  1. Everybody is going to die. And it's all your fault. That's right, you. Because you drive a car, you are driven in a car or you have used aeroplanes. Also, your leaving on of lights is destroying the world as we know it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this from some holier-than-thou position - I'm just as guilty so I'm told. In order to stop the ugly beast of Global Warming in its tracks Golden Gordon has decided that the answer is less road travel, or at least that roads should only be travelled in the automotive equivalent of an asthmatic tortoise. Fisrtly, of course, this is an utter load of rubbish as the comparatively miniscule emissions savings wont make the blindest bit of difference, even if global warming is anthropogenic (our big word for the day). Besides which the idea that if motorists are taxed until their pockets bleed then they will use public transport instead just doesn't hold up. Why? Because at the same time as raising car taxes, train and bus fares have also increased!Even if this were not the case nobody in their right mind would take a bus over a car - or could for that matter. For it to be as convenient there would have to be a bus service from outer Crowthorne to Farnborough 57 times a day and never mind the people that want to go to Scunthorpe for the day to visit auntie Mabel. It's just not going to happen.So leave your lights on, wash your clothes 2 degrees higher than you're told to, for the love of God don't drive a diesel and use your car as often as possible, even when there's no real need to. Burn fossil fuels in your back garden. Just because you can.Whatever you do though, don't buy a Land Rover if you live in a city. You just look like a prat.
  2. Wrestle a shark. Or a crocodile. or mayhap some form of sharkodile. I'd be impressed....Just make sure you win
  3. Heh true, Tony would probably just not have gotten involved. Until America did that is... Let's not forget that the key scientist on the Manhatten project was in fact a German. The Germans were themselves working on a nuclear weapon, were it not for the untimely intervention of losing the war they most likely would have gotten one. Either way, if Hitler had not of made his mistakes then it wouldn't have mattered if old Blighty got hold of a few bombs, Germany would have been so enormous they couldn't have made enough to bomb him into submission. Besides the early nuclear bombs were delivered by air, Hitler's first msitake was frittering away the Luftwaffe killing puppies. Had he not done that then he would have had an airforce to shoot down any attempted bomber.I suppose I stand corrected about Russia, but nevertheless Hitler was advised by his generals that the war in Russia should be over before winter and he certainly intended that. He diverted to the Caucasus iol fields in the south rather than make an attack on Moscow and the Kremlin, which Joe had refused to abandon - they got so close they could see faces peering over the city wall!3 is very nice but I don't see the relevance...Ok firstly, Poland was ready they had their army on full alert. Unfortunatly the two men and their yak couldn't stand up to the blitzkrieg. France was ready. Hell, army units had been training along the border for months to be able to raise the white flags at the same time. Actually the French military budget had gone on building a series of forts along the Alsace-Lorrain border with Germany. Of course the Wehrmacht just went around this and the French thought bugger it and gave up. Britain was the only country unprepared because Lloyd George was an idiot. 'peace in our time' and such nonsense.The other countries did not fall because they were unprepared, they simply lost because the German army was better.
  4. Well it is pretty obvious that global warming is happening. No real scientist tries to argue that it isn't happening.I do agree with you though that it's not our fault. Just because old Bob down on the corner forget to turn his light switch off, doesn't mean we're all going to die.Ice cores show that there have been natural ccarbon dioxide fluctuations as far back as 10,000 BC and even further. That's a bloody long time. Indeed, around 8000 BC CO2 levels were higher than they are now.So why is everybody so obsessed with all this green b*llocks? Because of oil. Estimates vary but the rough consensus is that we will be out of oil by 2080. And I tell you, without oil, the West is in trouble. House-burning-down-with-baby-asleep-in-flame-wreathed-cot-trouble. A baby who is covered in oil. So his Blairness, the Spotty Scottie and future PM's need to ensure that Britain won't grind to a halt in 2080. And of course all the oil is in the Middle East, so it gets scarcer, the Middle East gets more powerful. So they blame it on Bob and his light switch.Curse you Bob! You are the bane of us all!So we may still freeze to death, but at least we can rest safe in the knowledge that it wasn't our fault. Or maybe we'll just get bombed by Iran.
  5. Yeah but they got beaten down by the Romans. Decidedly not a democracy until later on, but even then it wasn't really a proper democracy.
  6. Hey garbage nothing like a bit of spam eh? I do realise that the 1900's haven't reached you over there in Texas yet so this 'modern history' stuff doesn't mean much to you, but just to try to keep in that little pin you a call a mind that some people have brains. Anyhoo, Kasm: 1. Yes, Hitler's mistakes meant that we won the war. We won the war because of Hitler's mistakes. 2. By winning I mean the Allies didn't lose. 3. Yes. Hitler lost. That is the whole point of my post... 4. Well yes Egypt came off better there, but the second world war finished in 1945. Hitler was dead by 1956. Similarly, while everybody celebrated America 'winning' the Cuban Missile Crisis they in fact lost when you think about it. 5. Well yes I do realise that without the very involved strategy of eating dogs and cats there would have been trouble...That's not a tactic. Let's not forget that Sir William Haig was commanding the British forces and he was incompetent to a level matched only by Nicholas II. 6. He was not in Russia for four years. He was there for one and only meant to be there for a few months. 7. This seems to be suggesting that everything would have been alright anyway becaus the good guys always win? The second world war wasn't, unfortunately, a tv show. It really happened.
