Tarot you sound like a walking Daily Mail article. Go on, blame everything on the immigrants, it really helps.

It's Inspector Sands, not Sams. "lounged" means that the thread gets move to the Lounge section, where trivia and nonsense abounds.

Change for change's sake is pointless.

Having a different opinion to you doesn't make me daft, what a stupid and ignorant thing to say. The reasoning behind AV was massively flawed, so this was the right result. This nonsense about PR giving seats to the BNP is alarmist and has no basis in truth.

Fine by me. They'd go bust without us. The SNP don't have a clue.

Maybe one day soon we can have a referendum with options for sensible electoral reform. AV was a ridiculous proposition.

It would be idiotic, inflammatory and distasteful to publicly release photos of the body. What would be the point? He's gone, dead OR alive, there are still extremists out there and a picture of his body will be of no help whatsoever.

They certainly should't be asking for a signature, no way.

It's a good plan. Should apply to old cars that don't conform and all 4WDs.

This thread admirably demonstrates why the NO vote will win. Marmora Man sums this nicely above.

Nobody has provided a cogent argument as to why voting YES would be beneficial. I'm voting NO and await some fair electoral reform which makes sense to the public.

Republicans are sooooo tedious.

Balthazar in SoHo. No question!

A few years ago I was passing through Victoria station and I saw a women violently slapping her daughter (who looked about 6 or 7 years old) about the head repeatedly very hard and screaming at her. Myself and another guy nearby immediately went over and asked her what she thought she was doing. The mother looked terrified but the child became extremely defensive and told us to mind our own business and I had a terrible sense that this child was scared of her mother becoming upset.I looked for a police officer but mother and child scuttled off immediately. I often wonder what else I could have done to help but short of punching the woman in the face to give her a taste of her own medicine, I don't know what else I could have done. I've never come so close to considering making a citizen's arrest. I still get angry about it sometimes.

I'm more offended by the phrase "political correctness gone mad".

He's Charlie Sheen. Too busy these days.

It is I'm afraid an expensive business and the figures in aspidistra's post are about right (my father passed away last year.) Most people don't have the time or inclination to shop around much at a time like this but from advice we sought, the costs were much of a muchness. Burial more expensive than cremation. This was down in Kent so I don't know if there is any inflation of costs if the funeral is to be held in London. We had a cremation, a hearse, one extra limousine and one big flower arrangement and it was just over ?3000 when we included extra copies of death certificates, service sheets, a fairly basic reception with a buffet, teas and coffees. It's definitely worth shopping around if you are hiring somewhere for a reception but everything else seems to more or less cost what it costs. They have a captive audience after all. Yes, it is a miserable subject but a good question, which most of us will have to be part of organising at one time or another.

Sounds like a good idea to me. The ED Warehouse just isn't very good and seems to have moved away from the sort of idea you describe. Whether that's because of lack of decent product or lack of customers I don't know but a good mixture of food and crafts/gifts of the non-tacky variety would be welcome.

This poor guy is now going to be unable to have a peaceful morning swim as half of the posters on this board will suddenly be feeling aquatically inclined in order to see what they're missing.

wilful forum drivel sends sane doolally?

I suggest we give Silverfox some dummy smartphones and force him to wander the streets of East Dulwich as a decoy for the muggers. This will leave all the innocent mortgage holders and even that lesser species which still rents to go about their business unhindered.

Virgin is much better in that you don't need a satellite dish, you can watch one thing and record up to two other things at once (with Sky you can only record one other thing.) Also, it means you're not lining Murdoch's pockets further. I'd have loved Sky Atlantic but all those shows will be on terrestrial at some point anyway and lots of it is repeats of old shows.

Well the posts that have been quoted are among the more idiotic comments here. It's amazing how insensitive and ignorant many of the comments in this thread are - it reminds me of that unpleasant Madeleine McCann thread which has thankfully gone now.
