Try growing mimosa (sensitivity plant).
It reacts to your touch by scrunching up its leaves.
Burn the stalk, and as the 'pain' signal travels slowly up on the sap, each pair of leaves above collapses and folds in turn.
Walk across grass infested with mimosa, and writhing footprints behind show where you have trod.
Absolutely positive proof that plants experience pain, and why tomatoes should be stunned before being sliced (the silent screams of a tomato being sliced are really upsetting to nearby houseplants!)
see:
Whats even worse is the tourtured screams of Beans and Brussells after they have been eaten!

For countless years I have enjoyed Marmite on toast with my breakfast boiled egg.
I still do, although now I cut my own soldiers instead of having grandma do it for me
Over the last two years, I have noticed Marmite has become paler in colour. It used to be almost black - now it is dark brown.
It has also become "stickier" ie it used to have the texture of cold butter, but now it is the consistency of treacle, amd leaves a long messy "tail" between knife and jar.
I have also noticed it does not seem to taste as strong as in the past.
Before I write to Unilver, demanding an explanation, the firing of their Marmite formulation manager and the formal castration of their directors, I would like some other opininions from those who have enjoyed this product for many years. Is it my imagination, or is it less "strong" than in the past?
Marmite used to have a slogan "Too much spoils the flavour"
That has disappeared, possibly because some accountant feared it would reduce consumption, or maybe they are diluting the product so that you now have to use more (at the same price)
Gimme some ammunition please!
I can not say I have noticed, Its always been a bugger to spread, but on toast with proper butter its great!
Im going to have to check your findings and get back to you

Chesters is the thread size important? it seems that the parts go together to make a press and Puller a bit of old steam 2" steam barrel and a G cramp would effect the same result, I find it odd that the internal diameter of that Bush houseing would be imperial what with Volvos being Europian cars, can you make the same rig in Metric eqivalant parts?
Try googleing Yateson Stainless they do mild steel fittings as well.

Yes we do

A man came home from work, sat down in his favourite chair, turned on the TV, and said to his wife, "Quick! Bring me a beer before it starts!"
She looked a little puzzled, but brought him a beer.
When he finished it, he said, "Quick! Bring me another beer! It's gonna start!"
This time she looked a little angry, but brought him a beer.
When it was gone, he said, "Quickly! Another beer! It's gonna start any second!"
"That's it!" She blows her top. "You bastard! You waltz in here, flop your fat ass down, don't even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave! Don't you realize that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?"
The husband sighed. "Oh ****. It's started."

You're right about Phillips (in my opinion), he's a disgrace.
I can't answer your question but probably for the same reason that we don't have a National White Police Association!
We did have for years! untill the the forming of the National black police assosisation, if the Police Federation had done its job properly in the early days, one association would have fitted the bill excuse the pun.
as for the joke even an old lefty like me would struggle finding that offensive

Man Flu - The Facts...
1. Man-Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irrefutable
scientific fact*.
*(Based on a survey of over 100,000 men.)
2. Man-Flu is not 'just a cold'. It is a condition so severe that the
germs from a single Man-Flu sneeze could wipe out entire tribes of
people living in the rainforest. And probably loads of monkeys too.
3. Women do not contract Man-Flu. At worst they suffer from what is
medically recognised as a 'Mild Girly Sniffle' – which, if a man
caught, he would still be able to run, throw a ball, tear the phone
book in half and compete in all other kinds of manly activities.
4. Men do not 'moan' when they have Man-Flu. They emit involuntary
groans of agony that are entirely in proportion to the unbearable
pain they are in.
5. Full recovery from Man-Flu will take place m uch quicker if their
simple requests for care, sympathy and regular cups of tea are met.
Is that really so much to ask? Florence Nightingale would have done it
6. More men die each year from MFN (Man-Flu Neglect) than lots and
lots of other things. (Like rabbit attacks or choking on toast).
7. Men suffering from Man-Flu want nothing more than to get out of
bed and come to work, but they are too selfless to risk spreading
this awful condition amongst their friends and colleagues. In this
> sense, they are the greatest heroes this country has ever known.
8. In 1982 scientists managed to simulate the agonising symptoms of
full blown Man-Flu in a female chimp. She became so ill that her head
literally fell off.
9. Man-Flu germs are more powerful than He-Man, The Thundercats and
The A-Team combined. They are too strong for weak, nasty tasting
'lady medicines' like Lemsip, so don't bother trying to force them on
a victim of Man-Flu.
10. While it may seem like a Man-Flu sufferer is just lying around
enjoying 'Diagnosis Murder' it is a commonly recognised medical fact
that the exact pitch and frequency of Dick Van Dyke's voice has
remarkable soothing powers.
Every minute in this country one man is struck down by Man-Flu.
Women, all we ask is that each of you offers them a cup of tea, some
kind words and your undivided attention and care. Then maybe, just
maybe, we'll beat this monstrous disease together.

