As Rob suggested there's no way the armed forces would be happy to become some kind of probation/community service. They have been trimmed in recent years (probably correctly) to a lean, professional outfit - why divert them from that just because scum parents don't teach morals and schools are too weak?

Previous generations who did have national service were all morally better than us. There were no murders, no rapes and so much respect for the establishment that crime was almost unknown. This was of course also the generations that generally ignored child abuse, sent rape victims and single mothers to asylums and then lectured subsequent generation on loose morals. BTW The Krays were rotten evil bastards, anyone who defends them is an apologist for murder.

Julie Newmar - the original Catwoman - was the first female to perk my interest. Never really fantasised (ie wanked) over anyone famous though - always preferred "real" women I know (of course "know" can be a pretty loose term).

Is it on battery or plugged in? - maybe your battery is completely screwed.

The film could just be the layer of thermal compound that a CPU should have between it and the heat sink. I had a similar problem with my laptop which I eventually found was due to the partition on the HD not being activated. Can you actually get into the bios and if so is the HD recognised? If its not then it may be the same problem I had. I fixed mine by booting with a CD with FDISK on it and re-activating the HD.
