Do I need to study Fairies or Astrology in any depth to know they're nonsense? Do I need a degree in classics to dismiss Zeus? "Theology" fails by its definition - the study of something that does not exist. The Sky God of an inerrant bible has been proved to be a lie so they move the goalposts to "something that exists ouside of space and time" - fair enough but that fucker isn't the Abrahamic God that "ordinary" believers pray to.

Would that be Adolf "Choir Boy, given power by Rome to appoint bishops, wrote in Mein Kampf of the Lord's work, never excommunicated but still named as a fucking atheist" Hitler. As Renton said Atheism wasn't their ethos.

Yeah I read The God Delusion a couple of months ago - its a bit "preaching to the converted" as I can't see dyed in the wool theists having a revelation after reading it. Aiming it at the people he says it is - people who've been brainwashed but are feeling uneasy in the face of thought - might work. The Haggard story did make me laugh - I don't care that he's gay but the hypocrisy is hilarious. I'd recommend Dawkins' new web site: http://richarddawkins.net/home

I get what you're saying but I think in general there has to be a recognition that people are inherently "weak" on any number of criteria but thats what makes us human. As I've said before I find it astonishing that anybody believes superstisious nonsense in the face of all reason but while I would like to see it discouraged, all out "punishment" is a step too far. On the other hand some of the measurements on weight are ridiculous - I was looking at a BMI site last week where for a 6Ft man the "healthy" range started at 9St 12lb which is frankly skeletal and in no way "normal" to me.

I might be wrong but I always took the moral to be that it didn't matter in the end - a bit similar to the premise in Total Recall that a man is defined by his actions not by his history.

Amen ! I've got the party poppers and my dancing shoes ready ! sticks of TNT in her coffin with the fuses hanging out the sides and then give everyone a match! Put the saggy old bitch into orbit tbh! Might be awkward to light them with all the people pissing.

I think his cause wasn't helped by not being able to play in the UEFA - and the way Sib turned out compounded that. Maybe he paid the price for Sheff Utd (dunno if that was fair - I was on holiday and missed that).

Has never asked for money. Has had at least $500m in african debt written off. Received death threats from the IRA after Rattle & Hum denouncement before SBS - their most famous song and probably the most anti-IRA song ever written. He does act like a prick when he isn't doing his day job but then again the end justifies the means - what the fuck have you sanctimonious wankers done for the rest of the world? He also happens to be in the best band ever. Thought I'd add a bit of balance.

There was a CSI once where someone did this - the point is it numbs the nerves on your bell end and supposedly delays orgasm - don't know what it would do for her but I think in the CSI it was a bad batch and the lass dropped down dead.

"Fuck the lower leagues"

Both acts of desperation though. And just to clarify - the drug I referred to wasn't an illegal substance, it was a medical one. "Pushing drugs in a quiet room" sounds like he was injecting heroin or something. Yes I'm being over-sensitive. I presumed that that was what you meant - I wasn't implying seediness or anything.

I have to join the unpopular camp and say I agree with Fish - cowardice always comes to my mind - more for the "damage" to those left behind than for the actual act though I can see the argument about it being worse going on living if life is that bad. Pushing drugs in a quiet room is one thing - jumping in front of a train and causing trauma to the driver/cleanup crew is another imo.

Very funny in its day but been repeated too many times now - agree they should have stopped with the watch. I think the scene in that one where Rodney bought the roller for Del is up there with the end of Blackadder 4 for the most moving scene in a comedy ever (or any other show for that matter).

Oooh take that back! No. I like 5 Beatles songs (from what I've heard). 5 more than me and I've heard them all apart from the stuff they've released post mortem. Only ever heard one Bowling for Soup song though and that was shite.

Elephant/Admiral are always the cheapest for me by a mile.

Every day for me (I have a lot of anger)

Why was someone who was "in bed" arrested out of interest? Identified? If it had been the classic "caught up in something in the wrong place at the wrong time" then I could understand it as I've seen it happen but my gut reaction is that picking someone up who as I said was "in bed" seems a bit random. I admit to prejudice - I hate the fuckers.

Out with fellow workers a few years ago and a couple of lasses were talking about childbirth weight and how one of their sisters had had an 8 pounder to which the other one replied that hers had been 10 pounds. Cue my "I can't see how a couple of pounds would make any difference" Didn't go down well

I'm always heartened by the fact that daft phrases like "Fear of Fanny" can still bring a very juvenile smile to my face. See also while channel hopping on Sky and seeing "Watersports World" come up.

Registered online a few months ago. I think we should follow other countries and make people opt out rather than in. The obsession with remains and funerals mystifies me.

Three contrasts: When Shearer went through last year against Wigan which turned out to his last goal at SJP I knew he was going to score. When Shola has any one on one I'm surprised if he scores. When Martins had that shot today I thought not a bad effort - but for £10m I want someone I know will score - he isn't it (yet).

Seen it before but it remans pretty true - exchange of academic papers my arse - without the desire for porn the internet would still be text only.

Software Developer (and probably Software Development Manager next year) for a German bank in the City.

You could just wake your bloke up

I went to see Gene a few years ago and they did a great song called Is it Over which has a climax where it all goes quiet and the lead singer screams/sings the title acapella. Just at that point this twat next to me turns to his mate and asks him what time he was going out the next night. If I'd had an Uzi the fucker would have bought it there and then. On a related note, for festivals I'd have a bloke in the lighting rig picking off fuckers with their girlfriends on their shoulders with an air rifle.
