Do you mean curry paste?

Of course, Nobel himself set a great example by inventing dynamite.

Seems they feel obliged to hand it out every year. Far better to wait until someone really merits it - once a decade at most, giving the message that peace is a sadly rare and precious commodity.

Have to admit he hasn't actually done anything to deserve this yet. But can't wait to hear the spluttering, purple-faced rage from our usual left/right extremist posters. Let's hear it boys and gals!

I think Sheen's idea is a good one. An indisputably impartial, full-ranging, exhaustive investigation, calling the most respected engineers, architects, explosives, demolition and aviation experts in the world, might finally put this ludicrous piece of nonsense to bed once and for all. After...

I agree with Citygirl. Any organisation that wields power will attract bad apples and it should be a priority to weed these out during recruitment. However, it is offensive to make sweeping generalisations; most people in the military are certainly not pigs.

You believe this overblown guff, then call other people gullible!

Not I. I can't see Obama as being worse than any other politico. All these guys have to play the system, bob and weave, associate with dubious characters. You could say the same about Roosevelt or Lincoln (who incidentally rode roughshod over the constitution something horrid!) I sense a...

http://timesonline.typepad.com/comment/2009/08/the-most-extreme-antiobama-claim-yet.html Classic stuff! It's got to the stage where nobody quite knows if the latest Obama story is a joke or intended seriously.

Well I'm sorry, but I'm just trying to interpret what you posted - and what consenting adults get up to in private is fine by me! As for being a racist, I believe I only commented how Obama seems to get a rougher ride (no imagery intended) than his white predecessors - all of whom could be...

As I understand it, you are in favour of torture. Nice.

We Brits don't mind a good moan about our NHS, but that doesn't mean we put up with barefaced lies from foreigners. Take a look at the comments here! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/aug/11/nhs-united-states-republican-health Whoops! Looks like the barking-mad tendencey in the US has...

If you can read French you will realise that the minister says only that schools could be closed if there is an epidemic and there are no plans to immunise children, but the govt is keeping an eye on developments. No mention of compulsion, because that is a figment of your imagination. Where the...

No I'm not American. The 'centre' (or 'center' if you prefer) is where most people stand in any country and whether you despise them or not doesn't change the fact. You mention the revolutions in France and Russia in terms of admiration. Surely you know they led directly to the Reign of...

False. I'm living in France right now and a very cautious line is being taken. Where do you get your 'facts'? Do you ever check them? Do you believe any fatuous piece of propaganda that's pumped in your direction?
