Happy to help: Chav (or Ned here in Scotland) is a term for working class ne'erdowells.
A Dole Bludger is a term I've not come across before, but apparently it's an Aussie term for people who claim unemployment benefit and never look for a job.
I agree that UK NI should really be added in, but sales and property taxes - which is what Council Tax and VAT are - aren't income based taxes.
To be really fair, I suppose you would have to look at the total tax burden and also try and quantify what benefits you get back e.g. health care, public transport e.t.c.
Too true. I've logged onto Second Life a few times to see what all the fuss is about. Outside of the casinos and clubs the place always seems deserted. Almost like some post-apocalypse sci-fi film. I find it creepy...
Given the level of knowledge of the average PC World staff member this wouldn't be too far from the truth. While browsing in one store I overheard a customer asking a member of staff if a modem was a software modem. The assistant looked at the guy like he was crazy and replied that it was hardware...
A couple of years ago I got the 'Trenhotel' sleeper train from Paris to Barcelona. When the train crosses the Spanish border the gauage changes from standard to broad gauage. It was smooth enough for me to sleep right through it.
In 1994 the IRA used a mortar to attack London Heathrow airport. The result was more psychological/propaganda than actual physical damage as it highlighted how easy it was to do.
OK, so relate it to how normal passwords are stored - as checksums, or encrypted. Can you not md5 a fingerprint, keep the hash on the server, and just hash it at the reader each time?
If there is a new Personal Identifier then employers will need to store it to use in communication with various government departments e.g. the Inland Revenue.
Which numbers? Census data is not recieved from everyone (illegal or not).
With the British ID card though there will be a DB. Our equivalent of the social security number - the National Insurance number - is compromised as there are more active numbers than people in the UK. If the government replaces the NI number with a new unique ID based on biometric data then such a DB will exist.
And all the personnel/payroll systems will need updating...

Surely you mean GNU/WOOSH?

That's a great idea, I'm with you...
Well, I bought some 285 ml bottles of Stella Artois at the weekend. I guess that's a metric measure, but it's probably close to half a UK pint.
The website allows you to make a donation to buy a laptop for a kid in the third world without buying one for yourself
I think an even bigger mistake was declaring war on the US after Pearl Harbour

Is that an African or a European swallow?

Just because Harmonious Botch eats two burgers at a time does not mean he has a fat ass you insensitive clod...

I've seen a similar thing on TV where crows where using sticks to get bugs out of holes in trees.

I assume it's the first...Can anyone name an area in the world where wolves and monkeys coexist?
Guess you haven't seen The Jungle Book...

It's not an orphanage, it's the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London.
The Great in Great Britain isn't to do with world stature, it's there to distinguish it from Britanny as in Bretagne and Grand Bretagne.
You mean the Rugby Union World Cup.
Or is that Rugby Yawnion...
