  1. I am not a 'power that is' but I don't think we need it. Things get pretty close to the bone in here from time to time as it is. [ 31. March 2004, 09:15 AM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  2. Sorry Alan but I think I must disagree with you there. Women can be plonkers. They can also be w@nkers, d!ckhe@ds and @ssholes. I meet 'em at work every day. [ 30. March 2004, 11:25 AM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  3. How can anyone drink hot or warm milk? Gives me shivers just thinking about it.
  4. You mean the candiru, a charming little chappie.
  5. Sorry Graham, that was a typo, now correct.
  6. quote: Originally posted by Vagabond: If you think the Canaries is dodgy, just try tropical Australia - they have fish there that pain and paralyse for about twenty-four hours - the Aussies in their whimsical style, call them "Happy Moments" Not to mention dear old Synanceia verrucosa, commonly known as the Stonefish. This is reputed to be the most venomous fish in the world. The sting an occasionally be fatal to man. Ugly beggars too. [ 29. March 2004, 12:28 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  7. In chronological order. Boston Tea Party, 16 Dec 1773. Celtic's first footy match, May 28, 1888. They beat Rangers 5-2. Boston Celtics were not formed until June 6, 1946 [ 29. March 2004, 03:21 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  8. Then it is put in a thing like a huge cement mixer with tons of steel balls in it to get it to a consitunecy like pink toothpaste!
  9. I got 4 Newt, with the Google tool.
  10. Like the guy said, some hunting is ok and some is not. Personally I think that hunting deer with dogs sucks, but have got no obection to someone going out and shooting one in the neck, providing that the carcas is for consumption. However, despite my deep disapproval I would not advocate the banning of hunting deer with dogs. [ 29. March 2004, 12:16 AM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  11. much fun! [ 28. March 2004, 11:48 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  12. -80 should be plenty low enough if we are talking Celcius. -80 is bloody cold. I have been up over the North Cape and into Murmansk mid-winter. It gets down to about -38C up there at that time of the year. I've felt wind chill down to around -55 or so there, but -80 is well cold my man.
  13. It must have been a while since you logged on to your Lloyds account. They have been posting warnings about these emails for weeks now. [ 28. March 2004, 11:44 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  14. quote: Originally posted by Lid: Actually Chris it does not have to be like this. We can still eat animal products and not accept these kinds of things. It is simply human greed that makes people intensively rear animals like this and treat them so badly. My grandfather and his forefathers were farmers. He abhorred cruelty to animals of any kind. I agree with you 100%. I was brought up on a fairly large mixed farm in Scotland. We raised Scottish Black-Faced sheep, beef cattle, and pigs. There was also a small herd of Jerseys for milk, (we used to drink it raw and it was like nectar). We grew barley, oats, hay, turnips and silage for winter feed. We also kept hens, ducks and geese, but not commercially, just for eggs and the pot. The people who worked on these kind of farms would find this treatment abhorrent. My grandfather, a shepherd on a neighbouring farm once pole-axed a contract clipper for being 'too rough' on one of 'his' ewes. ...castration and docking, but if this is done when the animals are very young, then I don't have a problem with this myself. Beef has to be castrated. Cows you see, are not on the whole not much good to eat. Most of the meat you seen in the shops is from stirks (steers if your on the east side of The Pond). You cannot keep 'heards' of bulls together as they would fight and can be difficult to handle. They are therefore castrated when young,using rubber rings. This makes them much more docile. It does not seem to distress them too much at all. They flinch a wee bit when the ring is first applied, but are soon back to normal. Their testicles fall of about 10 days afterwards. Although I don't like PETA, I see nothing wrong with showing things how they are. I don't think this is throat ramming and should instead make us change the laws on animal production. Again, I concurr. [ 29. March 2004, 12:31 AM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  15. Absolutely. Reminds me of changing the Pampers
  16. As I oft' posted before, the only thing I want to see banned is people banning things. [ 28. March 2004, 10:17 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  17. IMHO it is all just gonads! [ 28. March 2004, 10:14 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  18. Do you mean the ad with the little metal robots? That was a good one.
  19. Nothing wrong with adding a little spot of Dihydrogen Monoxide to your malt. It let's the flavour out. Never add more than the proof of the malt though
  20. Toltec Dreamer: A Collection of "Memorable Events" from the Life of a Man-of-action by Graham Kane, a 'must read' even if your not a dreamer (yet), Buy it online at Amazon or take a sneak preview here. The Dice Man - Luke Rhinehart [ 28. March 2004, 11:04 PM: Message edited by: corydoras ]
  21. I have heard that it loses a lot of its toxicity when mixed with a bit drop of single malt.
  22. Is the fan on the heat-sink working?
  23. I am not sure if this 400 gallons of sperm story can be true. If they we assume we are talking about Imperial (UK gallons) then 400 gallons are going to weigh about 4000lbs, which is a bit more than 1.75 UK tons. And if I am not mistaken, the picture is not of ANY whale but is in fact a whale shark! (Sorry did'nt notice that Davy Holt had spotted that this was a whale shark) [ 24.
