I remember a few years back I could go down Argos and get a cassette walkman by Alba for £3. Why is it now that the prices have more than trippled? Is there something I'm missing? Had a look on ebay and the cheapest one I saw was £8. And in the listing:- WTF? Just waiting for minidiscs to increase tenfold to sell a spare 10 pack of recordables. Anyway I'm thinking of converting my old tapes to mp3 now as I haven't the facility to listen to them. Is this a good idea or will I get bored easily?

An Accuracy in Academia Address by Bill Lind Variations of this speech have been delivered to various AIA conferences including the 2000 Consevative University at American University Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic. We …

Yes this is The Pod's self destructive behavior thread series. Personally I've got an ironically powerful will for a fella so prone to ridiculous excess and indulgence. But enough about me, share your knowledge on the topic and I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

Help with remembering movie...
by Guest Mirezzi- 11 replies

Somebody at WATMM posted info about a movie once and I can't remember its title. A clip was posted, too. It had great music, sort of arty/experimental. It was in the woods, may or may not have had to do with cannibalism or some shit. I think it came up during a discussion of John Boorman / Deliverance. For some reason, I thought it might have been that Anthony Hopkins / Alec Baldwin movie, The Edge, but that looks like a total pile of shit. Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? haha....

So I'm starting this new job on Monday and it requires me to speak extremely good and polite english over the phone, which is not my mother tongue. I'm gonna have to deal with upper crust gentlemen and my employer warned me about them being picky on words. My question is : what are the rules and vocabulary I should know to speak very polite english ? I know that I ought to use "shall" and "may", but what else ? What are the typical politeness phrases to use on the phone ? "please hold the line " ? etc.... HELP !!!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/03/gaza-flotilla-attack-british-activists-return-turkey so the activists from turkey are saying that if they took the boat to the israeli controlled port, the supplies don't get to palestinians in gaza. and the israelis are saying that of course we would send them supplies, and they defend their actions in international waters by saying there was reasonable suspicion that the boats were carrying contraband/intended to break the blockade and this gives them the right to commandeer the boats. sup? here's another article cause that guardian one is just kinda about the brits flying back. http://www.aljazeerah.info/News/…

no links coz I'm on my iPhone and can't be bothered with all the fiddly copying and pasting, but I hear the notorious STUXNET worm is now being linked with UFOs and is even being heralded as the precursor to an alien invasion by some. interestingly, STUXNET seems to have reached China now and the media is alive with UFO reports... it has been called "the most sophisticated piece of malware ever discovered" and is apparently still very much active. nobody knows it's true purpose and a large part of the code still remains encrypted. sounds more like Skynet than UFOs to me, but it's bound to be something exciting involving cyborgs and/or reptilian alien invaders. take…

So I am going to see Caribou tomorrow which is pretty exciting since I missed him couple of months ago. The buddy I usually go to shows with has moved to Toronto for University and I am sick and tired of taking my other friend who is not into music. He would probably enjoy it since its Caribou but I dont want to feel guilty about him not having a good time or whatever. Also I am thinking that once the show starts, you are enjoying the music anyways so you dont really need anyone to hangout with.It might get a bit boring/awkward between the opening set (Emeralds) and the main set though and the fact that I dont drink probably makes it worse since I cant just sit somew…
