Wow! Beautiful pics, Duman. I went to Cornwall for the 1999 total eclipse in the UK. It was lousy weather which hampered things a little, but the period when it went total was amazing. It went really dark in a matter of seconds and you could see the shadow moving up the river. The birds were...

Art has become more an more challenging over time, I think. When the Impressionists arrived on the scene people were outraged at the new style, almost disgusted, like the way many people now react to 'modern art'. I appreciate the skill of painting something that 'looks like what it's supposed...

I'm not even going to try, because I know you will do me every time. I actually agree with many things you say. You've obviously got your sh*t together much more than me, but I just think you should be rallying parliament or something, rather than a Japan information website.

Dear SV-F, I appreciate your views, and I can see the point you are trying to make. Mankind's industialisation of farming has created many problems (BSE, Foot and Mouth disease, destruction of rain forests etc...) + all the other day to day wrongs you mention. However, I don't think you...

Why don't you guys just chill and smoke a blunt ?!! - Rich

Yes, that is the trouble with Sushi outside Japan. Sometimes it is hard to find or can be expensive. I'm lucky that I work in London and there is more about, but I can only go to have Sushi in a restaurant occasionally, as a treat. The local does a set special for around 14 pounds, which isn't...

I saw a cool thing on TV once with Rastafarian poet/legend Benjamin Zephaniah and he showed the huge range of things vegans can eat, and trying to show some of the nice things you don't have to miss out on. Also, being vegan doesn't always mean you are pale and thin. I have a vegan friend and he...

The nihalist speaks again !

Fair point, but none of us are experts. This thread is about speculation. Also, there are some sci-fi authors who are practicing scientists, or at least conduct a lot of scientific research, so sci-fi is not always nonsense. A lot of it is informed speculation.

I'm sort of in two minds about fashion. I just take bits that appeal to me. I have a certain look that I like, which has slowly changed, but when I see people who slavishly follow fashion it can look a bit rubbish. I worked in Soho for several years and I saw some genuine 'fashion victims'. A...

It depends what you want out of life Moff. but I understand what you mean - that you need to be tough to get to the top(e.g in a job), that's a fair enough opinion.

Thanks Kinsao, that is kind of reassuring. I think there is some truth to the saying ''Treat them mean, keep them keen''. when it comes to getting the ladies. However, in other areas being nice is quite useful. I don't think I would have got this job, or the one before it without my better...

I still prefer 'nice' people - I don't care if being nice sucks. Nice as in kind, considerate, reliable - what's wrong with that? I'm not sure I'd want a girl who is attracted to nasty men, anyway. They're just setting themselves up for years of misery and bitterness later on. Peace!
