The one with the skateboard at the top of the hill does it for me..... :lol:

Maybe they hadn't invented counterfeit beige veils back then ? (though of course, counterfeit does adhere to the rule, strictly speaking)

I can see, on reflection, that my phrase 'Muslim-bashing' was probably the wrong one, and my point is more accurately that, given his position and that he can not fail to know will happen when he opens a debate like this, why is he choosing to feed the endless treadmill of another day, another...

Oh this is going to be like that bit in QI when all the sirens go off and the word 'fine' comes up on the screen behind me, isn't it.

Nothing at all, and in fact a very noble aim. However, on an open forum like this, you will get people from all backgrounds and its not fair that the most articulate could in theory always bulldozer their way over the less articulate. I'm not calling for a dumbing-down, just a cutting-slack.

Depends on your circumstances but I'd be tempted to put in the figure that you really want to make it worth your while changing jobs and don't move from it during any negotiation. It may get binned, but then again, that will save you from wasting your time interviewing for a job that isn't...

Wow. Thanks. Those General Discussion boys don't know what they're missing out on :lol:

I'm not one to pick holes, but if you read the link that you provided, it has the paragraph that you quote above, and then goes on to explain that that paragraph was misreported nonsense. Relying on the Sun for your Muslim-related news is a bit like relying on 'Boy-who-cried-wolf-weekly'...

I see your point, but I suppose in that case it comes down to how you feel about it. If someone turned up at my door wearing a Scream mask, I might find it a bit threatening. If someone came to a business meeting with a cut-out Burt Reynolds mask on, I might think it a bit odd. In my...

So what you're both saying is because you feel you've been done wrong, then others should be done wrong to too. Too wrongs making a right and all that ??

I was on a plane the other day and noticed that it had American Plug Sockets out in the galley and had been redesignated from a US carrier to EasyJet, which set me thinking........ A Boeing 737 is designed for short-haul flights, and is built in Seattle. If you fly from Leeds to Paris...

Instead of speed bumps, why not convert the street to a conveyor belt going the other way to the cars, with its speed matched by some feedback mechanism derived by the aviation industry.........?

Part of the problem is that, unlike say a pub, if you write something quickly and don't say exactly what you want to say, it is then down in black and white and people can, if they so choose, pick over and pick apart every single word within it. That then leads to arguments not just about...

This is only a story because it involves a Muslim. I could quite imagine a Jewish Officer, being posted at a Nazi Rally, saying 'I feel a bit uneasy about this sarge' and getting swapped with another officer and no-one batting an eyelid. In fact it possibly wouldn't even get that far as during...

Thought I'd get in first on this and be the first to say - What An Idiot. As if there aren't enough problems in this world without having to see him trying to score some cheap headlines off of an easy target and just winding up people needlessly. What does it matter to him really if women...

Sorry, you are right and I know it. My question should have read: Should their purpose be to discourage people from speeding, or to catch people in the act of speeding ?

There are (at least) two types of speeding to my mind, though. The one I was talking about is where a road 'just flows' at 60, and they then stick a 40 sign up on it and start nicking people. This should be solved by designing the road to 'just flow' slower. The other sort, driving at...

Maybe speed bumps aren't the right answer, but I am all for slowing traffic down by road design, rather than enforcement. As I see it, many roads have a 'natural' speed at which traffic flows down them. For example, in Leeds, there is a 6-lane urban motorway, running in its own canyon...

Seems like a non-story to me though. I bet loads of people in loads of jobs get to express a preference for aspects of the job they would rather not do if cover was available, and it stays a private matter. Probably only got released into the public domain as he is a Muslim to start the whole...

Sam Smith's pubs sell their stuff very cheap, even one that is right in the middle of that London. Seem to remember about 1.20 a pint a few years ago. Downsides - 1) Sam Smith's Bitter is not to everyone's taste. 2) Ayingerbrau Pils is their lager drink of choice and never has a good effect....
