Interesting fact about his manhood (can you call it that) but how big is the whale itself ?

This week I have been mostly reading "Manhood Like a Whale" Now, I know I didn't opt to take biology at school (preferred the physics) but 1. If it is a Sperm or blue whale, then based on what I have read (the Readers Digest guide to Wales and the Valleys !!) it's manhood is one 'eck of a lot bigger in feet and inches then I am tall. :-S 2. This would also cause a fatal reaction upon seeing a pretty girl, whale-sized manhood gets happy, man dies from lack of blood :-$ 3. Won't you also continuously be 'tripping over yourself' ? ;-) I wonder if anyone took this offer up, could they be done for breach of trades descriptions act ? (6)

I am at home .... Minus 8 hours and counting >:D

Does the Rye Hotel count as being abroad as it is outside the confines of East Dulwich however - best fish ever was at Silver Darlings - overlooking Aberdeen harbour... now that is abroad...

Hmm... but what about his follow up book - The Selfish Capitalist. "The Selfish Capitalist" provides more detailed substantiation for the claims made in "Affluenza". It looks deeper into the origins of the virus and outlines the political, economic and social climate in which it has grown.A modern-day "The State We're In" Selfish Capitalist at Amazon :-S (sadly I also have bought both of these books from Amazon before realising the irony of buying them in the first place !!)

Yes It is crazy and a sign that you are infected with "Affluenza" - the need to keep up with the Jones which ultimatly makes us twice as prone to depression, Anxiety and addition then people in developing nations..... Personally I would recommend reading Affluenza by Oliver Jame (ISBN : 9780091900113) - currently available at Amazon (Doh - 232 items !!!) (6)

It is on BBC 2 tonight Suspect that it will also be available via iPlayer as well

Can you hear the ticking of the clocks ? Can you sense what is wrong with the minds of people ? Do you have the urge to collect the ability of other people ? Are you a homicidal maniac ? I guess if the quiz asked these questions and you answered Yes to them then I can see how.... (checks head to make sure it isn't being sawn off as he types)

oh dear Most Heroes have only one ability, apart from Syla and Peter who absorb others powers Therefore either you have already selected your power, or we all need to make sure that you come no where near us for fear of having the tops of our heads cut off ::o

As a feminist friend once asked me "If a tree falls in a deserted forest, and there is no one there to hear it, Is the man still wrong ? " I personally don't think there is a correct answer to that question, so kept very quiet at the time (which was still wrong apparently)

It's back, and can I say DO NOT DISTURB between 9 and 10 tonight Question is what hero power would you want ? (apart from the ability to see through mayoral election B*shit)

I am looking at the concept of a house price crash which is being fanned by the media at the moment. It is an interesting thought, that if people who didn't need to sell / move didn't put their houses on the market, then the available stock would be reduced, thus keeping prices buoyant. However as soon as the media start talking crashes, job losses in the city and so on (like they are now) then some people either panic or are forced to sell (due to lost earnings, inherited home or any other reason) which puts a glut of properties on the market and buyers holding back waiting for prices to spiral downwards. I guess the real question here is, are the media causing the current crisis in house prices, much like they have been responsible for hyping them up to unrealistic levels over the past few years, or is there a genuine problem in the economy forcing people to sell no matter what they loose? I believe that it would be an interesting experiment for East Dulwich to see what would happen if there is a reduced number of properties for sale, by choice of the sellers, thus keeping demand for the few available properties high and in turn keeping it a bit of a sellers market. Would prices here fall in line with the rest of the UK / London, or would they remain as they are? It the latter then it would end up creating media interest into why ED is bucking the trend, features in Homes and Properties (or similar publications) suggesting that ED is the place to buy to avoid the crash and therefore attracting people to the area who have the money to afford the artificially inflated (bit limited availability) housing stock. I also personally believe that should most people who don?t need to sell, but are selling anyway, then not accept falling house prices (stick to the price they expect), then the statistics for an area would show that the average house price hasn?t fallen (but may take time to sell) resulting in the area bucking the media prediction and general trends. However this is all academic as it will only effect each one of us when we come to sell our properties, and at which time the choice is simple, accept the market value knowing that where you move to will also be at that new higher or lower market value, which ultimately results in no real gain or loss to people selling up to move on. Is East Dulwich brave enough to take this on as an experiment (and by reducing available housing stock, maybe, just maybe we can reduce the number of estate agents (F for example) downwards as well?..

nothing extraordinary about wanting to pay the same price for goods and receive the same treatment It is how e-retailers should be operating rather they how they do currently operate... besides I feel like playing devils advocate today Guess it does say to me that we should be supporting our local shops more .....

Michael Palaeologus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I think that Mark's explanation is spot on. Pay > the extra and its is posted that day, go for the > free service and it will go when the van is full. An interesting observation, but let us look at the world of shopping for a moment. If Marks and Spencers (for example) sold a product for ?30 and said you can join one of three queues queue 1 is very quick, but you pay ?3 extra queue 2 is slower but there is no extra charge queue 3 is normal speed but no extra charge would you choose queue 1 2 or 3 ? As Amazon (and other e-retailers) are trying to get our money, surely they should operate in a manner that doesn't cost the consumer any more to get their goods. I do understand that there is a postage fee to pay for delivery by them, but I would hope that if they have their model correct and not paying for shop space, shop staff, goods on display, rent and rates (etc) across the whole country (and I do understand that they have a warehouse and associated costs) then they should be able to absorb the cost of postage and packaging (as they do for super saver goods) for all sales, thereby making it a similar or lower cost to the end consumer as walking down to their local shops. I guess not, and they are proving that most people who want their goods opt for queue 1 (quicker but higher cost) then 3 (normal speed and same cost) Interesting discussion and shows how the public have been brain washed into believing that by getting a lower price on the internet, the high cost of P&P is acceptable when it should really be built into the cost and comparison This of course doesn't account for the busy people who don't get time to shop and have to order online.. but that is a different concept Final point, Got Mario Kart a few days before they predicted it, which was good and haven't had much sleep since (talk about an addictive and fun game) - Sorry to any of my neighbours who may hear me scream, shout and curse....

Sorry had to add that at the end of the title !!! Anyone going to see the Nuttyboys when they play in December ??? And yes, I love driving my car(s) in London too. After all that is why I own them....

Ahhh it isn't the website I have problems with, it is the delay in posting out if you use supersaver... why can't they send it out the same time as they send out paid for mail... after all it is only being delayed in the delivery option and not in the processing option (which in my opinion has to be the same internal process) I feel a bit like V.M. today and "I can't believe it" springs to mind... Feeling suddenly old and having secret urges to rant and shout at the world...not good considering I am only aged 13 3/4 !!

Oh Oh Oh Here's one that sorts the Americans out from the rest of the world "Aluminium" I think that most Americans pronounce it as "aluminum" go on America Fawcet out correctly !!!
