saw this at the tate when i was in highschool, it was located in the entryway with nothing but natural light from the oculus above, i just remeber being awestruck by how beautiful it was.

thats what you wear to work Stevie? i thought you were in construction or construction management? fuck i'd end it all if i had to wear a suit to work, collared shirt and jeans is all that is required in BC, but then we're more relaxed over here. I am in the construction sector but I get people jobs rather than carrying bricks on me back mate. Stuffy? You have to look professional mate, seen plenty of you yanks in suits anyway. Where's BC by the way? Chicarggo? i hear you about the professional bit, its more a when in rome sort of thing, no one out here wears a suit unless you're in court or you're a accountant and even then i doubt it. you have to understand that I live in the middle of nowhere, BC (and you'll have to look it up stevie) only has a population of roughly 1.5 -2.0 mil people but most of those live in the lower mainland. point is if i lived in the city i'd have to wear more business attire, thats one of the reasons i came back out to BC when i finished school, i'm not much of a suit guy. British Columbia? Yup...West Kootenays to be precise.

oh fuck he's a canuck too! i forgot about that, he's young i'm hoping for a lindsy lohan-esque spiral into oblivion. it'd be best for all involved really.

agreed, it's bad enough they're canadian and get held up as the pinnacle of canadian music, thank christ the arcade fire have made it big now. hopefully nickleback will fade into obscurity and we (canadians) can start quietly apologizing for them the same way we do with celine and brian adams.

NickleBack ............its the same fucking song everytime

Raises more anger with one particular poster...who has been subject to an intergalactic cunting from everyone else involved, including the local retard in the form of Wacky. One way taxi to Bridgend for ATP. not quite as bad as the intergalactic cunting you got for your wiki exploits....

ive got the storm2 which is the RIM answer to the iphone my only complaint is that the touch screen keyboard for typing sometimes picks a letter over from the one i've hit. this issue is remedied with the torch b/c it has an actual keyboard that slides out. i've heard that RIM products are more reliable than iphone as well, i've never <knocks on wood> had an issue while a lot of people i know with the iphone have had issues

FYP...and yeah it's just you that's a bit annoying

really? i don't think they meant to hit the pharma-factory....doesn't play well on the news (although i doubt the fact it wasn't a "weapons" factory ever made it to the news in any significant way), i think it can attributed to the general lack of good intel coming out of africa, similar to the shit intel which corroborated the move into Iraq, it also originated in africa iirc my point was just that clinton wasn't trying to deflect public opinion, he was just acting in a cavalier/cowboy manner to put a little payback to those that bombed the embassies in Tunisa and Kenya I don't think they give a fuck about the news. i disagree, why else would they have a whitehouse press secretary, it's all about spin. They have a press secretary to tell the press what to write. Not sure how that goes against what parky is saying. The fact the us media act as nothing more than stenographers only promotes a cavalier approach to the presidency. as does the "READY , FIRE, AIM" approach, which is what I was getting at. it's all well and good when the intel is correct and the objectives are acheived as planned, easy to spin it as "good fer 'merica" but if you blow up the only hope at providing affordable meds for the poorest continent on the planet, hard to spin that positively IMO

thats not why he bombed the factory in Sudan. Oh yeah I forgot, Osama Bin Laden was hiding there building chemical weapons. Not that they bothered to check, which would have taken under 24 hours. Remarkable timing, given the Lewinsky scandal and the upcoming mid-term elections. "Officials later acknowledged, however, that "the evidence that prompted President Clinton to order the missile strike on the Shifa plant was not as solid as first portrayed." Indeed, officials later said that there was no proof that the plant had been manufacturing or storing nerve gas, as initially suspected by the Americans, or had been linked to Osama bin Laden, who was a resident of Khartoum in the 1990s."[4] Unfortunately the factory was Sudan's primary source of pharmaceuticals, covering the majority of the Sudanese market. Werner Daum (Germany's ambassador to Sudan 1996–2000) wrote an article in which he estimated that the attack "probably led to tens of thousands of deaths" of Sudanese civilians.[5]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_missil...8August_1998%29 it was a mislead attempt at retribution for the attacks on the US embassy in tunisia and kenya (iirc and i might not), but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't about Clinton's sexual impropriety or lagging public opinion

Vodafone pay their call centre workers £50k+ a year? HA! no from what i've seen, the valuation is usually double what they want you to pay DDB probably spent 1/3 -1/2 of 4400. Seems rather dodgy to me, i went out "looking" the other day and came away feeling that jewelery sales people may be worse than used car sales people.

agreed but it depends how much its being used, i can't see LM sending a ton of texts or gabbing on the phone whilst out and about. is that what you and the other women do ? no you giant dick, its not what i do. i was just pointing out that your battery shouldn't die after three days if you don't use your phone much.

firstly, congratulations. Have you not asked her to pick the ring ? I would say price shouldn't be relevant, but she shouldn't be looking for one just because it costs a lot of money. All the best. cheers, i don't know about picking the ring with her, i like the idea of surprising her with it, and i think my taste is refined enough to pick out a stunner
