I don't know about pornstars but I've discussed this with a few Playmates and it seems that running a website is quite a costly business. One PM with a big website tells me that it just pays for itself, and another listed her expenses from hosting fees,photographers, hire of locations , security...

In this country (UK) marraige is defined as the voluntary union of a man with a woman.A 1 year old is neither a woman nor capable of making a decision so it fails on all counts. Off topic but that's why same sex unions can't be called marriage.

Indeed, Fords generally outclass Audi ,BMW and definitely VW (which have an undeserved reputation) but try telling that to the general public.Both my sons have BMWs (I suspect largely because of image) and I have a Ford.Having driven all three I wouldn't spend my money on a German car.Would you...

I'm sure it is-but why do people have to make ugly complicated words when a simpler version exists? We had guys who made comments on the radio and were called commenters.For some reason they later became commentators. Once, if you want someone to do something you press them.This became that you...

What is burglarizing? Is it the same as simply burgling or am I missing something?

There is a fuel depot not far from here and it's interesting to watch tankers from any number of companies filling up from the same outlets! I buy Shell fuel when possible because it contains all the additives and is the same price as supermarket fuel which doesn't.

I think that tattoos are an abomination.What do these people think they are achieving? They are deliberate disfigurements.

London is a world city, NY is an American one.It's the biggest international finance centre partly as a result of Empire but also because Britain as a small island has always looked outwards.

Agree about Alley-I wonder why she never became a Playmate? As for centerfolds I repeat my nomination of Jenny Lavoie-her PB portfolio didn't really do her justice though.

You can acquire a new nationality but this does not lose your original one.He was born British as was George Washington.

It's like asking what's the best food-but how do you compare lobster with steak? It has to be someone who dominated the sport for a long time like WG Grace and DG Bradman did in cricket in different eras. Or someone like John Surtees who was World Champion in motorcycle racing and then switched...

Adams was a Brit. At that time American was an address not a nationality.

In 1946 Winston Churchill was no longer Prime Minister.Is the date wrong?

I was referring to the free oxygen in the atmosphere, not the locked up oxygen in rocks. Plants through photosynthesis convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars, this releases oxygen gas into the air.The sugars are then converted into starches and cellulose.When the plant dies (or burns) the...

No they are not.http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/ast99/ast99176.htm And fossil fuels don't come from decaying carbon atoms.They come from decaying plant materials which contain the carbon (and some other) atoms which constitute fossil fuels. On the other hand methane is abundant in...

I don't know the relative amounts of oil versus coal but both were made via plants which converted carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into organic compounds, releasing free oxygen in its place.That's where the oxygen we breathe came from.It follows that there is enough fossil fuel on the planet...

It's crap.Arthur Guinness must be spinning in his grave if he can see what's happened to his beers.To see his stout ***** extra cold (no decent **** should be) , reduced in strength and flavour , dispensed with **** gas-whatever happened to the brewery which was once renowned for quality and the...

"the government that governs least, governs best" is just a slogan.It is almost certainly not true but I know that much American thinking is based on it. If you base any system on a false assumption then the system is flawed too.Government in the past was minimal and there was little protection...

This is gloomy and inaccurate! We call the time after Roman collapse the Dark Ages but that was because very little information was available. Archaeology though paints a very different, more upbeat picture. The British Empire faded for a variety of reasons but was in fact at its biggest...

Jaguars have always been good looking cars.Being part of European Ford they have been able to receive adequate development funds which was a problem in the past.But for styling they left the competition for cold.

All empires disintegrate when a sufficient number of the inhabitants of constituent parts wish to go their own way.This often coincided with lack of political will to maintain them. In a sense I don't see the US as an empire though it has some characteristics, it's basically a single sovereign...

Look for anything served by gravity or by handpump.

The UK moved into the post industrial age some years ago and prospered ever since.Trying to cling onto manufacturing when places like China can match you at a tenth of the price is futile.The money isn't in making things (it was found that when Britain was the biggest manufacturing nation more...

In the UK the authorities spend £33 million a year repairing potholes and £60 million a year to motorists who hit potholes. Go figure.

Is the Swiss government afraid of its populace then?

My figures were for the overall ****** rate in the US, not the gunshot deaths.Firearms death rate is about three times this.You can be shot by accident and still be just as dead.If I remember correctly during the Vietnam War there were many more US citizens shot in the US than soldiers shot by...

