"Inbred"; The sheep, the shaggers or both?

Was that the second or third book?

Re: Better yet

"That's why they're making the drones. And shooting them down could be construed as a militaristic act."

So glad that when my piloted plane is shot down it will be done in the name of peace and love.

Wonder if it sells well if Apple create iNappy and link it to the iPhone.

Only once they've redesigned the interface and iBabies have three legs - a 50% improvement over the old model.

Never let hardware manufacturers create end-user software.

It used to be "Never let an electronic company design mechanical systems." One look inside a VHS/Beta tape machine and it was obvious that no one skilled in the art of mechanical design had been anywhere near the box.

Sadly, probably bolted open.

I thought we adopted BCE to solve this problem?

Re: @Laura Kerr - "Having sex without a condom" is the primary culprit

Quote from a lady in the middle of an unplanned pregnancy:

"I got caught short in a moment of lust."

Education is better than pushing abstinence, lust will always win and it is better to know what works beforehand.

Re: Quick point

Capital punishment and mutilation have no place in a civilized society. More ambivalent about corporal punishment.

I know what they're thinking, follow the money! There's an election in the offing that has to be funded by "donations".

Re: How can a conversation with a passenger be any more or less distracting than one on the phone?

I want to die in my sleep like my Granddad, not screaming in terror like his passengers!

"I'm not even going to attempt to imagine a situation where a search of someone's drawers or underwear is likely to save life or limb..."

There's a bomb in the building, 3 seconds on the countdown and they need a pair of pliers to cut the red wire.

Re: Good, but not quite right

I have not yet visited a site that says something along the lines of:

"This site uses cookies: if you want to download these cookies click YES, if you want to continue without downloading these cookies click NO."

Usually it is more:

"In order to save the whale, eradicate paedophilia, prevent global warming etc etc this site uses cookies. Click YES to agree."

And this is considered informed consent?

Re: John Nash, Ladia Diana, when will it end.

I'm a brilliant driver, 43 years no accident, blah blah blah. None of us set out on a trip expecting to be involved in an accident.The driving seat seems to be the last bastion of a youthful belief in immortality, it can't happen to me.

I wear a seat belt because:

1. I'm really not as good as I think I am.

2. Neither is any other driver.

3. We all make mistakes.

4. Any large object bouncing around in side a vehicle will do damage to itself and what it hits when it stops.

5. It is kinder to all involved if you make low speed accidents survivable. The other drivers will feel pretty shit if you die, even if it clearly your fault and you are unbelted.

Re: Paying people money

Its all about the money. Your refund started from the end of the month that you sold the car. The new owner paid VED from the day he acquired that car. Every car sale is (average) 2 weeks extra VED.

Add to this the increase in fines and clamping fees for those who forgot to renew VED because the handy reminder was no longer stuck to the windscreen.

Of course you also allowed them to collect that bit of extra interest by delaying banking their cheque.

Day time poop only.

Many thanks, consider me more enlightened.

"The Pi needs Windows like a new Porsche needs 500 kg cement in the boot."

Didn't some early version 911s come with lead lined bumpers to prevent some country side excursions? A bag of cement in the boot was also recommended for the Triumph Herald, Vitess, Spitfire and GT6.

He wasn't really trying, was he?

Is "transgression" Latin for horse?

No, it leaves your sword arm free.
