    Why is Socialism such a dirty word in the United States?

    It is considered un-American to be given money. You have to fight your way to the top, American dream style. Oh, unless the money you are given is inherited from slave-owning ancestors.

    "Black Tie " do advice...

    "Black tie" definately means "dinner suit". Whether you'll get away with a decent, normal suit depends a lot on how hard people will look and whether you give a toss what they think. To be asking the question at all I guess you care enough to wear the "right thing". Marks and sparks do decent...

    The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

    To be fair, that just about ruins it from the book's point of view - none of that is clear until a fair way in to it. I wish they had kept the original cover which didn't make the camp thing obvious at all - it was all gradually revealed to you through the eyes of the young boy who didn't know...

    the fooking cops

    They never stop anyone at 1 mile over the limit because your speedo only has to be within 10%. So they will only stop at Speed Limit + 10% + a margin (usually 1-3 mph). And there is a simple way to avoid the points and fines - observe the speed limit. It's not difficult.

    R.I.P.

    RIP Scarblu. I bet he's behind this, you know. Probably offered to make God/Allah a shell lamp if he'd sort out the club for us. As for our next signing... Is it Judith Chalmers?

    university

    I'm starting again. I've been through the mill once completing Computer Science in '93. I'd got a place to do Politics but I was convinced by someone to swap to a course that would come with a career attached. Big mistake. Anyone out there thinking of studying, pick something you are...

    Buried or cremated?

    Cremated and then the ashes buried under a tree.

    Any Solicitor types... Bank mistakenly deposited money...

    URG had it spot on. If the money deposited was what the person could reasonably have expected to come into their account and if they spent it then they are considered to have "come to depend" on the money and they would be allowed to keep it - the bank would have to compensate the intended...

    Returning goods and getting payment back

    The distance selling regulations kick in here. You have the right to send it back but they have the right to take their time over paying you back. You can only cancel for it "being late" if you have stated that "time was of the essence" when you ordered the item and most places' terms and...
