Its a big problem in our towns and cities ... even in the little villages like where I live you can always find a group of youths sitting around outside the chippy or offlicense drinking from large bottles of cheap and nasty cider. Leads to a lot of urban deprivation, teenage pregnancy and...

Oh, I remember this one time Ice wanted to have nice highlights in her hair, but she enlisted me to help her out, which was obviously a major mistake. To cut a long story short, she ended up with a decidedly red tinge to most of her hair, which personally I thought was rather cute, but...

Hey, Welcome to the Forum! :) Phil

Welcome to Britain, no theres really not much else to do unfortunately, especially if you belong to the 'kappa slappa' generation of kids we seem to be churning out everywhere - thank god I was a child of the eighties and not the nineties :D Phil

Well I wasnt hoping for much, just one lousy episode to watch <sob> :( Nah, I'm sure they'll re-run the series at some point, maybe then I'll actually get to watch an episode :rolleyes: Phil :D

Actually thats not strictly true - in a normal war perhaps, but in a Civil War the same rule just doesnt apply. The American Civil War was fought for the most part by regular citizens who signed up on either side to fight for their way of life. There were few if any regular trained troops back...

Well I missed the first episode because I was in Wales (I'm not attempting to suggest that there was no Doctor Who in Wales, merely that I was nowhere near a TV at the time). I'll miss the second episode because I have to work tonight, but hopefully I can convince Ice to tape it for me - I...

Farce!! Tragedy!! High Comedy!! And thats just the Labour Government :D I have no personal problem with the Monarchy to be honest, the Queen works far harder than a woman her age should have to. Of course, you have to feel sorry for her about the bunch of lazy louts she's managed to...

Oh yes, around the ages of 15 and 16 I was very much into the whole 'drink more beer than you can handle and end up throwing it all back up' scene. It was a sad sight to see, to be honest, these days I'm a little more careful with my alcohol consumption (or a little more hale and hardy anyway)...

Hey, Welcome to the Forum! :) My advise, if you're sending your daughter to London, dont let Wabbit know when or where!! :eek: Phil :D

Hah, I've got tons of family in Nova Scotia, they cant leave the house for about three months every year because the snow drifts are about ten foot high :) Sounds great actually!! :D Phil

The short stories are really good actually, I enjoyed them all - they were originally published in various Australian magazines and newspapers. As for Hover Car Racer, I didnt enjoy it as much as his other stories as it was aimed a bit young for me, but I love the way he released it free...

Ive read the Redemption of Althalus and the first two books in the Belgariad (or is that the Mallorean? Whichever came first at any rate) - enjoyed them quite a lot, he had a very simple writing style, and his ideas were interesting. Phil

No, of course we're not - we're just as bigoted, jaded and intolerant as our forefathers, but we choose to direct it in different directions. Show me a man who preaches tolerance to all and I'll show you a liar. Phil

You know, for one long moment, I thought this thread said 'Books about Spam' and i was truly interested. Now that moment has passed, much will I lament it :( I'll go now. Phil

Hey, Welcome to the Forum :) Phil

It has been a loooooong time since I watched any South Park ... after the first series I didnt bother anymore as it just seemed to be trying to stir up controversy rather than be actually 'funny' anymore. If I want amusing social commentary in a cartoon, I'll watch the Simpsons. :) Did like...

Hey, Welcome to the Forum :) (Did you see what I did there!! Valiant crusader of getting threads back on topic that I am :D) Phil

I once visited my own personal mecca, a small town comprised almost entirely of second-hand bookshops - its called Haye-on-Wye, and is in Wales if anyone is interested. For a single day I was in heaven - I even found a copy of Hardy Boys No.13 (which was only ever printed in the first...
