    God

    Yes, but the apostles are probably better people to follow than Michael Bay, director of The Island... Well it's not, and you're sounding like a true atheist :P Yes, perhaps I am, but I think that people should think long and hard before choosing to believe in a religion, and that's...

    God

    How seriously can you take a child's beliefs when they are so non-discerning as to include the tooth fairy and Santa Claus as plausible things in which to believe. When you consider the vast pantheon of religions out there and the complex theology required to grasp one religion, let alone...

    Are swans sinister?

    Swans are really quite harmless, as long as your canoe paddle is longer than their neck. Just tap them on the beak and they fly away pretty quickly, without breaking your arm or anything. I don't know where swans have got such a bad reputation from either, OK so they have a hissing fit every...

    How long can you hold your breath?

    2 minutes 30 is not a problem. I do have quite a significant set of lungs though :P

    Raising Tuition Fees

    So, subjects such as philosophy or classics, which if taught at a good standard are not easy disciplines, should be abolished? Even though these courses consitently produce the best graduates who have a complete skill set and are very sought after by top firms. But then what about subjects...

    Raising Tuition Fees

    wow, the other universities must be pretty bad for History if yours in the best and you don't even have a History society... Anyway, Furie, about the loan repayment, the current rules are that you pay 9% of your annual salary over £15,000. That would mean that someone working for 40 years...

    Formula 1 2009

    I reckon that the FIA are a bit annoyed that he was driving round the track with bits falling off his car and have decided they need to punish him for that as much as the accident, which was hardly his fault. Anyway, the race has put in an awkward position, because I want to root for Brawn...

    What bank are you with ?

    Oh one of those accounts that charges you a tenner a month for the privilege of taking your money to earn about a 15% return and give you a rate of interest which is currently sitting at 0.25% according to their website. It's no wonder that bankers were grabbing the bonuses as they knew that...

    Formula 1 2009

    But of course it's stupid, it was Ecclestone's idea. Besides, it's not as stupid as the way they used to do it with the season split into two halves and a number of the best races from each half contributed to the total score. Anyway, I might as well say it, mainly because it needs to be...

    "Cutting Edge" Trip reports

    Thorpe Park is a joke, from the rides, to the front line staff and right up to management. There are no excuses either, this is not a new problem for Thorpe, the situation was the same in February, and for the openings in 2008, 2007 and even Southern Slam four years ago, nothing has changed...

    Dreamland Plans being revealed.

    Whilst anything that Dreamland attempt will probably be worth a visit, I'd like to think they'd include a ride like Turbine at Walibi Belgium if the oppurtunity arose, although it's only about 30 years old, these are becoming qute rare and it's unlikely that we'll see any more being built any...

    If you saw someone push over an old lady..

    I think someone's watched The Bourne Ultimatum one too many times...

    Dark Chocolate

    Green and Black's Maya Gold is the best chocolate in existence though. There's nothing wrong with dark chocolate, so it tastes a bit bitter, there's nothing wrong with being a bitter either.

    Formula 1 2009

    ^He's probably only being offered a drive because of the sponsorship deals the team expect him to get due to his name. But what I really want to do is to curse the fools at Honda and Virgin for blaming F1 on being bad for the environment. Technology from F1 crosses over onto road cars all...

    "Now Showing"

    :) Best film ever... Or so I thought when I was 13! Saw Revolutionary Road the other day and it was quite a disappointment, having seen the trailer, I knew to expect a depressing film about the difficulties of surburban life and of a marital disintegration. Yet despite fine acting from...

    "Now Showing"

    No, I don't think he did, although I think that Taylor called it an intelligent film though, which is even worse!

    Camelot Theme Park Goes Into Receivership

    I don't like to see parks disappear at the best of times, but I will take some solace in the fact that the demise of Camelot will hopefully mean an increase in visitor numbers at Blackpool, although I don't imagine it to be significant, as I expect those who visit Camelot probably also visit...

    "Now Showing"

    Nope, wrong future. The dystopian society of Brave New World is what humanity needs to strive towards. Well either that, or a Judge Dredd system of governance, in which I'm the only judge...

    "Now Showing"

    Brazil is an excellent film which means it's the exact opposite of Monty Python, which is dull as ditchwater. Saw Frost/Nixon recently, but couldn't help but think how the film made the interviews appear a lot better than they actually were. Nixon didn't confess in the real interviews, and...

    Alton Towers Latest Rumours/confirmations

    Agreed! Everyday I thank my lucky stars that the 1938 "Theme Park for every Village Act" was successful. How else would villages right across the country cope if it wasn't for the theme parks on their doorstep. They'd have to attract those ultra-rare tourists who would be interested in the...
