Quote from BIzO :Just tell your opinion Smile

Why? Not enough griping and whining going on already for you that you feel you HAVE to try to start the fight again? Enough is enough. If all you can do is contribute negativity to this forum, then don't contribute!

This thread is closed and these pathetic lines of bitching and complaining about anything and everything MUST stop. This community is a million times better than the gripey, whingy, moany impression you're promoting. Give it a rest already.

Quote from Gil07 :It's sad to see the state this community is in.

I hope nobody thinks that the moaners are representative of the community because they certainly are not. Remember the saying, "An empty vessel makes the loudest noise".

Jak, Ali is saying that staying at home will affect your student loan entitlement massively. Your calculations are faulty, being based on in-halls entitlement while weighing up at-home options.

If you don't take the halls option your entitlement will hang in the air rather like a brick doesn't. You need to talk to the Student Loans Co. tomorrow and find out what your entitlement would be if you were based from home.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :I think they're pretty well-matched overall

This may indeed be true. I think the point spanky's making is that it needed to do more than just match the D300. It has to push through the boundaries of what is achievable. What Canon and Nikon invariably do, when they release a new camera - even a bottom-of-the-range consumer camera - is take the current level of for-the-price expectations for a camera of that entry-point and give them a kicking. A really GOOD kicking, more to the point.

Nikon's reputation for doing this is so set in stone, it bit them in the ass when they released the D3x. The only thing they'd improved on, over the D3, was doubling the full-frame sensor resolution to over 23Mpix. It was such an in-your-face stand-still that Nikon faced a massive boycott of the D3x.

Pentax would kill to earn that kind of boycott.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :I prefer rain because it means I can look like a badass shooting with my waterproof body/lenses while the CaNikon guys scurry for cover or use plastic bags.

LOL! I know my Nikon is weather-sealed. I think we can comfortably presume Don's Canon is, too! I don't much fear even torrential rain with mine. Given where I live, though, that's fortunate to say the least

Quote from Don :That's why i prefer rain on rallies - nice soft light without harsh shadows and reflections.

Not to mention the damping effect of the rain on the dust when you're swapping lenses. Light rain is your friend.

The "anything you fail to say now but which you later rely on..." is peculiar to the version of the Miranda Rights used in the UK. We call them Miranda Rights these days, but it's an American term. It's worth noting that the European Court won't uphold that presumption of guilt based on silence or refusal to comment, and ruled against the UK government on the matter in 1996.

The right to remain silent existed in the UK from the 13th century until recently. You still have the right, but if you're being tried in the UK, your silence can be treated as if alluding to guilt. Atrocious really, how much of a beating our rights have taken in the last decade alone.

Fortunately for Symonds, this is going to play out in Europe, and away from this feckered up legal system.

In case anyone is thinking of chancing it, if someone posts any videos involving gratuitous violence - beyond that which you'd see on Discovery Channel etc - I WILL land on their LFS forum accounts like the proverbial "ton of bricks". Bear in mind that this forum is open to all ages and the content posted here will reflect and respect that, or else.

Quote from Baltic Times :Lithuanian health care worst in EU

VILNIUS - lithuania’s health care system received the worst rating among the European Union’s 25 members, while the commissioner for health and customer protection, Markos Kyprianou, said that he regards Lithuania to be one of the most unsafe countries in the EU.An index of European health services, compiled by Health Consumer Powerhouse, an independent expert organization, was announced in Brussels this week. The report, based on 2003-2004 data, placed Lithuania at the bottom of 26 countries...

What was her name? What town? Which NHS hospital? What illness? What operation? When?

What was his name? Which NHS hospital? What was the illness really? When did this happen?

You want to debate this stuff? Then put enough information in to the discussion so that we can debate it. Otherwise it's just hear-say crap, and it has no place here.

If a thread needs closing either use the Report button or PM a moderator. Just saying "close this thread" in the thread is rarely enough. Be more proactive.

Went to Whitby again last Friday night, for fish and chips. It's a 3 hour round-trip but it's worth it.

Caught a rainbow, caused by the setting sun refracting in the waves crashing onto the rocks on the other side of the harbour wall.


One of the local pan-handlers. This git will swoop down and steal your fish and chips straight out of your hands.

I think Alan's under the delusion that binge drinking is new. It's not. It's just a new term. We used to call binge drinkers "lager louts". They've been labelled many things over the decades, but they've always been there.

And they were there LONG before the NHS was invented. They were there throughout the Victorian era. They've always been there.

Give it a new name, "binge drinking", and uneducated idiots think the whole THING is new. Simple minds.

Given the fact that you can't make sense of a simple socio-political connector, I'd say Tristan's question is entirely valid.

Why not? Because the statistics aren't published yet or because you pulled the whole thing out of your rectum?

Binge drinking is a result of a miserable and repressed society. It's nothing to do with free healthcare, it's more to do with CCTV and ID cards. Only an idiot would place responsibility for binge drinking on free healthcare. Jesus.

Quote from tristancliffe :Maybe you should give up karting and get a decent education so that you can get a better job and help improve society then?

If the NHS was gone, he'd be forced to give up karting since, according to his argument, the same reasons people get pissed on a weekend - knowing the NHS will fix them - are the same reasons people risk life and limb on crapped-out rental karts. His arguments are so arse-about-tit in relation to reason and rational thought that I have difficulty doing anything but pointing and laughing.

I've repeatedly been through A&E at Airedale General in the UK and I've been through ER at Lake Forest, IL many times in the US. The wait in the US was on average approx. 2x as long as in the UK.

My experiences may be subjective, but they are the experiences of a patient (and the parent of a patient).

Since Dustin likes to go white-water rafting, the hockey stick would effectively serve as a rather handy rudder. Therefore, said removal would be "elective surgery".. which I don't think is covered under Canada's health service
