This article was interesting, and suggested that there could be a specific issue with the breeding lines of the XLs in the UK. Worth a read for anyone who's actually interested in reading further than a headline.

You can donate it to a charity or a community group, there are some that refurbs phones for use by people in impoverished communities and countries. I gave an old laptop to a local group helping refugees learn English online.

He and his wife have also changed the little girl's name to an American one. That's a sure indication they intend to disconnect her from her heritage. If they keep her there's a good chance she'd come to hate them as an adult if / when she finds out with they've done. Absolute psychopaths.

ITT: people who know nothing about and have no interest in archaeology and paleontology arguing why this doesn't matter. You guys do know you've wandered into an Archaeology thread, right?

Ha, I sent a very long and furious email to my (Labour) MP when that law got introduced, basically saying excuse me I'm a woman that squirts, what are you as a fellow woman going to do about a law that says that's a deviant and obscene act? And got completely ignored - usually I got a generic response from her on other issues, on that I just got tumbleweed.

(And before I get any thirsty messages, I'm menopausal and that bitch has dried up. Nothing to see, move on.)

Wut?

I mean I can't, you're right, but the government and HMRC can. If the government actually wanted to.

We need more wealth taxes, increased public spending, and wage increases for the public sector and the lowest paid jobs. And we really need to be putting serious effort into introducing some kind of universal income. That's how you share wealth.

I only ever see mine from a distance and never get the chance to say thank you. My mum used to give them a tip at Xmas.

It just demonstrates how little a lot of the world trusts the American government and it's agencies.

YES! I read the book a long time before I saw the film and was so disappointed when I finally got around to watching it. And then I know people who read the book years after seeing the film and didn't like it, because it was so different to what they were expecting. And that's such a shame, because the film just doesn't have the same depth to it.
