I should listen to more of the Smiths. Only ever really gone for the singles. Morrisey sometimes grates on me in the other bits and bobs I've heard, and other times he sounds perfect. Favourite song would be the one containing Marr's favourite riff, How Soon Is Now.

Metallica - Fixxxer

Don't especially trust either of the main parties since they're as bad as each other. Lib Dems are such a waste it ain't worth it. Would never vote BNP. I disagree with some Green party stuff I've heard about (may not be true, stupid stuff about lawn mowers and that). Wouldn't vote for any of the Nationalists, since I'm English. Wouldn't vote Monster Raving Looney, although I do like the idea of a 99p coin. Spoil ballot it is then.

Straight. Went out with a bi-girl once. Not as exciting as you'd think to be honest.

First noticed that when they got that girl out of the audience to try out the vibrating seat pad thing. Now just glance behind them and there's always a fairly attractive woman just above their shoulders.

Well, they're a rare car and it costs them £5m to make them, if it crashes that's a huge loss. Ferrari didsn't let them have an Enzo, they had to borrow pink floyds drummer's one when they put that round the track.

I don't think it'll top it actually, I seem to remember that it's not all that great in the handling stakes and the test track is mainly a handling course. It'll be quick though. I don't they'd particularly care about how fast it goes round a track for a TV show to be honest, it's not that prestigious at all and it's not like they need the attention either.

Completelty OT, but your view is wrong. The Falklands may have been a 'bunch of rocks' but they happened to be our bunch of rocks, that just so happened to have a fair few British citizens on them, who had determined themselves as British, and it also had a shedload of oil off it's shores that we knew we might be able to get at in the future. There were a perfectly legitimate set of reasons for us to go to war over them, why it would have been wrong of us not to go to war over them. And I'm unsure of any political wrangling we could have done over it, we were dealing with a desperate regime on it's last legs who actually did want a war/victory to get people back on side. On topic, well... I'm certainly not one for the army, but I'm unsure what I would do in this very unlikely scenario. I'd do something, but I can't see myself with a rifle. I'd be dead before I could use it.

TV on the Radio - Dear Science.

Can't advertise alcohol in France at all. Hence why when Liverpool play in France in the Champs League, they have to wear plain shirts.

Buckethead - Soothsayer.

Isn't it because one of the creatures called the daddy long legs has the most potent poison in the world, just not the one we know as it? If they really did someone surely would have died from accidentally eating one or something. Nope its not. The crane fly isn't venomous, nor is the harvestman, and the cellar spider(the other one which is called Daddy Long Legs that actually is a spider), Wiki tells me is venomous but it's venom isn't even that effective against insects. Wiki hypotheses that with the cellar spider the myth might be born of the 'logic' one might get when seeing that cellar spiders eat the likes of the black widow, which is known to kill, so it's assumed the cellar spider has a stronger venom. IIRC the explanation I was thinking of involved a spider that looked similar, and hung around the same habitats as the cellar spider, but was actually very venomous, I wanna say the violin spider or something like that. Oh and if someone had eaten one, since spiders use venom, they'd be fine. Venom requires injection not consumption. Another tied in random fact . Edited for psellign.

Isn't true. No-ones quite sure why people say it is though, the only decent explanation I ever heard was that it was a travellers story after having been bitten by a spider species whose name I forget abroad, which has a nasty bite and hangs around the same kinda places. Also, random fact that ties in, daddy long legs can be taken to mean a number of invertebrates. some people call Crane flys daddy long legs, some people call harvestmen (you may have seen these on your wall, round body and really really long flat hair like legs) it, and there is actually a spider that is small with long spindly legs thats called it as well. And none of them are a threat to humans.

It's perfectly possible to have a debate about opposing political philosophy's Ian without bringing parties into it. I find it pretty damn easy. But when it becomes left v right in these threads it goes to rack and ruin in seconds, and it's always the same reasons why. It turns into a fight, the same one over and over. Add in the style of some of the posting and it makes for really unsavourary (let alone dull) reading. I could take my stand on this issue without bringing the parties into it (it's pretty damn easy for me, I don't staunchly support either), it'd probably be better if we all could on some wider reaching moral/ethical issues imo.

Dear God can we leave the party political bollocks.

but what if there aren't enough organs? at the moment clinical need but surely those who would nto donate woul find the thought of other body parts in thier body wrong ? Not necessarily.

but what if there aren't enough organs? Then that'd be the way it goes, unfortunately for me in that scenario. Of course I'd want as many donors as possible out there. So long as they were all choosing to be in and not assumed that they should be.

Unfortunately, while that sounds all fair and good, it's not quite the way the NHS works, nor should it. It is a choice to volunteer to donate. If I required a donated organ, I should be entitled to it (when it comes to my turn, of course) regardless of whether I'd signed up to do it myself. I do suddenly feel I may have directed this worryingly close to 2 tier NHS medical care and all that jazz with this though...:oops:

But that certainly wouldn't lead to less people doing it than do currently. And as the article says, it wouldn't necessarily make any more either. But that certainly wouldn't lead to less people doing it than do currently. And as the article says, it wouldn't necessarily make any more either.

A couple of reasons why it might be right DDID. If Paddys article there is anything to go by, the presumed consent is at the will of the relatives. If they say no when you hop the twig, you're out. (and incidently, as Bicks I think earlier said, that's not on either. If you said yes, in sound mind and all that, thats final imo) And leading on from that, it mya have something to do with, as I suggested, not many people are actually want to donate and when asked, said they'd opt out.

:? if you don't want your organs to be used, you opt-out. It's quite simple. :? Read what I've said, the principle of the state assuming you want your organs donated isn't right, thats the individuals choice and it should be taken as no until they say otherwise, as it is not anyones place but their own to say what happens to them. It doesn't matter that the choice is still there, it's the fact that is assumed that the state can do what they like to someone's body in the event of their demise from the moment they are born, unless they go out of their way to say no. If anyone doesn't agree with that principle then I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree.

If the rule you mean is the individuals liberty, then no off the top of my head I can't think of any reasons to ever circumvent that principle. If more donors are needed, campaign more, get GPs to hand out the forms with every consultation, make it easier, make it more known. Don't simply presume everyone wants to donate just they can't be bothered. In all honesty I think the number of people who wish to donate is overestimated. An awful lot of people don't, through no reason other than they simply don't wish to IMO (I'm not one of them, in case that's thrown at me).

It's the principle of the state assuming that is someones wishes, which isn't right at all. Thats the problem. People say lots of people don't sign up because they can't be bothered. In this scenario you get signed up, possibly against your wishes, and you have to go out of your way to off it. That isn't right, and I'm pretty sure thats contrary to an individuals liberty and the choice to choose ones own destiny.
