I suppose I can be a bit cheeky at times Kingy, usually without being out of order though.

Considering the amount of council tax we pay I personally wont be sweeping any leaves or clearing ice from the streets or taking part in any other activity that is supposedly covered by my paying of council tax.

It just is. Aren't scientific theories and hypotheses a belief? as they are theories and not statements of facts. What a ridiculous comment. Scientists and philosophers once believed this stuff to be correct. ?Flat Earth hypothesis. Although not a truly scientific theory, it was proved wrong by many scientific observations over a period of thousands of years, with evidence compiling and culminating in Apollo 11's images of a spherical Earth. ?Phlogiston theory. Created to explain the processes of oxidation - corrosion and combustion - it was disproved by discovery of the fact that combustion is the reaction of fuel with oxygen and that corrosion is caused by oxidation of metals and the formation of compounds. ?Geocentric theory of the solar system. Disproved by studies through astronomy, as well as the use of physics to predict occurrences that geocentrism could not. Whether Earth is really the centre of the universe remains to be seen, since we don't know exactly where the universe ends. ?The classical elemental theory (that all substance is made of earth, air, fire and water). Disproved by the discovery of subatomic particles and the modern elements, as we know them today. ?Aristotle's dynamic motion. It was an attempt at explaining momentum and why certain substances behave in certain ways; it was linked to the concept of the classical elements. Disproved by Galileo. ?Ether as a carrier of light waves and radio waves. Disproved by study of the dual particle-wave nature of light, which means it does not in fact require a medium of any kind, and the simple complete lack of any evidence for such a substance.(Disproved by the Michelson-Morley experiment.) ?Newton's corpuscular theory of light. While correct in many ways - it was the modern concept of the photon - it too was supplanted by the dual wave-particle theory of light that explains all aspects of it. ?Newton's Laws of Motion (which were improved upon by Einstein - while not really proved wrong, the were shown to be not quite right either. For example in relativity or on the very small scale they don't hold). So belief does/has played a part in science. I wikied that little lot.

They have been freed. They both look worse for wear obviously, their family and friends have managed to pay a large part of the ransom securing their release. They are very lucky as I would have thought that they would have perished as they were at the mercy of Somali pirates and the fact the govt don't pay ransoms.

Long may your success at The Vail run ST&NLY, its quite refreshing that you are promoting music in the area, as the majority of acts I have seen are a bit stuffy so this will give us another angle on the music front.

Nick Clegg's first political boss was Leon Brittan, so once a Tory always a Tory.

I think he's probably hadenough already, no need to keep on about him as he's got his ban and probably feels a little upset about the whole sorry affair. Comedy Dull.

Hi Hal9000, Thanks for your reply, I use Tumeric with my rice so when it is cooked it turns a lovely golden colour.

I think it is, People cried when they joined forces with the Tories, surly that said it all. They have been Con-Demned and will never recover as a party. Jacko.

Transformers Robots. Big Ones.

Oh wow! I like the look of the Tariquet. Thank you for your well informed recommendation LB, I shall come into Green & Blue for a chat and to pick up a bottle. Jacko.

For the Sauce I use Coriander, Cumin, Nutmeg, Basil, Green Chillis, Coconut Milk, Black Pepper and a hint of Lemon. So it's quite a mix.

Hello All, My Parents are coming to dinner on Saturday night and my girlfriend has begged me to make them one of my speciality curries. My Dad worked in India in the 70's and sees himself as a bit of a connoisseur in Indian cuisine. Not a problem as he taught me how to cook a curry from scratch when I was in my teens. My Mother also enjoys Indian food and I want to impress her above dad and she has a keen eye for a fine wine so, Can you recommend me a wine which will go well with a medium hot curry please. Jacko.

So what affect do they have on blind people?

Some people believe that Rainbows have magical healing properties, and it is said that faith healers use the colours of the rays separately to heal different ailments. Even the pharmaceutical company's believe this to be true and colour their medicines accordingly. It is also believed that a rainbow is sent by god to help ease the pain and suffering and happens after tragic incidents. I don't believe any of this mumbo jumbo myself. Jacko.
