    The Royal Wedding

    I didn't watch even a minute of it today, not really interested. But it didn't cost the UK anything, it was a hugely profitable event, what with all the tourists flying in and spending money on plastic flags, fish and chips and everything else. If we had a royal wedding yearly, our finances...

    Now I feel like a local - our first lawsuit ;)

    If he's making false accusations, counter sue for defamation of character. Seriously...sue him big and he might have second thoughts. In Europe/US, if someone brings a frivolous lawsuit like this, you sue to make him realise the law is NOT a plaything.

    Big Brother Argentina & Grown Men Crying

    I knew someone who went on Grande Fratello...the italian one. You would not believe the amount of studio direction they receive on an hourly basis. Nothing you see is real. It's like looking at a photoshopped magazine cover. Smoke and mirrors.

    Twitterman Rides Again

    if it's put to the vote, they would choose UK citizenship first, independence second and coming under casa rosada rule a very distant third. there was also a deep recession in 81/82 but it didn't stop the task force being put together. There are always a few million down the back of the sofa...

    Twitterman Rides Again

    not sure. Now that blood's been spilt, both sides will become more intransigent about it. If the invasion hadn't happened in '82, pretty sure some hong kong-style solution would have been found. With a thousand deaths in the war, at least the UK would have to wait for all the veterans to die off...

    Looking for people in their 40s/50s/60s for paid writing

    I am well and truly within the requested age range and I was being a little tongue in cheek with my use of "seniors" :p It's just the nature of the site means it leans towards those above 30/40 more.

    Looking for people in their 40s/50s/60s for paid writing

    that's true but I understand how the world works and am happy to pay people for their time...it won't be a lot, perhaps only a "gesture", but it's something. Please send a PM if you're interested.

    Looking for people in their 40s/50s/60s for paid writing

    (hope this is OK to post here, thought about putting it in job forum but it's not really a "job" so to speak...move if necessary :)) I've noticed quite a few members on the forum who are in their 40s and above...me included! :D which is perfect for a web project I have going on. I would like...

    8.9 Quake & Tsunami in JApan.

    let's be thankful they are so well prepared. If this had hit somewhere like mexico, indonesia, etc, we would have been looking at 200,000 dead. It looks like it might only be 5-10,000, awful though that is.

    8.9 Quake & Tsunami in JApan.

    a guy appeared on japanese TV the evening before the earthquake saying the series of tremors looked to be leading up to a big one. He was dead right. What time did he appear on the TV...just after ten past eight in the evening...or for those of you wanting precise details, the first question was...

    Apartment rental....is this normal?

    I think I know which agency you are using (begins with "By" and ends with "T") if so, this post might by useful to explain a few things: http://baexpats.org/apartment-rentals-roommates/14027-rental-agencies-they-good-one-choose.html#post101637 if you really must have that apartment, I suggest...

    8.9 Quake & Tsunami in JApan.

    reading through that thread from last year, you realise that perry was asked outright at least 4 times by various posters to put forward a theory as to why he thought there were more earthquakes happening around the world, something all emotion-free figures suggest is patently untrue. Every...

    8.9 Quake & Tsunami in JApan.

    saying there have been more weather/climate related events in the last 20 years and then saying earthquakes are on the increase (which is statistically and demonstrably false) are two different things. Stop comparing apples and pears and hoping your crackpot theory gets through and convinces a...
