The British, if there isn't a local chippie or donner shop (or if you prefer not to take your own life in your hands; donner shops have a certain...reputation)

In regards to firearms safety around children, I suspect that the golden rule is ‘ don’t leave weapons, loaded or otherwise, in places where your offspring or animals can reach them.’ Much the same common sense approach applies to household chemicals, gardening equipment, kitchen knives, and firelighters. Why a gun…

Right, time to go and buy a better graphics card.

You don't know OrganicUnicornMeat's situation (and for that matter, neither do I); butt out.

I'll be interested on the day when an XBox or Playstation can run MS Office, Mendeley, and ArcGIS.

Hey, I'm a PC nut; I've never actually owned a console, mostly because it's easier to justify a new computer. I can always say I need it for work...

And this is why my first in case boot is always performed on the back patio with a fire extinguisher at the ready; I am not burning down my house for the sake of shiny tech.

There are, in fact, t-shirts.

Count your stars; the NHS won't get around to me for another few months. Socialised medicine is absolutely brilliant if you stumble into A+E with a sucking chest wound or tumors bulging out of every pore, but absolutely shite at dealing with chronic complaints.

Have a chat with your doctor, and a heart-to-heart with your significant otter; if the cause isn't medical then you may need some more foreplay. Also try getting yourself off; whether or not that hurts may be an important clue.

Yup, based on my own experience that 'dead inside' feeling is indeed the advance forces of depression stomping on your soul. Exercise sometimes works, but it is often sensible to book a chat with a professional psychotherapist (heck, talk to your priest as well, if you keep a faith).

I would like to humbly request some advice. I'm unemployed again, and looking at the job ads I can't see anything I'm really qualified to do (I have degrees in Biology and Entomology from a global top ten University, but limited organizational skills and no aptitude for maths or social interaction), and every time I…

Fangirling is distasteful, people...

With the aim of ensuring that each crew member is as multidisciplinary as possible:

That looks worryingly like one of my uncles...

I wonder how these compare to the RNs Astute class subs. The Astutes are quieter than American Virginia class, and have a longer operational range for reasons of being nuclear, but they also happen to be monstrously big and prone to malfunction...

Antipox, I think, if the word 'pox' is rooted in a romance language

Dammit I wish there was a PC port; I can't justify buying a console just for this, however awesome it may look.

It's mainpaged right now, just under some news from Iraq, and they have five or six articles currently going. I can't get BBC TV from here, so I don't know if the TV news is currently talking about it. Other Murdoch outlets (Sun, Mail, Express) seem to be more interested in Robin Williams right now (which is equally…

Because she makes the UK a merry f***tonne of money just by existing (seriously; the estimated income we gain from Royal-centric tourism alone covers the cost of having a royal family), never mind that all the income of her estates goes straight into government coffers.
