  1. I've found that 61 degrees Fahrenheit = 16 degrees centigrade is a useful reference point. (btw it's supposed to be 79 F =26 C by Thursday.
  2. Anarchy in the UK- Sex Pistols

    Syria

    Why can't they all be Sufis then things might settle down!
  4. God Gave Rock and Roll to You- Argent
  5. Nice choice of colour scheme as well- and it looks as if there are sash windows- just needs some calico blinds and an aspidistra!
  6. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-22753873 Interesting turn of events in Woking.

    Syria

    It's all getting very complicated. The French have 'conclusive' evidence that chemical weapons are being used; Tory MPs are calling for a vote before any decision to supply weapons is made; Saudi Arabia and the Russians are supplying weapons already apparently.....I haven't got time to analyse all the news that is coming out....any thoughts?
  8. Bring Me To Life- Evanescence
  9. The George Bernard Shaw Vegetarian Cookbook by Alice Laden is very good because it is 'ordinary'

    CPR

    Are there moves afoot for them to resuscitate on the spot (especially given the increased use of tasers)?
  11. I like the Roy Lichtenstein inspired art- but you can keep the other stuff- it's tawdry
  12. 2 near misses over the weekend- I was waiting to turn right (luckily) so the car waiting to come out of the side road couldn't pull out because if she had she would have hit the cyclist coming from her right since she did not even look! Coming up to a road junction to turn left because the right turn is one way. I know this road and always look both ways but the car in front of me just pulled out and a cyclist was coming the wrong way and had to swerve to avoid hitting the car. I always look both ways because a cyclist nearly ht me coming out of the road the wrong way! And not to mention the state of the road surface.....
  13. No it isn't. East is geographical, baptist is something completely ungeographical
  14. In My Head- Queens of the Stone Age
  15. If they are anything like the Westboro' Baptist Church in the USA then we are all doomed -and if you don't practise their lifestyle you are likely to have your funeral picketed as the outstanding musician Jeff Hanneman did last week
  16. (The Political Editor of the Huffington Post, Mehdi Hassan, looked slightly rattled on Question Time when a Jewish audience member questioned his use of the phrase 'the occupation of Palestine'. I would be inclined to think that any Huff reports on this issue are purely deflective.) And, EP, religion is a conceptual construct, by adults who desire power over others. Unfortunately very young children are subjected to the brainwashing from day 1, to the extent that they may believe- even at age 17, that people who are not religious are 'bad'.
  17. An empty Watneys Party 7 tin was good enough for us!
  18. Kingdom Come- Manowar
  19. Animal Magic- Peter Gabriel
  20. When there are too many people occupying too little space then something has to give. These various factions are falling over themselves to belong to a group and along with a group there comes a need for territory. They belong to a group (cult or whatever) which has identifiable traits that they can relate to and which fulfills their desires. Young people are vulnerable to persuasion especially in pursuit of an ideal. Most of the rest of us just went on protest marches against war.
  21. It's a lot simpler than that- and perhaps if RB hadn't had so much thinking time on his hands he may just realise that it all boils down to sheer weight of numbers and territory. Self serving air-heads like him can afford to pontificate.
