Just when you thought it was marginally safer to get on a plane.... sigh, am flying in about 3 hours, forunately *back* to the UK and straight to Edinburgh. The 'Airports at a glance' section on the BBC website that was up just a while ago had measures for outbound flights (funnily departing from ev...
To continue recent potentially classic/shite movie threads (see: Snakes on a Plane), has anyone seen the latest Rocky offering?! http://www.apple.com/trailers/mgm/rockybalboa/trailer1/ First one's a classic, second one was ok, third one gets away with having Mr T, the fourth had oh-so-wonderful Sovi...
Quoting Lodestone from 11:05, 28th Jul 2006 Perhaps you might find it helps to understand me to read what I actually say. I didn't say monogamous love is "all" jealousy. I said that it is inherently jealous: that is the (very genuine) feelings of love it entails must almost by definition, be combin...
Quoting Midget from 18:37, 21st Jul 2006 Natural to be prudish. In what sense is it natural? Do we see 'nature' being prudish? Are we born with clothes, or indeed any sense that we should wear clothes or have sex in private? And as for monogamy being natural... I know what you're getting at here, a...
Quoting Lodestone from 10:01, 21st Jul 2006 Certainly. I feel that whenever any issue is not in the public domain it is far more subject to fear, prejudice, ignorance and exploitation. Specifically with sex, keeping it behind closed doors was another tool used for the subjugation of women. The link...
Did everyone get this 'letter' about liability in their third year? I don't remember ever receiving it at my home address. Also, I'm guessing as you're posting now, you've just recently got word from the SAAS. As an EU student, I still hope I somehow slip through the net. They'll probably track me d...
Aaaah yes, back by popular demand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAC9t4nNxjU My personal favourite line is: "Those legislative Taliban in Iowa passed an unconstitutional means to stop us from putting the cup of the fury and rath of God to your lips and making you drink it." Legislative Taliban?! I ...
I'm with Seth on this one, shyness can be nice - probably in this context because it's so closely intertwined with modesty. Friends generally say that I have very strong self-confidence. Behind it all I am, however, someone who still frets and worries about certain social situations more than is hea...
Quoting exnihilo from 08:58, 8th Jun 2006 There's actually more than you might think. On a related note, on an episode of the West Wing Bartlet challenges his staff to name three English words beginning with dw. As I managed to think of four, I now challenge you to think of four English words begin...
Urgency has made me post here instead of other boards. Am heading off for a hiking trip on the 12th. Does anyone in town have a sleeping bag they could lend me? I'm 6+ foot if that helps (would rather sleep in comfort than midget conditions - no offence).
Quoting Mehmsy from 17:44, 12th May 2006 My theory is that Michael has been 'converted'. Not really converted at all. He's just following the same 'distressed parent' profile he's had since the very beginning of the show. He would let the Losties mount a strike force or even an army to get his boy ...
There hasn't been a LOST thread around recently... sooo ... Any thoughts on the past few episodes? Personally apart from the final few minutes of tension, I thought 'Two for the Road' was a bit naff. Linking AnaL and Jack's dad together was interesting enough, but the characterisation on the island ...
Well as long as the eligibility and giveaway for the Mac Mini is for real, then that's all you really have to worry about. Mentioning the DVD service, I assume you chose Screen Select from the list. This is a legit company that's advertised in Empire Magazine and the likes, and I had a paid subscrip...
Hey, just sent you an e-mail too.
I lost my keys around 1am. Annoying as I wasn't really drunk, but it was pitch black and they had been trodden into the sand.
Quoting Icarus from 15:52, 27th Apr 2006 That woman needs to get laid. I know, or at least sodomised. I loved the user comment: "Ms. Phelps is obviously the product of an incestuous union, as her near-drooling grin and obvious mental illness clearly show." Just look at that glazed-over stare. Aaah!...
