There are some weird comments on there too.

i.ve bin out of this scene for a while now. But wot is it wit dubstep anyway. I.ve heard some bits on radio one on the nite shift. An i dont get it. I mean i'd love to c how people even dance to this shit. There seem,s to be no (not sure if... this rite word) drop nothin to get ya goin. If i was out now on a ten drop an was waitin for it to "drop" an for my head to explode as little ones go pop in me belly. Wen i first started ravin there was always a bangin tunes almost one after another. I mite be out of touch but even i no that everythin evolves, from the hectic day of white gloves, an sweaty cunts in shell suite,s thumpin the air. Lol remember camdon palace TI,walked in laughed an walked out. Mother fucka mother fucka. Boom boom boom boom. Those were the days. An now we got dubstep...

Charlotte Metcalfe writes for the Spectator so I'm sure that she is just digging for traffic.  Who can't resist clicking on the "X-factor Row SHOCKER!"  links in the right hand menu?

(hello person I've never met in real life - how's science treating you)

It's all right, missing Bristol, Cambridge is like living in Hogwarts 24/7 but everyone's in Ravenclaw

A lot of people would argue that there's not a whole of difference between wearing fur and eating most meat on the market though, from an ethical point of view.

It is an interesting point; a lot of people like to think that the animals that they are eating have led a happy life beforehand.  Interestingly domestic cat and dog fur farms are widespread in a lot of countries, not sure why people aren't keen on wearing dog fur but they will happily wear chinchilla/mink/fox.

[ Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Norway, Russia etc etc all use fur without problems.

  I don't think that they have no problems dude, Germany is the only country out of that list that has heavily regulated fur farming.  I don't think that the other nations you mention are well-known for their kindness to animals in general, whether in fur farms or not!

i always thought these were a bit labor intensive

Moleskin is  just heavy cotton, it's called moleskin since it replaced tradidtional moleskin when cotton plantations became widespread.

I think that people are against fur because it's almost exclusively done on fur farms, where it's been well-documented that there are cruel practices in keeping animals, slaughter methods and transport of live stock, which results in the death of a lot of the animals by suffocation or are driven mad and cannibalise each other out of distress.  

As far as I know, cattle livestock for leather aren't kept in those sorts of conditions since their primary use is dairy and meat, and the leather industry is veyr much secondary to that.

If they'd told this stuff in physics lessons I'd have fucking paid attention!

Physics is the most fascinating subject but all my teachers at school wanted to talk about was fucking springs! Fuck off, springs!

Sadly you have to sit through the boring springs stuff for ages before you can handle the planet-sized stuff, bit like sorting the hardcore springs fans from the casual types who are only in it for the Hubble pics

I probably did when I was about 13 years old, if I were to do it now I'd sound like a knob-end

Very easy homework, just cut and paste from Wikipedia hehe.

Very eloquent spam, and slightly sinister!  You know where you stand with cock enlargement and cheap clenbuterol adverts; it's like a welcome friend.  

is this some twisted publicity stunt. 

I reckon it's viral advertising for Jacob and Co with the tagline: "So good that Timbaland almost topped himself when he thought he'd lost his"

Probably the best return on £450 going, if you're willing to wait 20 years.

I'm thinking that Jimmy Page is about 70 so I'm sure that it'll peak when he dies, maybe I should buy one...

Timbaland's watch must be seriously minging according to the company's other items of delectation.

For shock value IMO 

[All IMO, not sure if there is any scientific backing for any of this.]

All IMO, not sure if there is any scientific backing for any of this.

Innit tho.  There is a lot of scientific evidence that chickens/cows/axolotls do feel sensory pain, and are distressed on their days leading up to their slaughter.  I'm not sure why people think that farm animals are blissfully unaware of their own torture, maybe it's to justify eating them.  To ask whether a chicken understands the concept of happiness isn't really understanding what an animal is; physical and mental pain are only physiological things which give animals a sign that they have to get the fuck out of there, there is no higher human self-awareness.

what if it had been a pig?

how would you put a cat in a pig?

those hairy pigs are pretty big, i've never done it, but i bet i could get a cat in a pig. it would not be pretty though.

all pigs are hairy. they just put hormones in the captive ones to make them hairless and pink, those ones that escaped for a few days turned into boars...

oh i did not know that, thanks 

  Yeah, I love wild pigs, they look like muscly little terriers and are so active and clever, and nothing like the bacon on legs things in farms.  Wild pigs are majestic creatures.

I personally don't think it's wrong to eat meat

 
Why do you not think it's wrong incidentally?  I don't have any problem with meat-eating, I just want to hear views on why people might justifiably do it, not having a go, just interested.  
 

