    Perhaps exposure to radiation is what made him so strong? Having said that there's no evidence that he was green, but then again colour film hadn't been invented then.

    because of the new rule content providers will demand more money for content and companies like Netflix will simply yank it rather than have to pay more to allow you to access it anywhere...

    Right. They'll take 100% of nothing rather than 95% of something.

    You were is such a froth about OMG Gubmints that you totally failed to think it through.

    At least for a while until contracts are re-negotiated.

    Why do you think contracts trump laws? Netflix will either suck it up, or pull out and have to refund any subscriptions paid.

    In many ways it is. Income Tax is the same rate in Liverpool as it is in London. TVA (sales tax, sort of) is the same in Paris as it is in Perpignan.

    You can't say the same about Michigan and Montana.

    Last time I checked, water vapour wasn't even close to being the main component of the atmosphere.

    If Netflix allows that, it's liable to be sued by Sky

    IANAL. But I'll go out on a limb here and guess that the illegality of an action pretty much voids any contract about performing the aforementioned action in a similar way to Acts of God, force majeur, action of the Queen's enemies etc.

  7. I haven't heard that one before!

  8. The poor and working class maybe under educated, but their not stupid

    Well somebody certainly is.

    Interesting that they quote the cost in EUR - which neither Britain nor Sweden use.

    He wrote: "or open deny taking them"

    In the quoted bit it's in actual English, like with an adverb and shit: "or openly deny taking them"

    Now any person with an IQ greater than his pant size would have simply copied & pasted it. So he either hasn't worked how to do that, or he thought there was an error there and "corrected" it.

    The fact that it's pointless, lame, and bad style to repeat (almost) yourself like that is another issue for another time.

    Methane tends to stay close to the ground.

    Why would it do that when it's considerably less dense than air?

    It might be amusing, but it's probably got more of other people's money than Trump's tied up in it.

    In any case, he'd build a wall round it and make the mermaids pay for it.

    My understanding is that there was one scientific report that said an ice age might be coming. Maybe. Sometime.

    Then some magazine picked up on it, put it through the usual distortion filter, the TV picked up on the magazine article and it snowballed (sorry) from there.

  21. I was prosecuted for pirating Comic Sans and bigamy.

    The judge let me off with a warning. He said I'd already suffered enough.
