Yup Dave has it bang on.

But the thing is, banks know people are not like that.

If we all did the right thing we'd be buff and toned and live til we're 120 and ride bicycles to work and etc etc etc

We're not, so they lay on the temtation and Wham they reap the rewards.

I find them depressingly awful.

according to Wiki it's still on the books

Swedes call the damndest things Cider.

In the Lord Nelson in Karlshamn Sweden I had something that was called Cider but purpoted to be made from Cactus and indeed tasted like booze and aloe vera, it was the damndest thing.

You get a hang over but also a moisturised liver.

Gisen

REally? since when was Not Proven removed?

I like Scots law, the right to trial by combat was on the statutes until the mid 80s.

Wikipedia here I come.

these people are either the worlds BEST catholics or the worlds SLOPPIEST protestants.

nice idea

UGLY damn lino.

it's that crappy "marbled" rubbish.

Yuck.

Also incredibly badly done.

Look at how bowed out the individual parts are.

I suspect this ii either half done only pretend.

has no one else noticed that the NYPD police chief is 60?

That guy is 60 years old?

My god he looks half that.

I know black guys age very well, but frankly this looks more like the picture of Dorian Gray than evolutionary good fortune and clean living.

I'm over 20 years his junior and look like his Dad..except white.

AS for racism, yeah sure there was probably a bit, but as soon as some one shouts GUN cops tewnd to spring into action regardless.

If they hadn't responded to a gun warning they'd be in a lot of trouble.

Better to draw down on a friendly than be thought a NON racist, but in the past tense.

Also there is the unpleasent truth that a disproprtionate amount of crime is perpetrated by black men.

It's no doubt a symptom of a more fundamental inequality and deeper seated racism but if you were a copper on the street I think that you'd no longer care about such niceties regardless of whether you were black or white.

Hell no one is perfect, and we tend to get less so when some we feel our lives are threatened.

are none of you familiar with the notion of ECONOMIES OF SCALE.

If you hand built any car, be it a Pacer to Mr Bean's Mini, it'd probably cost oh about $36,000.

But no, it can't just be as simple as that, it's the Greens out to stiff you working Joes.

But it is as ugly as sin.

firstly, the PM is Scottish, he is the PM of the UK.

But then again, so was the last PM.

Yes Blair was Scottish too.

If the US car market(and the customers) had moved on the idea that fuel economy is in fact agood thing then you'd all need a lot less and the price wouldn't be so scary.

The average american car is several tons of steel with an automatic transmission and a 4 litre engine.

And there is one for every citizen in the US.

In Europe cars a re a LOT smaller, with smaller engines and manual transmissions.

NOw EU cars are VERY far from green, but compared to the gluttonous consumption and frankly crappy standards of design and fuel efficiency, European cars are a Ralph Nader wet dream where diaphonous vehicle cruise around fuelled only by The smiles of Care Bears and the good kharma of Unicorns.

The atrocious SUV things you lot drive are should shame a nation with such a great engineering back ground.

I always hear about how you guys should be leading the world, well LEAD.

It leaves me amazed that men can exist that could NOT do a lot of these things.

3. Take a photo

Art,

I really am regularly left amazed at the things you post.

It seems that unless a peson is gargling the blood of unicorns from the scooped out skull of Fidel Castro whilst revving the biggest and dirtiest engine in the world they are Communists to you.

I just don't understand how you can reach the key board, as your feet are so far out of contact with terra firma.

Sid Morrison

As far as I know it was just your standard Thanksgiving.

But it seems that mashed potato was sweet, the mashed sweet potatos were under what turned out to be brown sugar the supposedly tart cranberry sausce had been sweetened to the point of inducing diabetes.

Just every single thing was sweet.

Sofar

Sorry if you felt I was doign you down, I was really just amazed and a little appalled.

but then, I'm a Scot so there's probably a lot of my homes cuisine which would cause comment...hell probably gagging too.

the sculpture is by Botero, I love this stuff
