Fullerene

The names Darren, Tabitha and Samantha became popular in America (and maybe elsewhere) because of the TV show Bewitched (1964-72).

When Singapore was expelled from Malaysia in 1965, it had none of the skyscrapers that we see today, nor the shopping malls, modern airport or modern subway system. Back then the Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew cried. He thought it would become an overcrowded drug and disease infested cesspit that everybody would try to avoid. No doubt he was a controversial figure but he was far more relevant to why Singapore is the country it is today as opposed to the time when it was a British Colony.

How many @Nkomo-A-Gogodoes it take to fix a light bulb?

All parties are a coalition of sorts. The Labour Party includes MPs who love Jeremy Corbyn and those who despise him. The Lib Dems has had members who lean left and those who lean right - for example Charles Kennedy and Nick Clegg. Similarly the Tory Party has MPs who believe in a small state, light touch government but are not interested in the culture wars or hostility to immigrants and so on, while it also has MPs who could easily defect to UKIP. I think FPTP distorts things totally. The threat from UKIP means the Tories have to move further right. When we were in Europe, the Tories did not belong to the Centre-Right Group but went for a more xenophobic lot. That was to appease the Tory/UKIP vote.

Under the Maquis of Queensberry rules, a fight should start with "Shake hands and come out fighting" and ends with a winner being declared and hugs all around. So basically this thread is the same as the other thread but without the middle bit. Maybe the two threads can be merged.

Because my memory is not as good as it used to be. Sometimes I forget stuff and it might be months or even years later when I remember.

So since the last general election: Johnson out and no longer an MP. Corbyn out and not allowed to stand for Labour next time. The UK is a beacon of stability. Discuss.

FTFY

If Labour were to mention Brexit at all, then suddenly it would become the only topic. "They don't believe in democracy, they don't reflect the vote, they don't believe in this country". Basically they have to wait until a large enough majority demand a second referendum.

Gene Simmons said he did not want to be in a band, he wanted to be in a brand. One of the reasons they wore heavy make-up was so any member can be replaced and nobody would really care. Different drummer - same make-up - Problem solved. In Star Trek, the same Klingon (or other alien) character can be played by different actors each time and hardly anyone even notices.

That is it. The EU are not interesting in discussing the UK going back into the EU if there is a possibility that a subsequent Tory government will just cancel the talks. It will only happen if every likely government is in favour of the idea. With FPTP, the Tories are always wary of being outflanked by the Nigel Farage Party and will always be more extreme as a result. Hopefully with PR, the Tories will still be detestable but the worse elements would not have so much influence.

The accusation down in England is that the focus is always on London. Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield and Hull are some of the largest places in England and located close to the M62. The suggestion is that if they were better interconnected and could operate more as a single economic unit then that would transform the area completely. Like you say, it never happens.

think this result (hilarious as it was) may haunt Thistle for a long time, as there are no games for a long time. Partick blowing it in such a style will give them nightmares for a long time. It will be a long time and that is for sure. From the song "Long time to get back from Dingwall" written by Ayrfix.

You do realise you could also press F1 for Help. (There is an entire section entitled "Dealing with Rage").

I take it you have fixed your Excel problem? Something to do with row height maybe?

As requested, this is the old thread with interesting pictures of North Korea.

Actually it would have been on page 99 so you were slightly out. Also on page 99 is a thread with some interesting pictures of North Korea.

Maybe you didn't spot where it was. They asked Hamish MacBeth if he knew any virgins and once they got a name they wrote to him.

I think the good people of New Hampshire came up with the answer. Derry and Londonderry are completely separate places!

Two good guys are fighting the bad guy. One of the good guys (often a man) tells the other good guy (often a woman) to run away and she does. The bad guy gradually gets the upper hand and is about to kill the remaining good guy but guess what - the other guy (or gal as the case may be) has not totally run away. In fact she is back - armed with a big stick, which she uses to whack the bad guy over the head and knock him out. Hooray for the good guys!!

Stone the Crows !!

That joke is dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, de, dumb.

I seldom get these things wrong all be it I don't know why.
