    Update on Cinderella

    I hope you like this, and it's not too ancient a one! Cinderella is now 95 years old. After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship. One sunny afternoon...

    BBC (& Sky) Gaza DEC Appeal Veto

    My view is that there is a very real humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza and that urgent medicine, food and shelter is great need. I've been reading CAFOD's blog from Palestine which has been a real eye opener and very personal account of exactly what has been going on. I know there must be...
  3. Electricity bill.

    Just had ours in today and it's 50% up on the same quarter from last year. We never have lights on in rooms no-ones in and our home is empty between 8.30 a.m to 5 p.m. so none is being used throughout the day. God knows what the gas bill will be when that turns up after the sub-zero temperatures...

    Subbing Sawyer off?? Bad decision!!

    What was all that about? Our best player on the pitch IMO, and Tilly goes and subs him off, bad move. The guy covered every blade of grass, and was a constant threat. We must sign him up for good. And why have the floodlights on from half time? Was there poor visability in the ground? It...

  6. Why drugs are good

    In response to the Why Drugs Are Bad Thread... Electronica jazz-freak and well renowned acid head Squarepusher has put forward a strong case for why drugs are good! “This album started as a daydream about watching a crazy, beautiful rock band play an ultra-gig. At first, a giant fluorescent...

    If The World Was A Village Of A 1000 People

    If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this: The village would have 60 Asians, 14 Africans, 12 Europeans, 8 Latin Americans, 5 from the USA and Canada...

    Compromise?

    With a recession pocking its head from around the corner, I decided that perhaps with the amount we are all shelling out on fuel and household bills that a bit of good housekeeping was in order. I tryed to explain to my daughter that maybe when she went upstairs that she could possibly learn to...

    Why...?

    Email I got... Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Why does someone believe you...

    Massive development in the computer world

    For 40 years scientists have attempted to make the theory become reality, and now one has 'stumbled' upon it. What 'it' is, is a little chip that can remember where it left off. I'm not really up with all the computer hardware chat so I'm not too sure how it does it, but basically the features...
  11. A Bit Of Fun ..........*Why?*

    Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when...

    20 years on - The Great Storm of 1987

    Well, 20 years ago today we woke up to find most of the trees of the south-east of England had blown away. I personally slept through the whole thing & was surprised to find a rather upset mother (she's a bit of a tree-hugger) when I got up to go to school as usual. Despite my school being...
  13. Ponder These

    Can you cry under water? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches? Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round? Why do you have to "put your two cents...

    Car Problem

    Now as you may be aware, I love my pocket rocket of a Fiat Punto, and it can easily out pace almost every car on the planet when I'm behind the wheel. However, everytime I go to get out of the beast, it gives me a minor shock of static electricity. Naturally, being harder than a coffin nail and...

    Dragons Den

    Just watching tonights Dragons Den and there are two guys with a gizmo for reducing electricity consumption whilst on standby. now i know a guy posted on here some time ago asking us to vote on a similar gizmo on a SKY ONE programme. Does anyone know if the one of the guys on tonights DD was...
  16. Maldon tonight

    Am I right in thinking that Maldon is so backward it hasn't yet been reached by the railway? I also take it that Blues World isn't broadcasting commentary (as there's no electricity to run their equipment off).
