Do you mean the government have made the whole Amazon rainforest depletion and extinction of species thing up, as a cunning ploy to deprive us poor taxpayers of our money?

Change is the only constant, as you say Pavel131. Humans are just a part of nature - we often see the world as if we were outside of it, & consider nature to be every other living thing but us. We're just another organism. We can't stop the world from changing but as we are aware of the conseque...

Very very sad news. She was a proper star.

I hardly ever cut my hair. Had 4 inches off in the spring (£7 cost) that'll tide me over till next spring.

If God had intended us to be short haired we'd have scissors for hands etc.

I know what you mean about the geeky/gadgety type of read, I do read a lot of that.

I love good fiction as well though - but definately not the types my wife likes.

The persistence of the Japanese whalers fills me with horror, they seem not to care what the rest of the world think. Just barbaric. How do they get away with it?

Can't help wondering if it would be easier to move people...

I can tolerate most music, very few songs make me switch off.

PV will develop into something completely practical and even aesthetically pleasing in the fullness of time. The link is to a fairly new development, solar slate. I've seen this installed at RES's HQ and it looks virtually the same as real slate. Suspect you might need deep pockets if you wanted thi...

Wow, that is a great tracklist! I was about to bemoan the lack of my beloved Cocteau Twins but there they are, the lovely Pearly Dewdrops Drop track 20 CD2! Nice to see 2 House of Love tracks as well - why weren't they massive? A smattering of 70s fare in there, most of which is innocuous enough but...

A fascinating bloke, and that book's a great read. Get a copy of his other one, Out of Town - equally fine!

Huh, load of rubbish. Talk about historical accuracy, they haven't even got Jack & Rose on it.
