If you get your wish and Scotland becomes independent, will I get the choice to remain British or will I have to join your clans etc??
There are a lot of conspiracy theories out there - some which i believe there is more going on behind the scenes than let on, i.e. 9/11; and some which are a bit too far fetched, i.e. The Illuminati. However not too long ago, i was talking to somebody who works in the public sector, who after a few...
Embarrassed to admit it, being both a man of high culture and an avid reader, but I've never actually been to this. I'm usually either working away or on holiday during the fesitval. This year I've resolved to be in town and bought tickets for Steven Berkoff, Irvine Welsh and Amnesty...

The Fish article got me wondering -is Midge (Why-did-Bob-get-a-knighthood-and-not-me) Ure a Hibs fan? Bit of a random question. I heard that his 80s colleague, Steve Strange supports Cardiff and can be regularly seen shaking his bovril all over his lap in the stands at Ninian Park. Are...

For? Against? Saw one close up in South Africa. Apparantly very dangerous, but I quite like the prehistoric-armoured car thing they have going on.

I hadn't heard of it previously but read the BBC article here, this morning. :wink: Ah another conspiracy theory, this one sounds feasible though, especially when you hear who rented/used that particular tower, tower :7: You can watch the vid of its collapse and it does look like a controlled...

Don't know if this is the right forum for this - move it if necessary, admin - but I see that Sir Tom is on radio 4 on Wednesday, talking about the house he grew up in. A tenement in Leith apparently. 9am on Wednesday, and if you miss it then there's a chance to miss it again at 9.30pm.

I've been clearing out my garage and I've found hundreds of beer mats I used to collect about 30 years ago. Do people still collect these things? Would they be worth anything to a charity shop maybe? Or should I set fire to them in a ritual cleansing of my past?
Ok i have been off work for the past 2 weeks and have just been browsing alot on the net. My post is going to basically cover most of what i have seen. The world is heading to a one world government ruled by the elite. This will be brought about through the UN, EU, Asian Union, African...

I cannot stand Tom-toms. They are complete bullsh&t. Last night, I drove behind some fool who was following his tom-tom, going about 10 miles an hour on a very clear road, obviously gazing at his tom-tom because he doesn't have the wit and guile to find his own way in the world. Why are...
If both houses have a sky dish then can a subscribed Sky box be moved between the two houses without any bother (e.g. is it the Sky card that makes the difference so it's as easy as just plugging the box in)? Cheers for any help
