Just been reading Webbo's post in news re: P.E. Who here enjoyed P.E in school? Anyone NOT enjoy it? All through my schooling I detested P.E. When we had footie, I was always stuck in goal because I...
Might seem an odd category to put it in but bare with me. Money is what makes the modern human society tick over. So when did Homo Sapiens introduce 'money' as a means of survival? Just when did...
Anyone snowed under at the mo? My son just rang me from the walk in medical centre (as per my previous thread) and cant get a taxi back home. Bit of a snow blizzard here in Stoke at the moment. I live...

Looking back, just how useful has schooling been in your life? Apart from the 3 R's did you really learn anything pertinent to your life? I learnt about algebra, chemistry, art, woodwork, metalwork,...
Seriously, just what is the point of existing? We might exist for an average of 70-80 yrs and then what? We die, not even remembered in the next 70-80 years. It all seems so pointless. People that we...
What exactly is 'the mind' I'm probably thinking a bit to much again but never mind (no pun intended...honestly) But seriously, how does science explain mind? I am sitting here on my couch, which...
Given the recent tragic and untimely death of fellow ABer Mikey, do you find (at least for a little while) that you value life more after hearing of a loss? I was horrified when I read DTC's post last...
