A new contestant for the title... BBC NEWS | England | Cambridgeshire | Woman runner-up in one-horse race

Hahaha

Ach bollocks, De Vries is away to Wales, joining Mason in the ever-growing list of defectors who are actually good. We're good for enxt season though, Greg Paterson has signed a new contract...

I wonder what they'd say at work if I busted in with a "I have no strong opinion either way on the topic of abortion" t-shirt?

Good man for admitting it. Let's face it, everyone knows that oil is at least some of the reason Western countries are in Iraq, but I don't think anyone from Britain of USA has admitted it yet. At least this guy is honest.

Or Pest Control. Or we could organise a good ol' fashioned lynching.

I'm off on a grand tour of Central Europe with some mates next week. We were going to go interrail, but then the bastards changed the pricing system which means it's now only really worth it if you're away for a month, and want to visit a lot of countries. We're taking in Slovenia, Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland in two weeks, and worked out it would be cheaper to just buy tickets as we go. In a related topic, I have a European Train Timetable for 2007, RRP 16, yours for just 10!

Oh Kimy.

I'm not saying she was right to wear the t-shirt, simply that she is entitled to her opinion, having experienced the different emotions that come with motherhood and having been in a situation where many people choose abortion. The manner in which she made her point was chidish, and I wish she'd go away. Also, yep, the school shouldn't have said anything, and it shouldn't be in the news, and we shouldn't be talking about it!

And... There is probabaly more Pepsi being produced now than 650,000 years ago, it doesn't mean it results in Global Warming.

"Procure"? That's retro.

She was awful in the Christmas Special. Am I the only one who doesn't think the new Doctor Who is THAT great? Sure, it's entertaining, but I think it tries a bit too hard. I can't describe it exactly, just a sort of uncomfortable feeling...

I think at 16 you can pretty much have developed and well-balanced opinions - she's also pregnant so surely she's better placed to comment than either of us?

Just the wee bit right at the start. I like the voice bit later on.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 'Scepticism' over climate claims What do y'all make of it? I'm far from a scientist, but I'm a bit sceptical. Did anyone see AL Gore on the news last night? He got asked about this MORI poll, and the conversation went something liek this - Interviewer - But didn't you say the sea level will rise by 20ft? Big Al - No, I said IF the Arctic Circle and Greenland melted, THEN the sea level COULD rise by up top 20ft. Interviewer - (Bemused expression)

It's actually a perfectly valid opinion.

That's the sweet sound I wanted to hear

I hate you

A record doesn't have to be technically perfect to be succesful. Take Bright Eyes, their early stuff isn't recorded or mixed particularly "well", but in the end it all adds to the charm of the music. Obviously, that doesn't work for ALL bands or musicians, but it is perfectly valid to not spend time and money on YOUR music if YOU don't think it's worth it, or if that's not what you're looking for.

In a related topic, the G string on ALL my guitars seems to break really easily. At first I thought it was my guitar, but I've realised it happens on all my guitars. Now, I don't really use the G string more than others for riffs, etc, so is it just that I strum like a reject? TOo hard on the G or something?

I like it. Has a sort of retro-clasiness. Decent tunes too.

I've got a couple of electro-acoustic guitars and I'm getting a bit pissed off paying 15 a pop for a set of Elixir strings. They are good, but there's got to be something decent out there for cheaper - I'm always a bit wary of ones like "Super-Duper Strings" for 2.99 though. Any thoughts?

That's sickeningly bad.

Is that...yeah... Kimy being positive. Shoite. I agree though, it is good. The drums are quality, just not sure about the scratching.

Ryan Adams has a lot of simillar songs. I think it's good, a helluva lot better than the pish he did with The Cardinals. Out of interest, what's with the "best thing since Heartbreaker" tag that flies around? Surely Gold is a much better record?
