Agred. And why do they so often disfigure themselves with tattoos? I've never seen one woman who looks better with them. Fact is, women are good to look at in order to attract a mate and further the species.

I won't bare with you(that's the job of the models!) but am quite happy to bear with you :) Sounds like one hell of a job and thanks for taking it on.

One interesting entry was this one; what changes he must have seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederica_Sagor_Maas

What happened to her? At one time were were sending each other e mails and then she seemed to vanish without trace.

It isn't the customers' business how much the staff are paid.That's a matter between them and their employers.Same as buying cheap clothing, do you send the factory workers a tip? The craziness of the system though is the percentage basis.You leave $2 for a $7 drink and $1.50 for a $4.50 drink...

Where did you get hold of this idea?America was founded on the principle that the people choose what sort of country they want.Free enterprise is a wonderful thing but it isn't enshrined in the Constitution. As for bailing out industries it's probably protected the livelihoods of a lot of...

Thanks for the posting but Sharing Matrix just isn't delivering the goods.Every 10 minutes it asks me to wait another 9 minutes 57 seconds and this has continued all day. I know RS has its issues but at least it works :)

The point is that it's an excellent resource.I have a premium account which is downright cheap (so cheap that it isn't worth not having it if you follow my reasoning) I know there are many other hosts but as RS is far and away the most widely used it doesn't make sense to have a premium account...

Regarding the UK, farmers are permitted to have shotguns.They must be kept in a secure gun safe and only the licence holder can know where the key is kept.Sometimes the police visit when the licence holder is out and ask to inspect the weapon;if someone provides the key the shotgun is impounded...

To put things into perspective , even with criminal gangs and drug turf wars we are only talking about 60 gun deaths a year in the whole of the UK.It's so rare that police actually record the number of shots fired by illegal weapons and in many cities and counties it's in single figures PER...

This argument gets trotted out all the time and remains as specious and as flawed as ever.The trouble with it is it's perfectly true until you think about it.Tools are made to facilitate things.Guns are designed to kill and injure though they do serve other more trivial ends like target...

I'm an unashamed drink snob.I drink cask beer through choice because nothing out of a bottle comes remotely near.I'm very partial to decent wine (not the sort of crap sold off in supermarkets), in particular wines from Burgundy and the Rhone.Whisky , yes I love good single malt Scotch. If the...

I was talking about bars, in particular pubs which in the UK have to display prices in a prominent place and this price is what you pay and all you pay.Occasionally the bar staff will be offered "one for yourself?" when ordering; most often this will be declined with thanks, it really depends if...

Tipping bar staff is peculiar to North America and is a ridiculous system.Elsewhere in the world the service is part of the price of the drink and the staff are payed a proper wage.Bar work isn't rocket science, I've done it myself, and it doesn't justify a dollar just to fill a glass or take...