  7. The hottest girl in the world is of course my girlfriend :POther than that, it would have to be Jessica Simpson. Or Carmen Electra, though Carmen Electra just seems so superficial...and Jessy is far too stupid to have a real relationship with. Ah well, nobody's perfect...
  8. It was indeed a top level domain I changed to, but I have waited over 72 hours and I still can't login. Nameservers are pointed at ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com.
  9. personally, I think that's rubbish that he's not interested in you anymore. Trust me, he'd have scarpered 8 months ago if he wasn't interested. Think back to when you used to have sex often, did you always do it when you both wanted to? When he wanted it? Or did it just not happen unless you wanted it to? I know this was the case with my girlfriend; it may well just be that he's given up and decided to accept it if it comes but not worry about it because he's not going to get it anwyay unless you want it.Talk to him about it. Do something for him. It might be a nice change.If that doesnt work, ignore him until he begs...
  10. Well I am sorry to anyone I have offended, which I suspect is nobody...Either way, it is all very well to say that it was the passion of the people that won the war - but do you not think that German soldiers felt the same way? At the end of the war, when the army ahd been pushed back beyond the Russo-German border and Russian troops were rampaging towards Berlin. The Russians were pissed off, the Germans were desperately trying to save their families. And it's all very well saying that the British alone toppled the evil tyrant, yet think about it: they were fighting on foreign soil for a country that couldn't even be arsed to defend itself. Where's the zeal there?Now I'm not saying these people shouldn't be honoured, of course they should - I mean, we couldn't have fought at all without them. Yet, ahd the German army had a sane commander chances are we would have lost.When you think about, who would want Russia anyway?
  11. I have entered my password, I have reset my password and entered the new one and it still won't let me onto my control panel, the login box just sits there. Staring at me. I know the password I entered was right as it was working fine yesterday and the day before. I changed my domain name before the password problem.Thanks
  12. Hello Jim -.-Anyways as it turns out you're all wrong. Yet intriguingly, you're also all right...A vacuum means not air NOT no matter. Space is a vacuum, yet it's full of these funny planety things. So first off the arguement that water could not exist in a vacuum because it is matter and would therefore make the vacuum imperfect is flawed. Flawed as in wrong.But nevertheless water in the state that we know it could not exist in a vacuum as there is nothing to hold particles together, none of that gravity nonsense. So, water could exist - but only in the form of H2O molecules.So you lose Jim.Oh yeah, you lose.Now I come to think about it I should have chosen the third poll option...ah well.
  13. It's true. The First World War was of course eventually won by a combined allied force, which after four years of war finally overcame the German Wermacht. The Second World War on the other hand had nothing to do with pioneering alliances or winning tactics. For starters the French tied their underpants to sticks and surrendered at the first sign of trouble which immediately took one of the members of the triple entente out of action. This left the British, the Russians and the Italians. Great. Let's not forget that Italian tanks at the time had more gears for reverse than they did forward...The Italians didn't like fighting and the British and Russians didn't get on, they were only united as they disliked the Germans even more than they disliked each other.So, the French were out, the Italians switched sides and the Russians, being Russians, had a revolution. It's kind of their thing. Amidst this Hitler commanded the most powerful army in the world and the second largest industrial nation; furthermore his army commanders had pioneered the devestating Blitzkrieg method of war. Things didn't look good. But fear not! Adolf was around to save us...However much you may hate the man, be glad in a way, had one of his military advisors been in charge then we may well be speaking German right now.How so you may ask. Well, it was Hitler's mistakes that allowed the Allies to capitalise and win the war. His two biggest mistakes. Firstly there was the blitz. Over a two year period Hitler systematically sent over the entire Luftwaffe to Blighty to get shot down in return for a few brummies and a couple sheep. Well done Adolf.Secondly of course, when all seemed well, he decided to go to war with Russia. near winter. Napoleon had already tried this, as had countless Teutons and they had all failed. Hitler, however did have the means. But he attacked too near winter with one coat per platoon of men. That's not very many coats. Finally, once in Russia he had the chance to attack Moscow and bump off Joe Stalin, but instead he went south, seemingly for kicks and as we all know got a good rollocking in St. Petersburg.So there you have it. Don't thank Winston, certainly don't thank William Haig. Thank Hitler. But then again, he started it all in the first place...
  14. We all know that dear old Tony Blair has stated his intentions of leaving, just as we all know that the scary scotsman will be taking his place. However, he said he would be leaving last year. He reached his deadline for leaving and hes still here, even though nobody, not even his own party, wants him! There are websites where you can place bets as to when you think he will leave. Me? I'm convinced that he's going to stay until next general election unless he's ousted Thatcher style.But why's he going to stay? The same reason John Major stayed when nobody wanted him. He likes the power. Just like every leader in history. His time came to go, but he just could not bear giving up his office and going into a life of obscurity. Plus he doesnt want to surrender it to a dodgy scotsman...
  15. Well for starters the two world wars only helped the american economy because, rather than really take part, they just flogged stuff to the allies. and Korea didn't help the economy. Neither did Vitenam.As for the current war, here is a simple geographical fact - all of the oil is in the middle east. None of it is in teh West. We aer in teh West, therefore we have no oil. With the Middle East in turmoil oil is harder to get at, especially with insurgents atacking oil fields in Iraq. All of this drives crude oil prices up which in turn makes petrol more expensive. That is why you have to use shears instead of a lawnmower.
