And so are you!
This is really cool, but somehow slightly disappointing and anti-climatic.

Each of us has at least 100 new mutations in our DNA, according to research published in the journal Current Biology.
Scientists have been trying to get an accurate estimate of the mutation rate for over 70 years.
However, only now has it been possible to get a reliable estimate, thanks to "next generation" technology for genetic sequencing.
The findings may lead to new treatments and insights into our evolution.
In 1935, one of the founders of modern genetics, JBS Haldane, studied a group of men with the blood disease haemophilia. He speculated that there would be about 150 new mutations in each of us.
Others have since looked at DNA in chimpanzees to try to produce general estimates for humans.
However, next generation sequencing technology has enabled the scientists to produce a far more direct and reliable estimate.

Rubbish. There you go.
Funny about that Arse man getting a ban. Wonder if this is a new shift to be stricter with clear divers.

You sound as if you care, tb!
A good thing, of course. -
The 7-11 bank atms are open 24 hours aren't they?

It's pretty strong, but in a cheddary kind of friendly way.

ACTOR Macaulay Culkin is the mystery dad of Michael Jackson's son Blanket, it was claimed last night.
The Home Alone film star is said to have donated sperm to help Jacko create his seven-year-old offspring - real name Prince Michael II - with an unknown surrogate mum.
The two celebrities became firm friends after Culkin, now 29, shot to fame as a child in the 1990 box office smash.

Better job to go to.

Tell you what I HATE.
It's when I'm driving along on a fairly empty road, with a very clear view of what is behind me - nothing! - and some ojisan in a white truck pulls out of a road in front of me causing me to slam on the breaks. He then of course proceeds to drive along at 30kmh. It just really gets me swearing that.

To rearrange your quote Jynxx, "drugs are a health issue - absolutely ridiculous!"

Did they play particularly well?
I mean come on they were playing the mighty Sporting Gijon. Which sounds more like a meal than a football team.

Do all those ...'s represent letters, you know like in hangman? -
Got to admit it's very exciting though, surely.

Pity Everton gave up on Lescott though.
Having said that, 22 million for him? Madness.

Hey I need to get a new desktop PC soon and thinking of waiting to get one with Windows 7 on. I'd rather get it with that on straight off rather than get one of these upgrade program things. Not clear to me though when I'll be able to get one of them, say from Dell. Anyone able to enlighten me?
Thanks.

It's kind of nice seeing Burnley get a decent start with some very good wins. But can they keep it up?
-
I wouldn't have expected that.
Good one.
Airport parking charges in the UK are indeed crazy.

Is it just me or is this year generally not as relentlessly hot as it usual is?
Maybe I'm just getting more used to it.

He really seems to be putting himself in a corner there as well as burning those bridges. Haha.

Ah but remember Holland are in the "Top 3" and are mighty. They must be as they beat Japan.
