Nearly all of it to be honest...
I'm not one of these Ford or Chevy only types. I currently Drive a 94 Mustang GT, Not a classic I know but was cheap and the Old Chyrsler New Yorker had just gone bang. The styling is the main thing for me, some of the older cars are like pieces of art. Muscle cars are great for their Simplicity yet awe inspiring performance. I like to be able to work on my own cars and American ones are nice and easy to do that on. So basically a whole mash up of these reasons. I'd Love a 67 Barracuda Fastback if money was no object or an AMC Gremlin. It's just finding them thats the difficult part.

I take your point. In reality, though, it's not. Someone might swear on a Bible whilst being sworn in as a parking attendant, but it doesn't mean they derive their authority from God and the local council is thereby a theocracy.
The Queen is a special case because of all the 'Defender of the Faith' guff and being head of her own Church, of course, but still, I can't imagine her claiming her authority to rule 'derives directly from God'. Can't imagine anyone has tried that line with any seriousness since the Stuarts.
I did once know a man who claimed to believe in the Divine Right of Kings, but he was a nutcase. Think he later joined UKIP...
(, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:42, Reply)
true, it's somewhat archaic,
although it was derived from a line in the Bible so a lot of Christians still believe it.
Oh we also have the Lords Spiritual (Church of England Bishops in the House of Lords) which makes us the only country other than Iran to explicitly include religious leaders in the legislative assembly. Or so I heard.
The "In God We Trust" thing in the states is an odd one though, because their State is very much more secular than ours, technically. They aren't even allowed religious observances in state run schools (a policy which is sometimes enforced with an absurd level of fervour). But the Federal Reserve isn't actually part of the government, but a sort of private company. Actually the way the whole outfit works is so odd that, frankly, God help them.

The US is very interesting as a contrast
In the UK there's an enormous detritus of tradition and convention which is sometimes pretty benign (things like the Monarch being anointed before Coronation) and sometimes quite worrying (like the Bishops in the upper chamber). Most people don't worry about it most of the time.
In America, on the other hand, they had Founding Fathers who set up a secular state, and were pretty unequivocal about that (Treaty of Tripoli, for example), but a population many of whom are passionately fighting to make it less so.

Bishops in the House of Lords don't worry me,
there are only 25 of them, far fewer than Tory hereditary peers (49), and if they were in proportion to the number of regular churchgoers we'd have about a hundred.

I did lots of unpaid "work experience"
From about the age of 14 upwards. How did I afford it? I lived with my folks (as you would expect at that age) and I had a weekend paper round which paid for my travel (which was £1.20 a day to get to anywhere in London).
This enabled me to have a much better CV than my peers which I began looking for work, so I got a better salary.
An internship or work experience is NOT the same as slavery. Slaves have no choice or say in the matter and there is a massive massive distinction.
Saying the two are the same IS simply wrong.

I think there was that once when I woke up with a canvas sack over my head but it's all a bit fuzzy
and I've convinced myself that it was just some terrible nightmare.

Myeh. Lower it to two 4.5 hour shifts a week, scrap JSA completely and give them the equivalent minimum wage.

I wouldn't actually have minded doing that,
it would have given me experience, at least. But they didn't even want me to look for part time jobs. To claim JSA "you have to be looking for full time work," even though that would have got me off benefits and there was no way I was going to get a full time job with no experience.
Stupid system is stupid.

Depends what you count as full time/part time.
Part time is (as far as I'm aware) anything 15 hours or under.

I thought it was 30 hours,
but even 15 hours at minimum wage is more than JSA.
For the purposes of tax credits, it was 15 hours if you had kids, and 30 hours otherwise.

For the college I work at full time study is counted as 15+ hours a week.
The council say 17.5+ hours for council tax exemption for full time students, and someone else I can't quite remember insists on 21+ hours.
I also got a bit of a telling off for refering to the part-time admin as part-time depsite the fact she works almost half the hours I do, because she works 15+.

full time study might not be the same as full time work,
also this was about the hours I was supposed to be looking for, not the hours I was already doing. Or they might have just been talking shit, or the rules might have changed since then, it was almost 10 years ago.

I don't remember reading it in the rules,
but one time I printed off a couple of part-time job placements from the machine, and when I took them to my advisor he advised me that "you do realise we expect you to look for full time work," which surprised me then as much as it surprises you now.

You can do part-time work (under 16 hours a week, paid or voluntary) whilst on JSA,
as long as you declare any earnings when you sign on, so it can be deducted from your JSA. However, you still have to be seeking full-time work to continue to be eligible for JSA.
This is specific to JSA -- there are other benefits available to people working over 16 hours a week, or who are unable to work full-time.

Late reply, but you're wrong
www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgments/reilly-wilson-v-secretary-state.pdf
Paragraph 35 (shortest thing in the whole document) says: "The judge found no breach of article 4". (EU thing on slavery and forced labour)
The ruling is that the regulations exceeded the bounds allowed under relevant legislation to some extent, but that notification and disclosure was definitely insufficient.

Short Film set in the near future - '90 Seconds'

I made this!
I worked on this last year (I did the opening titles and a few other vfx bits). It's half an hour long but if you have time it came out rather well. Cheers.

Your contributions are fairly seamless, so well done -
but the acting is awful, the storyboarding is lame, the sound is dire...
No-one seems to move - walking while talking is something even George Lucas can manage: trying sneaking and talking, or running and talking. The shots are poorly composed - there's an unnecessary thermos flask butting into shot in the first scene. The sound is dreadfully balanced, as though it was recorded straight in the room where the scene plays, and not a single second of post production was done on it - you should at least make sure the levels are similar, or appropriate: the sneaking character is talking louder than the geeky lady who's remotely instructing him.
There may be a good story to be told here, but I couldn't be bothered to watch it long enough to find out.
On the plus side, I did watch enough to try to put together few examples of how to improve it. You're welcome.

Alice In Wonderland, An X-Rated Musical Adventure
NSFW
Someone told me about this and I didn't believe them. A 1970s hardcore porn musical. It's one of the trippiest things I've ever seen. Here's a YouTube friendly snippet, the full movie's available online for free if you so wish. Just don't watch while on acid.

The film initially received an X-rating in 1976 and subsequently, an R-rating a year later with three minutes cut from the film. It was later re-released on VHS with a somewhat grandiose title roll preceding the movie noting that quite a bit of hardcore footage had originally been shot, but "could not be included" at the time.

I wonder if there'll be any riots? Suppose it depends on how much press coverage it gets, if it was a massacre in a school etc. It would be rolling news footage, maybe not so with this.

You know that shit that BC was spouting about the need for the good guys to be armed? Well, police hunting for that bloke in California - you know, the policeman who appears to have gone a bit weird - have reportedly shot up two pickups on the grounds that... er... well... Who knows?
One, driven by two women delivering newspapers, was shot 46 times. Amazingly, neither was killed.
So, yeah. Thank goodness for the good guys with guns.
