    Shootings in US schools

    I used the Americanism here as it was phrased that way in the definition you posted and I didn't want to confuse any of our ex-colonial cousins. Rest assured, I still say 'trousers', as a rule (albeit at the appropriate moments, I don't just walk around saying it). It's what the Queen would...

    The One True Religion

    Thus far, yes. Whether he'll ever slip is anyone's guess, but the same could be said for a religious person, surely?

    The One True Religion

    I vaguely remember something about, if your son is lazy and disobedient, you are supposed to get the men of your town to stone him to death? I may be remembering incorrectly, as it's been a while since I went to Sunday school. It was somewhere near the bit about cutting off your wife's hand for...

    Okay, he definitely needs to rethink the skin colour and the jersey, but you could easily have taken the rag off your head (and who knows what height your pants are set at?) :D

    Quote: It is generally used to refer to any black person who is seen wearing a numbered jersy, pants pulled down six to eight inches below the belt line, and a rag tied around their head. Perhaps, but I've never seen a picture of you. :D

    There are many possible derivations: One, the Spanish angle, comes from 'Hombre'. Also used as 'Homes'. A second comes from the French 'Homme'. A third from African-American culture in the 40s and 50s. Take your pick. :D http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=homie

    The One True Religion

    I see two possible causes, both connected to the fact of easier access to information. Firstly, people are more aware of the reasoning behind things that happen (invasions, wars, etc.) and are quicker to latch onto certain words when world leaders explain their motivation. Religion being a...

    Query - Lookup/Query Repeating data entery

    You could set the table property to not allow duplicates in certain fields or you could perfom a search before saving any changes, to check if the data is already in the table?

    Good Morning All,

    I think Toronto's got 17 degrees forecast for later this week, so you have my sympathy. I doubt we'll get the ridiculous minus figures for a while, yet.

    See? Just as easy to post relevant figures as it is to come out with the irrelevant stuff you have been. Now, at least your arguments can have some basis in fact. lol (I know that comment wasn't funny, but nor are the majority of the postings you use it in) 'Considered' by the group who carried...

    Good Morning All,

    A little overcast? Does that include the fog that's so heavy I can't see the ground from the office window? :D

    Good Morning All,

    As long as I amuse, the day hasn't been a total waste.

    Good Morning All,

    I found this out a little while back - about the site, not your head - when my Mother sent me a link to the area containing a house of someone we know, only for us to find that it was just a field. There is still a picture of a house my parents moved out of back in 2001 and you can clearly see...

    I thought it was just me, but it's good to see someone else didn't follow that comment.

    Can't speak for Rich, but as someone who saw that film in his adolescent years I can assure you no research was needed on my part ;)
