Of course once we move away from burning dinosaurs we the importance of the middle east will deminish.

True enopuh.
Sadly, all the money made from burning said dinosaurs is poured into promoting the burning of said dinosaurs....

But dinosaurs are so useful. Don't make the dinosaurs sad.

Did a bit digging via BBC News....
The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (Arabic: مجلس التعاون لدول الخليج العربية), originally (and still colloquially) known as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC, مجلس التعاون الخليجي), is a regional intergovernmental political and economic union consisting of all Arab states of the Persian Gulf, except for Iraq. Its member states are the Islamic monarchies of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.[2][3][/quote]Quote:

I hate wearing watches. Always feels wrong.
Then again, I'm hardly one for jewelry either, and I did have to punch a new hole in my LARP vambraces to make those comfier to wear.
Pocket watches > wrist watches.
I didn't wear a watch for years after a fencing "incident" left me with my opponents broken blade through my wrist. Thanks to my watch.
Then my wife bought me a very nice watch a few years ago, and now I wear one again.
I concurQuote:

lol profanity filter :D
indeed, that's one of the more amusing cases of "censorship" I've seen recently :D
Curses!
For the record, it obviously was supposed to read wrist watch.
It took me a worryingly long time to work out what they filters objected to.
it's not a word I'd immediately expect to be censored tbh... always thought it was just a shorter way of calling someone an idiot?
/edit: which, as I've just proven, goes through without any trouble... :D
Yeah yeah ;)Quote:

Bell Tent is a must, and for the look of it, also researching faux-fur blankets. Found a really nice Brown Bear one which looks nice and toasty!
it is a humour site, I think related to The Onion in some way
[url=http://shop.beano.com/products/bash-st-kids-appetite-for-mischief-mens-t-shirt]Oh yes. Oh hell yes I'm buying this T-shirt![/url]
What is worrying is that there are people who will not recognise that logo
Screw 'em!
They're not hip and fly like wot I are.
It is like people with GnR or Stones t-shirts and it is like you wouldn't know who they were if you tripped over them
I've often wanted to stop a spookykid or Wannabe-Punk in the street, and ask them to name albums by the bands whose patches they wear.
Can't do it? Off comes the patch.
Bring the bowie knife
Worst cycling kit ever (possibly NSFW, technically fine though) :[url]http://road.cc/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleria_600/images/News/Worst%20womens%20cycling%20kit%20ever.jpg[/url]
I would normally just keep it in the cycling thread, but this is so bad I thought I would share it with everyone. This is the skin suit for Giro Toscana an all female Columbian cycling outfit.
ok...
It is quite something...
what the **** is wrong with some people? sick sick *******s. I'd do the same to them.
(distressing and upsetting [URL="http://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwarren/facebook-refuses-to-remove-a-video-of-a-kitten-being-set-on#3tswgv6"]link[/URL])
As much as I joke about cats being evil that is uncalled for.
Exactly, as much as I joke about exterminating dogs I certainly would never do that to one.
But FB make me sick. They can display this but can't remove a bit of cleavage or sideboob quick enough, especially if you're outside societies norms.
Or heaven forbid you post a breast feeding image.
But the link is fine.
Facebook is a useful tool for keeping tabs on your social life - and it shouldn't be any more than that.
It's slowly becoming something of an abomination - especially with cretins like Britain First using it to spread their hate and bile.
Not to be confused with Britain Furst or Britian First.
Britian First are particularly amusing :)
But you know out of the three who is likely to be the last man standing on Facebook....
yeah saw that on Yahoo, a bit ah risky isn't it, I'd hate to think what happens when it gets wet....Quote:

But, given there's a great many question about the safety and wisdom of the process, why are the UK Government so hot to get started? Surely we're in a plumb position - it's all down there, and in theory it can totally be extracted. Question is purely one of safety (and screw the NIMBYs, and their house prices. Needs of the many!). Why don't we kick back, and see what happens to those countries cracking with the fracking?
That way, any Chernobylesque whoopsies don't happen to us, and we can learn from mistakes the easy way, and likely wind up with a more up to date and efficient Fracking industry?
I just think more fossil fuel type stuff is pointless. regardless of whether or not it is safe, why bother? the government should be getting on the tidal, solar etc. and forgetting this fracking nonsense.
Call me a cynic but I think it's about the money that is to be made.Quote:
