Why oh why do we have to have a 'blow by blow' account about his time in the forces. It has dominated the news in the last few days that he is going to be training with the Navy for a month or so. Who really cares about this?

Apart from Hibs.net. I'm not a great browser, and apart from a couple of boring work related sites and some local listings for cinema, theatre, bars, sport, museums, pop music concerts that I use when I'm in a strange town, my internet life is sparse. A bit of bbc and salon.com and basically...
Following on from a post that kinda touched a nerve with me....what I want to know is.... Does Gaming Encourage Violence? The Daily Mail published an article siding with a complete lunatic lawyer who has been trying to get Rockstar North to stop making GTA (Grand Theft Auto) and Manhunt as he...
Great article about the ongoing oil crisis http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20011.htm
Since it has become all the rage is there a chance that Arnie the terminator could be the future leader of the most powerful nation on earth?
Simple enough, which newspaper or papers do you read and why. I generally always pick up The Guardian and The Telegraph, both are cheap at uni, contain good quality journalism and give opposing views on similar stories. Generally always have a look at The Sun in my works staffroom for a...
Guys,Gals, My wife has won a Bedlam Paintballing competition for 25 people. As we have no intention of using it as I have a broken leg at present and couldn't find babysitters for 12 couples, she has decided to sell it at a much reduced rate. I told her I would advertise here befor...

An article in the Scotsman is going on about new hotels in Edinburgh. It lists all the developments that are known about from ‘planning application to be submitted’ to ‘being built’. Although Mad Vlads old RBS building in St Andrews Square is mentioned there's nothing about the yams £51...

With claims the Asian kid who was killed yesterday may have been captured on film as a "happy slapping" incident is it not time the media acted more responsibly and reported it for what it was - a deadly criminal assault? Ok words dont stop mindless folks but should the media use the term...
Have to say I had always thought Private Eye were a bit harsh on old P*nis, no-one could really be as big a tool as they were making out. How wrong can you be? This man's performances on Britain's Got Talent are so jaw droppingly inappropriate that you just have to keep watching. For example,...

My mate has just been evacuated from his new flat down Granton way due to a fire. Looks like a similar situation to what happened in albion gardens a month or so ago. Someone's at it :brickwall
I phoned a taxi for my mate this morning after he had woke up drunk from the night before(bit of a mess, he had spewed on his shirt last night). We were at a friend's flat and he had his car with him but we weren't letting him drive home since he'd struggle to get to his car never mind drive...
After many years of debate and listening to people who know, the government degraded cannabis to a class C drug. Two,or so, years on (my memory isn't what it was) they decide to reclassify it to class C. Not in response to any hard evidence that there are more problems now than before being...
