Same here, I did find one or two I liked but the amount of psudo nonsense nearly put me off. idharma, the dhamma short course and Buddhism trivia are the ones I kept.

Trolls have been with us before the internet but I don't think they were ever so understood until the net allowed us to see how they operate in a step by step fashion. I've met plenty of trolls working in retail and worse still there's one in my immediate family, he never goes near the net, and I've never seen how to…

As someone with a diagnosis of both ADHD and dyslexia I've spent more time in 'special' classes (Classes where they suspect everyone of being delinquents) and in assisted learning environments, sections of the university library with sound proofing better lights etc.. and in those I've found most people didn't have…

I had just looked that up, I was disappointed cos in Ireland anything with paracetamol is not over the counter. A law recently passed means a pharmacist has to take you to one side or to a private room and you either show why you need paracetamol or if you have no visible injury to show them then you have to give a…

And I thought I had just buggerd up my settings.

Super agreed.

re: 'I mourn Die Another Day, too, because it started so well.' Total agreement, I think that film showed who ever was in charge what worked and what didn't. Great shame Brosanan never had the chance to do more Bonds in that style. Craig has done very well as the latest Bond I hope they don't drop him too soon.

Oh no, I'm sure that would be good short term but I think it would sour the subsequent and prior films. Perhaps it's cos I got into Bond from the books but I like that he really does get injured and spend long periods in hospital and therapy and only ever seems to recover to the point of being useful to M but is, as a…

I love that film, my wake up alarm is the Burt Bacharach theme form it. I have heard that theory before but not from fans and not that often. I don't think any body thinks too much about Bonds agelessness. I think the films work cos Bond is deceptively featureless.

@Troyjo People, not just cos they taste better either.

I'm sure I dome live in the time zone furtherest from every one else so why are the free for today offers always expired when I go to get them?

I've wanted my own eeg machine for years so this is exciting news. What's the standard of the software like ? I'd hate to have to pay for the pro version when I'm about to sort my adhd or bend a spoon. The 14 sensors sound like it would be much better then the 1 but for meditative practise only would there really be a…

So how much marmite do I have to eat every day to to halt the stupideting of my brain?

Well, I'm also Irish. But I would argue that the best way to deal with murders and other assorted criminals is to eliminate them by rehabilitating them. Turn a man or woman who has committed a murder and change them to a person who wouldn't commit a murder. Then they can join civilisation and befit society with their…

Just read that book for the first time 2 days ago! :) Picked it up on a whim, never heard of the author or the title before and I was very impressed at how forward thinking the writing is. I'm gonna track down his other stuff if I can. Didn't realize he was popular.

Won-Won?

If someone in the military and I'm not, then I won't call them by rank any more then I would salute or obey their orders, unless you're a medical doctor I won't call you Dr anything (unless I'm back in university and I'm toadying up to a fragile ego academic) in Ireland and most of Europe the vogue of MD's using Dr in…

@Vondruke I'm someone with a unique but very simple name, couldn't be simpler unless I changed it to a number or a letter. Yet I've always found plenty of people who won't remember, will mispronounce it endlessly or make a big show of struggling with it. It does grate and I feel insulted. I have learned that the…

I think you've nailed it. Spaced could be a guide for how to write for such an audience with out aggravating them. Letting a joke or reference risk slipping by you audience is not a bad thing, sometimes that's why we enjoy returning to a shows, films and books. I know I can feel let down if I revisit something I…

Agreed.
