She gagued your auras remotely?? My goodness!!

You have a good doc! Hang onto her like a limpet. I now live in Sweden and although I had to have a small copay (argh! Unused to! UK native!) I got TWO HOURS of chat and tests, plus follow up and referral. Good stuff (this is in Sweden, I used to live in the UK..I assume you're American.)

The "Nazis" one is almost as good... "Hans... are we the baddies?"

I do a lot of work on Placebo in my job, and wow...it is seriously powerful stuff.

Well of course it's bollocks. And of course it makes people feel better. In the UK, a GP (General Practitioner) appt is now 7 minutes long. Many, many people who go to the docs don't need medicine, they need someone to sit with them and listen. They need someone in a white coat, and authority, to sit, and LISTEN to…

And have you read any of Jasper Fforde's work? As a graphemist I reccomend starting with the wondefully surreal "The Eyre Affair" (A silly book for smart people) and going from there...

Ooh..I had some lovely lace weight alpaca from when I was in NZ...Great U/name by the way .. Excuse my scientist's woeful inability with anything to do with semanitcs, but have you read one of my favourites, "the name of the rose" by Umberto Eco?

Cool. OK, so we don't do the every day thing (I used to, when I lived in the UK, and we had the monstrosity that is carpeting.)

If you do relocate, shout me. It is not easy for Individualists like UK/US citizens here.. you have to give up a lot to be part of that collective (ONE wine shop, government owned, open about 3.5 millseconds a week..) It's tough, but it is worthwhile. Let me know if you are thinking of it...

So where? I think one of the more stable S American countries would be a good move. None of the Eurozone really want it (alas we're all super skint right now..)

It's insane (Brit here..) the temps are just not compatible with a full 90 mins (I know you know this, but i'll point out to the one who don't) they play 2 x 45 mins + overtime of FULL play. You cannot do that in 50+ degree heat. Also it clashes with the season for most of our players. It's a crazy decision to let…

Yes, there is. I know that big projects take a toll but this is beyond that. The workers are held in a "Kafala" system which is really a recipe for abuse. It's not good. Sorry for the long link (apologies, I have no idea how to edit links to a decent length in posts..) But this sums it up. It's not a good situation.

Yes... they really don't look so big to me. I mean about my size, which is a little (OK, a lot) bigger than the societal ideal in my part of the world, but nothing to scare the horses. Of course they will be waaaay taller than me as well...

Look...seems like you're from a similar background to me - praise your kids for the hard work they do, not the A grades.

I'm glad you like it!

"On Ilkley Moor Baht'at"..and then I can go to my grave happy...

I like to think he goes back to his shed, cracks open a nice packet of digestives, opens the racing post and then they just cackle about how they are decieving the world...

I'm sure she'll be able to afford it, and in all fairness, they're not SO bad (yes, hilariously unaware and so rich it's silly...but not abusive.) Poor wee thing... A nursery with mirrors? Kids just need stability, love and a pile of books/crayons/cardboard boxes. Not all this shit.

Yeah... my first thought too. Babs just looks a bit "I'm terribly sorry but the harsh cold air has hit the region usually covered by my nappy and I believe SOP is to wail like a fire alarm or piddle all over you..."

Also the only name possible would be "Captain Roombastic."
