Sorry Will, but the fact that the rate for gun homicide is 100% higher in the US than the UK tends to disprove your theory. Yes only criminals have guns, but criminals still find it very hard to get hold of guns.

As for your assertion on knife crime, again the knife homicide rate in the UK is lower than the US.

There are a lot of arguments against outlawing firearms, but comparisons of the facts between countries with and without strict gun control laws make a mockery of those arguments.

It's sort of ironic that back when everybody had loads of VHS tapes there were companies who would sell you VHS cases that looked like leather bound books. Now you can get books that look like VHS cassettes.

Anywhere else in the world? Sorry, but the UK is far from being the only country where guns are only allowed to the police and military.

But your logic is a sight worse than that. In a country where gun ownership is simple then you can be pretty sure that Millington would have been carrying a gun and would have almost certainly have shot Osbourne before being shot himself. So, Sandi, in your ideal country we would have ended up with two dead bodies, possibly more.

Remember the US gunshot homicide rate is about 100 times the same rate in the UK. Yup, easy legal access to guns certainly makes for a safe country to live.

For reasoning you can have an F-.

It's probably worth mentioning that a lot of that stuff had already been predicted by others and Watkins just pulled those predictions together.

And of course when you look how many predictions are just plain wrong it puts the accurate ones into perspective.

Lawyers *always* tell clients that they should never contact the opposition directly as it may compromise the case. Actually a polite letter along the lines of "Were you aware that we already sell a beer by that name? Would you be kind enough to change the name of your product." could do nothing to to prejudice a case against the originator of the letter. Lawyers however will always advise against taking such action since a lawyer's letter will make them four figures for ten minutes work.

If that breezeblock isn't actually designed for use in extreme heat then there's a good chance it will fail catasrophically.

Also what use is a toaster which only toasts on one side?

@mrclam I think the song you are referring to would be Kids IN America by Kim WILDE. If you're going to refer to mistakes then it would be a good idea if you didn't make quite so many yourself.

Oh and are you trying to claim that there is no east to California?

They are indeed caulking tools. I've seen them before, but never used them being more of a clinker man myself. Carvel built boats are heavier and less flexible, requiring as they do heavier framing.

An inconvenient size and shape and stupidly expensive.

Thanks. I now have the Mister Softee music going round and round in my head.

If it's BS can you explain why?

But the text on the page isn't comic sans. If you're going to do something stupid and pointless, at least do it right.

The only thing that could be awesome about any Phil Collins song would be if somebody could travel back in time and prevent his writing it.

John, the Millenium centre has featured in the show, both as itself and as other locations.

For example, when the Doctor parks the TARDIS on a space/time rift in the episode Boom Town it is right outside the Millenium centre. In the epsiode New Earth some of the hospital scenes were shot in the Millenium Centre, so people arriving for the concert were actually walking through the doors that the Doctor and Rose had used to enter the hospital.

So all in all probably just about the most appropriate concert venue they could have chosen.

My point was that it was splattered all over the interwebs a couple of years ago. That was just one example of the many sites that reposted it - it was far from being the original. It surprises me that there is anybody left who hasn't seen that before.

Next you'll be telling me you haven't seen the multiply exposed aircraft, the swearing crop "circles" or The Stig on Google Maps/Streetview.
