    Does that mean it is, in some people's opinion? :confused:

    Getting pulled for morning after drink driving is completely unfair, especially if you've had a good kip the night before.
    You are of a completely different mindset while on the way up than on the way down.
    I bet that talking on your mobile while driving doesn't affect your concentration either.

    It's not overdoing it when spread out over 3 hours, no.
    That would be standard fare for me trapped in on a Saturday night watching X-Factor :mad: with the missus.

    You say copious but it easily enough done.
    There's about 10 units in a bottle of wine & 2 in a can of beer.
    So if I drink 2 cans at 9pm followed by the wine & finishing midnight there's still 11 units in my blood going to bed.
    If I pull out my drive at 8am for my morning commute I've still about 3 units in my system which they say is over the new cut off.
    Would you consider me a danger to other road users ?.

    Can't you clear more than one standard measure of alcohol per hour? Pffft, lightweight. :pac:

    Toothache and earache are way worse than childbirth according to my OH. I've never experienced any of them first hand so have no idea really.

    It's OK to hit a woman if she's asking for it.

    Well I've had earache before when I was younger and remember clawing at my head to try and make it stop. I seriously doubt its anywhere near as bad as childbirth though.

    If I had to suffer one, I'd take the earache.

    The pain experienced during childbirth would vary from woman to woman I think, depending on the size of the baby as well.

    Fanny's are loose, elasticated fabrics. They should take the stretch. Toothache is a different kettle of fish.

    I think it's fairly rare and I don't know if it's more a case of individual women feeling less pain or having a higher pain threshold or that variable grey area where pleasure and pain overlap. Some people enjoy hot wax, nipple clamps and whips but I don't think I've ever heard of an SM club specialising in ear infections :D

    1. I don't see what all the fuss is about with Arcade Fire.

    2. Gran Torino is one of the most overrated films on the planet.

    Writing their own songs or playing their own instruments doesn't instantly make an artist or band better than someone who doesn't. The songs can still be sh*t.

    What, in a "Oooh I've been a bad girl, are you going to 'punish' me sir?" kind of way?

    Otherwise no.

    Yeah, I'm agreeing with you and saying that on top of that, just because you write your own songs, doesn't make you better.

    I'm not arguing with you! I'm saying yes, she writes her own songs, but as you say Elvis never wrote any of his songs and they're still all better than Adele's. Writing your own material doesn't make you good.

    True a lot of acts in the 50's had stuff written for them. A lot of them did play instruments though, which is part of my criteria for a real musician, obviously this preceded the golden period for acts writing their own stuff in the 60s and 70s. I know I live in the past but I just can't find substance in popular music today, Rihanna and the like.

    l'm not either but l never said writing your own material doesn't make you good or better than anyone else. l'm not a big fan of Adele, l'm just giving the woman credit for writing her songs that have made her world famous.

    British and Irish stand ups aren't a patch on US stand ups.

    Anti-Americanism is fairly pathetic.
    American humour isn't cutting.

    Allowing people to legally own hand guns (owing to a law from the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY) is fairly pathetic. A country where 'socialism' is a taboo word , is fairly pathetic.

    I have no sympathy for fat people. If you're fat and you don't care, that's fine. But if you're fat and complain about it and don't do anything about it, then you need to shut up. Our society has created a 'quick fix' mentality, and nothing irritates me more than people who make excuses and shy away from putting in some honest effort to reach their goals.
