I'm already hooked on another far more lethal drug...alcohol

We seem to have raised an interesting generation of children. The first words spoken are no longer mama or dada but nanny or the name of the worker at the day care. Followed closely by mine and I want. Followed closly by f&#k and a$$hole. Most of the self absorbed self centred parents who had...

Are you doing your calculations in the report itself or in a query? Try doing your maths in a query, then run the report based on the query.

At my place of work, I recently finished a secondment to a different department. Seems I'm the only one that knows enough Access to do the job, including the outsider they hired to do it. Anyways, I fixed up the mess and made it work. Week from now, I'm starting a new job. Same firm but in a...

I thought you would have quit smoking after your recent health problems.

So now you have yet another excuse for doing nothing. Except of course to point out spelling or gramatical errors. Very gratifying to the ego of course but not a very practical course of action. What action will you be taking to deal with the original problem in this thread?

The point I was making is that is that at the height of the British Empire, Britain could have easily afforded the Welfare state. That Britain waited until the nation was nearly bankrupt at the end of WWII is a strange occurence. This is not intended as a condemnation of the British wefare...

How about... writing to the editor of your local paper writing to the Minister of Justice and the Home Secretary for more police and tougher jail sentences writing to the Minister of Education as to why these young people have no job skills, no education and therefore no hope. That would be...

What exactly are you planning to do about it?

What was the actual value of the war material supplied to Britain by the US? About 20 to 30 times the amount you quoted. Why did the US bill Britain for these item? Perhaps because the war was OVER. Without Lend Lease, you would be speaking German right now. The ammunition and fuel the RAF...

As it doesn't appear to be your problem...why bring it up?

I believe Edward is still married. Anne is still married (mind you husband #2) The Queen and Prince Phillip Charles and Camilla But you are correct. The Royals success rate at marriage pretty much mirrors that of the general public.

How about a band that's had an international hit in the current century. (not to put down the bands you mentioned as I like them)

If the US makes it back. History has shown us that the hardest thing to do is to go from bad to good. The easiest thing is to go from bad to worse. The US economy has been booming for the past 10 years based (primarily) on cheap fuel and bargain basement interest rates. Fuel is climbing like a...

The US leads the world in much the same way as Britain did when it was the world's only super power. A ruling class, rich beyond imagination and totally entrenched in power. A middle class who yearned to join the ruling class. A working class that lived in poverty and desperation and that the...

Would it suprize you to discover than in N America, football/soccer is considered a school girl game? While boys do play the game, it is primarily teenaged girls who make up the largest percentage players. This is fine as they seem to have fun and the legacy is the US domination of the women's...

I share the same birthday as Stalin, which means I have the same zodiac sign. I also have a moustache and grey hair and I'm known better by my nickname than my given name. Does this mean I'm going to start purging people and shooting them? Maybe I'll start small and just invade Finland.

Actually, this is quite true. When you're busy with somthing (especially with somthing that interests you) you forget how lousy you feel....til the next sneeze.

Try doing a spell check on it sometime. :D

Separation of Church and State. I believe all C of E assets in the UK are also tax exempt. There are an abundance of individuals in the US who got their mail order divinity degrees and stated their home was their church. No taxes. They still have to work to get their daily bread but all of...
