With Christopher Lee you can NEVER be sure!

Sorry for not making myself clear. I meant a coincidence between the Latin gula (derived French goulet) and the surname Guillotin. I sort of imagined that the Dr may have had gully or similar manufacture in his family line and was simply expanding the family franchise! OK, not a perfect match, but close enough to wonder. Thanks for eponymous; I was groping for the word, but in the moment it escaped me!

I don't know Willy - haven't researched it, but the BBC would be in pole position to deny it if it were untrue and they don't! There's no doubt that C4 is bought and paid for by the EU though. Prove me wrong someone, but I believe it's the worst kind of subsidy. Not a blanket subsidy but where individual programs are funded - programs that project what Brussels wants to hear, and suppress what they don't want to hear. And - like all EU funding - it's our very own money being turned against British democracy, and toward an entirely undemocratic future European superstate. We have almost an entire generation carefully nurturing the eggs of the EU Cuckoo when only a minority of the population are screaming pitch them out of the nest before it's too late! It's utterly disgraceful that we should even need to pass a law to force the BBC to abandon its EU propaganda campaign, but this seems to be necessary. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/bbc/11664797/BBC-could-be-forced-by-law-to-cover-EU-referendum-impartially.html If Bill Cash et al don't get their amendment through we can look forward to torrents of EU BS from establishment media trying to swing the referendum. That's in addition to all the off-shore tactics that will be used - all paid for by our own EU contributions, as per usual.

We know a website all about those! http://www.guillotine.dk/pages/history.html Interesting that his name was Dr. Guillotin. Simply a coincidence or a derived moniker?

According to Merriam-webster the first known use as a knife was from 1582, and the first known use as a ditch, or water course, etc. is from 1637. Origin: "probably alteration of Middle English golet ravine, throat".

It seems simply to be too many users at times. We'll address this by inserting a intermediary server that can handle more than a dozen or so simultaneous connections, but that's not possible until late Summer. Meanwhile we'd appreciate if members don't hog it by connecting for extended periods of time.

Looking at the problem - sorry!

Money the Greek government has to find this year: You'll note the small lull after May before many more big bills start to become due. My bet is that Putin is lending a hand by secretly printing a new currency for Greece right now! If they went to the regular sources the cat would be out of the bag in no time. Are the Greeks imaginative enough to call this something slightly more political than the Drachma? That would be the sensible thing to do; but there are alternatives here, and there's no doubt Greece wants to cling to the Euro as long as possible, have banks receive every Euro in ECB liquidly assistance they can, then actually be seen to be ejected from the EuroZone - mainly by Germany. So, if there is such a currency printing arrangement, it would be billed purely as a contingency plan, even if the truth were slightly different. It wouldn't be at all surprising if Greece were to unofficially adopt the Rouble as a temporary measure though, having been given a nod and wink on this score by Putin. Those talks weren't entirely about oil pipelines! Interesting times. BRICS New Development Bank Threatens Hegemony Of U.S. Dollar

It always happens: once the election is over they vote themselves a massive pay increase. Very few oppose this on principle - mainly because most of those elected MPs don't have any principles! Please sign the petition to Cameron to veto this: https://www.change.org/p/david-cameron-stop-the-11-pay-rise-for-mps-salaries Note that Ukip has refused the £3.3M "Short money" due to it, but Labour has once again taken its £7M plus in public money, and what's left of the LD's are back at the feeding trough too! That's something intelligent voters would do well to remember next time around. If you elect people who put their own interests before the Country, don't complain when that's exactly what you get!

Which could be the excuse Schauble needs to assume a default. There are several more payments due this month so it makes no sense for the Greeks to pay up this time (even assuming they have any cash left), and then default on a later unaffordable one.

All it would take to clean up world football is for UEFA to pull out of Blatter's web of corruption. But - like the EU itself - it's not prepared to do the obvious and clean up its own act. It's truly ridiculous the the USA has to step in and do what the EU authorities should have done years ago. The FA should pull out regardless, and shame the rest of Europe. Shut up and just do it Dyke, else you are no better than the rest! Set up a fully transparent world football body and let Blatter and his henchman do their worst to prevent other countries joining. The upside is we'd undoubtedly win the very first new world cup!

A pack of lies and half-truths, starting with #1! Notice that there they now say jobs "linked to" and not dependent on (the blatant Nick Clegg lie), and they also say "European Union's single market" and not simply the EU. Norway is already outside the EU but in the European Union's single market. Those jobs would not disappear, in fact there would be more UK jobs as we expanded our global trade. The EU is a contracting market mired in bureaucracy. We'd surely maintain our trading relationships though, because the EU can not afford not to trade with us. We buy far more from Germany than they buy from us, and without the UK economy the EU will sink even faster than it is already doing. Overriding all this are the EU treaties which state that the two year notice period for leaving is to negotiate a trading relationship "on favourable terms". If the worst were to happen, and the EU bit it's own nose off to spite it's face, we'd be faced with a piddling 1.8% tariff barrier against our goods, which we'd recoup several times over by retaliating against German goods - so, that simply ain't going to happen! The EU originated when worldwide trade barriers were far higher, and so this (and the EU) becomes increasingly irrelevant. This is how the bureaucratic EU is performing (dark blue line) against the "Anglo Saxon economics" which those Brussels mandarins so hate. These stats come from the EU and the European Central Bank no less; so if anything would downplay EU under-performance! Happy to tackle the rest of those lies, but just look where they come from. The Brussels Council of the British European Movement, Square de Meeûs 25, 1000, Brussels - EU propaganda bought and paid for by our own money!

