I was in line at a bus stop yesterday in Mile End, East London.
The bus come and there was a silent free for all with no eye contact...lol and I didn't get on. First time it happened, I thought oh well, next one. The next one came, same thing happened, and then the next....by the time the fourth came, I was up for the scramble with no guilt.

Last time I used a bus I am sure there was a recognised queuing system. What has happened to the quirky etiquette of British queuing,I was outraged..lol

for one thing it is a option to have it. the fact that people complain about it is totally wrong. its only there to insure you have coverage when your in an accident or sick. you pay for it, thats how it works, stop blaming the companys , they have a business to help people and on the way to make some money..if the gov't wants to make health care free then let it be. otherwise, why do people complain about health insurance companies

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.


This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Stacie that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Stacie kept shouting "Oh my God."

we depend on shops and stores for food clothing and shelter, but only a few of us really know how to grow plants, make clothes and build houses. if things don't change don't you think 100 yrs or so from now humans would be so dependent on technology they might forget how to grow crops or how to build shelter.? as the years pass by slowly people are forgetting about basic knowledge of living. they are becoming more and more concern in the areas of technology.. wanting to make everything easy and automatic. do you think it is possible for human beings in the future to forget the basic means of survival in nature?

Because of an issue, I paid my September rent late. My landlord tells me 2 days ago that he lost the money order I gave him. According to him, he searched and searched his office and cannot find it. I know he has it because I have the carbon copy and he told me he had received it after I left it in his mail slot on the 15th.

At any rate, I want to know who is at fault here. My landlord wants me to go back to the Currency Exchange where I got the money order and get a replacement. I can't do that until 45 days after date of purchase (That's what the carbon copy says) and my landlord wants his money now.

If you ask me, I already paid so it's his fault he lost my money. I don't know what to do and I do not want to pay double rent.

Part of me thinks he is trying to double-dip. He hasn't tried in the past and this is the third time I've paid with a money order and not just cash. 1st time I've had a problem with him losing my money. Any ideas? Thanks in advance (-:

I'm on a diet. I do exercise too (mild one, like walk) three to four days a week.

I eat on average around 800 calories a day. With this diet/exercise plan, I'm losing weight gradually. Having read some of the queries and their answers here, I was just wondering is it that I'm eating too less?

i'm 170 lbs/5'2"/21years.

ps: I never starve myself. If I'm hungry, I ALWAYS (even if it's middle of a night) eat something, may be apple/milk, stuff like that.

I once heard a story, second-hand, that an old guy was drunk driving and got pulled over by a cop.

Before the cop could do anything, the old guy got out of his car, tossed his car keys to the side of the road, then pulled out a whiskey bottle and took a huge long swallow. Then he threw the bottle crashing to the pavement.

The cop cursed him, because apparently he could not prove DUI. After all, the guy was no longer in possession of his car keys, was outside his vehicle, and could have become intoxicated only while drinking from the bottle while outside his vehicle.

Thoughts? (Especially interested in police officer views)

Oh, and again I stress that I "heard about this". May not have happened. Who knows.

I had heard about and now just read a story about how a liberal in the film commision board for San Fran denied access to the USMC's Silent Drill team use of a street to film a recruiting video.

San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the U.S. military. This time, it involves an elite group of Marines who wanted to film a recruitment commercial in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

The tension has been building in the two weeks since the city turned away members of the Silent Drill Platoon, and it boiled over Monday afternoon at a meeting of the San Francisco Film Commission.

The U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon performed Monday morning in New York's Times Square. They filmed part of a recruitment commercial through the start of the morning rush hour -- something they could not do in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

Love is funny isn't it? I would never thought in a million years that I would like someone who is much younger than me. He's sweet, honest, gentle and considerate. We're both single (just so you know ) and work together so I see him more often and since we're colleage, we don't need to put our best foot forward but being ourselves. I think it's weird for me to even think about someone who is younger. I have no expectation but I can feel the physical tention when we're together. We have never done anything that considers inappropriate and I like to keep it that way. Too much to jeopardize our career if we crossed the line. We're enjoy hanging out at lunch together. We both get promoted and share a lot in common. I think it makes me want to go to work everyday. There is no way that we can be together but that's ok with me. Have you ever been in this situation?. Did you act on it? Would you want anything more than just friends?

Ok, so i'm mowing my lawn last week and i hit a big stick. Long story short, my neighbor had to tip the mower upside down to fix a problem with the blade. It was upside down for a few minutes, and when we turn it right-side-up, the oil and gas kinda poured out the top. So we start it back up, and it runs for about a minute, but spewing white smoke the whole time. Then it just stops running.

We checked the oil, and it was low, so we got more oil and added it. We also added more gas because it was low, and replaced the spark-plug since that was probably filled with oil or gas. But now, will plenty of oil and gas and a new spark plug, it still won't start.

It's been like 5 days, and we've tried starting it each day, and the first time you pull the cord it almost starts but doesn't. Then every pull after that it doesn't come close to starting. Then we try again the next day and the same thing happens.

Please help with any (useful) suggestions. Thanx.
