Aeroplane

Right handed for delicate movement and left for strength.. so I answered right, Possibly anti-clockwise but its hard to tell by feel, Index finger shorter on both hands, First son.

I only wear one if my hair looks crappy that day because I havent had the time to do anything with it.

The size of the 'degrees' on the F scale is smaller, or at least some of the time, this does not make it more suited to every day weather measurements. Can you really tell a +/- 1 degree C difference? I suspect the answer is 'no', no matter how much you might say that you can. Because both C and F have a higher 'resolution' than the sensitivity of our bodies it really does not matter from that perspective which scale you use. So that addresses your first paragraph. Well, yes it is just a set of numbers. But, it is much more accurate than you say.. the scale is now defined in a different way. Personally I'd say that C is a better system . I'd prefer it to be based on some non physical parameters but *shrug*. With imperial measurements.. It does not make sense to keep varying how many of your first level (ie, inches, pounds, pints) go into your second level (feet, stone, gallons). Sticking with only 12/14/16 would be fine, but the imperial system does not do that.. it is internally inconsistent. The metric system on the other hand.. 1000 nanometres in a micrometre, 1000 mm in a metre, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Note that I've used 10^-9, 10^-6, 10^-3, the base unit (metre) and 10^3. Cm is just a factor of 10 greater (ie, it is 10^-2) for simplicity of daily use. The differences are all 10 or multiples of 10. Much more sense! One of the rare inventions coming out of France which makes sense... that and the guillotine.. Now! The topic! I prefer 15-20 C. If it gets above that I sweat and I hate it. Below that is fine.

Ah I tried and could not. I take it that you did too and that is also the reason for your edit?

I was going to raise this point . I know that a lot of places in the US are so backward (I mean.... rural...) that they can only get dialup anyway. Thats almost down to 'why bother' levels. 3G dongles are ok, but theyre slow and have restrictive caps and even more restrictive charging for exceeding that cap. Some can charge

A 'pouch' with pockets hanging off a small waistband. Yep, that sounds like fun . I rather like wearing tight jeans too. I try to keep my wallet as slim as possible when I wear them . accentuate your best assets? I take stuff out of my pockets when I sit down in a non public place, its just uncomfortable. Your post made me laugh too . *high fives Neph*

I quite liked it, but I wasnt riveted.

Oooh! I didnt know you were a Professor . What do you teach if you dont mind me asking?

That sounds like me . Im not given to be loud and brash vocally.

The problem is - you havent divided your poll finely enough (though I realise there is a board imposed limit on the number of possible responses). As a typical speaker of Amerglish, you assume there is one 'english' accent for the sole reason of.. you cant tell the difference . Im not being insulting, just truthful . I would guess the same holds true with any of the undivided nationalities in your poll. It certainly does with Irish and Scottish. I quite like the Walsall accent, its near Birmingham but doesnt have any of the ratty whine Brummys sometimes have. Its soft and cute. The east of england can be quite funny to listen to (sorry John ), but it can again be cute. The North I just find silly. The western english accent often borders on ridiculous wherever you go around there, though there are many forms of ridiculous. There is generally just one accent or only a very small variation for the south/south east until you move into different bits of London, and because I come from the south-east from it sounds normal.

I think the ultimate bad situation with regard to hating someone would be if this compatible person caused the death of your child, and in doing so gained a critical injury which the child happened to be a suitable match for. What sort of feud, Tiger? In the above scenario, I would probably refuse consent if the killer were being grossly negligent or malicious. Im not sure what I would do if it was accidental.

Absolutely not. I once found a pair of jeans I loved so much that I would have bought them there and then. I chanced to put a hand into a pocket to find that I couldnt even get my little finger in. Those designers lost a sale that day over about 10 pence of cloth and no extra labour cost. If I looked incredibly hot in them, that was down to me not the jeans.. So I still wouldnt buy them . I require pockets. I put my wallet, phone and keys in them and those items dont ruin the shape at all .

Hmmm yep, pretty is the way I swing too! Still, I probably wouldnt kick them out of bed.

Ah yes, I have a similar story. My cat (who is very small and called 'Nova') is a 'retriever' type cat who enjoys fishing.. most often it is blue frogs and micro carp he retrieves but sometimes he must find dvds floating down the river. I hear a rattling at the catflap and cute little mini Nova is there, dvd in mouth looking all sweet. I could not break my poor cat's heart by not accepting his gifts.

100% first time, it tells me I am 'the master'.

So Ive heard. I use the screen light to see by, yeah. Sometimes (and I think this is cooler) I use the crappy night mode camera and I look at the screen's real time feed. Its not good for taking photos, but for light enhancement it can be better than my eyes.

I have a creative nano plus, its somewhat old now but I do love it to pieces. I also like Creative, in my opinion they are the people to go to for sound quality. My current player is somewhat broken now, but Creative havent released anything Im interested in recently (like: I dont want a video player), so I havent looked at replacing it. I am starting to be tempted into buying a nice phone and using that. I am unlikely to be in any situation where 'quality' audio is required - often I listen to my music on the bus or when walking somewhere. The background noise just makes quality pointless. Factors I consider when looking at mp3 players.. Battery life, Must be solid state, Screen has to be big enough to display all the ID3 information but not so big that battery life suffers hugely, Capacity, I dont like internal batteries, I prefer to use AAAs, but this is rare nowadays.

Cool article, though did you link it here for the writing or for the pictures?

This was never an issue for me, we had showers at school but they were rarely used. Instead the changing rooms were filled with a haze of deodorant spray . At that time I probably wouldnt have taken much off anyway. I was still bashful from lack of self confidence. Now, though, I am definitely more willing (some might say TOO willing) to take my clothes off. Probably because I've realised that nobody cares anymore. Except the police if youre in public.

Oh me too! Not the biomedical, but the other two . Welcome!

Im SO guilty of that

Merlin, season 2 started last night. So if you were eager to see more about Merlin's TV adventures.. you can. Available on iPlayer for the UK viewers. No idea if any other international channels will pick it up. Ive heard there are other ways of getting it which I havent mentioned..

He might be old in figures but he can definitely keep up with us Queer20somethings . I'd definitely go on a date with Rush, I love lady-dates. No pressure, just fun and a pleasant social evening.

Im not sure if this is propaganda from our side or from their side. Funny, whoever made it .
