  1. Despite the electoral rhetoric, the day-to-day demands, current and future, will temper what he can actually do.
  2. Yes, indeed, it's what you do with it that matters.
  3. Time is what clocks measure and that's all physicists say, and that is sufficient. Why don't people agonise over the ontology of length?
  4. 9/11 part 2: .TV remote control...check.... popcorn... check... sick bag...
  5. It's almost like the US has voted for an Adolf Hitler. I don't mean he's like him literally but he is bizarre and extreme like him.
  6. In what way is India being exploited?
  7. Why are the Western countries becoming insular and self-serving? I ask this WRT the popular vote. We've just done it in the UK. The idea of global co-operation is taking a back seat, it seems. What has Obama's government done so wrong?
  8. Yes, considering he died around the time you were born.. He's not very well known except amongst blues aficianados.really. You have good taste anyway. Blues of that kind speaks to my soul.
  9. It's been good for 81 years.....M.A.D. still works even now. The multi-megaton ordnance has just about disappeared. and the trend is towards smaller, precision ones, Armageddon is not the end game that the players aim for their enemies now, if possible. It was the lack of an autonomous, accurate guidance system that made them so big originally. They may, indeed, be used one day but by then it will be with weapons with a small destructive area and shortish half-life. The more time that passes now, the less of of the Doomsday scenario they will be. I'm inclined to think that NATO would retaliaite now with overwhelming conventional forces and regime change rather than a nuclear response.
  10. That's a genre called 'skiffle', innit? That tune was great. A little Chateau Lafite '45....a good year...
  11. I don't think we should give them up. They are doing their job, which is keeping everybody scared. Also,There will always be a**holes like Kim Jong-un. Last but not least, we might need to deflect a rather large object in protest at being earmarked to make way for an intergalactic highway. Arthur Dent told me.
  12. That's it. It's when I'm in my profile and go from there. I quite often start a session from there Cheers.
  13. "Stringjunky, you stand before the court, because over the last forty years you have, by conservative estimates, willingly and wantonly misplaced and wasted the possible lives of 1500,000,000,000,000 of your children."
  14. Whenever I click on the New Content button it nearly always shows the Members option, instead of the forums first. Anyway to reverse so it defaults showing forums first? I have to press twice everytime atm.
  15. Returned my unused Zyban and signed off from my smoking adviser today. Job done, hopefully..

      thanks guys. Yrs, I know, Koti. My brother gave up about 25 years ago and would till ask to roll a cig for me; I told him"No". I'll always be able to smoke but I gave up drugs 15 years ago and theygave mealot more pleasure but I still don't touch them. I've always wanted to be totally drug-free and this it. As good as a drug, if not better tohave taken complete control over myself.

      Thanks Charon. It's just hitting me that it is a big deal really. I'd smoked since I was 17. It was harder than I thought it would be, probably wouldn't have done it without the Zyban; the urge was pretty consuming at times.

  17. That's like saying: "When does green become blue in a rainbow" doesn't it? The demarcation only appears from a distance.
  18. The line represents the path of a photon; nothing else. That's the only information, i think, you should take from. it,
  19. If they are not occurring on vertical surfaces then that suggests to me something is landing either on the prepared surface prior to brushing on or after brushing on.the lacquer. It may be coming off your clothes or from the air over the work surface via air draughts..
  20. About half of all impregnated eggs/foetuses spontaneously abort; a lot of funerals.
