Is this person famous for one specific event in history?

I know, darling, as you can see from the sentence preceding that one. That's the only part of US politics that I'm jealous of: the fact that believe it or not, party politics is much, much worse in the UK then it is over the pond. Also, Labour won a landslide victory in 1997, as well as winning...

Dear. God. Oh, my. The Lib Dems never prove themselves, do they? They came through the expenses scandal without too much damage, at least not compared to Labour or the Tories. They could show that they had what it takes to govern properly, yet they faff and they show themselves as empty...

Can we get a few measurements of the drive? Weight and dimensions. :)

Well, we've all got wood and nails, right? I guess I meant modern in the sense that it's now as easy as pressing a button or whispering a general's ear. But in hindsight, trying to think of a leader throughout all history that hasn't been involved in murder on some scale is making my head...

Is this person known for their contribution to culture and art? (Art in the sense of the fine arts: literature, music, painting, etc.)

Guess that'll teach you for underestimating the Minister, punk. :P :) In other news, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a damn good movie. Val Kilmer is especially brilliant. Watch it! All of you! /end-coffee-fuelled-hysteria

Something that royally sucks: Last Wednesday, the first time in years that I've used public transport - I left a chunk of my Maiden collection on a bus. I had it in a wallet to transport it and I left it on a seat. Have been calling all week to get it back to no avail. :( All this coffee is...

The Number of The Beast - 690 Powerslave - 249 (-1)

Well, we all have our bad days, Onhell. :bigsmile: I agree though. No leader is pure and every leader has blood on their hands. Modern leadership is marked by the ability for a modern leader to be able to drag the option for war off of a shelf. Not to mention the ability to order someone's death.

I am re-reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close right now. I found it behind my bookcase and was eager to give it another go. I'm a big fan of his writing (His first novel Everything is Illuminated is among my favourite books of all time) but when I first read it, I...

Is "relativate" similar to juxtapose or compare? I'm not familiar with the word. To build on Foro's point here, although the extent of Stalin's brutality far far outweighs Lenin's, Lenin was still responsible for the "Red Terror" and the murders carried out by the Cheka. Lenin can be portayed...

I like SMX's suggestion, but isn't the whole integrity of the plan based around the journey the drive will take, as well as the fact that we're file-sharing via the postal system?

Watched a brilliant film by a theatre company called DV8 called "The Cost of Living" today. Absolutely fantastic, just one big extended physical metaphor attempted to show the issue of division and differences. It was wonderful. Ridiculously well choreographed and I recommend to all! I also...

Becky (United Kingdom) :)

Welcome!  :) I haven't actually had the time or patience to play it. I don't like that sort of easy flash game. I regret that now. I intend to play it when I've got time. Are you new to the forums, Bellaroo? A former lurker?

I'm in for that. :) That's a seriously good idea.

Adrian Smith thinks it's been a long time since PH wrote a few self-evident truths about him. Adrian Smith's saliva contains 11,000 different types of bacteria - each one equally capable of playing the opening lick to Wasted Years Adrian Smith can tie his shoes... with his feet. Adrian Smith is...

Sorry, boo. I'm British. I really don't know what Apple Jacks are. :)

Anyone willing to send me a box of Cheerios to have a try? :P