What is going on?!!!
We were sunbathing on Saturday and it's been snowing on and off all day today.
I'm not going out there if there is a risk of ice around. Tooooo risky
The City is grim it is Peeing down,
You look after that Neck mate youve had enough exitement this year to last a lifetime

I fear she is a liar!

Winning the F1 world championship was the result of a lifetime's (OK, he is still young, but he can't help that) dedicated and successful effort in lesser cars.
As for the jibe of "having the best car" - well, ask yourself why McLaren selected Lewis as their driver and not someone else. Its a chant of losers generally that "Its not what you know, its who you know" It never occurs to these people that "what you know" will inevitably determine "who you know". Talent will out, provided that the "who you know" group recognise talent when they see it.
I would rather see successful sports people getting these accolades than some time-serving politician.
That said, groups that are grossly under-represented in these "honours" are volunteers in the various rescue services - Mountain rescue, Cave rescue, RNLI and the like - some REAL heroes there. ...and yes, long service carers should qualify for these awards too.
I agree One hundred percent with all those comments.

Good to Hear Tony I better get the fly rods dusted down.

We will all be taxed hienasly for years now who else will pay for all these bail outs? it will only get worse I can see a summer of civil unrest akin to the poll tax riots

OI OI,
You bottled that one phil, me personally i think they arn't worth a toss anymore as said before you had to do somthing outstanding to recive an honour, not film star's who also get a lot of money K.B. as well as enjoying what they do, & footballers who also get a canny lump (not that half of them should be paid with buttons) & to play for ENGLAND they should do it for pride & exspense's. it's not a honers list if you can pay enough you can get what you want it's all b****ck's. rant over
:angry: :angry: Thanks for that Bill

What pees me off about most of those awards, is that they get sponsorship and funding, mostly from the National lottery, and are never asked to pay anything back from the money they earn afterwards. That cycling team got something like 25 million over a few years.
Den
I cant see what the issue is? the sport is what is financed not the person one of those bikes is worth as much as a family car,
that withstanding these athletes ruin thier bodys for the sport plenty end up in obscurity,
Would you rather we as a Sporting nation remain a laughing stock. our expenditure on sport and the promotion of sport for our young is paultry compared to other countrys.
allso the National Lottery money is and always has been used for the development of the Arts,Culture and sport.
What is it with us British the moment someone makes it or makes somthing of thier self we start digging them a hole?
it bewilders me.

Poor taste is my taste FB.

some of them are outrageous have a look .
Mums Arise
Neighbourhood Learning Centre
North Belfast Women's Initiative & Support Project
Poplar Bangladeshi Community Project
United Somali Youth of Slough
Salisa Project
these are deliberately singling out groups ,if we are "supposed" to be all in the same boat ,of one country and all happily integrated why are these groups segregated out and rewarded ,the womens one especialy since theres supposed to be sexual equality therefore just having a womens group should be illegal? ,just a few theres plenty more!!
i have nothing against an area or age group being singled out but getting money because they are foreign or have foreign heritage or even a woman is obscene ,its time the charity laws were tightened up and most expelled especially the big ones who are infact nothing more than multimillion pound companies not paying tax
this one is amusing
Sikh Nari Manch UK supports older asian women to stop them getting lonlely ,if they fooking learnt english and got out more perhaps they wouldn't be! there a cure for F all
If groups wernt targeted,
Charity would be non existant, by definition
I dont begrudge a few Bob to A lonley old Women Asian or other wise Why would I, If I couldnt afford it I wouldnt do it.
Obsene is a strange chioce of word to decribe acts of kindness, As a white striaght healthy English/Irish male who has never had a hand out is his life I realise that I am not first in line for Charity of any sort that pleases me, I am thankfull that I dont need help not bitter that other poeple do.
