saint francis

Offline for at least two hours now. There is money literally burning a hole in my pocket (not literally). I have a try with the phones tomorrow.

No it isn't.

As my mother always said, if you can't say anything positive about Mercury Thiocyanate decomposition, then don't say anything at all.

2,1

I think you'll find it's exactly the same size.

Perhaps as huge as my 'Heinz big soup' the other day. When I got home I realised it was the same size as all the other soups.

Once again the rules seem stacked against us.

I see it as liberation. My theory is, if you liberate them in as many different environments as possible it gives them the best chance, perhaps randomly out of the train window (never at a station though), then they're on their own.

So you have. Let's see if we can get a third.

Hardly surprising she wasn't believed. Most blokes can barely last an hour.

As mammals ourselves, (a category created by humans, you'll have to ask the cat whether it agrees) punishment for harm to another mammal of any class should surely be the same. Slightly less punishment for lesser species, perhaps in this order: GBH example maximum sentences: Mammals (including humans) 6 years Birds 5 years Reptiles 3 years Amphibians and fish 1 year Insects 30 days Life forms

I don't think anyone disputes that there's a differential, only whether it is fair to judge a new customer based on these parameters. I'm being persuaded that it isn't. An insurance company will still be quite free to choose whatever parameters they see fit within the law, locality, occupation, choice of car etc but these are things that people choose. Age and gender are not, and I'm not sure it is fair to charge people more because of it, even if either one proved to be statistically a higher risk. Companies will just have to choose different, fairer parameters.

I've skied in Åre which has virtually guaranteed snow. It was too cold though, -40 degrees at the top of the slope, and the skiing pretty average. If I were you, which I am, I'd be tempted to choose a well known high altitude Alps resort and keep your fingers crossed. Either that or try Canada. I've never been there so can't comment. Well I could but I won't.

Possibly second thoughts regards wigs and convertibles.

I'm with Europe on this one, if they choose this path, which I hope they will. Initially I thought that statistical analysis justified the means for pricing of policies, but left unchecked you could choose virtually any stat as a parameter for price. Maybe the Welsh are involved in more accidents than the rest of the UK? Perhaps those with wigs, ingrowing toenails, sausage fingers. Choose your category at will. If I was a seventeen year old male it would be nice if I was given the chance to be a responsible driver before it was decided that I couldn't be because of accidents caused by other people of the same age. At the end of the day I doubt it'll make a difference to careful drivers, more restriction on differentials will I guess push companies to shift the benefits in favour of no claims bonuses, up to twenty years maybe, which is fair to everyone across the board.

I couldn't possibly say, she wouldn't allow it as she regards it as confidential. "What's discussed in the house of saint francis, stays in the house of saint francis." she likes to remind me (with regard to local goverment policy, leaks, etc). So I'm left to gossip about tittle tattle like the rest of the plebs.

My partner is also well known in local government. Unfortunately she frowns upon me posting leaked documents on the local footy forum, so you'll just have to guess.

Don't forget fridges. He once sourced an above average under counter one with all the usual compartments included (except the egg one, but I'm lactose intolerant so no bother). Did you know you're supposed to let them stand for a while before turning them on? Nor did I, but I do now.

Before I go into the voting booth, I write the name of the candidate I've chosen on the back of my hand, so I don't get confused and tick the wrong box. I'm all for political correctness.

Perhaps we could deal with how these families you describe have suffered, before we should approach the legal arguement.

Multiculturism is inevitable as it has always been. Trying to keep people apart, to separate them 'for whatever purpose you prefer' is, in the long term, ultimately pointless and a waste of energy. Sure what people call 'extremism' needs to be dealt with, but we have laws for that.

Trouble is when these things get really hot and get fire inside them, they tend to melt and blacken the plastic. Can't be sure from the photo, but you probably need a new one.

I sing along but keep my fingers crossed.
