    Flashlight used in a crime. (2nd amendment related)

    Follow this FBI link for 2005 and you'll see the largest single reason for homicide is "argument". Also don't be a wife or a girlfriend. I guess the men are quicker on the draw. Cheers

    GE sign on the eneloop products in the us

    I thought from the thread title it would be tiny letters stamped on the bottom of the cell. Not GE writ large all over the documentation. Google turns up quite a few links between the two. I'd guess Sanyo are using GE as a trojan horse to get US citizens used to the name. Eventually the...

    Any 'Top Gear' fans here?

    The "crash" episode aired this week. Richard Hammond's crash at over 280Mph in a jet powered car whilst attempting to break the UK land speed record. I'm amazed he only suffered brain damage. Not sure what I think about it all. Cheers

    How do you feel about english written by foreigners?

    No problem. English is a combination of languages anyway. The most important thing is for the meaning to be communicated. Even talking to other native expert English speakers (e.g. my wife) the meaning gets lost all too often. Anybody who says there is a standard English is lying. Anybody...
