Ruler of Planet Houston

I'd say it was our greatest strength I wrote an article on the existence of time (for fun of course) and my belief is that time only exists because we, as humans, need it to to explain changes in sound, vision senses etc... Letting go of the need to explain things such as time can give you a whole new outlook on life!

One of the biggest flaws in humans is their obsession and need to explain and make sense of things.

Depends on your starting point I suppose. If you flatly rule out the possibility that anything could survive death in any form whatsoever, then of course it's a ridiculous idea. I don't believe in ghosts or an after life in the sense that most do. I do believe that life as we know it (Jim) is not all holed up in a brain. I believe (a little theory of mine) that the brain may power and control our bodies, but it doesn't mean that putting a bullet into it will kill us. It may make our body become unresponsive, but who's to say our thoughts actually go with it? Impossible to prove without killing yourself, but then how would you tell anyone? Look at the chicken!

Rubbish! Can you not work out your family problems without first understanding mine and all the other families in the world? Can you not understand a book without first watching a bull fight in Spain? That is a terrible argument! Although I can see a slight bit of sense in that, as in not focusing on humans without taking in the surrounding environment, but to go outside of this planet would be totally irrelevant. Enough is known about the universe to have any use in human experience. We don't experience the rest of the universe so it won't affect us. Although I do think science is bollocks! Common sense is the way forward!!!!!!!

Scientists haven't come up with an explanation for their existence because there is no existence to explain.

Tell a 'believer' there is a ghost of a woman and child with no heads in a house and they will see exactly that. In my opinion, that is the start and end to 'are ghosts real?' arguments.

Start learning now and you can do this:

You're still young...cut your losses and just start forcing yourself to play right handed. It'll be an easier life in the long run!

I started on a Jap squire strat and it was fantastic. I regret selling it even though I sold it on after about 5 years for £250 and it was only £189 when I got it. That's when the Japs did good squires!!! First amp (bigger than a dinner plate) was a Peavey Bandit and I still think it produced the best metallica-type crunch sound! Now on a JS1000, bog standard strat, yamaha acoustic and a Vetta combo.

Aye..I've never been one for getting geet loads of guitars and amps and stuff. I have always had one main beast of a guitar, a half decent spare, an acoustic and a good amp (or POD at one point). Doesn't matter how many guitars I have access to, I still just play my JS

Back on topic...my first guitar

Hey..I managed to sort myself out with a satellite dish and all the sky channels off my paper round - that was the days when sky was just sky one, sky movies 1 & 2, UK gold and a load of shopping channels like.

50p per round in my day.

Paper Lads make aboot £100 a week these days don't they?

Do all the young 'ns use smileys in their school work these days?

I bet most people on here have spent more on beer and football than any of us have on guitar equipment over the years. In that respect, it's a relatively cheap hobby.

Yeah, I would estimate I have spent around £15000 over the last 20 years on guitars and amps, but if I hadn't sold stuff I would have spent about 2 or 3 times that much. And that isn't really a lot of money for 20 years of joy considering it has also earned me over £180,000 too

A Team was canny but it just had too much to live up to with the old series! I'd probably agree with that rating but I still can't tell Face and Murdoch apart!

Milk and a loaf of bread

Anyhooo! I'm pretty sure you have to send a copy of the contract if requested. But that should be a good thing if the contract is legit! No doubt he probably voided his contract on several parts.

Aye... and how in god's fucking name is that enforceable? When I was in Halls at uni, I lived in a 7 bed house - each with their own lock on the door. We ended up getting one license and keeping the TV in the communal kitchen. You probably don't ring any alarm bells and get investigated if the property has a license, but if some angry bastard wants to upset someone, they can just shop you all and apparently "they have ways of finding out!!!"

He didn't...but usually the best way to shut up a moaning twat is to scare the shit out of them...like a legal sort of black mail

"If you have a separate tenancy agreement for your room" own tv license required...lock or no lock! http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-...d-lodgers-aud2/

It's up to the tenant to sort out their own license if they have a telly, computer or even a mobile phone. It is only the landlord (or main house owners) responsibility if she provided all of the tv equipment for the lodger as part of the deal without stating in the contract they should pay their own license fee. In most cases, the tenant usually has at least a mobile phone of their own or a laptop so they have to pay their own. So he can moan on for his £25 and then get shopped to the telly people for thousands!

Not sure if you know this already, but a paying lodger is not covered by your TV license...they need their own. TV license evasion is a crime!!! Point that out to the twat then ask him if he really wants to continue his rant.
