I rather assumed they were going down the "What These People Need Is A Honky" route in order to sell a film about South Africa. (Because, er, Morgan Freeman and Nelson Mandela don't have enough name recognition, and need Matt Damon to help them along.) *********************** "In science, there are no universal truths, just views of the world that have yet to be shown to be false" - J Forshaw & B Cox. |

Well, in fairness, at that point, SA rugby was pretty damn white, and they had a hell of a fight changing it, but yeah, I get you.
But US + rugby I do not see it working out for them. ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend! |

Oh, SA rugby being white is the point of the story - I do get that, and it was one of the key public moments of reconciliation. But there are so many worthwhile SA stories - really dramatic, filmable ones - which don't have a white guy front and centre. *********************** "In science, there are no universal truths, just views of the world that have yet to be shown to be false" - J Forshaw & B Cox. |

My dad is going crazy, our local theatre is not going to be showing Invinctus. He's really annoyed, he loved the book and had been waiting for ages to see it.

Ahahaha. Yes! This is what I thought! Mind you, 6'3" is not at all remarkable for a rugby player. Half of the Irish squad are that tall (until Stringer skews the average way down). ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are.

duncans stole it!
a) Where is Pkitty when you need her? b) what is the difference between tea tree waxing and PHD waxing apart from the slight price difference? ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. the parrot... ...gets tiresome. the parrot... ...i ate him.

is PhD waxing a specialist service for Doctors?

tea tree waxing?! Gah I'm allergic to tea tree oils, why do they keep putting it in everything?! |

was not written by a man named "Cougar" Member  |
I think PHD waxing is supposed to be more hygenic - instead of using the same pot of wax for multiple people it comes in little individual things. Like a single serve wax thing? I have no idea if I'm making sense or not.

my reading said similar - perhaps its the same(ish) stuff but more expensive because of the extra packaging needed... ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. the parrot... ...gets tiresome. the parrot... ...i ate him.

I have a stupid question: If it's written out as 134,95 Euros, does that mean it's almost 135 Euros or almost 13500 Euros?
Dad found this cool video with a thing called a Hexkopter, apparently it's a kit available from a German company, the only page I found is in German and cost is listed in Euros, only, it's confusing me. linky to page I'm looking at ? sweet dreams. make waves. find bliss. ~Neil Finn Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. |

If that was in England it would be 13500 euros, but since it's German, then I'm pretty sure it's 135 euros!

We use periods where you use commas in writing numbers here, and vice versa. Also, the comma would be in the wrong place if it was over 13000 Euros. 134,95 = 134 Euros 95 cent = 134.95 Euros in Anglo-American writing 13.495 = 13495 Euros = 13,495 Euros in Anglo-American writing ****************************************************************** Superbly Sublime Splendiferous Sterling Shiftmaster of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination ****************************************************************** You are a Player.

I've got good-quality supermarket sausages in the oven. They were in a sealed packet, in a very cold fridge, and are 4 days past their use-by date (ie: the 16th). They smelled fine, I'm cooking them well, and plan to eat them myself rather than give them to kidlet - but am I fooling myself that they'll be OK?

With chicken I'd avoid pushing it that far, but given we once cooked sausages and then ate them across two days camping in +20 degrees you'll probably be ok.