John Redwood tells the truth too. Pity that he's simply too honest to be in Dodgy Dave's cabinet! Full article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/11629210/The-in-out-EU-voting-row-is-just-a-distraction.html

It has started to work well again with Firefox. I think this is a result of a fairly recent FF update fixing the bug.

From a senior source in Berlin, Thursday night: This is why things are painfully drawn out. When the finger pointing starts no one wants to be seen as responsible for what everyone now accepts is an inevitability. June then, as all sides are clearly resolved not to blink.

While you were sleeping? I think it's called continental drift!

No need to watch folks, the Guardian has it all sussed. Seems they haven't actually listened to any of the songs whilst compiling their spreadsheets, which rather says it all! And the winner will be: (and please don't retype this "in the clear" you spoiler people - you types have already totally ruined the Internet Movie Database for many! ) Anyway, I've just bought a new sound bar to replace the pathetic little rattly speakers on my FSTV. So my excuse for watching will be that they must be properly tested before the return to shop period ends.

Rory is one of the good guys (even though he hasn't defected, yet!)

The international crony-capitalist corporates are going to try to paint our leaving the EU as a negative act - the referendum question will undoubtedly be framed that way. But, actually, it's a series of very positive acts. So, don't be conned into accepting their proposition that anyone who supports OUT is "a little Englander". Adam Fitchett in Europe wrote these ten positive reasons to leave on May 19th 2015: This is one thing that clear thinkers on both right and left are united on. People as far apart in political thinking as the late Tony Benn and JCB boss Lord Bamford believe it's the rational way forward for our country. Huge amounts of tainted corporate money are going to be spent on scare campaigns to try to convince everyone otherwise. Last time around the Euro-liars outspent the NO campaigners ten to one, and they are going to try the same thing on again. I was young enough and silly enough to vote Yes, and I'm going to try my damnedest to ensure that today's youngsters are not similarly fooled.

No assumptions necessary! I'm at the sharp end, where they sleep in fields, in groups of hundreds under motorway bridges. Where the bodies wash up on the beach, and the numbers visibly increase by the year. The only thing that stops us being overrun is that they have a lemming-like desire to press on to Northern Europe, and the fact that (apart from highly seasonal back-breaking jobs in the countryside that no Europeans will even consider for the money - illegal away), there is absolutely no employment in the Southern reaches of the Fourth Reich! I had a couple of local guys on my drive the other week canvassing for political support. Their interesting proposition was that all Euro politicians should be shot in the head. A bit extreme, but there are times I could be persuaded to pull the trigger myself!

I know exactly what you mean; perhaps best exemplified by the 1968 Spanish winning entry.

It is! Clearly the profundity of thought transcended even the more intelligent reader. So, I apologise for my solo tripette into the realm of human perceptions. Note to self: Do not start topics concerning any example of "modern art". By way of redress I offer this home-spun philosophical alternative, ya all: (With apologies to Mrs Gump Snr.) Lidl is like a shared box of chocolates: by the time you decide what you really want - it's all gone!

No, because they want to tell us how we should live, and how we should think, what we can and can not say, and even impose their own barbaric legal system. Otherwise the only problem we have is with the sheer volumes being imposed on us by people who want to use immigration to make a political point - like... Nature calls this cuckoo in the nest syndrome, and only thick lefties are dumb enough to trash their own culture in the vague hope that if we allow ourselves to be completely overrun the world will magically become "a better place". This is on par with their wish to make rich people poor because that (supposedly) will make us more equal. Rather than aiming to make everyone better off, "equality" becomes a goal in itself and everyone ends up worse off as the wealth creators are disincentivised, or simply give up in the face of cultural stupidity! I have massive sympathy for economic migrants (and i get to see a lot more of them than you do). They are only trying to do what we all do, and that's build a better life for ourselves and our children. But, many of them have the sense to see what the Guardian-reading dolts can't see, and that's that too many and they kill the very thing they seek. On a less serious note Padders clearly passes the Kipper's immigration test with flying colours - he's a massive earner for the UK!

As we are back to politics here I have A Song for Europe. Actually not Europe but the EU; strange how our politicos use the names almost interchangeably when they are utterly different concepts. I see the respected Digby Jones is now telling the truth now that he's no longer gagged as CBI boss.

All great stuff, but I was searching for something more profound. Anyway, after several days deep thought I now have the answer to the meaning Lidl, the Universe and everything. The answer is:.
