mockney piers

I'm not sure of the ins and outs of the difference. Both are subject to regulation which is good, though both a rooted in woo which isn't so good. As far as I've been able to work out it boils down to chiropratice concentrates on spinal manipulation whereas Osteopathy is more holistic, but has only been shown to be clinically effective when dealing with back problems. This NHS advice on chiropracticew says some of the side effects reported seem a little scary including Here's their advice on osteopathy, which seems more reassuring, with the proviso that I might be inclined to go for osteopathy after reading that.

Now the mocklet is getting bigger (about 27 lb now) and I carry him to nursery every day, I've had a couple of disturbing twangs come from my neck with pain and stiffness for a couple of days thereafter and always have deep heat and ibuprofen gel in desk at work for those occasions. Pram Hook is absolutely invaluable. Tommy's on Rye Lane do them. If you need to wear a bag get a small backpack and make sure you wear it over both shoulders, not slung over one. For short term relief, as above, hot water bottles, deep heat, hot bath with lots of bath salts, and a massage from your other half. Might be worth a trip to a back specialist of some ilk just to make sure you haven't kinked something out of shape already.

Blood Meridian was a laugh a minute.

Or just grow up and change your name, like Zowie Bowie, now Duncan Jones (director of the rather fabulous film Moon).

I thought these days 'sources' meant listening to voicemails.

Launch iTunes on your PC, plug your phone in and it'll tell you there is a new version of the iOS (phone's operating system), and do you wish to install it. If you do ensure you back your phone up first. If you have an old iPhone 3 don't even think of saying yes to the upgrade, it'll render your phone unusably slow. I'm not sure about the 3GS, but I'd be reluctant to upgrade it for the sake of one app though. If you already have multitasking (ie you can double click the home button and flicj between apps) on your phone then you're probably alright to do so. Does that help or am I being to geeky again?

Actually the Silverdale Colliery (I used to live right next door) shut despite being modernised, efficient and producing coal cheaper than continental rivals. I did wonder at the time if it was part of a long term strategy to deliberately shift our economy away from mining, and maybe to hang on to coal for the future as it's really cheap now but is going to become much more valuable in the post peak oil world.

placeholder, the page that was there while the forum was down. MySQl is a very good, free database, consequently it's practically ubiquitous as the means for data storage for web applications. All our messages and PMs we type are saved in a database once we've pressed submit, as is our profile information and lots and lots of metadata (has this post been replied to, has it been hidden etc) to allow the forum (in this case phorum) software to do its job. There are other ways of storing data such as text files, flat files, but they are pretty cumbersome, slow and security prone compared to the humble relational database, a fifty year old concept that noone has managed to improve upon in any significant way. I could go on, but it's very boring.

From the placeholder text it sounded like the database was being cleared down of messages in some arbitrary fashion. Cue lots of people complaining that the offer they put up of an old CRT telly for sale in 2007 has dissappeared. I take it there's an MySql db in the backend? It's pretty scaleable these days and should be able to handle pretty large amounts of data. Is there some some indexing or partitioning that could be done to help speed things up without the need for these periodic cleardowns?

Saving Private Ryan = Noel Gallagher = Brash, two dimensional and not as good as it thinks it is The Thin Red Line = Damon Albarn = good quality, rather too pretentious and when you stop to think about it a bit annoying* ? *but not as annoying as Alex bloody James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooh, a Terence Malick film, cool. Will definitely check it out. I don't think he's ever put a foot wrong personally (though averaging a film a decade, there'e not a huge canon to be fair). His films tend to be more like tone poems than drama as such. If cinema as art isn't your bag then I guess his films just seem a bit boring. I remember coming out of Thin Red Line with bored crowds complaining about the length and lack of Saving Private Ryan moments, whilst I thought it was one of the most beautiful and poignant films I'd ever seen. I've no idea what this one's like, but it might be an excuse to finally return to the cinema after an almost 2 year absence thanks to the mocklet.

Worth a try. Where I went, in this situation of it being such a near thing, you could be granted a viva [voce], or spoken examination, and an external expert would judge how good ones grasp of the subject was and if satisfied then you could be bumped up. I scraped my 2:1 by half a percent so I just kept very quiet about it!

What a great list. All it would take would be a tragic turn of events on It's a Royal Knockout Mk II and we've some peripatetic central european aristo, who lost their country about the time they lost uncle Ferdy in Sarajevo, ascending to the throne.

Would Zombie Plague be above Nuclear, if so can I nominate AllForNun for that one?

"Morgan's mother is a distant relative of Manfred von Richthofen" Of Do Wah Diddy Diddy fame? Cooool. "There she voz just a vorking down ze stra?e..." yeah baby!

He knows a lot about insider trading and faking news stories. He's sullied the name frankly. How I miss the days of 'as in Fletcher-Dervish?'.

You're not really going to find solitude and sea anywhere in Spain, but the Canarias are definitely not the place to look, I went there once and still shudder with the memory of massed beach crowds, fat naked germans and terrible pizza as the staple diet. My mate and I ended up hiking up the volcano every day just to stay sane. You might try around Cabo de Gata east of Almeria, it's one of the most legally protected coastlines in Europe, very beautiful with lots of camping but very little in the way of development. My cousin goes octopus fishing there quite regularly. http://www.degata.com/eng/

In the light of recent events in Poshandbeckistan the threat level has been raised to sagatelsagouni.

I suppose a medieval Cheri would have been lucrezia borgia and ms brooks is another 21st century incarnation with her lasciviousness and tendency to bump off her exes (or just bumping them in this case); is this also something about poisoning the political fabric or something?

So that's good then, as long as it can occur anytime without warning, that's absolutely fine. I think an arbitrary system like the DoHS's colour-coded one, or maybe something like Greek Gods would be desirable, without all this tiresome explication. How much better if today's announcement was Threat Level reduced from Hermes to Demeter and just left at that.

More to the point, do we all have an alter ego there yet and who will be the first to bemoan the lack of a M&S Food Hall in north beaches?

I'm having a very guilty flashback of the day we got a supply teacher in science at school and did the same thing to her with about 50 crocodile clips. The whole class was in hysterics, she didn't know why, but knew she'd lost control. She dashed off to the staff room to get support and by all accounts the whole room erupted with laughter when she got there and the poor woman burst into uncontrollable tears. Is that 100 bonus points? *And we were the top stream at my school!

very nice. Mind you, shouldn't this line "Talking about sack," also be 'the sack'. I thought there was a terribly sophisticated pun about medieval sherry going on that was somehow going over my head.

Oooh, that seems to be an irish thing too.
