I think it's important to clarify the direction of the looting. If my house was being looted, then there's No Way that that's ok. (My stuff, you Fu*kers! My personal property!) But. If there were to be rioting, in a society which celebrated wealth and ownership of expensive items, and...

Seconded. Great talent, sublime energetic standup comedian, brought a lot to the roles he played in films. Good range too, nuanced performances in Dead Poet's Society and Good Will Hunting. RIP.

Best not to agree with the dude with a Hitler avatar, it's possible that he may be highlighting the plight of those with a mono-testicular condition, but it's much more likely that he's a fascist. I agree with both of the quotes above tho, I've never heard of the woman in question, yet this...

I think ze Battenberg is also German ya? (although thoroughly accepted in Britain due to Queen Victoria, and house Mountbatten...) It is indeed ungodly in it's marzipan sweetness, but a damn fine cake nonetheless. Branston Pickle is, and always will be, a condiment. You're not supposed to eat...

DQ sounds like a magazine I would neglect to purchase ;) The fact that 6 year olds are as comfortable with touchscreens as 45 year olds is perhaps a relevant statement. Although perhaps not news... Now, if a 6 year old can sort out a multiplatform network linking Windows 7 OS to older...

2nd Kursk Tankfest recommendation (though only if I lived, obviously, not gonna recommend it if I burned to death, duh). Birth of Jesus / be on the set of the filming of The Life Of Brian (equally good) (What?) I'd like to witness the historical period when a lot more species of our own...

Portraits were commissioned by the landed gentry in times gone by (hey, no photos back then ;)) and while I agree this was certainly an undeniable statement of wealth, the artists in question would often use the opportunity to develop techniques of both brushwork and composition. Da Vinci's Mona...

It's an interesting point. I'm guessing that, to an extent, the purpose of playing games (and also watching/reading fiction to be fair) is a form of escapism. Appropriate considering the name of this site ;) These forms of fiction allow us access to an imaginative alternative to our...

Are there not 'museums' (and I use that term VERY loosely...) depicting humans and dinosaurs living together in parts of the Bible belt in the US? Are they deranged? Or just fans of the Flintstones? :) To be fair, that giant rack of ribs looked pretty sweet. Maybe us Homo Sapiens teamed up...

I always thought The Event Horizon looked kinda like a steampunk Klingon Bird of Prey. Not knocking it tho, one of my favourite films :) As for Culture ships, pretty sure non-standardisation was the norm ;) each mind chose its configuration, and with field tech, you could look how you...

Agreed. Employees should not have to rely on tips to make minimum wage, and in no way should employers expect tips to contribute to that wage. I believe a UK legislation loophole was closed not too long ago to ensure restaurant owners couldn't get away with this practice. It is usual in...

I'd always imagined them as being more ellipsoid, some GSVs are continent class, the size of a continent, contained within the fields. Mountain ranges on top, engines below, all held within the field envelope, equal depth top and bottom. Nice image though, respect to the artist. Best Ship...

If it was an unstoppable Zombie army, your beef would be exactly what they were after :) This is (unless I'm wrong) a musical suggestion post, with a mind to celebrate defiance in the face of evil and insurmountable odds, whether real or imagined.

I strongly suspect that it's possible to cook/present most foodstuffs badly. This is a shame, as it will really put people off trying new culinary concepts. I'm a huge fan of squid, I've had perfectly prepared examples of full calamari in Italy, light crispy batter, tentacles and all, lovely...

Liking the Shaun of the dead juxtaposition :) Not sure I could breathe my last listening to Bon Jovi. In a battle to the end, against an unrelenting foe (Carnivorous Aliens, Zombie Horde, or Reinvigorated Conservative Party Activists) I'd have to go with some nihilistic industrial stomping.
