    Wheres Wall-E

    ED209 is there, however.
  2. No, they have an instinct to survive and avoid the pain of being eaten, but they have no concept of the "self" and thus no concept that a lion attack will end in their death. They run, hop and jump through pure evolutionary instinct, not to preserve their own identity. The mirror test shows it best, iirc, can an animal truly recognise itself in a mirror. I'm not sure if even dolphins do. I used to be an atheist but I've come more and more to believe in a "god", a creator, and its all because of Professor Richard Dawkins. Because when I look at something as complex, and as beautiful, as Professor Richard Dawkins, I think, that can't have happened by chance. The above is the horribly misquoted property of Mr Stewart Lee, off the telly
  3. As far as I'm aware, no one has ever identified an earth-like planet as yet. Statistically, our position and planetary neighbours combining to make life possible and sustainable is infinitessimaly small, yet we survive and the infinite nature of the universe means there must be similar planets at vast distances from us. I certainly "believe" we have never been visited by any alien form or craft. Its all stories, cover ups and mis-understandings. And thats from someone who used to "see" UFOs all the time, including the well documented Orpington one.
  4. It is. You'll get halfway through and realise that everything you thought that you would do, if there was a zombie outbreak, is wrong and that you'd be truly stuffed. But I have the solution, and so does Timothy Spall, with a little more modification work.
  5. Ahhhhhh. Sorry. I still couldn't see that for about 3 seconds after reading what you explained. I must suffer from a mild form of wood blandness. Apparently Shakespear DID set The Tempest on a far away planet, but his agent told him to make it about sailors instead removing the line "...fault with the Klystron Modulator? What is it?" "It's a large piece of unspecified equipment crucial to plot development, but that's not important right now."
  6. I've not read it, and having googly'd it, I still don't get your point, Like Anne Francis in Forbidden Planet, I can see that was terribly clever, but I don't understand it.
  7. Why do people do this nonsense, take a prefectly good book and try to ruin it? 'Yah, cool, we're really liking this Romeo and Juliet concept for a film, but let's make it about a ditzy blonde TV producer who falls in love with an astronaut and they try to adopt two Somalian kids. We'll call it "dark side o'the moon?"'
  8. I'd have not payed and left it there. You don't need a spoiler for 1/4 mile runs anyway.
  9. No, you can't go back to savoury!
  10. That's what I thought, but after 6 months they stopped my JSA and now I get no benefits as my wife works, but if she stops working, we get no benefits as she would have deliberately stopped working. If its true that people on the dole live a life of luxury, I'd like to know what I'm missing out on.
  11. Aye, me too. An e-petition will do nothing to harm these lose moralled loosers who seem to think its acceptable to lote shops at will. Why 100,000 signatures though? What happens if it reaches or exceeds that target, does it automatically become statute?
  12. 1. Name 4 cars with animal names Cougar, Puma, VW Fox 2. In a fight this car is the winner Victor 3. 4 cars with names of swords Sunbeam Rapier, Reliant Scimitar, Ford Cutlass 4. 4 cars with ‘noble blood’ Vauxhall Viscount 5. Models with a musical theme? Nissan Note 6. 4 more with animal names? 7. 3 reptilian models? AC Cobra, Dodge Viper Surely anything by fiat is a rattler? 8. Short male? MG Midget 9. 4 named after insects? VW Beetle, Renualt Spyder (not an actual insect) 10. 4 named after cities 11. 4 Greek lettered Vauxhall Omega, Lancia Beta and Delta 12. 2 Mythical creatures? Ford Zephyr, TVRs Griffith, Chimera 13. Birds of a feather perhaps? Nissan Bluebird 14. Odd one out? 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 900 Fiat 500 15. Sporty cars? 16. More cities? 17. Underground transport? 18. Lemonade soft drink? 19. Real ‘bad boy’? 20. Rugged Adventure? 21. The Wild, Wild West? 22. 2 Famous British cities? Morris Oxford and Austin Cambridge 23. Or 6 British regions uses as model names? 24. No Directions Necessary? 25. Aristocratic? 26. Aristocratic and French? 27. Secret Agents? Bond Bug 28. Yet more animal names? 29. Name three models that use the numbers 300 30. Finally one oddball! We all know that TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development but what of STI, HFP, FPV or SVT?
  13. See? I'm always impressed by lateral thinking, and that right there, is purely belter.

    Who are these guys?

    The number googles to CarOcean, whose website has no contact details. whose, who's, within whom's?
  15. Sounds difficult to pull off, under pressure. You'd be better off having a few dry runs in your bedroom. Well, I say, "dry" runs.

    Road side memorial

    Exactly, why commemorate the moment they died due to a terrible mistake/stupidity/showing off? Why not commemorate their life, at a grave or plaque. I remember driving along the A27 Havant by pass, iirc, and there was a sign saying "Pedestrian Crossing 200 yds" then at that crossing point in the central reservation was a floral tribute. "Only made it halfway then." I thought. I've heard it all started after people on holiday in the Med saw roadside shrines and mistook them for death markers.

    driveway

    That's only applicable if your driveway will discharge water onto the highway. If it falls back so water runs off into flower beds, or a soakaway, then you don't need planning permission. Edited; sorry, that's what you were actually saying. I misread it To the OP, are you going to work on the car? If so, loose stones are a no-no, as you'll kill yourself on your knees and not be able to jack the car. Tarmac always ends up with jack wheelmarks gouged in it but that depends whether you would be bothered about that. Block paviors can trap the jack and stop it rolling, but only a bit, so block paviors may well be your best option if you intend to get under the car
  18. The unopened one is now sold.
  19. Offered for sale, two 1:16th scale remote control toy supras. ZAP is the manufacturer's name. These were on sale in Halfords many years ago and have changable bodykits and wheels. IIRC, when you put the barry kit on, it goes faster, just like in real life. One is used and has some minor marks on the bonnet and LH side, not sure if those will clean off. That one is £15 One is brand new, even the box is unopened and the sellotape is still intact. That one is £25. P&P will be £4 on each. Obviously if the unopened one is faulty in any way, "out of the box" as I've not opened it ever, to check then I'll refund the £25.
  20. Given that you did actually pay all of that, where did you get the money from?
  21. There is Higgs Bosun condensate in McFlurries???
  22. I was gonna say! Its a working RAF base. Used to be tornadoes but I think its Typhoons and Apaches these days.