Sigh, as I think has been pointed out in similar threads, people will happily eat battery farmed meat and eggs, and drink mass-produced milk, yet when the media tell a story about one crazy bitch being cruel to a kitteh, everyone goes and sharpens their pitchforks. It's a horrible story but if any of you really cared about cruelty to animals you would care about the mass cruelty that happens on a daily basis. Pick your battles.

  
Out of interest, do you know anywhere I can find out about non battery farmed meat, and more ethical dairy? It'll most likely be small local farms I guess but I'm up for putting my money where my mouth is and fixing up my eating habits a bit.

Go veggie/vegan adn learn to cook, solves all the problems.  

I've been thinking abotu this 0-- I love Clipse but their lyrics are pretty appalling and about crack husbandry at the best of times.  It's their timing with respect to the beats that has a lot to do with why they are deemed "good" rappers.  But then again it's loads of factors; "intelligent" lyrics that are supposed to be about more cerebral subject matter doesn't necessarily make a good track.

My neighbour has two male cats, which aren't neutered so they compete with each other by pissing and shitting everywhere to mark their territory, and I've had to buy citronella spray and an electronic high frequency cat-repellent which is meant to keep them away.  I really like cats but these two are just insane, I think that they are a bit neglected maybe.

Cruelty takes many forms

Calm down!  Yes this woman is clearly a knob-head but hey, we are living in an environment where you can't just kill people for harming cute animals.  Nobody seems to have any issues with farmers or doctors harming animals routinely.

Can't wait

....Eugh I cant even be bothered to explain properly... how ironic.

  Calm down!  Fact is that the majority of people watching it don't know anything about astronomy or even physics, so it's nice to have it explained in an interesting way.  I don't think that I'd like him describing orbital resonance on location in Hull.

That is actually how this chap talks and scientists aren't raelly media trained,  so I dunno whether it would be less irritating if the BBC just got Zainab Badawi or Terry Christian from the Word present science programs or something hehe

But yeah, that is ace.

tbh I couldn't watch it twice, but it's very funny, horrible embarrassment,nice to know that teenage years were sh1t for everyone hehe

They like moisture adn are totally harmless and clean so don't worry about them being there, and they are pretty cute too.

If you wnat to remove them then I'd get a dehumidifier -- the summer has been hot so there are probs more of them with more food to eat (they eat rotting veg matter)

FFS he ought to have just left it there, it would have picked off all the cockroaches in the house hehe.  And a few mice too

Peaked too soon really chap.  Nice try though 

today is a good day.... 

not had to use your AK?

hehe

No barking from the dog?

This is a clip of a track that Squarepusher has made for Ed Banger for summer release, there's a remix by Mr Oizo on the B-side, previewed on Rob da Bank's show on Radio 1.

It's a bit dull really, I was expecting somethign a bit more Ultravisitor, ah well.

Hehe my student just gave me two of them as a pressie! 

Calm down dear!  It is true that the UK is getting a bit more consumerist in the same way that the USA is, but the UK has a different culture, equating spending money to having fun isn't really a normal thing in the UK.  We can take part in buying material things as much or as little as we want, and so by simply not going there, we avoid becoming victims, and also the place will close down due to lack of profit, and this will be a clear message to big corporations that they cna't necessarily create a market simply by making the food more accessible/available in large quantity in one go.

Anyone going?  I am, should be nice

Worst wastage of an unattended Hijack account opportunity ever.

i suppose the other gender role swapping factor is mens testosterone levels dropping with age and womens increasing... which is one reason why men and women of the same age can have different sex drives for instance

And why when you reach 30 you realise that all blokes under 25 are terrified of you.

More peeps ask me out now that I'm 31 than ever did when I was a nipper, maybe they think older woman = bare ca$h

Unfortunately most relationships start with lust rather than like, you fall for a pretty face/ hot body and because you want to have sex with this person, lots, you assume you really like them and in your head build them up to be the perfect partner. Of course they can never live up to be the person you want them to be (especially as the prettier/hot ones quite often have more personality flaws down to the fact that they've never had to rely on their personality to get them anywhere), and so you end up not only with a crazy/boring/stupid/psychotic person but you actually still try and maintain a relationship with them because your libido still wants to have sex with them, and a part of your brain worries that if you split up you'll never have sex with a hot person again. 

Be strong, dump the mental one, find a nice girl with whom you have lots in common, who maybe isn't as obviously hot but not mental, and see what happens, you'll soon find her even hotter than the latter as you realise you can have sex with her as often as you like for no emotional blackmail 

w3rd!  And anyway, everyone's face is cute in it's own way, eye of the beholder and one man's Christina Hendricks is another man's Jimi Hendrix, or something
