Oh, and one final point... why has this come forward now? It's because the balance of power has shifted in the Supreme Court with the appointment of... Brett Kavanaugh.

And on another point. Let's take the case of rape, or incest. Now, a woman (or girl) can be raped and if she falls pregnant as a result, HAS NO OPTION but to carry the pregnancy, or risk a felony. It's medieval. It's inhumane. We can hypothesise till the cows come home on the moral arguments...

The composition of the Alabama State Senate is 27 Republican to 8 Democrats. The bill was passed by 25 white, male Republicans. Those are the facts. Whatever the politics, all that this ruling will do is end safe abortions. Abortions will still happen. But more women will die from botched...

The Senate in Alabama has moved that ALL abortions are to be illegal - including those where the pregnancy is as a result of rape or incest. Supporters say they expect the law to be blocked in court but hope that the appeals process will bring it before the Supreme Court. They want the court...

I have the Excel Bible. Still. I used to use it a lot, but my job (and Excel) has changed over the years and now it's not used at all. It's survived 6 house moves, but I will be recycling it. When I moved house in December, I downsized and simplified. Getting rid of a lot of 'stuff' was very...

And women NEVER know how a guy is going to react either. It works both ways.

It's a well known fact that people without a reflexive yawn are psychopaths. Try it with Sootie :)

There's a very simple rule which has stood people in good stead for a long, long time. If you are not sure whether your advances will be reciprocated, then don't advance.

Britain and USA. Two nations separated by a common language.

I agree with you on the short term vs long term costs. Perhaps that was too much detail to go into in an interview. I like articles in the Torygraph - sorry, Telegraph. Good journalism is a delight, whatever the political slant. I also think it's impossible to segregate politics from life. "The...

Just seen this question and answer from the following linked article: "So what does neuroscience tell us about how you might go about changing someone’s mind or winning an argument? It’s very difficult. Once you have built up a perception of the world, you will ignore any information to the...

Possibility and likelihood are two different things.

Re whether I knew about Alison Hargreaves years before she became famous - yes, I did. She became most famous for climbing Everest etc. but I knew of her achievements prior to that (which were largely unreported at the time because a) she was a woman and b) mountaineering is not general...

Alison Hargreaves died in 1995. Yet, I was aware of her achievements through little things like newspapers. Information exchange existed prior to the interwebz y'know.

Is it opinion or fact that he was a relative unknown? It's entirely possible that someone in Hillary's family was either involved with, or followed mountaineering. Case in point, I am not a mountaineer, but in the past I've been interested - specifically in relation to Alison Hargreaves who was...

You wouldn't be building a tolerance, you'd be feeding an addiction.

Sir Edmund Hillary was climbing since 1939. Just because he is most famous for conquering Everest in 1953 doesn't mean he was unknown before that time.

Whatever happens politically, he has a constitutional right under the 5th Amendment not to incriminate himself. So if he is at risk of being in contempt because he won't issue an unredacted report, he can simply use his 5th Amendment rights as not doing so would automatically put him in contempt...

Nooooo. European elections don't use a FPTP system. It's like adding shoe sizes together. Nonsense.

You are beyond funny.
