We should be given a referendum to vote out the monarchy. In this day and age the monarchy is archaic. The reason they will survive is because they attract gullible foreign tourists. The monarchy in the UK may only be nominal, but still, having an undemocratic and an unrepresentative figurehead...

I appreciate these type of threads would attract some anti-Dyson comments, just like non-Apple fans give the iPad and other Apple products a lot of stick. If a company attracts a lot of anti comments by people who haven't used their products, often its because they produce quality products. I...

Its not a question of getting it x times cleaner, but what's important is that you should feel you have done a 'thorough' job at cleaning the carpets and upholstry.

The one I am looking at is £200 new but is £160 from Amazon warehouse http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dyson-Floor-Ultra-lightweight-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B0012LIU7Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340139111&sr=8-1 (its probably a return or unwanted gift so they are usually good as new). After I've received...

I have to admit there are an awful lot of good reviews on Dysons both on Amazon and other sites. And most of these reviews seem very impartial. I can't imagine Dyson creating fake accounts on Amazon to post positive reviews, especially given most Amazon reviews are based on purchases. Anyway...

The problem I have with bagged system is that I find the dust particles can start slowing down the suctio. I am therefore definately going for a cylender type where you just empty the contents into a black bag and ready to go. I also heard Dysons (especially the new ones) hardly ever lose...

Is it the name or are they genuinely worth the extra cost (quite often £60-70 more than what seems like-for-like competitors)?

I bought the Redway electric fire and it is really stunning in terms of the realism of the fire, especially because the water burning produces vapour giving it extra realism. But even without the vapour, the flames looks extremely relaistic. But the downside is that it, like every other...

I wasn't aware American armed forces had brought an Iranian passenger plane down soon before Lockerbie, killing most or all of the passengers. Did the Americans get punished for that?

It can also be confusing who is white and who isn't. I have been to Palestine and I can tell you I have seen some Palestinian people and also Kurdish people in places like Iraq, Turkey that look whiter than many Southern Europeans. The same with Afghanistan. I have seen some Afghans that...

Well, I am not denying black people commit certain crimes (like mugging) more than white people, but there's plenty of evidence that some white people get off because sometimes police cant be bothered to chase after white people for what they deem as relatively minor crimes. Come on, it's not...

Statitistics can also be misleading. Black people are more likely to be arrested than white people. This has shown to be the casein many parts of America, for example.

There are different ways of describing 'ripped'. A ripped person can be someone who is very lean with a thin body or someone who is very muscular but also has a very lean body. Clearly, Beckham isn't all that muscular, but he is ripped in a lean way with moderate amount of muscle. So, yes...

You said you don't need to be fit. A 6ft 25 stone man (if he is very obese)won't be able to play table tennis very well. You can most sports without being ripped if you wanted to. Even sports like boxing, American football. However, they will run out of breath and won't likely be any good.

There are also many female criminals, not to mention some male criminals are eagerly supported by their wives/girlfriends in that they do their deeds in the full knowledge of, and sometimes co-planned, with their other half.

Extremely impressive. CB Fry was another. Stephen Fry is also supposed to be a distant relative of Fry. I think there is some likeness there, but that could be just coincidence.

I always thought Lionel Messi looked part Native American. Being Argentinian, that's a strong possibility. As for the OP saying you don't need fitness for table tennis; well, I disagree. Do you seriously think Phil Taylor would be able to play table tennis? Professionals would run him ragged...

When you put it like that (that it is basically a fan heater in a fancy casing) I am finding it difficult justifying spending near £1000 on it. I may go for something cheaper (around £500 to £650). This one http://www.hotprice.co.uk/burley-ayston-515-electric-fire supposedly has silent...

I am buying this electric fire http://www.hotprice.co.uk/flamerite-alto-electric-fire for my living room and I would like your opinion on which effect will look nicer - the log or pebbles. I am looking for what would look the more realistic one in your opinion. Its an expensive fire, but...

Sorry to revive this old thread, butI am currently facing the same debate. At the moment I am think a nice looking electric fire with a very realistic 'flame' effect, but the only problem is that the fire would sit below my TV which is also mounted on the wall. How do I hide the power cable? I...
