One thing on the NHS and the article linked to, One thing that seriously concerns me is these NHS "reforms" and changes, whether or not you beleive in privatised or socialised medicine (I personally support the latter) one thing both sides can agree on is that a social program that has too much interference from the private sector becomes nothing more than a conduit for these private companies to siphon tax payers money into corporate dividends. We've seen it time and time again, the most rediculous example being the American Banks Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac that just became dumping grounds for toxic mortgages and ended up with a system where they nationalise all losses and privatise all profits. They became unmitigated disasters. That's not to say you can't bring in a bit or corporate influence into a social program to make it more efficient but David Cameron is taking it far too far.

Yep I have returned
Thanks Pat, That'd be great. This is a lot of money for me to put together and the help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks again.

Heya everyone. Over Christmas a few friends of mine were kind-hearted enough to gift me some games over steam. It's probably time to replace my laptop and I have a budget of about £450 ($700), at most I could maybe get £550 ($850).

I was just wondering if I could get some advice on getting the most out of my budget for a laptop, I'm not really sure where to start and everyone keeps saying to me that a little knowledge can make you'r money go alot farther. I'm aiming to be able to handle games like Skyrim and Portal 2 comfortably. Maybe even scrape Mafia II in (to be honest I have no idea how aspirational I'm being here, maybe I'm dreaming).

Thanks in advance guys.

Very inventive, What happened to the Qu? It mentions in passing something about them being destroyed but that seems like way too bigger deal to just say "Then this happened" and not say who or what etc.

you can't see anything graphic. Just elephants.

sorry but i kind of have a right to put it up. Its like saying you don't like black people in the sense that its not nice but you have a right to do so.

I saw Huggruka on a forum about dreams.

did you pm him or anything?

They'd run brutus out one of the plant forums I visit with pitchforks and torches if he showed up with that signature there.

what? why?

Its elephants humping i know but they show stuff like that on T.V all day. Its U rated stuff.

I'm fairly sure Michael Jackson released a few songs before becoming a proffesional pedophile.

I only just found out that Ringo guy who narrates kids shows used to be in a band or something. Wierd huh?
eeeeeh, the things you learn.
