Monoclinic

Neither can he! Um, because cheetahs are cats and cats have 9 lives! '86, we just can't let it lie can we?

For some esteemed members around these parts, Henrywatch is about as interesting as stagnant farts. Alas, at least, his life isn't such a bore, As one of these so called deathlist posting whores. Only kidding mate, or summat

Have you been to the Travelers' clinic to have your inoculations to go out of state?

Happy birthday Welshman! I took a leaf out of Canadian Paul's book and googled the words "sexy" and "welshman" and this is what I found

I hate to tell you but it is normal to lose the ability to hear the higher frequency sounds with age. Also having 21\21 vision (I'm guessing that's American for 20/20 vision) is nothing to boast about. It just means your eyesight is the average, not bionic. There are better vision statistics, if you had 20/10 (or maybe 21/11?) vision it means you can read from the chart at 20 (21) feet what "normal" people would read from 10 (11) feet. (i.e. they need to be closer).

Test your hearing. I was initially impressed as the first one I could hear was the 30 year old one (me being 30) then I went back down the list and the 24 one made a sound too so I think there might be a fault on the website or a long delay in playing. On personal experience I reckon the big 3 kHz drop from 18 to 24 comes from one shandy too many, dancing next to the sound system in clubs, concerts and festivals. People usually had to shout on a sunday to make themselves heard in our poxy student living room. Any of our more distinguished clientele like to hazard a guess why a 3 kHz drop also occurs at 50?

I wonder who that one guy might be around here? I thought you said architecture was the future?

You would probably say we were wid of the mark :tumbleweed: Anyway, time to go vote for Dunny like the silent majority...perhaps?

Ian McCulloch had an interesting haircut and a nice line in Scouse wit, but a great man... ? Ah you beat me to it TAFKAG, though I could go with Hilary Duff instead though she is neither great nor a man

So please do tell me, who owns the rights to Kashmir and The Philosopher? Two personae owned by you and used for sending pms to people who had blocked your very self from contacting them in this way n'est pas?

Craig Revel Horwood: 6 Arlene Phillips: 8 Len Goodman: 7 Bruno Tonioli: I'd give him 1

Happy birthday Ocky! Obviously '77 was the vintage year mind but being 30 isn't all that bad.

There is much to be desperate about. Do you really want your country to be run by a man who's campaign is based on only one word (change). It is change this, change that, change the next thing. If you don't like your mother-in-law don't worry, we'll change that too. He has done as Scotland's great leader has done, and promised the world to the people. Something he can't deliver. Then again, that's politics. I can think of many things (and attitudes) that the US could do with changing. Then again I could the same about Europe. Nothing's ever perfect. Change can be good, however long it may take. Patience is as they say a virtue but all politicians are a crock of the proverbial brown stuff. It's how they work, you just have to pick in your subjective opinion who is the best of a rotten lot. I think my opinion arises from the only quote from GCSE English that ever stuck in my head. I, as you probably already know, verge on the pessimistic. In this way whatever goes right is pleasant surprise. The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. (James Branch Cabell)

Treat yourself to a dirty weekend

You'd have to ask Marc Dutroux, he has a taste for Belgian children.

I thank the Lord that I wasn't born a self-obsessed, deluded racist bigot with a fondness for tossing dwarves. Plus, as an added bonus, I am quite at ease with the fact I share a common ancestery with our primate co-inhabitants of this planet we call Earth. Oh and I'm still touched.

Thank-you Godot, I'm touched. However I think you only bent the rules because of a Belgian connection I no longer have (I moved "Francewards" a few weeks back). Feel free to strip me of the award forthwith. Banshees, it seems you may have grasped the concept of irony, either that or you actually like me being condescending about your grasp on reality. I'm, er touched, لكم جميعا الامريكى الغبي

I hadn't thought of it like that, well spotted... Vive la France eh? And ta for the cheating tips, so to speak. (Scuttles off to find out what those Referee codes mean...)

Switzerland and Belgium, boy that is rock and roll! Hope you smash up a few cuckcoo clocks and do a line of moules. Give my love to Belgium, bon voyage!

Who plucked the pleasant pheasant (to extinction)? Your mate?

I turned my cheat back on for the last match (luckily so did my opponent!) but it doesn't seem to do anything. In fact I turned a lot of things on yet still a no score bore. I think I need to re-run a blank and turn them all off again next time. Once a scientist, always a geeky twa... I am pretty certain these Frenchies are on a work to rules / go slow. At least its better than striking I suppose.

Eclair-ly didn't win then I take it?

Here you go Jason Robards and the 1970s version of Julius Caesar. The 1950s version (the one we were made to watch at school; it's in black and white so it went down a real treat,) doesn't have Charlton Heston in it. If it was this version then google James Mason, that shouldn't be too hard.

Happy birthday er... Child Adult of Eternal Doom! Although I am sure by now you have discovered the merits of Cider and going out on the town, in bumpkinshireland. I guess we won't be seeing you for at least another 15 years, give, or take. At which point you'll be cursing all the little deviants filling up what used to be a damn good decent pub. And thus the circle of life goes on... Did I say happy birthday?

I am pretty certain I have posted this before but this promptly faded into obscurity after this show. Though he has survived the eunuch linch mob so he probably has many years to go before he pops his clogs. (Sorry I couldn't resist )
