Are you trying to demonstrate how to entrap a politician. I think more to the point, so to speak, what point are you making?

I like to think that people in East Dulwich can spell paediatrician, but you never know.

I'm pretty sure Martin Parr neither asked permission nor got everyone to sign a disclaimer, plust there are youngsters in bikinis! So thank god he's not in jail as he's one of the most famous living artistic photographers. That said, if I'm doing 'street' ie naturalistic rather than posed photography, I generally give the subject in question a moo card with a link to my photos after I've done it. This being a typical example. Politeness costs nothing.

I can't help but get a sense of deja vu. I'll just sharpen my pitchfork.

The mocklet loves Mother Goose on Greendale. I have no real complaints either.

Pervert!!

West Ham's season has gone proper roast tomato "Grief counsellors are being rushed through a foundation course in Cocknese to field calls from distraught fans and the club has already instructed clubs in the Championship that, under the equalities act, their stadia will need signage written in both English and cheerfully aggressive rhyming gibberish." "There are certainly parallels between England and the current West Ham as both have been managed by a hapless foreigner and couldn't beat a carpet."

Why not try using scripting language, such as python or perl, to do some screen scraping and save them off as files? Simples.

Does US based Evangelical shite actually need putting into perspective? In all fairness it's not exclusive to them is it, eschatology seems to be a pretty recurring theme in history/humanity. I think it's something to do with wanting to feel significant. That some cosmological epoch will happen in your lifetime, because otherwise you die, the world carries on, forgets about you and you didn't matter after all. You really were just a cosmic accident, a brief flurry of atoms behaving in an unusual fashion before it all breaks down to baser components and you're shat out by a worm. Just saying like.

I'm not scared as long as it can't figure out how to open doors.

Wouldn't surprise me if a few within the tory party fan the flames on this one, he's a bit wishy washy liberal for many of them (ie pragmatic and sensible, veering from extremes). I'm inclined to agree, I took it that he was discussing the sliding scale legal framework that currently exists rather than the impact it has on individuals (which I suppose is to a certain extent implicit in that framework), but frankly in such a tricky and emotive subject a bit more forethought in choice of words and above all sensitivity would have been advisable.

I'm sure you've read some Eco Huguenot, everything is a symbol of anything if you want it to be. It served my purpose. If you add up the ordinal positions of pear in the Hebrew alphabet.....

I'm with the naysayers. 300 fine by me.

Sounds pretty discussional to me, but I'm now losing the will to live and am more than happy to concede the point.

"Nick Clegg needs to grow a pear" Ah, of course, the Chinese symbol of longevity, are you suggesting that Clegg's played for short term gain and lost sight of long term strategy? I think you could be right there you know. [i know I shouldn't Ridgely, but you make it hard to resist sometimes.]

Do they ever stop as such?

which I think you'll see I agreed with several posts ago....

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

Given away a few bits and bobs. Wine is a brucey bonus but I'm not that fussed (especially since the bottle of 'British Wine'). Agreed that it would be nice if people followed through with a promise though; it's the whole expectation and let down thing, whether or not you wanted it.

All your examples Dj/sue are quite neatly encapsulated by offline but ultimately who cares. It still holds true that it isn't an email/gsm service provider. The storage of PMs was bumped up from 60 a year or two ago,.I think in the light of how it's being used and the apparent effects it has on the performance of the site as a whole, that limiting the size again seems eminently sensible.

In all fairness the forum has never really attempted to be a competitor to facebook, gmail or vodafone. PMs are a useful bolt on, but are really only originally intended for forumites to take a discussion off line. Agreed a warning would have been handy, but the lesson to learn is never trust the cloud, if data is important then bring it to your own hard-drive, back it up, print it out. I'm pretty sure there was a thread about that once...

"Neither a borrower..." etc There are reasons clich?s are clich?d, it's because they're true. Although I'd happily lend stuff to people I know well enough to call at doors unannounced, I think I'd draw the line at strangers on the forum.

"or a demonstation of educational achievement" Hardly, after all you know the bin-ends higher-ed institution I went to!!

I would never dream of suggesting a lack of intelligence as you clearly are as sharp as they come. A little misguided maybe, but that's another story ;-P So safe to assume I was going for some common or garden humiliation, whilst simultaneously showing my appreciation for your caustic wit in a demonstration of my ambivalence; my post was after all an homage, not an attack.
