Well, didn't see that one coming ...
Surprise at the news but probably none too surprising given what he did to his body ...
I misheard it on the radio earlier on ... though they said Mia Farrow had died and was thinking, 'when was she ever a Charlie's angel?' ...
She'd been battling cancer for some time but 62 is young :cry:
Certaily is going up ... and petrol's about hit the £1 a litre mark again ... :cry:
Big mistake driving to work today, getting there was fine but coming back took over 2 hrs ... luckily, its a wfh day tomorrow.
I've always been interested in such things but I think I'm becoming more sceptical as I go along - I've more faith in the existence of extraterrestrial life than in ghosts/spirits. I certainly don't believe any of the nonsense that goes on in those 'Most Haunted' type shows ...
Yes, thanks, I'll be doing that. Don't get down to THI often enough unfortunately though have been a member from almost the very beginning.
Is 'British' a reference to racial background - as most respondees here seem to view it, or someone who was born in Britain and is therefore 'British'? I would argue the latter.
Definitely go digital, all new cameras coming out these days are digital, even the pro-level medium format cameras (Mamiya etc) are digital these days.
Most popular makes for SLRs are Nikon and Canon (I use a Canon 40D) though Sony, Samsung etc also make them. Nikon's tend to be more expensive and once you've made up your mind on which make to go for, bear in mind, lens are for the most part not compatible (ie. Nikon won't fit Canon and vice versa) though companies like Sigma make comparable lens.
My suggestion is check out places like eBay as you can pick up bargains on second hand kit, especially lens which cost £100s new but you can easily enough get them for under £100.
A good magazine for learning techniques is Digital Answers, they also cover how to use photoshop etc.
Don't know any teachers personally so can't say for sure whether they're overpaid, underworked with mega long holidays ... but I suspect that it's nothing like as cosy as people think it is ...
They're not very local to you unfortunately but House Of Harlot, Fairy Gothmother in London are well respected and do bespoke work if thats what is needed. Also, a friend of mine, probably same height as you, swears by Lux Tenebre and has had several outfits and corsets made by them ...
Haven't been to Arousal in ages ... how was it the other night?
Not sure about the choice of topics myself, just seem like general questions about sex and nothing really to do with what the site is about ... whats the point of it exacly?
Hope everyone had a good time, my apologies for not being able to make it along this time.
I thought it a bit sad that Ming Campbell got jeered the way he did, he paid back what he should not have claimed but I can accept that as a misjudgment on his part. I do believe he is one of the few honourable politicians we have. His error is nothing when we look at people like Blears, Smith, Mandelson who clearly can't claim to have simply made a bad judgement as they were clearly defrauding the tax payer.
It's ridiculous that such a system even stayed secret for this long and what the McD executive said is right, companies all over the country have expenses systems that restrict what you can claim to what is necessarily expense incurred in the course of business ... there's no reason why such a system should not be in used in the Commons. Of course they have expenses most people would not - eg. hire of an office, staff to run it - and any new system would have to cater for that and STOP the scam of hiring family members for doing fuck all!
