    I'm still a beliver.
    There is Pirate Willy & they do conceed that it sounds like Master Bates. There are other hidden meanings, like the play on words with the FlyingDustman.
    To win a court cases doesn't mean it's true.

    Subversive story lines are fantastic.
    Was the episode on vid or in a book.
    I was outraged as a kid when Getafix the Asterix Druid had his name changed for the movie.
    And can anyone get Cpt Pugwash with the orig character names, Master Bates & Roger the Cabin Boy?
    Wrong stories for kids but brilliant for big kids.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't dear PA lamenting a few weeks back that Jornos aren't paid and do it out of a sense of Public Duty? Nice perks boys, nice perks.

    Cows are sacred in Canty at the moment - bloody dairy industry.

    Just thinking about harm reduction, needles, Manchester st Prostitution and the deathly violence dealt to those vulnerable women.
    Any move to have street prostitution in small shop fronts like the Amsterdam red light areas? The idea to reduce violence and murders of these vulnerable women (off topic I know but I Emma always has a good angle on these things).

  • Hard News: Phew, what a scorcher?,

    Global warming is too precise a term to be right & climate change is too general a term to be wrong, so what does it mean?

    I think better to look for the various local trends by which to read the patterns emerging.

    Advancing glaciers is not nessicarily a sign to disprove global warming but we need to look at why it is advancing or retreating and is the snow still falling to ensure the glacier continues? Sth American glaciers are advancing but without added snow. This is just the candle being burnt from the other end. Advancing has the same end as retreating glaciers.

    The simplicity of Denis Duttons arguments don't look deep enough to disprove global warming in itself.

    Better to watch Flash Gordon than listen to Denis Dutton.
    At least there are winged monkeys in Flash and we get to see the real reason for climate change - Ming the Mercilous!

    I was just about to pick up some stones to throw at this Pray Healing Centre when I saw the word Free.

    If they give care and support to those in need good on them.

    A bit concerned at the report they're setting out to cure cancer though.

    Not quite the oil debate but there isn't an electricity crisis if we move to heat pumps & solar water heater, rather than the one-bar heater & uninsulated water cylinder.

    Why wasn't the whole thing made confidential & avoid the media ruckus?
