Oh, aye. You’re all right with that, like, because it’s a race of people, and it’s a food. Lost me.

Where's anyone complained? Write a fucking letter and put it under your pillow, in the morning your piece of white shit (ipod) will be magically replaced by a gun. Put gun to head. Clearly your time of the month. It's black.

I'm getting that on a T-shirt. With "....but don't send me an Indian cab driver" on the back.

Got myself one from ipod doctor for £12 + £3P&P so you can all stop googling now. I'll keep you informed on the ease and longevity of replacement.

Where's anyone complained?

Ipod just died on me yesterday. In the past I've gladly taken the opportunity to get the newer model, but those pissy little Itouch fuckers wouldn't hold my Dylan collection let alone everything else I require. I'm going to have a whack at replacing the battery myself. Can anyone recommend a place to get the cheapest trustworthy internal batteries?

ha ha, 90% of your lot voted they would rather see us go down than Sunderland? Rivalry? No idea. That was because it's a good atmosphere when 3000 mackems turn up as opposed to 300 Conkeys man.

Smeeagain...

Love owt like this me.

Counting wars, I'd blame Hitler for the 60,000,000 WW2 deaths.

I generally like one song per album from them. Do you Realise? is quality on that one. The Gash, is the good one on Soft Bulletin. Yeah Yeah Yeah Song from At War With The Mystics. etc.

Slacker Uprising. I can see why it didn't get a cinematic release. There's only so much of Michael Moore trying to whip up a crowd you can take. The self congratulation is a bit sickening too. "Look, all these people love me!". Maybe before the election it would have stirred me a bit more, as it is, the only moments that affected me was the support for military personell and their families.

This place misses Rob W's thread starting. Anyway... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7727332.stm

I'm saying no to that. Nice selective posting, entirely ignoring most of the rest of this thread and recent 'real world' events. There was Trevor MacDonald tonight thing on Monday btw which actually described the ethical dilemma in prescribing Avastin (for colon cancer) quite well; it showed the point of view of cancer sufferers, cancer charities, the drug company (evil Roche iirc), and NICE. Did you see it? Would Avastin be available under the NHS if you had your way, or conversely would it be fairer to let no-one have it? I did say "the WHOLE debate is moot" in response to no-one in particular - and with a wink. Can't see why I'm being picked up on not relating it to a specific point five months down the line. I didn't see it I'm afraid. Chez, i know "Its a mix of funding between, government, employers and individuals throughout Europe." but when it comes down to it, isn't the main difference between, say, France and the UK that they just spend more on their public system than we do on ours? In terms of % GDP. The massive increases in healthcare expenditure over the last 5 years in the UK have brought it in line with France, Germany etc in terms of % of GDP. About 9%. It was about 3% below average 8 years ago. I thought we were still below average... http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/334/7591/442 ...but that's over a year old. Apologies for googling something Renton. I see this sort of stuff as an opportunity to learn something though. A year old and data up to 2004 on spending as far as i can see. The spending trend has continued. Still between 8 and 9 per cent of GDP according to the Telegraph a couple of months back. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/article3081376.ece The BBC had it under 8% this year too http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7487834.stm Isn't france pushing 11%. I've no idea what the European average is currently sitting at. I can't find anything to say the UK met or surpassed it in the last 4 years tyhough. I'm not sure of your point here. France is pushing 11% if not more but over 20% of the funding is private. My last point was just for info (although you may choose not to believe what the OHE produces as it has links to industry - that would be daft though ) Oh, alright, seems odd that you'd make that point to me when I've never said the pharma industry shouldn't be involved.

As it's the ONLY industrialised nation that doesn't provide healthcare to all it's citizens (truly private), I assumed the OP was advocating the US system to tell the truth. As Chez says though, he was just being provocative. We can all agree America is fucked up.
