    Favourite Type of Apple

    Now that is a very poor choice. A North American apple commercially grown by the French. :sick: Eggmundo has the right idea. If you go to West Deane's Apple Affair in October you can try 100+ native varieties. Each area of the country has its own variety that seems tailor made for it.

    Good news and bad news.

    So you have a little book that contains all of the "correct" answers. You argue in exactly the same way as New Labour. You don't tackle the point, rather one that you have some answer for. Along the way you drop in some key words, "childish", "Imperial", "truth", etc., with no reference to...

    Good news and bad news.

    So I think I can guess your views on Gibralta. What is the threshold in terms of people then? The population of Kent or Yorkshire? We cede the scilly Isles to the first invaders or the Isle of Wight? Didn't Chamberlain try that negotiating away as well? You could apply the same philosophy to...

    Good news and bad news.

    It was in comparison with the EVIL, THIEVING, LYING WAR MONGERS that are in power now. Peter Mandleson vs. Jeffery Archer not much in that Cook/Blunket vs David Mellor they are all pretty much the same as politicians, but as a leader Mrs Thatcher has more integrity than the entire cabinet...

    Good news and bad news.

    Best PM in my lifetime and much more honest than the current bunch of tossers "running" the country. I guess a lot of men can't yet cope with the idea of a woman being the best leader (or best at anything).

    The nice countryside-loving folk of LDC

    This seems an entirely appropriate reaction to a journalist turning up on your doorstep unanounced - especially ones with cameras. Leaches all of them :lolol:

    Falmer:Not sure sure we are winning the war

    That is an excellent post in my opinion and makes a number of very relevant points. A very large number of successful planning applications do not actualy proceed with building. It can all flounder on the little things like access roads, visibility splays and drainage. Winding up residents and...

    Puzzle for accountants and other excel users

    No, not a bug. Essentially you are testing a floating point number for equality with zero. As this is represented by an exponent and mantissa, it is unlikely that after addition and subtraction the result will be exactly zero due to rounding error (precision) in the representation of the...

    Clearly, the extra votes for East Sussex only make the point that it has a much higher population density and is therefore not as nice as the West. Brighton is actually a bit of a dump nowadays and a magnet for all kinds of wierdies (not the sort of wieries you got in my day). East Sussex is...

    Now looney I usually find your post informative, humorous and well written, but on this occassion you are just plain wrong. Claiming Kipling is a bit rich and if you can do that then we westies can have Douglas Bader, etc. etc. Definition of even duller and more boring Hove Seaford Newhaven...

    I would have said that but then I thought of Littlehampton, Bognor, Lancing and Crawley. However, we are richer in West Sussex and our houses are worth more :lolol:

    The west of West Sussex is by far the finest place in the world. The view from Harting down, the Saxon church at Stoughton, Kingley Vale and the 1000 year old yew trees, West Lavington and Midhurst. Fortunately much of the best is away from main roads.

    Lewes District Council Cabinet Meeting on Thursday

    I suspect that they will claim that the decision was decided on political rather than planning considerations and was not therefore rational (in a planning sense). That may well be a fair point. No point in getting angry about the actions of LDC, £300000 is not very much for a bunch of...

    Nuclear Power

    I'm sure that we will be sending some of it to Iran soon. Pevenseagill you need to chill out a bit. If we follow your line of thinking we will all have to chill out while making the Russians quite rich. Haven't they (some russians) been trying to but British Gas? Without nuclear there is no...
