I was actually hoping a mod could call me out on this. Sir, d'you have a death wish? Suicide by moderation - that must be a new one on the 'net. Heaven protect us!!! Ross, you realise that any extremist organisation you'd care to join will instantly become a cult Regards

Ah, those things. They are simply moronic and irresponsible when others become entangled in them. Morons will be morons - there's the Darwin Award for that. But when lives of others are affected - makes me want to resurrect the idiots and give them a good beating, before letting the die again. Like that German pilot... Regards

Ouch. Won't happen again, Miss! (acts like he believes it) Regards

Someone does? Retards... I always liked that number, whichever end you look at it from Regards

You are not really feeling jealous, more - being excluded. Nothing weird about it. To an extent, boys will be boys, and sometimes they will want to have a bit of lad's time of their own, without the girls present. That's normal too but they also have to consider your feelings. You can't make everyone happy, especially at the expense of your own misery. You need to think about yourself too. You should talk this over with your boyfriend. Try to understand what exactly makes you really unhappy - explain to him, work out some rules for the future. If he cares about you, he will be happy to do it. Regards

Beautiful. Made me remember this song: Regards

@Jeb_CC: Nice tune I normally don't like anything with "rap" in it but this is more like acapella with music interludes. @AP_Pastor: Yes, the whole album is pretty much eminently listenable (which I can't say of most other Hackett's albums). I'd say this is now one of my 3 favourites of his, together with the Acolyte and Please Don't Touch. A lot of echoes of Loch Lomond... Regards

- Business leaders telling us to avoid Labour, because they like what the Conservatives are doing.- Something about George III. - Scotland is almost completely SNP now, which worries Carlisle. Pretty much same old, same old then Steve Hackett- Wolflight His best album in years, just out... Regards

As long as it doesn't need to be connected to the mains! Regards

Anything new on the news? Regards

Oh, wow! 9bPUaLpNcMY I'm ready to pre-order! Introducing Playstation Flow Regards P.S. Wait a second, today is what date precisely?

I'll be a rebellious monk, fomenting dissent among the followers... It's not a real cult if there is no deep schism over some existentially important issue. Like whether to use the first or the last name of the prophet? Come to think of it - pancakes... are they pancakes or crepes? They look like crepes to me! Regards

Not so politically correct now as it was in hippier times, Summers of Love etc! Still nice... 1Aej9wmoQ7M Written by Crosby before CSN was formed and given to the Airplane. Regards

Oh, you like yodeling so much? Regards

Ross's version is correct as "-ed" is only pronounced as "ehd" when the verb itself ends on "t" or "d", like " hounded", "shifted" etc. Regards P.S. Grammar Nazi runs and hides...

The "Centre" of Tikrit, thus far... Let's not celebrate just yet Regards

This was on-air BBC report, not on the web. You know I respect BBC as much as anyone but I totally agree with BTG that is was irresponsible. Unfortunately, for the next 37 days BBC will be a morass of partisan propaganda and lobbyism as the General Election Campaign has started yesterday. Regards

You got it completely the other way round - the US is trying to isolate Russia from the EU and push the EU to greater dependency on the US. ISIS is not directly linked to that although the situation is of course affected by the hostile diplomacy between the US and Russia. ISIS (formerly known as Al Qaeda in Iraq) and its Syrian counterparts have largely been financed and supported by Saudis and other strong Sunni players in the Gulf, such as Kuwait and Qatar with the US and Israel tacitly acquiescing to that because they saw it as the counterbalance to the Iranian power in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. This has fundamentally backfired in everyone's faces and so the US is now more concerned with the ISIS contamination in the Middle East than with Russia. Hence, you can see that the situation in Ukraine has quieted down somewhat. Regards

If that's the only choice - it's A for me My life taught me that truth eventually does come out. If I did kill the man, I would know that one day things will catch up with me. I'd rather take it now, when it's my decision, than risk this explode at some uncertain point in the future, beyond my control and potentially ruining lives of those who may have become close to me... Regards

Just a smile will do Regards

Can you join his game and clobber him with an RPG? That should attract some attention... I think. Regards

Ah. What a wonderful choice then - either be perved upon by Mark "B*tch!" Zuckerberg or by Larry Page Regards

Excuse my ignorance, but what does G+ do (apart from obviously making it easier to Google to track everything one does on the internet)? Regards

Your father's rage is 99% directed at himself for his inability to influence you to do what he thinks is very important to your future. He even may have a point or two but they are totally lost in delivery. He is telling you how you fail in this or that because he thinks that's the way to motivate you to change. Of course, he is totally wrong. The parenthood - he is doing it in an incredibly inept way, I'm sorry to say. But screw it all - that brings me to the main point: you are NOT a failure. And don't ever forget that, please. Regars

@Binky - that beard-trimming method? You're the man! Regards
