  1. Precious metals are the traditional safe haven in times of economic uncertainty.
  2. What would the denizens of that reality be celebrating today? *Pulls cord on Professor Farnsworth's What If machine and stands clear*

Not quite so ancient and a little to the south, you may be thinking of Arses of Persia? I once seriously considered coming back as Arses of Southwark - it has a certain je ne sais quoi about it, no?

Although, MF Global did sink last week under the weight of European junk bonds, including Greek, to the tune of 6.3 billion dollar's worth. (Leveraged at 40:1, I heard. No lessons learnt there, then!) My scenario, from the POV of the EU banks, eliminates the 50% haircut without adding any additional risk. They can?t lose: 100% repayment of junk-grade sovereign paper the banks already hold IF the issuers survive until maturity.
  6. The Facebook book reference you cite (Miscarriage Justice) does not appear to be relevant to your post. The domain of the email address you cite does not appear to exist. What are you hoping to achieve?
  7. I wonder whether Papandreou's brinkmanship over the referendum was used to extract further undisclosed concessions from the EU? The 50% bond "haircut" agreed by EU banks is a crock: it is not binding. There is no provision to stop the banks from selling their Greek bonds to wholly owned hedge funds that insist on full redemption at maturity. Why would any bank lose half of its investment when it didn?t have to? Eurozone financial crisis: Winners and losers

    An interesting article: A sister's eulogy for Steve Jobs
  10. Are you asking about website design proper (i.e. giving an existing website a unique look and feel) or the creation of a new website from scratch? If the latter, it depends on what features are required. Making a simple website is fairly easy. There are lots of online apps, tools and tutorials that enable a novice to create professional looking websites. If you need a business website with database and e-commerce links then you'll probably need a professional. You may get more comments and opinions if you provide a little more information.
  11. In that case, you might find what you are looking for here: adventurous and exceptional duck recipes Or here: some interesting duck recipes by Richard Corrigan of Cookery School. Edited for better link.
  12. This recipe has worked for me: How To Make Duck In Orange Sauce.

    Crap Dilemma

    A Buddhist would expect reincarnation as a life form appropriate to the level of karma earned during one's previous incarnation. He'll be back - hopefully, not as an android.

    Crap Dilemma

    "Steve Jobs vowed to 'destroy' Android ... and would spend all of Apple's money and his dying breath if that is what it took to do so."
  15. Morrisons - ?1 per (kilo-ish looking) pack.
  16. The fox has gone - good riddance.
  17. You scored 16 out of a possible 24 You have failed, the pass mark was 75% According to the Life in the UK Test, you have insufficient knowledge of the English language or of life in the UK to remain.
  18. She's hardly a beard. This article made me laugh - don't know how accurate it is though: Liam ?the Liar? Fox According to the BBC: 'He was once forced to make a public apology after describing The Spice Girls as "three dogs and a blackbird".'

  20. silverfox - Apologies: M-Theory itself postulates the co-existence of multiple D-brane universes created when P-branes collide within a higher dimensional space thereby validating your original comment and rendering my interjection otiose.
  21. silverfox Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > If you have to postulate 11 dimensions in order to > explain the [possibility] of multiple universes you > have a serious problem. A problem you appear to have created by conflating two or more unrelated hypotheses. 11 dimensions = M-Theory (an amalgam of five types of string theory) that postulates 10^500 possible "landscapes". Multiple universes = many-worlds and several other theories, none of which postulate how many dimensions there may be.

  24. Unless there's more than one of each, in which case read: haunting by past Anglias' and Cortinas' spirits. Thankfully, I've only owned one of each in the past - never again.
