Don't even think about it.

I'm gonna agree here as well. Had there been a fair trial where every fair eventuality had been looked at, then yes, China have the right to decide on their own laws and act upon them. As it happens, by the looks of it, there was a bit of "a trial just so we could say there was a trial". I think it was funky_peanut that mentioned Chinas international relations and internal civil unrest earlier ? And i think that's a fair point to make in this case. I can't help but feel they were proving a point. The PRC government are a totalitarian government with no shades of grey and if they have to make an example every now and again, they will.

1. The point is that his defence were arguing that he wasn't aware he was breaking any laws. 2. Tibet aren't breaking any laws! They are being bullied into submission by a power much greater than theirs. Is that ok? On the same tack, would it be fine for America to just wander over here and occupy us because they are bigger than us? Or would you care then because it's your well being that's at stake?

I think you're making a great point. Fair enough, it's not his fault that he is bi-polar, but if, as his defence stated, "he didn't know what he was doing" and that "He just believed he could do anything, and he could achieve anything", I think that is a VERY dangerous state of mind for a person to be in and there HAS to be someone with them to regulate their actions if they cannot. What if there was a bomb in that briefcase or something? It's all fair and well saying he deserves independence and all that, but when he is a danger to himself and everyone around him, I can't help but feel his independence should have taken a back seat.

An 18 year old female friend friend of mine has already written off 2 of her own cars and her sisters... My mum gets more stressed than anyone I've ever seen while driving. To the point where I bought her a sigur rs album in the hope it would calm her down... My other friend was going at 70 on the edinburgh bypass round a corner and let go of the wheel to clap to part of a song then yanked the wheel back just in time to stop us hitting a wall.

Agreed. 1

And if there was a band competition, i cant imagine meshugga and BC would be competing against one another... Completely massively different bands. I, personally, am a fan of both, but am more likely to sit and listen to a Biffy album. Just my tuppence worth =)

If i can find an Ebow somewhere that i can afford, I'd well be up for this.

I used to use stuff called gorilla snot to the same effect. Stinks to high heaven, but never dropped a stick.

Yeah that's pretty much right... I needed some single coils because my schecter always sounds angry... I wouldn't deny it o_O

Saywhit?!?! Don't recall ever having heard you say that in my life...

A german shepherd!

must have been dull times if bread was the best thing goin...

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

Naga? LOK'TAR OGAR!

Still, nice to know that people power still exists to some degree. Fair enough, no tyrants have been overthrown (debatable...), but it's nice to see folk come together to act against something they disagree with.

Tool. Always just went down as pretentious wankery to me. Although this may be partly due to the fact that i was introduced to them by a pretentious wanker...

Ooo thank you folks! Save me a bit of time, effort and cash!

Yeah, mainly wanting it for ambient kinda sigur rs style stuff. Thanks very much, I'll see if i can get a hold of a scot ads.

Hey folks. Looking for a little advice. I'm looking to replace the tremolo bridge on my ibanez with a standard bridge as i never use it and it just makes tuning a bitch. It's a strat style synchronised (I think that's what they're called) bridge. Is this possible? If i was to get someone to do the change for me (as i'd no doubt balls it up...) how much would that set me back roughly? Cheers all.

As in the mermaid one? If so, Ebay that bad boy

Inexplicably

Wanted one for a while now. Birthdays coming up soon. Might be lucky enough to have some spare cash. Ta

Batman is baws though. He deserved George Clooney...

I do, just apparently not the same ones as everyone else here =P
