Apologies, I can't actually recall what I wrote originally, but I'll try to tone it down a little in future, or at least keep the ranting out of a love songs thread. Sigh. Nevertheless, the replacement was much funnier.

There're so many good love songs out there to choose from..... "Straight to You" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Be Mine" - REM "Honey Don't Think" - Grant Lee Buffalo "You Said Something" - PJ Harvey "Into You" - JPSE "Closer" - NIN are a few of my faves. P.S. If anyone tries to play Rod...

Five courses! How could anyone refuse you after a meal like that? Heck, I'd put out.... My current favourite. Pasta sauce Some oil 1 large brown onion 4 cloves garlic 1 red capsicum 100 g semi-dried tomatoes (more if you are filthy rich and can afford such things) 300 g bacon lots of tomatoes...

Not lamented by some..... about time those fossils let someone else have a go. Fantastic stuff from Warne, but nothin' much from the rest. What happened to Gilchrist? Ponting? Why the heck did they take the light? Ah well, it was a well deserved win to the English.

Many suggestions. I second (or third or whatever): Gene Wolfe (Book of the New Sun, Wizard-Knight, etc.). Good stuff and intersting ideas. I often find he takes more than one read though to fully undestand what the heck he's on about though. Ian M. Banks. Culture series: i.e. Consider...

Is Chinese Ghost story the one with the talented Amy Yip and her two co-stars? That was.... entertaining. Otherwise: Labyrinth (despite DB in tights) Alien Gremlins 2 LoTR SW4 Blade Runner Twelve Monkeys Transformers: the Movie The Princess Bride Highlander

Harp and Guinness? Intriguing. Beer's my favourite, I'll drink pretty much any variety if pressed, though I do have a few favourites. Anything out of the Coopers brewery is good, in particular the Sparkling Ale. Likewise, anything from Monteith's range, especially the Black. I've also had a lot...

I need an option in between "moderately" and "more than most". I drink responsibly during the week, and thouroughly irresponsibly during the weekends. Being drunk is fun. I drink less than I did when I was younger though: I certainly pay for my pleasures the next morning these days.

80? Really? I feel both proud and ashamed at the same time.... I wear coke bottle glasses, I'm a scientist, am extraordinarily uncoordinated, I watch Stargate (but no points?), I've read the LotR about 1600 times, I haven't read anything non-sci-fi or fantasy-related (except under threat of...
