We used to do it at Uni all the time (and if you can do it as a uni student, it must be cheap!) - and you can make some great beers. If you want to do it really cheap and easy (and you like the stuff) you can always start with Ginger beer. I believe it's a lot easier (can't stand the stuff...

That must be like in Australia where you commonly call a guy with red hair "blue"!! Those guys are sooooo witty...

It all makes sense now!!!! Such a classic comedian...

That's a bit of a gross generalisation. (not the cheaper labour rate of course). I have worked with a number of companies that offshore certain departments and I can't say that quality is necessarily affected at all. This is only true from a local/community perspective. Offshoring is clearly...

I got one of these 105 horses from the tiny 1.2ltr engine.

They didn't seem to be the usual Christians I speak too - those guys really stand out.

Slippery slope now? I'm sure we can discuss it in detail when it happens (and I'll be with you in opposing it), but for the time being the only change is the packaging.

Can't say I have a problem with it - it won't stop current smokers from smoking, but that's not the intention. Freedom of choice is not being infringed but it is hopefully reducing the appeal of cigarettes from the sector of the population that isn't that good at making entirely rational choices...

Because I am a little bored at the moment. Edit: Summary of OECD Nations Gov employment figures: http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/36/3/43926778.pdf See figure 3:

The Russians have built a bomb in the 60's only 1 order of magnitude smaller so I'm sure it is quite feasible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba

I'm confused - can you draw a picture? I don't think you have solved any problems here but i'll reserve any comment until I understand what you are actually saying.

Even though I grew up atheist in a relatively atheist family (my Dad was more of an atheist and my mother didn't particularly give a shit), it was still small town Australia where homophobia is the norm. I don't think my views didn't particularly changed until I found out a few friends from...
