I've got a 4GB one which is very nearly full. Although I do store nearly all my files on it. When I'm in the US in April I'm going to get a 32GB one! :021:

While we're at it, let's start buring witches at the stake again... :rolleyes02:

As law abiding citizens I think we have a lot to fear of a DNA database. For example: 1. The UK government seems to be good at 'misleading' personal information these days (lap-tops, dics etc). 2. A DNA profile is an awful lot more than a fancy fingerprint - it could be used for many other (potentially dubious) purposes. 3. As genetic technology advances in leaps and bounds, acquiring someone's DNA profile could be, in the future, the ultimate identity theft. 4. There is the belief that DNA evidence is unequivocal proof of a crime. This is dangerous. As the techniques get more advanced, less and less genetic material is required to get a DNA profile. Such tiny quantities that it starts to become possible that tiny fragments of your DNA could be detected on people you've never even met. Scary. 5. Sharing your information with other countries/ organisations that may have dubious and prejudiced motives. 6. Most importantly (in my opinion), infringement of your human rights and loss of control/ independence. My body is mine, I decide if I want to donate my organs after death. To not be the owner of the basic code that makes me me is beyond comprehension in my book. This aggression will not stand!

What are people's thoughts on potential plans for this? Personally, the very idea makes me sick! Our freedom is steadily being eroded and it has to stop. It is a frightening idea. George Orwell would be turning in his grave. And this would not prevent crime in the slightest - murder, rape etc are not carried out by people making informed decisions and weighing up the pros and cons! If this becomes law I will either, (1) pray Scotland becomes independent and leaves the Union very soon, (2) leave the UK for good. Scary stuff...

The River Ness is the third biggest river in the UK (in terms of the rate of water flow).

They were later additions to the cast. Trisha Yates, Tucker Jenkins, 'Gripper' Stebson were names I remember...

That sounds like my school years (which wasn't yesterday!)

I need to get from 115kg to 105kg by April 19th.

Is that as a result of going to the gym or auto-correlation? The start of a gym regime for many people is carte blanche to eat as much as you can and lardy-ness typically ensues...

I'm on a diet too - can I get a piece of the action?! :001:

I'd rather go and see the view without 20,000 neds buzzing around :001:

So are the Almighty apparently... So are Bad Manners and many others....but like The Almighty....they arent exactly a chart act these days That was my point - neither are the Stereophonics. They're certainly not nearly as popular as they were i.e., they've had their day.

So are the Almighty apparently...

Are these not on the verge of 'has-been' status also? Eh...........Naw! Come on, Stereophonics and David Gray? They had their day about 10 years ago...

Was Titch already booked at Barbazza that week-end?

Are these not on the verge of 'has-been' status also?

Dare I say it but what a lot of p!sh! :001:

MacKay's in Dingwall is worth going to for MOT. PM me for info about servicing - I can get it done for you without the need of going to a ?35/hr garage (depending on what car it is).

What make of car?

St Mirren 2-0 up now... :001:

I very nearly got stuck in the snow driving between Alford and Inverness last night. Thought I'd try the short-cut over The Cabrach (I've since found that it's THE most frequently closed road by snow in Scotland - DOH!) but the road conditions rapidly deteriorated, ending up in 1-2m deep drifts. Luckily I got turned (never been as thankful for 4wd!) and just managed to get back through before the drifts closed up around me. I also had zero phone signal where I nearly got stuck! I did have 2 cases of Stella in the back of my car though so it wouldn't have been an entirely bad experience. Just lots of yellow snow around the car when the snow plough got to me!

Pretty sure that I'm going to go. With an American. The last sports event we saw together was a Mariners game in Seattle. She may find this experience quite different!

Where's everyone going to be taking in the New Year? Myself, Dornoch. I've never been before but I've heard only good reports of 'the Hog' there. Taking an American with me; she's heard so much about the way us Scots take in the New Year that I hope it meets her expectations!

I'm quietly confident. It's just a matter of time though; the only SPL team we've not beaten. Aberdeen have not been very good since their victory over Copenhagen. 0-2 I'll say.
