I know I'm not American but I would really like to see the new/continueing President do something about it rather than sort out the goings on of other countries like Iraq.

I've asked this before, but I forget the answer, is there a reason why plant oils (vegetable oil, sunflower oil etc) can't be used in place of mineral oil? Absolutely they can be. I'm sure you've read plenty of stories about bored Welshmen who convert their cars to run on (insert name of strange su...

As I've always said about peak oil, the hardest part for people won't be finding fuel for their vehicles, but doing without plastic. Right now, you're using a plastic mouse, connected by a plastic-shielded cable (or using a plastic-housed wireless connector) to a greatly-plastic computer. You're sta...

Mr TomS Sorry - I should have said not in caps. Would you mind? And you can sign someone else's name. Just sign as if you are John Smith or whatever but in the manner of your own signature. Oh poopers. Here's another try. And it's really hard to sign someone else's name, so I just signed mine. If a...

to be honest, i'm not sure why they are not banned altogether. i mean, its not as though fireworks serve any real function, and since the abundant voting middle classes will usually attend a pre-organised event, this law is a real winner. As someone who lives in an area where they are banned outrig...
