"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming, 'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'"

The United States has a simple and fantastic written constitution (although as with all things even its simple interpreatation can be cause poroblems) I've read it as have many people because it's so simple and short. The people of the US are almost idealistically committed to it. I doubt there's anyone in the world whose read the European coinstuitution...it's a bueracratic nightmare of the worst sort and is totally worthless as 'WE the people' of europe have demoonsrated when we've been allowed to vote on it. It's clutching at straws the glib comparison between the US and the EU's constitution, the latters constitution should start "We the bureacrats" as it's nothing to do with the people..at all. It's an anti-democratic mess dreanmt up by political elites who think they know better than us the mere electorate.

Domestically often - not to join the Euro was one for instance. Incidentally I give the euro just over 50/50 of existing in its current makeup by the end of this year

I'm going to leave this thread now...I may be some time.

nope, he's a gooner...I'm also 99% sure he reads the Guardian

New Years Day- U2

I did the predicter thing last night - Champions Man U on goal difference to Chelsea, Arsenal 3rd and Liverpool 4th Down Pompey, Wolves and Hull West Ham 12th! So shows what I know.

send down the National Gallery & Upton Park then they can blow up all the bridges as far as i'm concerned

Zola's officially pissed off now ...on the other had, good results for us tonight on the whole. I guess Stoke to have beaten Wigan would have been better but other than that happy. Just need 3 points against your boys kpc;-)

leave her hedgetrimmer out of this

This song's number 1 in Heaven - Sparks

If Lennon's fit again absolutely.

and agree with KPC on Barry. Funny though A year ago or so ago Walcott was a shoe in but now...

Beckham starting, no way. A bit player now good to come on when players are tired; game needs slowing down (ie we're winning) or to breakdown/chanfge play. No way a start but in the squad yes. I'd take Crouch too and not C.Cole (I said it)

The Only Living boy in New Cross - Carter USM

..I think she wanted it in the lounge though!

Pubs is a great example where smaller less paranoid companies/individuals, such as the Herne, keep things like the kids climbing frame whereas the one that used to be in the dog has been removed courtesy of Head Office. Try and get a babies bottle microwaved in 'Girraffe' etc No chance..smaller private restaurants, normally not a problem. The latter tend to be far more likely to treat customers as adults and vice versa.

Not the whole picture though Hal, Jews were also restricted from most 'profressions' in medieval (and later) times as well as not being allowed into Trade Guilds etc, so often they had little choice.

...romance isn't dead

I agree..already heard Zola's not happy on this
