  1. Mind you, Friends of the Earth and Kofi Annan......... ..........do me a favour !
  2. The first part of your list get a vote, so why should we give a flying feck what they think ? Of the rest, they get one vote each each......the same as us !
  3. I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour........

      But heaven knows I'm miserable now.

  4. Twins have DNA that is almost identical. Clones have DNA that is indistinguishable from the donor organism. http://www.animalresearch.info/en/medical-advances/timeline/cloning-dolly-the-sheep/
  5. When Dolly the Sheep was cloned, I remember that an unexpected effect was that the cloned sheep showed accelerated ageing, until its cells matched the age of the sheep from which the cloned cells had been taken. My dad was an identical twin - their DNA is almost identical, and only the most detailed testing shows differences. The basic "Jeremy Kyle -type" DNA paternity test would show twins as being the same person.
  6. Easy to get a gun legally over there - probably just as easy to get one illegally !
  7. And I'll bet they're foreign foxes ! They come over here...........
  8. It was going really well......right up to the bit about "blazing away with a 2.2" !!
  9. Boris thinks fox hunting should be allowed in London. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/10117433/Lets-have-fox-hunting-in-London-says-Boris.html
  10. A "Leave" vote will not immediately change anything. Most MPs back "Remain", and anyone who thinks that they will give up their "jobs for the boys" gravy train easily is being very naive. Negotiations will be drawn out and prolonged by any possible legal challenge, then Sturgeon will kick off her campaign for a second independence referendum, the PM at the time will probably say there is sufficient reason for another EU vote, and the whole farcical roundabout will begin again, probably before anything concrete has even been agreed in the first place ! Or, they could just do it the simp
  11. Believe me when I say that I'm as intolerant and bigoted as the next man, but some of the comments on this thread (and other recent ones) are truly appalling, and I'm wondering how much lower this will be allowed to sink...
  12. most likely a weirdo loner feeling rejected by the world wanting to be accepted by somebody I think he's a martyr for his cause tbh,it appears he's been an Islamist a long time. If this happens even 3 or 4 more times gays won't be so loud and crass anymore,and children won't grow up thinking this lifestyle is normal. Not to say I agree with his method at all,but his goal may be achieved one day soon thanks to his sacrifice. 50 innocent, unarmed people, completely unable to defend themselves, are murdered in cold blood by some Islamist lunatic....and you're defending the lunatic !
  13. Cheeky fecker ! I'm trying to get her to resist naming it, but shes convinced it's a female (the hedgehog, not my wife, before anyone starts !!)
  14. Gentlemen, Shirley has asked me to tell you that she is touched by all the support and advice you've offered. Thank you
  15. Will definitely release it, mate. It's a wild animal, after all, so hopefully we'll get it back where it belongs......
  16. Shes just weighed it, and I think we have our work cut out.........77 grammes !!!
  17. Is suppose because it's a mammal, and requires a warm, fairly constant temperature, or it will use its reserves up to keep warm, instead of growing.
  18. It's in a small box, full of hay, inside a small cage. The biggest problem were having is keeping it warm constantly - have to remember to re-heat the wheat bag thingy......
  19. To be honest,t his is the first live one I've seen in a long time,too. Probably got separated from its family ?
  20. Beats believing a book of fairytails is an historic document.Yeah but hawkins admits there could be a creator, do you?exactly, Hawkins also says that the universe is too complex just to be a fluke, and that maths is the language of the universe, so how does that also come by fluke??? Hell of a lot just to happen randomly??? Doesn't mean he believes. To put what he said in context: "What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God. Which there isn't. I'm an atheist." the thing is science is constantly correcting itself, so ho
  21. The good lady BB has been feeding a baby hedgehog for a day or three, in the garden, just leaving water and a bit of dog food out for it. Yesterday morning, she found it cold and very weak, on the path. At first , she thought it was dead, but it began to move as it warmed up in her hands. She couldn't leave it to die, so it's residing in a small cage on top of the freezer. She feeding a small amount of goats milk, mashed up puppy food and mealworms. She heats up one of those wheat bag things to keep it warm, and it seems to be doing OK, though it's only around 4 inches long, so it's pr

  23. Why don't you read it, then dumb it down for the rest of us, BH ? Cos he couldn't dumb it down enough. He could just make it up - some on here will believe anything !
