    I thought all my threads were pish according to MF.

    Another quality SY01 thread will be out there before the day is out. Just need some more rabid musing time set aside.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        Like the Atos witch hunt, I keep seeing posters and comments about Atos sponsoring the paralympics whilst assessing the disabled for the DWP despite the fact they've been sponsoring the Olympics and Paralympics sine 2002.

        Shouldn't they be targeting the paymasters rather than the stooges? It's not as if it's their core business.

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          I prefer savoury, aren't there any samosas or pasties?

              Imagine the power we could wield. Moving markets, driving down prices. Scary stuff.

              Global peasants revolt? Why has this not yet happened?

                I was stupid enough to think that the Occupy movement would trigger this and sacrificed a good 6 months earnings to the cause ...

                It has happened historically, but I reckon that marketing and indoctrination has got to a point that we just cant compete with. The masses are conditioned.

                  Whadda We Want?!

                  REVOLUTION!

                  After Corrie, obviously, but before Strictly Come Dancing starts .....

                    The origin of the word is actually quite an interesting historical tale.
                    Is was coined when a Yorkshire cricketman, Geoffrey Boycott, refused to pay any more subscriptions to the MCC because they refused to allow him to wear his flat cap at Lords
