I would like to choose 1395 as a bonus ball for HAL9000. This figure represents the number of times at which light particles travel faster than the Sun. Thank you fleabag.

Incidentally, I don't understand why more people are not contributing to this lottery - Willy-Woof has worked SO hard on it and it is ultimately for such a good cause. I just don't get it at all. It's not as though he is going to get anything out of it. I wonder how Willy-Woof feels? Anyway in case you haven't seen through me, this post is really an excuse for a good old-fashioned b-ump. I mean, the thread is in aid of a really worthy cause FFS!. Yes, I have been drinking - but still, I make no apology for the post.

Is it possible that there might be a link between economic inequality and financial crises? David A. Moss, an economic and policy historian at the Harvard Business School seems to think so. It's an interesting article.

Blimey Mark - where have you been? I expected you PAGES back! LOL! *curtseys politely*

Yes, philosophers make that point about just about everything...but - alas - I am no philosopher...I like the simple life and live by simple rules which come from deep within...my instincts...my intuition etc...it is those which tell me what is happy/sad, good/evil, black/white, simple/complex etc. etc. Call me a simpleton. The only things that truly matter in life are those that money cannot buy. But I am quite certain you know that already.

...can (and do) play it all day long whilst working, playing, you name it...it's on now...

Awwwww...aint that lovely... Appreciated karter...don't mind if I accept... Hugs back at you dear lil bro xxx *wipes tear*

Just for you Katie7649094 (who am I kidding...judging by the last post...it's for me too! LOL!!!!)

Well I stand corrected...you pickle well...

I've been thinking about life, the universe, parallel worlds, the moon etc. etc. lately, and this tune popped into my mind: Cornel campbell - Blue Moon - Lover's Revival Whilst it's a pretty decent version, it is not the one I remember. The one I recall from my youth was more upbeat and even more beautifully sung (to my mind, anyway). Does anyone know who sang it? I cannot find anything on the net, but I would love to hear it again. Thanks in advance reggae lovers. x

A bit much to ask for (I suspect), but I would like constant happiness in life (i.e. no sadness whatsoever).

Very funny! Unfortunately, it is a very sad fact of life that even ladies of repute are feeling the pinch in this economic climate...as per the family silver, I had to let her go only last week. *gets boot boy to round up horses in preparation for horse trader*

Mick Mac, how can you be entitled to a mid-life treat when you haven't reached middle age yet? Oh just realised...you said "want"...so I guess entitlement doesn't really come into it...in which case...go for it...

Gawd...I typed that in the early hours this morning while a little tiddly on my return from a weekend by friends in Oxford. I promptly edited it this morning, without first checking if anyone had responded (didn't think anyone would TBH!). Blimey - caught out again!:-$

Mick Mac - thank you x But credit to Quids - he still won! (Swine!)

Damn... I've been at friends in Oxford this weekend...not long got back...so have missed the bonus balls. Still, I want you to know that you really are the loveliest fleabag on this earth. Big hug, pet, cuddle, rub, and whatever else one does to dogs. Seriously though Willy-Woofy...you are the best. Even if I don't win one of your prizes, I shall still donate something to this appeal xxxxx

December is a fabulous time to go in terms of climate, and - if I recall - some tropical diseases (though I can't recall which:-S). Anyway, it's such an interesting place that you'll probably find that 3 weeks isn't long enough - but it will give you a good taster. We spent a month there many years ago and it really wasn't sufficient - to see the place properly, ANYWAY, and to truly immerse yourself in Vietnamese culture - which is very different to our own. Whilst it would be nice to spend lots of time in both the North and South capital cities, personally I wouldn't - purely because there are far more interesting and more beautiful places to visit (such as Hoi An - which is quite amazing and is - almost - like a step back in time). My two tips: 1. keep your wits about you - many tourists have been mugged. We suffered two attempted muggings - one incident was relatively frightening because we were surrounded by some five or six people (beware of small groups of people coming up close). Don't get me wrong - there is no need to get paranoid, but just be aware. It is very easy to "over-relax" in such an environment. 2. Try to learn some basic Vietnamese - it will really make a difference to your trip. Also, if you know French - brush up on it as some of the older Vietnamese speak fluent French and they seem to love a good natter with French speaking tourists. Do ENJOY! Oh and the cuisine - STUPENDOUS!

Are you related to the lovely - Sophiesofa?

She's also allowed a bonus ball...so 111 for Daizie too
