I should either buy warranties or wear boxing gloves whenever attempting to modify electrical equipment. I will go against the cardinal rule of being a male and say that I always read the instructions first, try to follow them, then punch whatever piece of cr*p I'm trying to install until it works.

Maturity is certainly more important than age, as long as certain legal requirements are met, but if you are both relatively young there is a risk that after a while the younger party will feel like they have been denied the chance to 'find themself'. It can also cause irreconcileable disputes when the older party tries to win an argument by saying "trust me, I've been around longer than you", or some variant. After living with someone 8 years older than me (we weren't dating, but were very close), I can tell you that these niggling things really start to piss you off after a while, so you'd better be real sure of how you feel before getting into anything heavy. Of course, if she's one of these girls that just makes you act stupid whenever you're around her you aren't going to take any of our advice are you? Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Not a history buff either, but I always thought that the Canadians, British, Australians, Indians and Spanish (as well as the French and many other nations) were already on a Western front, but yes, the influx of American troops helped a HUGE amount. Increased the UK's gene pool as well. This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead. Replies, insults, sexual favours and death threats to be sent there from now on.

Well, as an Anthropology student, I had to look into this a few years ago, and the general opinion is that we've pretty much stopped evolving. They can test this using mitochondrial DNA evidence which is passed on from the mother only and can actually trace the course of human evolution. This is particularly cool for those twat racists who deny that we are evolved from Africans, since they proved that there is one tribe in Ethiopia who are more closely related to the 'first' human female (commonly referred to as "mitochondrial Eve"). If I were a more conscientious student I would have a reference for you. But I don't. Sorry. This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead.

If you're new to drinking, try the Brownie Bomber (I always recommend this).

Mate, if the pub's open, how can it possibly be too early? It's when your friends and a pool table enter the equation that you have to worry about work. If you keep drinking you may find a worrying number of "therefore"s and "however"s creeping into your paper. This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead.

The US was a minor and latecoming player in WWI. The US troops, while fighting gallantly, were not involved in the decisive battles of 1918. Also, the general consensus among historians is that once Hitler invaded Russia in June 1941 he had sealed the fate of the 3rd Reich. The US did not come to the aid of the French in December 1941, it was Hitler that declared war on the US in 1941. Hollywood history, while entertaining, has serious accuracy problems. And as for 'Nam, that was a resounding success... I would never condone this, but if you're going for history as a means of pissing the French off, give them the two-fingered salute, or wave a longbow at them (since everyone's being mature about this and all).

Hey there - I just finished my Uni dissertation on risk-taking, except I used rock climbing as my field of study. I found there's all sorts of psychological theories to explain why people do 'dangerous' things. Here's a few of my favourites: i) optimistic bias: the irrational expectation that any negative outcome will happen to those around you, but not you personally. ii) risky shift: you are more likely to decide to do something dangerous if there are others debating the same decision, therefore you are more likely to take up skydiving as part of a group who all want to do a tandem. There is a lot more detail in this book, although I wouldn't recommend it for casual reading, I nearly killed myself it was so boring in places. This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead.

Well, since I live here (England), and there are at least ten different surveys every day, all coming out with different findings, I would suggest that the information you are being fed is selective to say the very least.

Tony Parsons has been talking bollocks for years, pay no attention - he doesn't represent the majority opinion over here. Most of us don't resent Americans, and most of us DO think this war is bullshit, but we will support our troops. Yes, the Daily Mirror is notoriously left-wing, but in that sense the editorial is presented to support anything and everything the government says and does. Therefore if Tony Blair had decided not to go to war, Mr Parsons would be writing about the over-zealous American desire for war, and how we are the only voice of true reason in the world etc. etc. etc. Basically the editors know they aren't going to win any prizes for outstanding or accurate journalism, so they hope to get in the governments good books, maybe nabbing a CBE for services to publishing in 20 years time. I honestly don't mean to jump on the moral theme for the thread (not sure moral is what I really mean, but it's too late to get the thesaurus out), but I just want to make sure any Americans thinking this is the voice of the British people aren't gravely misled.

QuoteA quote from Sky News: "Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton," UK defence minister Geoff Hoon said in The Commons yesterday. "He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr" says a British Squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr. Another soldier added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."Quote Let me see: shipping have problems entering this channel due to dangerous objects lurking beyond the surface of the water, and the locals crowd at the ports speaking strange dialects, desperate for the most basic essentials which their impoverished position prevents them from accessing. I'd say Umm Qasr = Manchester This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead. Replies, insults, sexual favours and death threats to be sent there from now on.

Saddam and George Bush meet in Saddam's palace for a round of talks. When Bush sits down, he notices that on the arm of Saddam's armchair, there are three buttons. They begin talking, and five minutes into the discussion, Saddam presses the first button and a boxing glove springs out from nowhere and punches Bush in the face. Saddam finds this very amusing and begins to chuckle. Bush ignores this in a hope to find peace. Five minutes later, Saddam presses the second button, which causes a boot to come out from under the table and kick Bush in the shin. At this point, Saddam is in fits of laughter nearly falling out of his seat. Bush is a tad p!ssed off but says to himself: "What the hell? If we can make peace then it will all be worthwhile." They continue their discussion and five minutes later, Saddam presses the third button which causes another boot to come out from under the table and kick Bush in the ballacks. Saddam falls from his chair and is rolling around the floor in fits of laughter. Bush tells him: "I've had enough of this. I'm going back to Washington. We'll talk about this in a couple of weeks." Two weeks later, Saddam comes to the White House to resume the talks. When he sits down, he notices that there are three buttons on Bush's chair. Saddam thinks to himself: "Bush is obviously looking for revenge, but I'm prepared." They begin talking and Bush presses the first button. Saddam ducks, expecting to be hit, and Bush bursts into laughter, but nothing happens to Saddam. A few seconds pass and the talk restarts. Then Bush presses the second button. saddam jumps out of his chair to dodge any oncoming attack and Bush starts laughing again. But still nothing happens to Saddam. Saddam sits back down and Bush presses the third button. Saddam dives to the floor. Bush is laughing hysterically, but still nothing happens. Saddam decides that he's had enough and says: "Fook this, I'm going back to Baghdad." Through tears of laughter, Bush says: "What Baghad?" This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead.

Answering many questions - like most scousers I am a mixed bag: Dad is Scottish, Mum is Scottish/Irish. I have a Scottish surname, a kilt and am descended from people in Braveheart (I have more proof than this), so I think it counts. Yet I support England in the world cup - strange. No, I don't know Ringo, if you mean the ex-Beatle, but if he is someone on this forum, I don't know him either. Mike, I don't know who this Zeemax fella is, but I might give him a holler. Ian would probably think I'm a bit of a ponce if I asked him to order belts for us - he still probably has doubts after I turned up to the DZ in 38 knot winds trying to jump!!!

I used to watch this show called the Greatest American Hero on Saturday mornings (anyone remember it?), and one day I got the piece of cardboard you find in the packaging of new shirts, tied a piece of string to it, put it round my neck, and hurled myself from the top of my climbing frame/jungle gym.
