Re: I can do that!

"30-06"

you'd best put a link or explanation regarding that phrase as elucidation for us non-USAians who aren't au fait with the terminology of murder and bloodshed

"If McGann counts, so does Cushing"

Cushing can't count because the continuity doesn't work. Cushing's character was an eccentric English human professor actually named "Dr Who", not a Gallifreyan Time Lord renegade with an unknown identity

besides which, the McGann film was made with input from the BBC and was intended to be a series relaunch (which failed to happen), while the two Cushing films were nothing to do with the BBC. The characterisations were changed enough to avoid copyright issues - and deliberately breach continuity, even though the plot lines were lifted from the TV series

Re: OK, mixed feelings about this...

"The world outside must be a scary place for you, dear boy."

with Putin becoming increasingly erratic, and making off-the-wall comments about dropping instant sunshine on the lesser members of NATO, then the world could quite probably be recognised as a scary place. I don't think he's really daft enough to do it yet, but if his insanity gets worse, then who knows?

Even most of the ex-pat Russians I know agree......had a long conversation today with an emigree Azerbaijani girl of third generation Russian descent who has come to the west to escape the claws of Putins goons even in Azerbaijan - it seems they were trying to put the hooks into her while living in Azerbaijan - they were trying to blackmail her into working for the Russian state to obtain information

As for the muslim raving looney conspirators, yes they create a big enough threat to justify pre-emptive retaliation before they launch more attacks

" it makes Labour unelectable."

thats the trouble, it hasn't.

If anything its likely to lead to a resurgent labour party while people just listen to the sound bites and ignore the polices.........we're now just one election away from unilateral nuclear disarmament and the destruction of our conventional armed forces. We're back to the situation Wedgwood Benn wanted us in the 1960's - Russian puppets

What a thought......John McAfee meets and sleeps with Mary Whitehouse. Who was the madder of the two? And what would she have thought of him...?

Re: Cool!

"Arkanoid"

what does this phrase "living rock" mean?

I've never seen a stone with blood, or with a heartbeat.

Re: White Man's Burden 2.0

the bloody BBC overseas service, painting its false portrait of Britain as a saccharine-sweet land of milk, honey, dolecheques and free health care is one reason why we have so many damned immigrants clustering to invade our shores. The BBC presents us as a land of gold and beautiful women, available to all, and the aliens - illegal or otherwise - want a piece

Re: Eh?

the problem with that theory is that the buyer is locked into a contract which may well be uncompetitive at future rates - depending on when/if the Chinese decide to release material to the market.

No buyer is going to commit that far ahead in an unstable market. The problem is not China's withholding material, but more the unpredictability of when they hold back / release material in a way which bears no relationship to market trends or needs.

Futures and long term contracts work in a unregulated free market. They cannot function in a regulated market where availability of product does not follow market needs.

"Specifically, the type of algae that causes a bloom is NOT seaweed."

these Chinese seem to think differently about their blooms....
