It is probably time to return to the old values as ... http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/2008/08/07/sciencefacts/ Is China softening on internet access? If the BBC cannot even grant "freedom" (you have your own monitoring and screening process here) in this tiny forum, there is absolutely no reason to criticise the Chinese governemnt of blocking those websites, which apparently break the 'house rules'.

This is really no problem for me - I'll just sell my car and stop going to work. Gavin Glos, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom I wonder how long Gavin hammered the refresh button, hoping desperately that someone would manage ... http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/2008/08/06/probably-an-estate-agent/ What on earth shall we do about China? Shall we smile indulgently at their funny little ways? Or scream our fear of their tiny, industrious hands? Have you visited China? Did you see a documentary about it? Perhaps Michael Palin went there? Do you find ... http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/2008/08/06/industrious-but-you-cant-trust-them/ I strongly encourage everyone to visit Bletchley Park because it's the home of my heroes.

What kind of HYS thread has no instances of "Gordon CLOWN" or "Nu Labour," and no-one complaining about the awful tax burden they're under? Why, one about the economy, of course.

I agree that there is a difference between cold blooded murder, and someone killing a partner out of fear and desperation. However, if these ... http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/2008/08/04/quite-literally-getting-away-with-murder/ This blog post is thanks to Exix, who followed a hyperlink from a Facebook group to this Daily Mail article.
