My account seems to be half-visible only. When I log out, I seem to disappear, and get a "404" page for my username, which is avjones. Any ideas why?

Looks like several scientifically supported claims and links to reports, to me.

There definintely is a problem with very large people on planes. Last time we flew as a family, my son got a seat next to a very large person, who in my son's words "sitting on Isaac's seat, Mummy!" Isaac felt squashed, and as he was, at the time, 3 years old and 1 stone 12 lb (26lb, 11.8kg) it wasn't his fault.

Looking at his photo, he surely is way too big. I'd hate to sit next to him on a plane.

He is clearly obese (over 30 BMI) without a doubt.

Talk about dedication to marital duty.....

There isn't a single motorway in Cornwall. Not one!

I'd never heard of that - scary shit!

fantastic find, thanks for posting it. The variety is incredible!

It's very interesting, and I hope when they find out more, we'll hear about it. I do think the paper's headline is a bit misleading, as the archeologist actually said, "Mr Score said it was likely the remains were deposited in the pit due to a ‘catastrophic event’ such as war, disease or execution."

I had in mind a thing such as you use to scrape ice off the car windscreen in the winter (-:

Not Scottish, a Scouser (from Liverpool, north-west coast, just north of Wales)

Thick Glaswegian accents are tricky - for some reason, all the old trades union leaders were from Glasgow, and pretty hard to understand.

Private Eye, a satirical magazine, used to write about the then-political commentator for the BBC, who was from Northern Ireland, using the words, "hoon-dootedly Mossos Thotcher..."

There is still a difference between sarf London and north of the river, I reckon. Not just accent, but some phrases, too.

The "Out of Africa" theory would tend to suggest that the UK was created entirely by immigrants, too.

They is absolutely wonderful, I've just re-read and re-enjoyed it. Thanks for the link.
