    The Kursk submarine.

    I can't remember if they bothered to recover the bodies.
    They did along with a hole caused by a US torpedo

    How to wire a plug.

    Remember when every appliance came with bare wires at the end of the cable ?

    Once upon a time a Yorkie Bar had 6 chunks, and each chunk had a single letter Y, O, R, K, I, or E on it. They were good times.

    The good times.

    I'm sorry but are you ****ting me? The Internet is probably the greatest thing ever invented, I can't remember my life before the internet and when my broadband goes down I am in a mood until it comes back. The Internet is class :cool:

    Bush and his cohorts wanted an "in" in the Middle East to get at oil and also to set up a preliminary post for an attack on Iran.

    Main reason: Oil
    Secondary reason: to attack Iran

    You clearly have an obsession. It's not healthy. You should consider seeing someone about it.

    Had a good read of a paper today - it was strange. They could write and actually knew ****.

    It was cool, try it.

    No Kim Arse woman either.

    We have a set of those at home, gotten either before I was born or when I was very young, I remember using them a total of once and they are all still immaculate sitting on a shelf.
    See, you have forgotten.
    Yes true, but on days when my BB goes down I remember, if I never had it I probably wouldn't miss it but the fact that you get to have everything at your finger tips, movies, music, art, knowledge, culture, cat pictures, it really is all its cracked up to be.

    Na - real life , try it. An art Museum, meet a friend, go to a gig, go to the pub, go to a play, walk on the beach.

    I've tried a bit of real life last few weeks - this craic is overrated - ;)

    It would take over RTÉ all day and people ringing in with pledges.
    They'd be advertising it months in advance

    I've forgotten where the money even went :confused:

    All great if you're living in a city, living in sticks when money is tight no so much.
