another.
One which appears to also have quite a few side effects of its own.

I daresay, Lundbeck will be giving "incentives" for this program & will prolly see their share price recover from the recent dip.
Oh look

This guy REALLY doesn't like Nickelback

This would have been nice and proper even.

my step-dad was a motorcycle courier for itv news years ago, and one day had to go to thames televisin for something. there he came across Bungle in his costume, minus the head, having a fag.
"morning Bungle, " says my dad. "fuck off you cunt " replied the loveable childrens character.

I had a similar response from a BBC weatherman back in the days when the Beeb's Leeds office was across the road from the Fenton and they used to use it as their watering-hole:

"Huuurrrr! What's the weather going to be like tomorrow?" "f**k off!"

Been there seen the bust from close distance and i have the feeling that there are interesting points in that one Smithsonian Youtube Channel Vid on Nefertiti

Seen on twitter:

Many humans are using satellites to communicate from pocket-held computers about a robot landing on a comet. You are alive at this time.

THE FUTURE.
Wait. THE PRESENT.
And because I feel it's appropriate: AMAZEBALLS.

I'm using a pocket computer to write poorly-spelled and grammatically-flawed captions on pictures of cats. You are alive at this time, too

Absolutely cool! ... ... and a real adventure in our times which are soo ever sophisticated bla ...

Let's hope they manage to get it in a better position so that it can draw some probes from the ground and so on ...

*keeping even my toes crossed for that ... ...

Huge congrats to ESA, anyway ... ...

They seem to need to get it in the sunlight.
Otherwise the batteries are going to conk out

Yeah, they've got a primary charge, which will last for n time, but they need sunlight to charge the secondary one, or something like that.
But even if they don't manage to recharge, it'll have been an amazing feat. They've already got plenty of data from the probe.

If it was mosque shaped, why did they name it after a cube?

I always think it's a bit rich to say that Columbus "discovered" the Americas, given that people had been living there for about 11000 years.
