The 1st one would be Roy Harper. He sang the vocals on "Have a cigar" for Floyd and had loads of great musicians on his albums. Jimmy page, Kate bush, Ian Anderson even Paul and Linda McCartney. Perhaps because he has never "sold out" his recognition has been limited.

@jimdaughters Yes he and Linda did backing vocals on "one of those days in England". Not sure if it was the short or long version though but Ronnie Lane was on bass

@Trajan61 You dont live here and I dont live there. I cannot say that I wold not own a gun if I was in your hood.. What I can say is that you would not need one in mine. I live close to the city center. It is quite high crime (for England) yet I do not even lock my flat door when Im home. You seem to think that you need a gun to protect yourself and property. I have been in several situations where had a gun been around I or someone else would have killed someone. I will not go into details but this was not a home invasion. Trust me that if I had a gun at the time I would be in jail right now and I know many others that would be too. Maybe thats why the USA has the biggest prison population in the 1st world?
What I cannot understand is the reasons against gun control. From what I hear its only trying to stop impulse buys, those with criminal records and/or unstable psychiatric history and the sale of assault weapons. To me that seems quite a reasonable stance. All of the no control arguments from the NRA could also be used to justify North Korea having nukes

@TomMcGiverin If you are talking strickly left and right then yes. However if you look at practical politics and policies then Obama care is privatized health care only part funded by the state. Which is very close to to Torys.
The US is by nature a conservative country. Your revolution was 242 years ago and was instigated by rich landowners not wanting to pay taxes. The UK has had a series of revolutions of differing scales. That has over its history overturned the power of the monarchy, the church and the landed aristocracy. Beneath the facade of royal weddings etc.bubbles a radical left wing whos reason dete is "eat the rich".
Take gun control for example. If it was the UK? The aftermath of Columbine would have led a campaign to repeal the 2nd amendment. This stance may not have worked completely but if enough support was generated then subsequent reforms would have been the compromise position. The US left try for small reforms and struggle.
As I type this I am watching a report on fracking. This has been a hot topic in local and national politics for the past few years. Unlike the US all the profits after the drilling company has taken its cut will go to the state, not to the local land owners. Subsequently there is little incentive for locals to want this. A very strong ground route opposition ranging from local authorities voting it down to sjws barricading drilling sites has slowed it down and made it very difficult to go ahead. Fracking will probably go on anyway but it will have to make damn sure it crosses all "T"s and dots all "I"s.

@PinkyandtheBrain I really think that he is lying. You dont get nothing for nothing. If you want a trip you have to pay for it. No one is going to add acid or mushrooms to pot just so some stranger is going to have an unwanted trip. Where is the motive? This is a business and relies on repeat customers. The only time I have known something like this was in the 80s. It was suspected that the local hash was laced with small amounts of heroin because it had been cut so often and was too weak. H was a lot cheaper then.

Is one theological and the other racial? Then how about judaism or jews? The problem in a democracy is when the majority find views abhorrent it is difficult to defend the right to express them.
How far did the burning of that poppy go towards shouting fire in a crowded theater? I am sure that the prosecution argued that given the civil unrest in NI recent past and the sectarian violence that still lurks beneath the surface. Any public display of this sort could result in bloodshed but was that their intent? If the intention is to goad others to commit unlawful acts then there is a clear case but then we are in the realm of thought crime.
It is a crime in the UK to abuse someone using the N word. The word itself is not banned but the abuse is. Therein lies the dividing line. You have freedom of speech unless you are curtailing others rights.

Working in a very stressful job. Her natural exuberant personality bubbles over and lightens any room that she is in. Such a character can make a real difference in a workplace that deals with the most distressing situations. Sick and often dying children can be the norm. Failing that just the act of taking blood samples off a screaming handicapped kid would send most to seek other employment. A little latitude I think is forgivable here. Not everything can be bound by hard and fast rules

@OwlInASack It is always going to be a balancing act. Nowadays we have the far right spouting racial abuse, fundamental muslims doing much the same but with far more terrible consequences. Of course any reasonable society would want to curb such excesses but how far do we take this? When does this start to be censoring legitimate protest and opposition? and who decides what that is?
Take the case I mentioned in an earlier comment. Two teenagers from Belfast burnt a poppy on FB. Now I do not condone this act but I believe they had a right to do so. You may not agree but you did not grow up with soldiers patrolling your streets. They got 3 months in jail. Similar sentences have been handed out to radical muslims who have done the same. Is it too big a stretch to sanction footballers who kneel? Would 45 love the powers that Putin has?
It is up to us, yes us to be vigilant and protect our society not only from the abuses of freedom but also the abuses of power and we have to go that extra mile for things that we disagree with. Because so many of the good things we take for granted have been won by people ready to say things that got them behind bars..

