What does this say about me? Probably that I spend far too much money on DVD box sets.
Don't ask about CD box sets. I shudder to think how many of them I've got.

This will probably go down the same route as 'minimum pricing for alcohol' and all the other 'bright ideas' Cameron seems to wake up with every morning
:thumbup:
Will the new regulations be entirely on responsible adults putting the block on their computers? It will? Well that's it then, the kids will still get on line porn in a heck of a lot of houses as a lot of parents simply cannot be bothered, or simply do not care.
But seriously, folks.
According to the BBC News this morning, all new internet connections will automatically have the filter and the parents or whoever have to opt out of the block. All current internet providers will contact their customers and ask them if they want to opt-out. The idea is that you have to physically ask for access to "adult" sites rather than ask for them to be restricted.
Desi and I have been there a few times over the last couple of weeks (we're 30 minutes away). It is mainly a naturist venue. As far as the swinging side of things is concerned, they have parties on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings. There is a couples only room, a few lockable private rooms and the cabins for overnight stays.
The woods are there and there can be play in there. It can be a bit 'hit or miss' and to be honest, a lot of the play in the woods is m/m. You can see f/m play (if you're lucky!) but the majority of stuff seems to be blokes. You will find plenty of guys wondering about the woods looking for stuff that may be going on. I've found that they are polite and won't push themselves on anybody who's playing and will wait to be invited to join in. Having said that, they can be a bit 'full on' and get as close as possible to anybody who's playing. A firm "no" will usually suffice.
That's what I've found over the last 2 or 3 weeks, anyway.

Hiya.
Do you have access to the chatrooms? They can be great for going in and introducing yourself and getting to know people. They can seem a bit intimidating at first but stick with it.
Another idea is to try a Social. They are advertised elsewhere on the forum and what happens is that whoever is organising it hires a room and a DJ. Then people go and meet face to face rather than online, chat, drink, dance, act daft etc. There's no play involved. Anything that may happen takes place at hotels afterwards, if you feel like it. There's no pressure involved at all.
Hope this helps.

fault
teves was the same also
i dont think these people know what the word sportsmanship means
C'mon rob, it's not sport FFS, it's football...
Ya want sport, ya gotta look at ruggers. A real man's game. Football is for fairies :roll:
true G i must say i not seen or heard of flying boots hitting rugby stars when they loose
:rotflmao:No. There's no flying boots, just fake blood capsules. This holier than thou attitude from rugger-buggers does my head in.
Another vote for Bill Hicks. I got a cd-rom featuring everything he ever did, including the banned Letterman appearance that was mentioned before.
I'm also a big fan of Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly, Ross Noble and Spike Milligan. I saw Spike live on two occasions and both times, I left the theatre will tears rolling down my face and a stomach ache from laughing so hard.

Loving the revisionism in here.
Thatcher 'won' the elections but never with an overwhelming majority. Her (The Tories) figures were 43.9% (1979), 42.4% (1983) and 42.2% (1987). Each time, the turnout was about 70% of the population. So technically, only about 3 in 10 of the people voted for her.
The reason why Blair paid such a tribute is because he has admitted previously that she was his 'political hero'. She was one of the first people he invited to Number 10 when he became PM, much to the disgust of Labour party activists, particularly in the North.

A lot of this is just 'sabre rattling' from North Korea.
The statement about them being at war with South Korea is just words. Technically, the two countries have been at war for 60 years. There was no peace treaty ever signed at the end of the Korean War.
Yes, NK has nuclear weapons, but according to what I've read, they can just barely reach the West Coast of The US. Alaska has more chance of being hit than Washington and New York. If they try going towards Europe, they fall on Iran.
This is a link to a BBC map of the threat from NK's nukes.

To be honest, this was just sabre rattling by the Argentinian PM.
Her domestic policies are failing dismally (as is the Argentine economy. The inflation rate is over 11%), so she needs a distraction. And nothing distracts like a bit of posturing on the World stage.
And to be fair, the Argentines have never owned The Falklands. They were first seen by the Dutch, first settled by the French, then the British. The Spanish then took the French enclave over, but the British have had dominion over the islands for 7 or 8 generations. Of course, they're going to vote to stay 'British'. There was never a doubt.
And, as Eddie Izzard says, we need them for "strategic sheep purposes".

In my opinion, it should be illegal to cover certain songs. Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb only reinforces that. But I do usually like covers that try to do something different to the originals. Among some of my faves are;
Out On The Weekend - The Men Of Porn's reconstruction of the old Neil Young song.
Raining Blood - Tori Amos' piano ballad take on Slayer's thrash classic
Dreamweaver - Crowbar. A sludge remake of Gary Young's soft rock 70's hit.
The Easy All-Stars dub reggae version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon album.
Summer Breeze - Type O Negative's goth/doom version of the Seal & Croft/Isley Brothers hit.
Joe Cocker's slow blues re-interpration of The Beatles' With A Little Help From My Friends.
Jimi Hendrix making Dylan's All Along The Watchtower his own (see also Johnny Cash doing the same with Nine Inch Nails' Hurt).

Got my funeral music planned.
Stargazer by Rainbow (my all-time favourite track)as everybody files in.
Then La Villa Strangiato by Rush for the "few moments of contemplation".
Then finally, as I'm disappearing to wherever I choose to go, it's Life by Devin Townsend with it's chorus hook of "see you on the other side".

Some kids are intelligent and want to learn and do well in life, so they pay attention at school, go to college then onto university, while others simply can't be bothered.
A few years back, Desi (my wife) worked as a teacher's assistant at a school supervising 13-14 year olds and their attitude was summed up by one girl in particular. She said "I don't need to learn about anything, I'm going to go on The X Factor when I'm 16 and become famous". That was an actual quote and you would not believe how prevalent that attitude is.

So who is going to replace him???
All the talk and all the money seems to be on Martinez. Reading the comment on the various LFC blogs and comments on the Liverpool Echo news story it seems as though Sr Martinez will be getting the Roy Hodgson treatment from the "supporters."
No good enough, too small, no experience, not a big enough name blah, blah, blah. Who was de Matteo is terms of name, stature and experience? All that money wasted previously at Chelski and in the end a young, talented and hungry new manager got more out of the existing squad than any "name." before him and delivered two trophys including the Holy Grail.
Liverpool supporters seems like a deluded bunch to me. Not for one second will a big name Manager guarantee to bring what they seem to think is their right and any new name will be expecting a war chest to strengthen their squad which is probably not high on the American owners priority list. I reckon that the Owners are doing the right thing in looking for a young and hungry manager who can get more out of the team that the Club already has. Listening to real football people and people in the game, Martinez is very highly thought of all round and it will be a big loss to Wigan to see him go and a gain for Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers from Swansea.
The campaign to get rid of him starts here. :twisted:
Just better point out I'm not a Lolerpool fan, btw.
