  1. Say what now? They are both designed to make a hole. There's a huge difference between a melee and ranged weapon. Both a drill and a hand gun are equally dangerous. They both are capable of equal objectives which is to make a hole. They are both cordless Pass. I can't meet this level of crazy. Ditto. And crazy is probably a complimentary word for this.

  2. Mimes. *Shudder.....* Never try to eat more than you can lift
  3. That's more like it - some close racing! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  4. Ha - don't know where I got that from! I put it down to drunkenness Never try to eat more than you can lift
  5. Holy crap - I don't think even your criteria would have helped much there. What was that - a flash flood? ETA - never mind - just read the news! Hope all ok with you! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  6. Thanks for being the first Aussie who I have ever heard compliment US craft brews! We have come a long way! Ha ha! Stumpy is a Brit living in New Zealand! Yep obviously havent come far enough to distinguish between Australia and NZ! (I'm just messing - the flags are pretty similar) (And Aussie beer still sucks) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  7. I know the racing today wasn't that exciting for half the first and most of the second race, but watching those 40 tonne boats screaming along on foils is really something. It would be good if for the next one whoever is in control chooses something that is more affordable but still ultra high speed. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. Thats OK then. I think this is being pushed by Scottish and Welsh factions Never try to eat more than you can lift
  9. Just a general comment - Beer in the US has become much better than the "Sex in a canoe" crap it used to be. Or should I say, the craft breweries have become much more common and mainstream. From memory I have tried the ballast point, the elysian and something from stone I think but not that one. I can't remember the individual beers but I do remember that I didn't have a bad one in 3 weeks of travelling down the west coast! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  10. Nope. I can't vote anyway. I have a lot of investment and work in a business HQ'd in GA, and visit more often than I would like, but don't have citizenship/residency. Didn't know that about the poll taxes and licensing - so I concede your point. I'll do some reading on that one. However - this is not the same thing. Actually, no its not. if you are allowed - then it's not a ban. Let me reiterate, if I ask you "Are you able to buy a gun and you answer "Yes" then its not a ban. I can buy a gun where I live here (and have) - I had to jump through some hoops to do so, so it is not banned, just "well regulated". If the answer is "no" as in your example above then yes I concede it is a ban. Mine - and 75% of the US population. The small band of pro gun lobbyists however tend to get their way. you know you haven't even come close right? I covered this - it's NOT an absolute, whether you like it or not. There are conditions. It does not mean, anyone can have anything, anywhere, anytime. My apologies - I blame some very long days. Its sad that for the time being DZ.com comprises my time off! I'll buy you a beer sometime if I ever leave the office. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  11. A current affairs comedy radio show I listen to used to play a fanfare every time Sarah Palin was mentioned along with the tag line "Palin, the saviour of comedy" Never try to eat more than you can lift
  12. '"Banned from driving" is not the same as "Allowed to drive with a license."' SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.... Still waiting on you to educate me on that bit of English. I guess you would then support licensing before a person was allowed to vote? Passing a test before a person was allowed free speech? Proving they are able to 'earn' the right to a trial by Jury? As you well know, the 2nd amendment is heavily open to interpretation. Even now you can't bear any arms you like, at any time you like. There are no absolutes. My only point here was that you don't know what the word "Ban" actually means. If you can't understand that, any of your arguments in this thread are pretty much meaningless, and go along with the crazy NRA sheep viewpoint that any measure anyone tries to implement regardless of merit, to improve the situation in the US is a BAN. Nice attempt at a dodge though. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  13. actually the dutch was suspended for cheating. Did Larry just pull the plug ? Not as far as I know - basically just called time out for the rest of the day unless you have seen something that I haven't? They have the option for one postponement during the regatta.

  14. Sorry bad example - wasn't trying to go down the cars vs guns route in this case, Was just explaining that "Ban" doesn't mean what the poster thinks it does. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  15. Please explain how what I said would prevent you from owning anything. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  16. Lots of aussies, a few kiwis, couple of americans and a dutchman or two! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  17. Nope. I know the English language is tricky, but it's not THAT tricky. "Banned from driving" is not the same as "Allowed to drive with a license." Never try to eat more than you can lift
  18. You know the European Union is not a country right? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  19. That is the best you can do? Come on you missed out on about 15 stereotypes there Never try to eat more than you can lift
  20. Agreed! Should really be ETNZ and OTNZ ;) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  21. I guess - but the format would then be portrait wouldn't it? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  22. Hmmm good call on the DSLR - been thinking of upgrading anyway. What about a cat, in a shark suit, riding a roomba, chasing a duck? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgjB8xccF6w Never try to eat more than you can lift
  23. Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with ya there, Bob. If it's not a tool, it's a toy. The etymology of "toy" is "small tool." …and why do you know that one, hoss? Because, contrary to popular belief, he doesn't google all his answers......Quade IS GOOGLE!!
