I hope you realise you've just served up your arse on a plate! Relax, I'm not going to take it out of context and post it as the title of a new thread - oh, but I'm so tempted :)

Just don't get me started on Talmudic Logic :) -------------------- Thou shalt not make spoons from thy father's bones!
  4. A surprising number of presidents have served prison sentences - in some countries it seems to be a prerequisite for their heads of state.

But not entirely unrewarded, it seems: whoever he is: 1) he sounds like the victim of an AA Gill overdose, and 2) the table wasn't the only thing that got laid last night. Anyway, nice one. I've sealed a few conquests over dinner at the Locale, too - highly recommended. I find their Caribbean Sunset cocktail particularly effective.

  7. 'Glut of Tomatoes' Soup Variations: (with or without bacon) Add a chopped boiled potato for a slightly richer taste. Add fresh/tinned spinach before wizzing. Add cream for that 'Cream of Tomato' taste and texture. Add fresh Basil or Sage. Add Garlic. Add a little Cayenne (i.e. red chilli) pepper. The above items may be used singly or in any combination.
  8. I just thought I'd mention it in case your examiners use euphemisms in order to avoid offending students with vulgar medical terms - wouldn't want you to fail on that account. Good Luck. :)

    Andystar Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Now can anyone tell me wtf The Prisoner was about??? There's a delicious irony in this as a follow up to a question about Lost: The Prisoner by Patrick McGoohan The main character spends the entire series trying to escape from The Village and to learn the identity of his nemesis, Number One. The Prisoner was a completely new, cerebral kind of series, stretching the limits of the established television formulas. Its influence has been echoed in Lost, Babylon 5, Nowhere Man, I-man, The Truman Show, The Simpsons, ReBoot, even American Idol teaser ads.

    I'm lost

    Short of pure guesswork, this is about the best clue one has until Season 6 is televised: Season 6 (2010) Main article: Lost (season 6) On May 7, 2007, ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson announced that Lost will end during the 2009?2010 season with a "highly anticipated and shocking finale."[64] "We felt that this was the only way to give Lost a proper creative conclusion," McPherson said ... The producers also plan to wrap up long-standing mysteries, such as the nature of the smoke monster, the four-toed statue of Taweret, and the identity of the skeletons from the season one episode "House of the Rising Sun". Matthew Fox stated in a recent interview that in the final season, the characters of Jack Shephard and John Locke "will come head to head." A third of the way through the final season, the two time lines will be "solidified into one" and "will be very linear ? no more flashbacks, nothing." He has also claimed to be the only cast member who knows the ending of the series. Cuse has stated that both the time travel and flash-forward seasons are over, and they're moving into something different for the sixth season.

  15. Ha ha ha! It's cited not sited, you ambidextrous Pinhead!
  16. ...when rival baboons fight over who gets the biggest nuts. Well, that seems to support the theory that football violence evolved in our Hominoidea ancestors. It is believed the violence flared between the rival supporters after an argument over who would be the first to grow opposable thumbs. However, this bit seems to imply that it coincided with the evolution of unidexterous w@nking - an activity confined to the Hominidae! ????: I'm not sure about the scientific credentials of that article you cited.
  17. Does anyone know whether, from a financial point of view, is it worth making such a claim when no serious injury has been suffered, i.e. broken bone(s), sprained/inflamed joint(s), etc? Note: I'm asking out of general interest, not trying to minimise the OP's injuries.

Primal tribal behaviour - probably began as a useful survival instinct amongst the earliest Hominidae or, more likely, their Hominoidea ancestors - depends how deep you want to go?
  20. Is that little 'x' for me? I'm blushing. Here you go sweetie: dog friendly holidays. Bonnes vacances!
  21. Spare a thought - not everyone can type as fast as you, MoP.
  22. Nah. I?m guessing the girls are thinking of somewhere in the UK, what with the quarantine laws and all that?
  23. There already exists a Citizenship Exam - just have to extend its scope to include everyone, that's all.