@A2Jennifer Seriously this has been thrown into perspective by a discussion between my daughter (Em) and her mom (R). R. although I loved her and still have great affection for is shall we say no oil painting. Whist Em (and goodness knows where she got it from because it was not us two) is good looking and quite a big girl if you get my drift. R. I dont think has ever been wolf whistled and kind of likes the thought of it. Whilst Em finds it an affront and a real pain.
Perhaps when the years go by and looks fade you might look back wistfully at these times but I dont know because a, I have never cat called and b, Im not a woman.

Properly managed hunting could be the only answer. I know its abhorrent and disgusting but unless you make these animals a more valuable resource than what their bodies bring. Then the extinction will continue unabated. A local poacher will get about $100 for a weeks work. That dentist payed $14,000 to shoot that lion.

I have posted some of his stuff before. You can find much more on his website smash-flops. The songs are very different. Firstly because they start with Clives words not the tune. Secondly because Clives words are unusual. They also managed to kill off any musical career with a satirical album "Live Libel" where they ridiculed (what were then) contemporary artists such as James Paler, Leonard Conman and Black Funk Rex. (the sleave notes are hilarious) Julie Covington did an album of their songs and they have a small but enthusiastic elitist cult following. Which includes myself and Stephen Fry.

Tell me who is served by this "hot topic"? How does this improve society? Will it prevent one single case of date rape? From what I glean from the song its about a guy trying to persuade himself into a womans knickers (at worst). The optimum word there is "persuade" not force.
If my post is a way to bring real problems such as homelessness to light then yes and I make no apology for the manor of doing so. Far better to concentrate our efforts on those without bothering about sjws being offended on our behalf about bs

@kjsgenie If its been a long time for you then it may have been a long time for him too. A chap can get nevious, which does nothing for ones libido. Its a cliche to say that its different for girls but from our perspective comatose is acceptable (not great but acceptable) anything else is a bonus. Whereas we have to perform.
If you give him another chance try and relax him. Perhaps on his home turf where he picks the music etc. Not a permanent way to go in the relationship just a chance for him to shine.

@OwlInASack The American comedian Rich Hall put it best in "Americans are happy because they own guns. The American govt. keeps them happy because they own guns"

Seemingly too many to count :-) Pulling into college and hit *black ice,* heading for a curb, I at least straightened the front wheels out on my VW Bug. **Banged** right up it. Rear engine weight allowed me to get off the grass ..but every time I ‘made a left,’ my horn went off!

On the central reservations of motorways (freeways to you). You may find a large amount of scurvy grass. This used to be quite a rare plant that only lived by the sea. It is rich in vitamin C and sailors used to collect it for long voyages hence its name. It has a very high tolerance to salt and thrives on the verges. Propagating its seeds up to 100 yards away every time a car speeds past.

Weren't the greeks or romans very open about being homosexual?
273kelvin replies on Dec 4, 2018:
I was forced to watch that awful film 300. In it the Spartan leader made some homophobic remark about Athenians. In point of fact all the Spartans were gay, it was compusarary. Your right hand held your sword, the left your shield which was used to protect not you but the guy on your left. It was thought that you were more likely to give your life for a lover than just a comrade. Unfortunately the long term results of this was the end of the Spartans. As it grew more and more difficult to persuade them to make love to their wives and their numbers dwindled.

"Theists open themselves up to "gods love" without question."
Except that isn't love, its a self-imposed endorphin-fueled delusion.

273kelvin replies on Dec 3, 2018:
@MLinoge They say that love is blind. We even use the same terms such as "faithful". No one can ever know someone else completely and yet we can love them completely. Is that not a form of blind faith?

Declaring love to a falsehood with no basis in reality is not somthing I see as supporting a heightened abilty to love.

273kelvin replies on Dec 3, 2018:
@MLinoge It is not imaginary to the theist, they believe it to be real. Plus they are reinforced by the communal gatherings and history of the church. You can call that mass hysteria if you like but it makes no difference emotionally. Someone with a mental illness who hears voices in their head may even intellectually know they aren't real but they feel real. The hurtful things those voices say still hurt.
Also is that not the point of the post? To give yourself completely on blind faith is an extreme form of love. I am not talking "emotional attachments" but full on, balls deep, head over heels, "I would drink your bathwater, sniff your farts and worship the ground you walk on" love. No rhyme or reason, illogical and unconditional love.
It is interesting to note that from the poll so far. Most have voted no difference, some have said less likely but no one has said more likely. The fact that we see clearer does not seem to make us more susceptible to rose glasses.
