Or chatting about hands with his mouth on your breasts.
Would be a bit muffled I suspect and just a tad unprofessional frankly.

@Rob
glad to have tried it, not sure I'd do so again.
An old saying wot I made up,
"Never try to repeat a perfect experience, it will always disappoint"
Thanx for the idea. :-) -
I am reading this thread with much amazement. Are you guys telling me that there is a Game show on TV with sex scenes?
What are the prizes like?. -
Hey, just read Charlie Bookers article, he saw the Stepford similarity too. I am not alone.
And our opinion of Apple is not too distant either.
Sorry Russ.

I was, actually, considering Windows 7 but after seeeing that ad... Groan, it think i've thrown up in my mouth a little.
I just can't be a part of the Stepford set. -
why is the rate of imprisonment meant to continue escalating? If the crime rate is in decline because we're locking more people up, the tipping point must surely have been reached.
When they run out of people breaking existng laws they make new ones, after all if there were no crime why would we need police? or government for that matter.

More than one has observed that it was no small miracle that nobody got killed on their way home from such parties.
As Steven Joyce pointed out the other day...
An online survey of 1200 Kiwi drug users shows one in four drove after taking cannabis in the last year... Minister Steven Joyce said the problem "may be bigger than previously known".
So. The "Previously unknown problem" was what exactly? That people drove after a joint and didn't have an accident? That doesn't seem like a problem to me, unless you are trying to prove how dangerous it was. In which case Major Fail.
More than half of respondents said taking cannabis did not affect their driving ability and more than 16 per cent said it improved it.
I remember people saying exactly the same about drink driving. Who do you believe? Who do you believe?

I want to record John Key on Letterman.
The ad on Prime TV says it will be on at 6pm on Friday.
Prime TV website say it will be on at 6pm on Friday and 6pm on Monday.
Freeview EPG says 6pm Friday is Who wants to be a Classic Millionaire?, and that 7pm Monday will be John Key. When and what do I record?Simple Sir. Just set up a video camera and a picture of Letterman with a big brain-dead gap toothed grin then sit down and stream clichéd platitudes whilst smiling like an insurance salesman.
That should do the trick.

But moral enemies will not agree on the observations themselves. Especially when they have a moral theory as the basis for their moral observations. In that case there is no resolution possible between conflicting theories.
Which brings us, neatly, to compromise. There is no deity, or even philosophy to my knowledge, that would accept compromise, being that absolutism is the basis of "God given" morals and science for that matter. However, I think you would agree that compromise gives us the "best" of all possible worlds and that, I believe, is the state of real world democratic politics.
As for emotivism, if it feels right, then it must be. like I have always said "If you're doing it right, you're dancing. If you're saying it right, you're Singing. But if you think you're right you've probably missed something".

Yes Matthew you are absolutely right. Youth today are just terrible, doing all the things that we did, how dare they?
I remember the time I went to a party, had an onion tied to my belt, it was the style at the time. Young Garth George was telling me the other day about how when we were kids we use to tie our bootstraps together for fun, not today, mark my words, all elastic sided slip-ons you know, lazy that's what they are, never fought in any world wars and rationing would be abhorrent to them quite frankly and don't get me started, you wouldn't like me if I got started put them in the Army I say what with all the... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
