| I agree that the heat is drying out our skin. I've been lucky today to not be as itchy as I usually am in the winter. I noticed that if I get a thorough back scratch, it helps with my itching for the rest of the night. Yesterday I had my back scratched all over for about half an hour with short bre... |

| I don't have the technology to do it anyway. But that brings me to my next consideration: you don't actually own physical media, only the license to watch the movie, and as this video argues, if the license on the movie ever expires, it's technically illegal for you to watch what you own.

Indeed, co-operation is better than competition, though the Tories pretend it's the other way round. |

| You're right, analogies don't stand up well to close scrutiny, and like the Zen people say, the converse of a statement always contains truth. The weakness of the parable is that there isn't always time to plod slowly and thoroughly through every task, and not all hares are complacent enough to blow... |

| I am the tortoise. Very slow, but I get there while others don't because they think they can rush everything, and they get overconfident and screw the job up. |

| I don't get lost often because I know what I'm like. So before I make a move, I do research, I make maps and notes to pre-empt the expected problems. A lot of it is memory trouble - I can go into a public toilet at say an airport, and when I come out again I can't remember whether I approached the t... |

| Yes I often have problems with them. They tend to be way too reductionist, not enough granularity in the allowed choices, and I'm not the only one to criticise that forced-response thing they love so much, where there's no "don't know".option. I can see why they do it - to save time and mo... |

Lots of flavour, and a nice stodgy texture. If I ever want a change of diet, pasta will be high on my list of... |
