I'm really enjoying Heroes this season unlike most people here :) I actually think the whole season will turn out to be one giant plot by Peter to stop the future from happening. My theory is after he gained Sylers powers he created the giant complex plan and then possibly erased his memory (thanks ...

To be honest the way the UK and the US are governed are different which probably leads to the fact it is harder to become a pime minister. The US President is not the same as the UK Prime Minister and in terms of actual power is probably closer to the Monarch. The power to make laws, change taxes et...

****PLaying Devils Advocate to stimulate some fun debate :)**** I honestly believe though that the US would not tolerate a Russian incursion into Poland as we did in 1945. Poland isn't Georgia either...and it has the backing of NATO, which for all Russia's blustering effectively counters any threat ...

Rebirth of the Soviet Union

With all the news over the last few days about Obama I find it quite disturbing that almost nothing has been made in the news about Russia heading back towards it's Soviet Union ways. For me the first step was Putin creating the job role of Prime Minister for this term. In Russia a leader is only al...

At the end of the day the people who listen to Russel Brand know the sort of humour he does and weren't offended. This can clearly be seen by the fact only two people complained and that was about the language. Now the 30,000 who complained really should be ignored. They didn't watch the show and th...

Can you afford to wait a few months? Intel will be releasing their Nehalem chip end of the year (allegedly) which is meant to be Intels most significant change in Processor architecture since the original Pentium chip (yes that is marketing stuff but it doesn't mean its not worth noting) If your not...

I generally feel if you don't vote then you have no right to complain about the candidates. If you feel so strongly that none of them suit you then go down and spoil your ballot. That way you have shown that you want to exercise your right to vote yet haven't voted for anyone. Personally I think the...

I actually came back from the pub and watched it on the BBC website last night and I generally thought McCain came across slightly better, especially with regards to a lot of the foreign issues where Obama seems to follow a lot of the European policies of talking to a country when they do something ...

I have tended to find reading the Diskworld books they often get better the more you read them as I try to read them all in order about once a year and I'm always finding new jokes. Quite often these are small references to characters that are later expanded on in later books so the comment seems in...

From what I can gather surely the jets must have a great chance of making the playoffs now. I don't know how long Brady is out for but I'd guess the season at least which unless the Patriots can get a half decent QB makes that whole group quite open. However I wouldn't quite rule out the patriots ju...

No, it doesn't beep. Managed to get hold of the friend who built the beast for me and he's popping round tonight with a power thingy. Basically if it doesn't beep then it means either the mobo is fried or as I suspect all hardware is fine and it just isn't booting into BIOS. Try removing all your m...

Does it beep when it starts up? if not this is generally a good sign as it means the RAM and processor are generally ok. I'm also inclined to suspect the Motherboard is ok. The hard disk is irrelevent at this point as it isn't booting past BIOS and if it was a dodgy disk BIOS would stil boot and the...

how did he over-react?

If a 5ft 10 guy came up to you and threw some juice that stained your clothes over you what would your reaction be?

I feel if someone is going to deliberatly grief someone else they deserve whatever response their actions cause that person to do

to be honest I see nothing wrong with the response. It may seem harsh but she threw that juice with the deliberate intent of ruining someones clothes safe in the knowledge she could get away with it cause she's a girl.
