    Do you think China is becoming too powerful?

    It is total B.S. Rome had to fight. Britain had to fight. The U.S.A. had to fight. You need to fight to get the there. And you need to fight to stay there. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    If you could own and name your own pub...

    Moonbase Alpha Customers will be known as alconauts Beer will be known as rocket fuel. Alconauts do not go to the toilet. They......boldly go. Alconauts will be required to do space walks when drunk for the amusement of other alconauts. Alconauts are expected to be expert in...

    Interests you have that everyone else hates

    I like watching cricket sometimes. Used to watch the locals play on the village green in Pirbright. It is also fun watching England. This is very odd behaviour for someone who is A) Scottish and B) has no idea what is going on. But the game does have some sort of strange appeal. I find it...

    Bizzare things you discovered

    I used to do this with small plastic ampules. Place small lumps of dry ice into several ampules and seal them. Covertly slip ampules into the lab coat pocket of a scientist concentrating on a very delicate procedure. Leave vicinity. Hear what sounds like gun fire in the distance...

    US bases in Germany closes. Do we need US military prescence in Europe?

    Sweet! Now those pesky yanks are out of the way Britain and Germany can have another war. I suggest we fight it in France as usual since we are both familiar with that map and the locals don't seem to mind foreign troops rampaging across their fixtures and fittings. When should we start? Tuesday...

    Where do you get news (online)?

    :) I like to get a balanced view of what's happening in the world. Between zulu and stormfront I feel I can't go far wrong. It gives me the edge I need in pub debates.

    If you could live...

    :eek: I'm already a runner! On second thoughts i'll just report to the carousel. A sessile couch potato isn't going to out run a sandman.

    Frist breaks with Bush over Stem Cell Research

    Einstein got something wrong. IIRC it was something to do with wave particle duality or perhaps it was his hair style. Either way he was certainly wrong and never admitted it. He went to his grave without truly grasping the concept of a haircut. What a dumbass! :)

    Frist breaks with Bush over Stem Cell Research

    I don't know enough about it. I did read that adult stem cells were very difficult to extract and that was why ES cells were favoured but that was years ago. Things move on, techniques improve etc.

    Frist breaks with Bush over Stem Cell Research

    I'm in favour of dumping thousands of criminals into a giant blender and extracting adult stem cells. They had a chance at life and blew it - stick 'em in a blender so that their cells might serve humanity. I'm against mashing up embryos for their cells since they are not getting anything in...

    US Forces evicted

    This is probably true :) .

    US Forces evicted

    Can't tell which of the big boys is winning or losing. But Uzbekistan is definitely losing. A nice military base in the hand with its attendant economic benefits is worth two in the bush.

    Desired traits for a long-term girlfriend (or BF), rate!

    She should own a brewery. She should encourage beer R&D. So that the brewery has new ales coming on-line at frequent intervals. This will prevent our relationship from becoming jaded.

    EU bureaucracy threatens war efforts

    So long as the suspect is required to make good use of the delay by fighting lions in the colloseum then I find myself at ease with European bureaucracy. Even if he is returned to Britain somewhat the worst for wear we may be able to divine the terrorist intent by contemplating his entrails.

    Told'ja so: Mugabe signs aid deal with China

    At the moment it seems to be cheap clothes that the world is mad at. To produce cheap clothes you need cheap cotton amongst other things. China is the worlds largest grower of cotton. i imagine they could switch over cotton production to food but why would they do that? Cotton is used to make...
