Sorry if my earlier post came across a bit rude, there's certainly no need for you to apologise. I just wanted to let you know not to expect a reply from Blog Bot. :)

lankou, Blog Bot is just that - a bot. It is not a person sitting there tapping out these posts. You should follow the link at the end of the post to put your question to the blog author.

Yes, the county council own Coopers Hill which was acquired, as these things so often are, for its protection from being despoiled by quarrying and unsuitable development. Now of course they could be...

A long list starting with Brockworth Parish Council, I would say.

I am surprised it took them this long. The event has been held 'illegally' for the last few years. Everyone around here knows that Diana Smart provides the cheese and putting pressure on her is...

I meant dangerous as in it makes people just roll their eyes at the supposed stupidity instead of scrutinising the policies properly.

I think the medical establishment is far too ready to see all manner of disorders in people turning ordinary variation in human behaviour into a dizzying array of psychological disorders. ADHD is one...

How would such a scheme be financed? Laudable goals but I struggle to see the economic argument.

Yes, I for one didn't think the original thread was a serious discussion which is why I didn't answer the first time. When chuffer started this second thread I thought I might as well add a few...

Interesting link IC. Shame the site doesn't provide references so I thought I'd look up a few.



Directive 97/67/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 1997 on common...

I expect the last one was closed because of the extended off topic posting.

My answers to your 2 questions:

What makes a moderator wish to moderate?
I don't think it is about wanting to. My...

I think it is dangerous to label people like Cameron half-wits. They are not stupid and are deliberate in what they do especially if it appears to be stupid or pig-headed.

First time I've been called quiet on the 'net.

So Mil, you've had some serious comments on this thread now but no reply from you?

Sorry Mil, couldn't resist.

I did actually watch the "documentary" you embedded. It was both interesting and amusing. I agree that the how the Great Pyramid was built is presently a mystery and...

Perhaps you should apply for a refund of your membership fee.

Most websites don't use Java - Javascript is something different and, if they are developed according to normal principles within the industry, they will be operating system-agnostic. Flash is used...

They were built by the Goa'uld and are landing pads for their ships. I thought everyone knew that. :)

Yes, some of these newspaper websites are very Javascript heavy and sometimes these scripts are not particularly well developed and can cause problems like this. As IC says NoScript will stop these...

Why do you believe this to be what would happen? What leads you to this conclusion?

My emphasis - handouts are precisely the wrong answer. What is needed is for more people to consider their spending actions. Are there opportunities for mutual benefit? It is a thousand times better...

Everyone desires more than they need.



It has every bearing on the issue.



In the quote above I have changed the word option for opportunity, as I'll agree there is clearly not the...

Very amusing Plumpkin.

Perhaps if these services were provided directly by the private sector (as opposed to indirectly, via local government) we would have competition and choice that would enable people to select the...

Anyone noticed that milk seems to be getting thinner and more watery? I drink whole milk only but starting about 3 years ago I noticed a period in which it became very thin. Then it seemed to go back...