Re: All I know is ... Individual cases don't help the argument really;for example there are people who didn't use their car seat belts and survived because of it-but nobody would argue that you're safer not wearing them.

Because marriage is DEFINED as a voluntary union between man and woman it should be possible to find a different description.

A republic is simply a State not headed by a monarch.It bears no connection with being a democracy or not.The UK is a Constitutional monarchy and is a democracy, the peoples' Republic of China is not.

There was an interesting article in the Times which said that there would have to be two referenda ; the first to test public opinion and the second (providing the vote was for independence) would be the important one as it would spell out exactly what was on offer. This would have to take into...

VLC is certainly safe, it's an excellent player. Try also MediaPlayer Classic and SM player.All are free and you will find that you won't miss Windows media Player at all.

True enough, his career statistics are so far ahead of all other cricketers that he stands out like a beacon. Though I also have great respect for Sir Garfield Sobers who could bat and bowl a bit as well :-) Of current sportsmen how about Sir Steven Redgrave with gold medals in five consecutive...

I was speaking strictly in the legal sense.

If you were born in England that makes you English. You have Scots ancestry but that's it. Scotland originally took over England in a very loose Union and later petitioned for full union the next century.She kept her legal and educational systems , it was truly a Union rather than absorption.

The Union has worked exceptionally well and both countries have benefitted enormously.There has been so much movement of people between the two countries that it's really pointless to unravel things-there are probably as many Scots living in England as in Scotland , and a lot of English living...

I would eat it.The UK is now regarded as being one of the top food countries and London is said to be unmatched for eating out.

Certainly in the UK it's legal and I'm pretty sure it is in the US. What is ******* is soliciting , particularly on the streets.But charging for sex is within the law.

Good ****-which means not bottled/kegged or canned, just fresh from the cask. Good ****. I like Old World wines best. Properly made fresh roast/ground coffee.Instant coffee is gross.

With modern fuel ********* systems it's been found more economical to accelerate quickly rather than gently but it's really braking which wastes fuel as you mention.Braking dissipates the kinetic energy of the vehicle as heat;you paid for this heat by burning fuel. If you need to slow down try...

There are plenty of free video players that will handle Real Player files.As has already mentioned , Real Player is a pain to live with and you're better off removing it altogether.The same applies to Quicktime although QT isn't quite as intrusive.

Britain is self sufficient in oil but exports some and imports some because the oil isn't suitable for all uses. If only the taxes went on better roads or mass transit (though why motorists should subsidise bus and train passengers I'm not sure)-they are simply an easy to collect form of...

The legal ******** age in the UK is 16 (although the conditions are quite restrictive) and 18 year olds can buy and ***** without restriction.Fine, they are adults by then. It's just a pity that some **** see ******* as a way of getting ****** and spoil it for the others. I agree that 16 is WAY...

Agreed, but why should motorists bear an unfair tax burden to finance what's used by the whole public? If I go everywhere by bike I still get free healthcare. UK university education is no longer free , the government in its wisdom has decided that half our young people should go to one...

British governments have long used taxation of certain commodities as an easy to collect source of revenue.Whenever a tanker load of fuel leaves the depot a cheque is sent to Her Majesty's Treasury.Same when **** leaves the brewery. Diesel oil is the same product as heating oil. In the winter...

My weapon of choice is usually **** though. Don't confuse Carling with ****.**** actually tastes of something.

Everybody is different but the law has to decide on a one size fits all age for adulthood and this is generally 18.It makes no sense to let people drive at 17 but not ***** till 21 , it's back to front.It's probably easiest to accept driving, ********, voting , military service and all the rest...

If it will take you 2 years it would pay you to take out a loan instead.Credit card interest is absurdly high and only makes sense for example over Christmas to spread the load a bit.

Boris is highly educated and highly intelligent.He will assemble a good team -he's not going to make it a one man show. He has an awesome list of contacts and friends , he is well liked and this should make a lot of difference.

No. Ecology gives them a good excuse for raising revenue. The high price won't curtail consumption .People don't buy it for fun.

Strange that in 1946 there were only 64 recorded ******* in the whole of the UK and for years we had very low crime rates.Things have changed a bit but even so the current UK ****** rate is 1.4 per 100 000 compared with the US where it is 5.5 per 100 000.
