    Unusual Deaths

    The Darwin Awards website is always good for this. I did have one of the books. They list deaths caused by human stupidity or lack of common sense.

    World Politics

    It's the MP enquiry tomorrow (Tuesday) so should be very interesting to hear what gets said when they question Rupert Murdoch, James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks. Also today an ex News of the World reporter was found dead; he had previously spoken out about phone hacking being more common than...

    World Politics

    Biggest politics story here in the U.K. is the News of the World phone hacking scandal and what our Government intend to do about it. I was in London on tuesday and was outside the Houses of Parliament watching about 5 or 6 news crews all trying to get interviews with politicians or...

    How Much is Gas Where You Live #2

    Diesel is now £1.409 a litre. It's come down a couple of pence thankfully. Petrol I think is now £1.369 a litre, I have recently changed my car to a diesel Honda Civic so pay less attention to petrol prices and more to diesel prices. Was the other way around. On a more positive note my new car...

    How Much is Gas Where You Live #2

    In Bedford, U.K. it's £1,32.9 a litre for petrol and £1,36.9 a litre for diesel. Gone right up this last week or so, it was £1,30.9 (for petrol) at the beginning of last week. I live out in a village on the outskirts of Bedford so rely on my car and have to travel to get petrol. The last time my...

    "SQWEEGEL" Discussion **Spoilers**

    I finally got round to watching Sqweegel today after being told it was creepy by my mum and brother when it first aired over here, I had recorded it when it aired and not got round to watching it. I have to say I enjoyed it, quite creepy but as I'm also an X-Files fan I wasn't overly creeped out...

    You Know You Watch Too Much CSI:LV When ...

    The Football Thread #4 - It Is Not Soccer

    I'm watching a fair few games, at least seeing parts of all three games, if not an entire game per day. Doesn't matter if it's England or not, however for England games I go down the pub to watch just because it's way more enjoyable that way and the atmosphere is fantastic. Love my surround...

    World Politics

    I'm watching the coverage with interest. Rather pleased that the Conservatives won my constituency from Labour last night. Lib Dems have stated that they feel it is the right of the party who wins the most votes and seats to get the opportunity to form a Government. Latest results are as follows...

    CSI Quotes or sounds as ringtones/alerts for cellphones

    My phone has an mp3 trimmer so I can shorten the music files into ringtones. I have the HTC HD2 which is pretty similar to the iPhone except it runs off Windows Mobile. However I tend to use full songs as my ringtones. Not sure how different Blackberry phones are as never had one. However either...

    Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

    I'm gutted it's all over. What am I going to watch when I can't sleep? It was being broadcast at 8pm and around 11pm through the night over here so I could watch bits and record stuff if i had to sleep. Loved the Canada-USA game last night, was a really good one and great that the Host nation...

    Video games

    I own a PS3 and a DS lite. Which I play pretty rarely at the minute as not the greatest fan of video games. However I own both Singstar and Guitar/Band Hero games on the PS3 which make for interesting games as part of a group of friends. I regularly play Singstar with my housemates and other...

    H1N1 Flu Virus

    I've had the swine flu jab, I had it 2 weeks ago. It didn't hurt to actually have the jab but then a few hours later my arm swelled up and was really sore for the next 4 days. It's the only side effect I had from it. Think I got off lightly really compared to actually having swine flu as I tend...

    Love History?

    You assumed right, I am from the U.K. I did the whole of Man Utd's history as I was allowed to cover 120 years and at the time it was 1999 so Newton Heath/Man Utd had been in existence for just over 120 years. Quite handy really. I haven't visited any of the museums/places you mention though I...

    I did a joint degree in History and Sports Studies. I also did History at GCSE and got an A*. My favourite period of History is the World Wars but I also like the Egyptians, Victorians and Medieval periods of History. However I could talk for ages about the evolution of Medicine through time as...

    Need help to find an episode for school

    Try season 1 episode 6 "Who Are You?". That one is a great because they have to identify a skeleton buried underneath a house and then work out what happened. They also build a face out of plaster, clay and wax.
