    Poll: One world language?

    Those in the know reckon a language built around English will probably become the universal Earth speak. Basically English with lots of different phrases, words and dialects thrown in from other languages. English works well because it owes its origins to so many different languages and adapts...

    I never done it, I only said I done it so they didn't give me another Jalfrezi enema.

    Poll: New shot at the worksinging poll

    I would do if I had a job At my previous place of employment, we had a game where you scored a point if you started humming/singing a song and someone else continued it/joined in. Good atmosphere

    Manual Transmission Cars

    I prefer the rhythmic motions of accelerating through the gears; my only experience of driving an automatic unnerved me as the car continued to wish to accelerate when I wasn't pressing (or partially releasing) a pedal. All I will say is that when you pass a group of under-dressed...

    Auuuuuugh. Looks like this will have to be a christmas thang then; I would rather it was finished but I would also like to know honestly when it is likely to be finished.

    Poll: Which Model of "Xbox 360" is Best?

    Can't blame you, the latest 360 brings the big hard drive, inbuilt wireless and hot black funk of PS3. Only downside is Xbox live subscription (and no blu-ray)

    Poll: Which Model of "Xbox 360" is Best?

    I'd get the PS3 one. Or, alternatively, the new black slim one. Like the new slim black PS3, but shunted out of Bill Gates' electronic vagina.

    Question of the Day, October 10, 2010

    Big Ben. Because it's the only wonder that's just a bell. (But you get St. Stephen's Tower for free). And because city states always desire Big Ben. Everyone desires Big Ben I was amazed when I saw my Russian peasants reclaiming a stone circle from the South China Sea.

    Poll: Recommend me a console!

    Agreed PS3 gets the orange box, but left 4 dead is sadly absent. But you have a good P.C, so this is not an issue. I went PS3 ( slightly biased by the two manifestations of sony gaming computer that came before it): it's a better machine, no subscription for online multiplayer, blu-ray and...

    School can't bar 14 year old girl over nose piercing, on the basis of religion

    In my last year of school I was pulled to one side by our head of year and told I had to shave my (rather pathetic) beard, and that such facial hair was unacceptable. At the time, there happened to be a Sikh student passing me wearing his turban and, of course, flaunting an impressive beard. I...

    Good Metal Covers!

    Territory - Sepultura covered by BTBAM They did a whole album of eclectic covers (including Metallica, The Eurythmics, Motley Crue & Pantera) but this is the one I like their version of the most in comparison to the original. <youtube=xWpzWdGlM_c>

    Having Children...yes or no?

    I can't believe it took four pages for someone to point out the last thing we need in this world is population growth. We could improve the quality of life of 75% of the world's population within a year, within mere months, if we killed the other 25%. The moral issues with this course of action...
