Nick nack was a side kick more than an actual villian.

He was Skaramnga's man servant.

So he was an evil servant.

doesn't make it any less funny, but these things should stop tryin to be passed as "real", but define real I suppose.

Oh this is so funny...what? viral video you say?

Really?

Yup it's one of them "what the hell is this meant to advertise?" moments.

Also I don't think the parabola of the stone throw actually makes sense. It bounces off the glass and seems to angle up.

Also the whole thing reeks of staged.

Not a loser at all.

If you can grow a bearsd, why not try out all the beards.

I liked the Anchor, as it makes him look like Aker Bilk.

I ha ve to say, who ever writes the head lines for these articles sems to always be making pronouncements about the WORLD whenmeaning the USA.

I am sure Mr Buckles wouldn't go around saying he's the last veteran, as it would be disrespectful of all the other veterans.

Franz Kunstler for one. Forgot that Germany has it's veterans too? Who are equally venerated.

The ANZACs still have a few "diggers" who march out every 25th of April.

Italy canada, the UK, Australia and USA al;l have veterans aged 107 or more.

There are also vets from Poland Finland and the Ukraine.

But hey the US is the country that with out a hint of self awareness holds an annual World series to which no one else is invited save Canada.

that sounds alright to me.

Roo is pretty bloody tasty. As is Emu, and croc.

what is LPG going for these days in Oz?

folks who own the big old Holdens must be getting it in the neck.

I loved my 1970 Kingswood 186 wagon., Dirty Pierre was his name and he was a beaut.

3 in the tree.

I miss Melbourne

that was brilliant

the dated look to the film is easily acheived, it's filmed in Adelaide.

Har de har.

though the girl who italian spider man puinches is off the scale cute.

I think of it as less of a Breaking Point as a Tipping Point.

The point at which people look around a nd see that the alternatives are right there but political payola , industrial inertia and share holder greed have all stopped progress for decades and will not assist in sorting things out unless they are again allowed near monopolies of any emergent industries.

The truely stagerringly awful fuel mileage of US cars is extraordinary.

The rise of the SUV in particular was The Big 3 auto manufacturers lobbying hard to have industrial vehicles excluded from laws governing gas mileage targets, then defining those 19th century buses called SUVs as industrial vehicles,ie TRUCKS.

That's just the tip of the ice berg.

The thing is that carbon fibre bodies, double glazed car windows and alws controlling all vehicle mpg ratings are all easily doable right now, hell you don't even need to abandon the internal combustion engine at all.

Really, if you trimmed the car weight down by four fifths, which is waht carbon fibre would do, and installed double glazing thus n olonger needing domestic sized AC units, you could all sit in proper sized cars.

A one litre engince capacity is only a weak engine when it is dragging a huge an=mount of weight, remove most of the weight and it's quite a powerful unit.

But if you used modern super efficient engines , the ones that turn off at the lights or at idle, that'd help too.

All I'm saying is that a country that invented "Armoury Technique" the fore father of mass production, invented the aeroplane, the modern car and miryiad other innovations, it should be humiliating to be seen as as such a technologically remedial bunch nowadays.

The gas prices are only so high and hurt so badly because you you use so very much for so very little effect.

Come on USA, you're the heart of the industrial world, implement the innovations that are already at hand, revitalise your own economy, make detriot the motor city once more, except this time a carbon fibre motor city.

It is all here, all to hand and all doable.

Except that you now have a feudal ruling class who would rather see you all dead than dream of relinquishing their strrangle hold on power.

And remember, the Bush family, and all their pals consider themselves to be a superior species to you lot.

That has left me with a huge grin.

You know, in a way MCGonagall makes me happy to be Scottish.

We are an odd bunch the scots, as we seem to enjoy our failures as much as we do out successes.

I think because either is a good excuse for a wee drinkie.

Mmmmm Gruyere.

drools a little.

Reason for low birth rate of Pandas revealed,

male pandas slightly more flexible than human counterparts.

nah, this is nonsense.

It's tosh.

I live near Dewsbury west yorkshire, and it's like Islamabad around here but the women all remove the veil in their own homes.

I saw a few musliom women having their pictures taken in a photo booth at the super market, and 2 stood out side whilst the third handed out the veil and had her pic taken. Then they swapped around.

They are for the most part perfectly ordinary people who just have some odd ideas.
